The Canon EOS R5 II may have the same 45-megapixel resolution as its predecessor, but it's much faster and more powerful.
The original R5 was released in 2020 alongside the first R6, so the R5 II has been a long time coming. While the R6 got its excellent successor,, more than a year and a half ago, Canon’s only high-resolution mirrorless camera has been languishing. Well, no longer, as the EOS R5 Mark II has arrived and promises significant improvements across the board.
The R5 II’s stacked sensor promises significantly faster readout speeds and reduced rolling shutter than its predecessor; more speed is a big theme for the R5 II across the board. The camera’s autofocus system is faster and more accurate, and the R5 II can shoot up to 30 frames per second using its more effective electronic shutter.
The camera also borrows the R3’s 5.76-million-dot electronic viewfinder , which enables the R5 II to utilize Canon’s Eye Control AF mode. This means photographers can control the autofocus area using their eye when shooting through the EVF. Essentially, the R5 II promises a much better autofocus system and a helpful new way to control it, especially when tracking a moving subject. By the way, the EVF also promises blackout-free shooting when using the electronic shutter.
