Features
  • Totally new 45 megapixel CMOS sensor delivers incredible detail

    Even though the pixel count is the same as the EOS R5, this is a completely new 45MP sensor design. This new full-frame sensor is stacked and back-illuminated allowing for incredible electronic shutter performance of 30 fps RAW or full-resolution JPEG still images. Sensor read-out speeds are dramatically increased, significantly reducing rolling shutter distortion.

  • Pre-continuous shooting is now possible in electronic shutter mode, when the shutter is pressed halfway the camera begins capturing images, and when fully pressed, the previous ½-second of images are written to the memory card.

  • DIGIC Accelerator

    The DIGIC Accelerator chip is a completely new front-end processor developed by Canon to supplement the power of the proven DIGIC X processor. The DIGIC Accelerator handles the processing that makes so many of the new features of this camera possible, allowing the DIGIC X chip to focus solely on image processing, again contributing to incredible speed.

  • The DIGIC Accelerator processes large volumes of data directly from the image sensor for actions like AF detection to exposure metering calculations that enable eye-control focus, subject identification and tracking, and even deep learning with features like neural upscaling and noise reduction.

  • ISO 100 - 51200 (expandable to 102400) for crisp, clear photos even in ultralow light

    Enhances shooting in varied and fast-changing lighting situations, including extremely low light.

  • Time to focus

    Autofocus has been significantly updated on the EOS R5 Mark II with features like subject tracking which it shares with the new flagship EOS R1. Subject tracking allows you to maintain focus on a subject even when they are obscured briefly while shooting. And, for even faster positioning of your active AF Area, the R5 Mark II adds Canon’s Eye Control AF - even more advanced than the Eye Control in the EOS R3 camera.

  • Once you calibrate the viewfinder to your eye, just look where you want to focus, and the AF Area will move there when you press the AF activation button.

  • Action priority

    Thanks again to the increased camera processing power of the DIGIC Accelerator chip, we have developed a new AF mode called Action priority. This new focusing technology selects subjects according to movement and other factors so you always get a great action shot! This feature works with three sports at the moment, soccer, volleyball, and basketball.

  • With Action priority the camera can recognize and track specific people, and takes into account ball tracking, movement tracking, eye-control AF and more to help ensure you get the action shot you want when everything is moving so fast.

  • Get Cinematic

    With its 45MP sensor, 8K video up to 60 frames per second can be recorded internally, to the camera’s CFexpress card (sold separately). A new menu now includes Cinema EOS terminology, making it even easier for users to access and understand the video features of this camera, and be easily integrated into video productions where Cinema EOS cameras may be used like the EOS C70 or EOS C400.

  • RAW video can be recorded at 8K resolution, and there’s now an S-RAW setting for 4K RAW video recording. RAW video is now 14-bit recording, for even greater range of tonalities. For users who don’t need RAW video, MP4-type video can be recorded in a multitude of possible file types and resolutions, from Full HD (at up to 240 frames per second), 4K at up to 120 frames per second with sound and 8K. Any of the “Fine” options record oversampled video, for even greater sharpness and detail.

  • Canon Log 2 and C-Log 3 are available. And, the R5 Mark II adds features like a full-size HDMI port on the camera, Waveform monitors, and up to 24-bit, 4-channel audio recording.

  • More Power

    With all of the enhancements to the new EOS R5 Mark II, it requires a little more power than the previous EOS Mirrorless cameras, and therefore ships with a new, higher amperage battery, the LP-E6P. This battery is the same size and shape of previous LP batteries, but is easily distinguished from older models by featuring a white stripe and white Canon logo. This new battery can be used in older Canon mirrorless and even DSLR cameras, but requires a camera firmware update to do so.

  • Bright and clear EVF

    A new Electronic viewfinder is now the same 0.5-inch 5.76 million dot OLED EVF you would find in the EOS R3 with approx. 100% coverage, 0.76x magnification, and an eyepoint of approx. 24mm. Some of the EVF lenses inside the body are sealed in an airtight structure making it difficult for the viewfinder to fog up.

  • Weather resistance

    The EOS R5 Mark II is dust- and weather-resistant, with the same performance as the EOS R5, even when using one of the new optional grips.

  • Dual Card Slots for CFexpress** and UHS-II SD Memory Cards***

    Whether you are shooting photos every day, or are recording 8K videos, the EOS R5 Mark II camera can capture an incredible amount of images through its super high-speed CFexpress dual card slots. Plus, a UHS-II SD*** card slot is also provided. The two card slots can be utilized for separate recording of still photos and movies, main and proxy recording of movies, and recording to multiple cards.

  • Improved Image Stabilization

    The EOS R5 Mark II has the same 5-axis in-body stabilization as the original R5 that provides optimal image stabilization, and uses coordinated IS in conjunction with RF lenses that have built-in IS. Roll operation range is now approx. 2xthat of the EOS R3, and when a compatible lens is used*3, the CMOS sensor suppresses blurring at the periphery of the image, and even at the center.

  • Additionally, the IS algorithm has been updated and a new mechanical design now allows for 8.5 stops of coordinated correction at the center, and 7.5 stops at the periphery*1*2*3

  • 3.2" TFT LCD monitor

    Touch screen monitor with manually adjustable brightness control by selecting one of seven brightness levels.

  • The EOS R5 Mark II has three optional grips that provide additional battery power and exciting new functionality:

    Battery grip BG-R20: Allows for 2 LP batteries and provides controls for vertical shooting, including an improved multi-controller position. ^

  • Battery grip BG-R20EP: Allows for 2 LP batteries and provides controls for vertical shooting and includes a 2.5G Base-T high-speed ethernet port for fast-paced tethered shooting. ^

  • Cooling fan CF-R20EP: Allows for 2 LP batteries and provides a multi-speed fan to help keep the camera cool in challenging video production situations. ^

    Great update for an already great camera

    This EOS R5 MkII has several significant upgrades from the original (which I still have and use). The autofocus tech is substantially better. I shoot a lot of sports, birds, and wildlife. Once the autofocus locks on, it rarely looses the subject, whereas with my original R5, the lock would drop if the subject moved behind a branch or if another person got between an athlete and my subject. The Mkii stays on the selected subject much more consistently. The high-speed top end for burst is a double-edge sword...yes, you can almost be certain of capturing a moment of fast action. But using the full 30 fps along with 1/2 second pre-shoot selected is too much for all but the most intense circumstances (15 frames for the preshoot and 30 frames for every additional second). I will absolutely use it for photographing birds diving for fish and other once-in-a-while super action events, but I will likely stay away from it otherwise. It's super cool to have as an option though. Along with the various burst modes, they have also included a menu to allow you to limit the number of frames in a burst; that's something I've mentioned to about a dozen Canon reps over the time I've been shooting with my original R5 and I'm really happy they've made that option available. I wish they would have included a GPS in-body. I do a lot of hiking and like to know specifically where on various trails I've taken my photos. But I do have and use the external GPS and it works fine although it's cumbersome. All in all, it's a great camera and I'm super happy to have it as my primary shooting camera.

    It's a great camera!

    I switched from the Canon 5D Mark IV to the EOS R5, and as much as I enjoyed the 5D, I really love this R5. Lighter, better focusing, very sharp images, intuitive menu options, I can truly go on and on about the step up from great to GREAT. I now understand the hype behind mirrorless cameras.
