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.

The Canon R5 Mark II has completely redefined my photography experience! The autofocus is lightning-fast and incredibly accurate — it locks on subjects even in low light. The dynamic range and image clarity are simply next-level, and the 8K video quality is breathtaking. I love how Canon improved heat management and added smoother handling compared to the original R5. It’s the perfect hybrid camera for both photography and videography. If you want top-tier performance, reliability, and color science — this is the one. Highly recommend it!

Excellent hybrid camera, the best I've tried, perfect focus, giant screen viewfinder with the perfect resolution, a pass, I've tried it both in video and in photo, its 45 mpx make it a real photo machine.
