Customer Ratings & Reviews

A solid upgrade from an R6. AF is phenomenal. Where have you been hiding this Canon all these years. Noisy at very high ISO but easily denoised with say Topaz. Solid for portraits too. High MP certainly helps with long distance wildlife and the ability to crop in closer in post

Coming from a 5d Mark 4 this is really amazing. The autofocus alone is worth the asking price. Mainly used for photo. I noticed it does breathe new life into my older EF lenses and the images are sharp more times than not. Build quality feels pretty good. Not as good as the 5d Mark 4 or even the R3 but it should hold up well. I have normal sized hands and this does feel a tiny bit small in them which may be an issue on long wedding days but there are 3 different grips you could add onto this camera. Overall it was time for me to go mirrorless but still miss the amazing ergonomics of the Mark4.

The camera is everything I researched and is a great addition to my gear. Its solid, grip feels great and paired with my lenses, it gets the job done. Should probably coe with something for the price.

The EOS R5 Mark II is arguably today’s ultimate hybrid camera. It outpaces its predecessor and rivals on performance, image quality, autofocus, video, usability, and even introduces game-changing features like Eye‑Control AF and in-camera upscaling. While it commands a premium price and slightly dips in battery stamina, I believe this camera is the best full-frame mirrorless I ever owned.

I purchased the Canon R5 II and traded my Canon R7, for my Wildlife photography! I had the Canon R7 since it came out, even though it was a good camera it had flaws. After using the Canon R5 original from a friend, I decided that the Canon R5 II was a better choice for what I do. Once I setup the Canon R5 II the way I like to photograph Wildlife, this camera has all the toys and whistles on my budget that I could dream about. I already have the Canon 100-500mm lens and with this camera is a great combination. Is it completely perfect, no! The price, the extra battery and Best Buy unique buy back program was perfect for my need.

Finally got a new camera after using an R6 for years. This has been quite a step up. I haven’t gotten to give it a full workout yet with moving stuff, but for portraiture, it’s been excellent. There’s still a LOT for me to learn and use on this camera, but the IQ is top notch!

This is the best purchase of my life! I know they say is the lens, but y'all let me tell you that the R5ii is a must have. Love the eye detecting feature that it has and the quality of images is just breathtaking.

A camera that could do it all. Great photos with its 45mp sensor and 8k!!

Absolutely love this camera. It does everything I need. Amazing pictures and great quality video.

Great upgrade!!! Amazing camera! The autofocus is insane! The ergonomics are perfect!

We previously owned the Canon EOS R10, but decided it was time for an upgrade...oh what an upgrade this is! This camera takes the most amazing photos, it's easy to use, and although expensive, we already feel like it's worth the investment. If you've been debating on this purchase, don't - you won't regret it!

The Canon R5 Mark II is incredible. It's genuinely a quality camera, I love it a lot. For me, it's been a steep learning curve, but after a couple of weeks of reading the manuals and books on the R5 II, I can see daylight. The photos are truly of gallery quality. Team this up with Canon's high-quality lens, and it's hard to beat. 45MP and 8K video, this is like driving a race car.

I have the R6 and now I bought the R5 Mk II. Excellent camera, the ISO handling, the quality of the images, the focus, the new eye tracking features, very happy with this purchase.

Love it so far . So much to learn. So many capabilities. Feels great in the hand and has so many options for combining manual function with auto settings !

For my workflow needs, this camera is perfection! I got one on release so the delays with shipping additional units did not impact me. Additionally, there is a big concern over the updated battery, however, since this is my first Canon camera, I did not have a surplus of the other batteries so I am also insulated from that issue. Overall, the MP sizing, video codecs, user friendly UI/menu system and excellent ergos make this camera my dream camera incarnate. It will serve me well for years to come as I don’t plan on upgrading and will open up all the beautiful RF glass I have.

So far this camera seems worth the upgrade from my regular R5. The improvement in the auto focus alone makes it shine in wildlife photography.

The M2 is a slight upgrade to the M1. I shoot wildlife, so the biggest improvement is that the stacked sensor allows for faster focusing of moving objects, though high ISO performance may be a bit worse that the M1. The GPS pairing via Canon Camera Connect app still doesn't work well for me; my 10-year old 7D M2 still captures GPS data without an app, so this is the biggest disappointment. Overall I'm pretty happy with the upgrade: I seem to be able to get more keepers shooting animals from flying birds to tiny insects.

The best camera I have ever used! Great quality, amazing video and picture!

Extremely well made and consumer friendly. Love the focusing ability.

[Employee of bestbuy] I upgraded from the Canon EOS R5 and was skeptical at first. They eyeball autofocus as well as precapture and action priority modes made this well worth the upgrade! And this is just to name a few! Canon has done it again!
