It does so many things well…most notably - excellent focus, pre continuous shooting and eye detection. Takes some time to set up for your specific needs and there is a learning curve. Once you master everything, you will love it!

Best camera I have ever owned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Camera but not much different from the original

A.&.S.J. · December 30, 2024

The media could not be loaded. The Canon R5 is one of the best cameras I have ever used in my production business. It’s versatile for both photo and video and has some impressive autofocus, dynamic range, and creative frame rates such as 120fps. You have the option for 8K with internal recording to the robust CF express type b port. Additionally, You can use your SD port for lighter media.In the industry I’ve seen this camera body used in photo and video capacity for weddings, real estate, business marketing, social media content, podcasts, portrait photography, interviews, sports, journalism and even wildlife.The R5ii offers all the same features as the original but not much else other than enhanced autofocus, slightly better photography frame rates which for a hybrid camera are impressive, C-Log 2 for professional video, (the R5 only offers C-Log and C-Log 3) and on forums people say it has better clarity and contrast than the R5. I haven’t really noticed much a difference though. Think of the upgrades compared to the next and new version of an iPhone. It’s new and shiny but not much different from the phone you just traded in.On the body, you’ll have an improved viewfinder, and a designated switch for photo and video mode. The original R5 had a more complicated interface for switching between stills and video.All and all, if you are looking to upgrade your camera bodies and you are looking to stay on a budget I’d highly recommend the original R5 as it will be much cheaper now. But the R5ii is a solid choice for professionals and hobbyists alike.

1.0 out of 5 stars Canon's greed made me regret the purchase very much

F. · September 3, 2024

Update: 1. Canon is so greedy that even with original batteries from previous generations, half the functions don’t work. I ordered LP-E6 series P, but they’re simply out of stock.2. The camera produces noise in low light. I regret not getting a Sony.3. It overheats and shuts down while recording video. I broke out in a cold sweat when this camera turned off three times during a wedding ceremony shoot. My backup BMPCC 6K camera saved me, as it has been working flawlessly for three years nowCanon's decision to make third-party batteries incompatible with the new R5 Mark II can be seen as a short-term revenue strategy but one that carries significant long-term risks.By blocking the use of third-party batteries, Canon forces users to purchase their proprietary batteries, which are usually more expensive. This directly boosts Canon’s revenue from battery sales.Forcing customers to buy proprietary batteries may frustrate them, especially those who prefer more affordable third-party options. This can lead to dissatisfaction and damage Canon’s brand loyalty. Customers might start considering alternatives from other camera manufacturers that offer more flexibility.In the competitive camera market, users often choose brands based on the ecosystem and flexibility. If Canon's competitors offer more open systems with compatibility for third-party accessories, users might switch to those brands. Over time, this could erode Canon’s market share.Moves perceived as anti-consumer can tarnish Canon's reputation. In the age of social media, customer dissatisfaction can spread quickly, leading to a broader backlash. This can discourage new customers from choosing Canon products, fearing similar restrictive practices.While Canon may see an initial increase in revenue from the sale of proprietary batteries, the long-term consequences could be detrimental. The loss of customer trust and loyalty, coupled with the potential shift of customers to more flexible competitors, might outweigh the short-term financial gains. In a highly competitive market, such short-sighted moves could ultimately cost Canon more than they gain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Compatible with old lenses

F.F.t.W. · April 16, 2025

This is so much better than my 5D mark ii that I bought a long time ago. Camera improvements are huge over the years. I tried to use with my old lenses and they work great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Autofocus + other features.

R.H. · October 30, 2024

I'm a retired pro photographer. I've use quite a few Canon, Nikon and Sony bodies. Before buying this one, I compared it to my Canon R5, and Sony A9II, my current favorite cameras. I bought this after reading about the autofocus capabilities, the pre-continuous focus feature, and a few other features Unlike some complainers here, I knew in advance that my older batteries, while they would work would not enable all features. No big deal. I also got the base model battery grip. Anyhow, I've loved the R5 and am keeping it, but the R5 II has those nice additional pro-ish features that are absolutely fabulous. The autofocus is at least as good or better than my Sony A9II. Not one complaint about how this camera performs, about grain, about the frame rate capability, about the new grip, or anything. I also like the time lapse feature where the camera creates the video of the frames, so I don't have to go into Photoshop to do that, as I do on my A9II. Super camera in all areas where I work, and that is in almost every area of image making.

5.0 out of 5 stars reliable and quality as always with Canon and Amazon

Misleading description

M. · April 8, 2025

Misleading description used by seller. Product highly recommended but price performance balance is low. This product came with damaged box and used gear.

Advertise that it HAS Canon Warranty or else

P.K. · March 17, 2025

Although I paid FULL price for this camera body I find out there is zero Canon Warranty with it and I wanted to avoid grey/black sales but wanted a real Canon Warranty and neither was put in the Ad and I think the sellers SHOULD add in the details if it has proper makes warranty or not, I find it just deceitful not to do so. I have sent the camera back for a FULL refund and will make sure next time I buy something like this to look deeper (although you should not have to) TRANSPARENCY is the key. The Canon Warranty cards were missing from the box???? and some of the menu files were not matching to the ones on YT as like for one the "factory settings" were no where to be found and that was one red flag Eh!

no batteries

G. · October 22, 2024

Without Canon LP-E6P Lithium-Ion Battery camera is dead in the water and one battery that's someone would release a camera where batteries are limited. Looking for them but most I find are the old batteries that limit the use of the camera.
