First Look Review | Canon EOS R5 Mark II - the BEST camera yet for photo and video??

[@3-piece129]

As someone from Texas, it might be the British accent that entranced me, but this might be one of the best reviews on KZbin- great job 👏 (wait, am I supposed to bow?). As for the camera, I’m shocked at the quality at 1/4000, f/4, ISO 6400. I’m looking forward to what I will get using a 2.8 lens…wow! Keep it up, Queen 👸

Thanks for the in depth preview. Y you provided some details I hadn't heard elsewhere.

Best Video on R5 2

Do you think this camera is overkill for wedding photography? Fantastic review 👌📸

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Thanks! We wouldn't say it's overkill - it's designed to perform in every setting and you'd really benefit from the register people priority AF and advanced focus, especially for more reportage style wedding photography. Of course you can also switch into video mode to get gorgeous video footage to incorporate as well. Can other cameras with fewer features shoot great weddings? Of course... but this will certainly make it very enjoyable and easy to get great shots and make sure you don't miss the important moments 😊

To shoot weddings get a camera with a tilt screen and not the side hinged rear screen as it’s too conspicuous, slow and obtrusive. And no wedding photographer has ever needed to shoot themselves during a wedding. It really is about time Canon moved away from this screen and give us a choice!

[@Pixelpeeps-69]

@@davidmurray5926 yes you have a very valid point about the tilt screen!

[@WilkinsonCameras]

@@davidmurray5926@davidmurray5926 Shooting video alongside stills - particularly vertical video - is especially vital for most professionals today. This is where a fully articulated screen becomes vital. Shooting vertical video on a tilt-only screen is a pain. Most content is now consumed on mobile phones and wedding clients want to share their images as videos, reels, stories of portrait orientation posts... because that's how most pictures are appreciated now. Yes there are two-way tilt screens which offer vertical tilt, but two-way tilt screens tend to be more faffy to use in our experience. So, fully articulated screens offer the most versatility and cater to the largest type of user.

It will make your life easier. Since you can register faces the camera is less likely to switch focus to some random stranger that passes near the wedding party. With the eye controlled at you can make sure you lock on the right person in a group. It also has a back side illuminated sensor so it should be a lowlight beast. Other features will be great. Can't wait for mine to come though I'll keep my r5 as a second body

The battery for the MII will work on the MI but you will have update the firmware.

[@WilkinsonCameras]

Apologies, yes you are correct! The LP-E6P can be used with the R5 and R6 with no issues. Cameras may need a firmware update.

[@Maximilan20]

As amazing as the specs are they don't overshadow my R6ii. I believe some features will come in a firmware update in the futute. Clog 2 and to register faces will be a welcome update though

[@artisticpicture]

Very good detail review! R5 4k120 is only available with ALL-I, which generates huge file size. Does R5 II has a highly compressed format available (IPB etc)? Thank you!

[@akikoslave]

Lovely Hybrid Camera, enjoy R5 now R5II are coming....🥰

[@siemworks7078]

With the original R5, you could save a certain video setting on the C3 custom mode. This video mode would be used when you press video in the photo mode. Really useful for Hybrid shooting. Is this still possible with te R5 II?
