THIS MIGHT BE THE ONE! Canon R5II Hands on First Impressions

[@LanceNotHiding]

Love seeing Manny and Jared's bromance whenever it pops up.

[@richardbudai9590]

Great videos ... I am more than happy holding on to my R5 for another 2-3 years at least.

[@grumblewoof4721]

Thanks Manny. So far I have looked at several early reviews and to be honest for what I shoot I can't see enough of feature advantages to warrant upgrading from my R5. I see they have merged more of the R5C into the R5 II so if you are migrating to video/hybrid shooting then the new R5 II might be justified. Maybe a year or two down the road I might get a discounted R5 II and keep the R5 as a backup. I have loaned my 5D MkIV to a friends daughter to help her photography career... thinking back, I could have kept the 5D MkIV and not got the R5 and I would still have been happy. I feel we are often sucked into the hype of new gear and often can waste a lot of money.

[@zegzbrutal]

R5 with Stacked cmos and even better IBIS& AF is not enough? Really?

[@grumblewoof4721]

@@zegzbrutal It's the difference between the new R5 II price here in the UK which is £4,499 and the trade in price of my current R5 of around £1,600... £2,899. Which means I would be paying £2,899 for a camera with slightly better stacked cmos sensor and slightly better IBIS & AF. But, as far as image quality and getting the shot or more keeper images, it is marginal. The R5 is still a great camera and takes amazing images. I was expecting to see more in the R5 II, especially with AI, a better articulated rear screen (like the Sony) and a better menu system, anti-theft security features. the merging of some R5C video features is welcome but only if you are a hybrid shooter as it does not meet the standards and features of a dedicated cinema camera. E.g. does the R5 II meet Netflix standards like the R5C ?

[@gonzoscott6595]

Wow, I am hearing ALOT of talk about a Stacked CMOS sensor, but nobody will tell me how this camera takes better photos. I get it, great at focusing, but I never had a problem focusing my old r5. Improved dynamic range? Crickets. I am mainly landscape, so maybe this upgrade is not for me. If I am wrong, tell me. Thanks!

People don't talk about eye control enough, it's awesome. I'm left-eyed and the R3 eye control works much better in vertical, but still works fine enough in horizontal. But I welcome it in the R52 as well. It's great, not just for sports but many other things.

Best preview video, I watch all the tour mates of this session, your preview is really clear to understand.

[@williamsolis1]

The true Canon flagship.😊

[@jonasgillmann]

My only complaint about the R5 Mark II is that it's a downgrade from the R5C in ONE category. The R5C has proven that 8K oversampled 4K60p is possible and Nikon had 8K oversampled 4K60p for years but the R5 Mark II still limits it to only 30fps (4K-D Fine and 4K-U Fine are limited to 30fps). The R5 Mark II would be capable of 8K oversampled 4K60p as R5C has proven but Canon seemingly doesn't want to give us oversampled 4K60p to leave it as an exclusive feature for their R5C. Their newest R5 Mark II should at least match everything their older R5C was capable of. Canon gave us 8K oversampled 4K60p and then took it from us again. Cutting features from your newest flagship camera to leave them as exclusive features on an older camera even though their new camera would technically be capable of is a bad look! It's not too late to fix this by bringing 8K oversampled 4K60p to the R5 Mark II with a firmware update though. PLEASE CANON!

@@zegzbrutal how is the n-log poor? It's pretty great. You get raw up to 4k 120fps. The r5's image looks like it is super compressed and has a shit ton of aliasing and moire in the 4k formats that are line skipping, which is every frame rate beyond 30fps. The r5c even is a much better video camera today.

The state of these comments is really really sad and I don't really remember seeing this before in Manny's comment section. Some of you guys are way too unintelligent to be in here and even try to discuss these features it is way over your head.

[@ksk40]

interesting thing is, in China, R5II is offcially 27999 CNY(3850 USD) and second hand SONY A1 being 28000 CNY to 32000 CNY(3850-4400USD) while brand new A1 being 34000CNY to 35000CNY(4800 USD). personally I'd take A1 in that case given the overall ecosystem

Thank Manny for this video. I would like to add one thing, please. It’s SAD that these days camera manufacturers justify their price increase by adding flashy but IMPRACTICAL features like upscaling jpg files to 180 megapixels! Why don’t Sony and Canon add 32 BIT FLOAT internal audio recording to their cameras? That will help the majority of camera users who are solo shooters. Panasonic LUMIX GH7 already has it. All the pros know audio is worth 50% of their videos. If the audio is bad, then the video is useless.

[@qamstel]

I’m still choosing the Z8 over this one. Faster sensor, lower base ISO, no need for a special battery to shoot 8k raw at a 1000$ cheaper.

It's impossible to justify any of Sony camera bodies' prices. After recent events (Nikon Z6 III, Canon R5 II & R1 announcement) it's more and more apparent that Sony camera bodies from A7 IV, through A7R V all the way to A1 are heavily overpriced.

[@reina5834]

Uhhh, it's like 4 years old at this point. Technically, you could get it for way less if you know where to get. Otherwise, it's still Sony's flagship so they can justify its price

[@DieHardEddieEdwards]

@@reina5834 Uhh, yeah it’s a 4 year old camera with no reduction in price. Uhh, the other brands lowered the price on all their cameras. And uhh, the features are the same as the $3500-$4200 cameras for other brands.

[@MannyOrtiz]

If we are not factoring in the lenses and only speaking of the camera bodies, it really is impossible to justify with this release

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

The One? Isn't it the SECOND one? At best, the R5 II is an iterative improvement. Lots of interesting new features...many of which will not be used by the typical shooter. Upscaling and noise reduction are something I think most will always choose to do in post.

You say you would consider the R5ll for your main sports camera. So whats your main camera for portrait work ? How does the R5ll eye auto focus work along with the eye control ? I have been with Sony since buying my A7r lll around six years ago. But i only have 3 Sony lenses. The 28/55 and 85 f1.8. Because i wanted to keep things small and light. And my camera is still in like new condition. But i still own my 5Dlll and all my Canon mount glass. I am wondering how good older Canon mount glass works with the R5ll. Including Tamron and Sigma glass. Which only works ok on my Sony. The R5ll has me thinking about Canon again. But i have been staying with Sony because of top quality 3rd party glass. Even though i haven't bought any of it yet for my Sony. And also because Canon and Nikons top glass is all so big and heavy like there 50 and 85 f1.2 lenses and there 28/70 f2 lens. Anyway i am ready to treat myself to a new camera. But i might still wait to see whats next from Sony. If i bought the R5ll i would start out by adapting my old glass that i barely ever use on my Sony. But then i think with 4000 dollars i could buy a few really nice new lenses for my A7r lll. I wish i could see a color comparison between an A7r lll and A7rV. And also the R5ll. Because recently i have been looking at some of my older images ftom my 5Dlll and really like how they look. So im going to try playing around with my 5Dlll again. Even though the focusing system is outdated and low tec. Sorry for the long rambling comment. Ive been holding back investing big in Sony to see what Nikon and Canon was going to do. But they keep making huge and heavy glass with almost no 3rd party options.

[@salvadorvelazquez8783]

Manny maybe you can help. I picked up the R5ii and man it’s really nice.

My r3 and my r5 have no problem with hss when I switch on the trigger. I shoot with the westscott. I hope you can help.

[@kwalter349]

I'm thinking about buying a system camera soon. Since I don't have any lenses yet, it's easier. In general, I would like Nikon (e.g. Z8) prefer, but too big and too heavy. Z6 III (size would be just right) too expensive (still) for delivered performance. Z7II outdated in terms of Autofocus.. R5 MK2 with better size , better weight than the Z8 , and with one of the best Autofocus. For amateurs like me, who don't earn money with it, both would be greatly exaggerated. But buying again in a short time would be even more expensive. Better to buy once and then be satisfied for a longer period of time.

I don't understand how he's saying the R5 is known for its great dynamic range. It's not at all - it's known for having relatively poor dynamic range compared to other equivalently priced cameras. Did it maybe have very good dynamic range for stills, but not for video or something like that? I don't know if that's possible, but maybe... Otherwise what he's saying seems very odd for a camera reviewer.

[@jbmedia8882]

So no better image quality just a couple of new tricks. I’ll never give up my A7R5.

[@ScottBasu]

I wouldn’t give up on an A7R5 if I had the pleasure of owning one, either. It’s a beast! But there are some things that this new R5 mk2 can do that no other body can. The R5 mk2 has improved the DR to 14-bit RAW in Electronic Shutter mode, which is a really big deal for people that want to stay silent and still get maximum image quality! We will see what the practical limitations are in terms of FPS w.r.t. and AF accuracy - R7 mk1 had some notable AF accuracy inconsistencies at full H+ speed, and it remains to be seen if the R5 mk2 has decisively solved that issue with the new DIGIC Accelerator chip added.

I guess if you’re looking for a camera to shoot long periods of 8k raw then you’ll be disappointed but for the average shooter it’s pretty much good for everything.
