Pros:Quality close to the previous one and a little more. Yield beyond expectations. Excellent eyepiece. Superb, deadly AF. Blackouts in the EVF disappeared.
Cons:Maybe the reversed power controls and the photo/video selector that at first could create problems with your fingers while holding the camera. I would have preferred a second slot for CFexpress, given the cost of the machine those who make it can afford to buy two high-performance cards. The SD is vermanically ridiculous, only good for on-the-fly backups. Does not support commercial LP-E6NH, many ER80 errors.
Opinion:I was amazed at the soft electronic noise that can be adjusted as volume and with the flash and antiflicker that work very well. The Godox V1 and V1c pro are much more responsive thanks to the excellent dialogue with the machine. Short bursts at 1/250 in electronic with flash are worth the money right away. Everything else if you are used to the first R5, you will have a richer menu to satisfy various needs. I haven't delved into the video part which is immense for me and will certainly make many people happy. I have set the Eye Controlled AF by default but I will have to concentrate more for an optimal setting. I will continue to use it with the display open and already in the eyepiece with the use of glasses the experience is very pleasant, finally. The old LP-E6NH (original Canon) holds up well all the photo part and immediately warns you that some functions are disabled but mainly concerns the video sector where the need for power is high. These new LP-E6NP are very performing, for sure I will get more. With all previous batteries it won't even turn on. The USB-C connection with the Ipad Air 5^ generation is excellent and when you turn off the machine the same ipad keeps the R5 charged, something to be deepened over time for duration but it is very reassuring when you are around. The settings for jpegs are very good and extremely sensitive, it takes little to distort the result, you have to pay close attention to the calibration but the results are already visible immediately and far exceed the other R's that were and are already satisfactory. Almost perfect battery performance, there would be no need for the BG even for ceremonies over 5 hours. In two 10-hour events and almost 1500 shots each, the battery was still at 40% without keeping it on unnecessarily in downtime. Tested in the studio with lights controlled at iso 100 and 200, magnificent rendering that does not differ at all from the good old R5.
Pros:Super fast AF - autofocus with eye - pre capture - no longer heats up like the old r5 - possibility to take photos and videos at the same time - staked sensor
Cons:switch for ignition in an awkward position, I can't find anything else
Opinion:The best camera currently on the market for nature photography! it easily beats Z9/Z8 and Alpha1 giving them a good gap, both in autofocus and innovations. Everything that was wrong with the R5 has been fixed and enhanced, integrating new technologies and functions. The photographic quality itself has improved by a small percentage, in the R5 Mark II the photos are sharper, crispier and not muddled like the R5 (you notice it only if you crop more than 200%), the dynamic range has improved by a small percentage, you can recover the micro contrast well for overexposure, Something that with R5 was more difficult (you only notice it if you crop over 100%) what really changes is the staked 30fps sensor - a really fast autofocus, never seen such a fast autofocus, superior to Z9 and R3 fantastic viewfinder - ability to make 2k videos at 230fps or 8k raw 60fps - the camera heats up much but much less!! - Slightly increased stabilization. Great feature for taking photos and videos together. What else can I say, Canon has churned out a gem at the right price and totally backwards compatible from EF mark ii lenses upwards !! Great with 200-800!! I will place it next to my R7
Pros:AF system, multiple improvements to the previous model.
Cons:Missing: the dual pixel raw and the pixel shift in camera (present on the R5 mk I). There is no spot metering linked to the focus point. Menu more articulated than usual, compared to Canon's standard reference. There is no GPS.
Opinion:Video sector not evaluated, the prevalent use is in the photographic field. The autofocus system has been significantly improved and now takes advantage of the new algorithms, recently implemented in the eos system; among other things, there is now gaze-controlled focusing, as on the R3 and, recently, on the R1. The viewfinder is larger and brighter than before. The shutter now goes up to 1/32000. The burst has been increased and the pre-shot is present. Customization is now at the highest levels, thanks to the updating and further expansion of functions, albeit at the expense of a considerable articulation of the items on the menu. In general, the camera is more responsive than its predecessor and seems to handle noise better at high ISO (I reserve the right to test it better and more thoroughly, because these are only the initial impressions). Don't value new in-room development features, such as upscaling. I would have liked the expository reading related to the point of focus. The same goes for the dual pixel raw, which had made its appearance on the 5D mark IV and which had been developed and improved, further, on the R5. And, still on the subject, although it was not a function that I used that much, it lacks the pixel shift (IBIS) that had been added via firmware, lately, to the R5. To conclude, it could be said that, now, we have a "mature" and better version of the R5 in toto, similar to what happened with the transition from the R6 to the R6 mark II.
