Pros: High image quality, versatility, rich functions, ergonomics, energy consumption

Cons: Some limited criticalities with the autofocus, perhaps rather complex menu due to the amount of options, otherwise I found no faults

Opinion: Purchased a few months ago, it represented for me the entry into the modern mirrorless world. Taking into account that I only use it to take photos, so far it has met expectations very much. Robust enough to fall out of my hand without having even a scratch, it is a concentrate of technologies, so much so that in some contexts I have not yet found the best possible combination to make the most of its characteristics. The quality performance is very good, beyond the resolution itself I find that dynamics and colors are excellent, with very well workable files produced. The autonomy is good, with the battery grip you can largely exceed a thousand shots. Excellent autofocus with all the lenses I own, only in some very critical junctures does it show limits. I don't use focus with the eye as I don't think it's accurate enough, at least in my case, I prefer to do without it. Good ergonomics, I had to become familiar with the new layout of the controls but the adaptation was very quick and now I find it particularly apt as a solution. The electronic viewfinder is much appreciated, which does not make you regret the optical version of the reflex cameras excessively, the display is comfortable and versatile. Honestly, so far I think I have exploited only a small part of the potential of the car but after all it is very difficult to use all the functions, unless you want to do it only for the purpose of real technical testing. In the end, the mix offered is very satisfactory and I judge the cost of the camera to be well correlated with the features offered.

Pros: Sensor, functionality, versatility, viewfinder, comfort

Cons: Overheating, materials, expensive

Opinion: Tested by Canon Italia for a few days together with the 70-200 pcs, the historic Canon 5 series that stands as the definitive all-rounder in the camera market. Compared to the first generation, finally here we have a competitive camera in terms of functionality and not a run-up to the mirrorless world. Rolling shutter and other issues of the first version have been fixed. We find ourselves in the hands of a definitive expense that should "pay for itself" over the years between photography and video. The autofocus is nothing short of perfect, completely customizable in areas and modes, an AF that I appreciated more than Sony's operation (less customizable). Excellent sensor, synergy with the lenses known canon, the colors are the right ones and everything works wonderfully. And yet it warms. it heats up a mess, it heats up so much that, during a 4-hour shooting, with short bursts of PHOTOS, not videos, with the fan handle they provided me, it overheated. It had never happened to me to overheat a car while taking photos, a very strange situation that left a great bitter taste in my mouth. The body is produced with a different plastic from Sony or Nikon which gives it a "toy" feeling and seems to cost much less, having said that the buttons and the grip are perfect and well positioned. It left me with a huge doubt, for what it costs I expected the perfect photo and video camera, burst and mpx, robust and transportable, if it freezes while I work but everything collapses (specifically they didn't tell me it was a pre-production model, it was a retail). Splendid viewfinder even if with me the eye tracking has never worked, how sad.

Pros: autofocus, ergonomics, file quality, batt duration (below I'll explain why...), pre-shooting, the third thumb ring (I put the exposure there)

Cons: only one slot, Signa and Tamron not compatible (nice .... (a)

Opinion: I premise no video and exclusive use for nature photography, perennially merged with the Canon 600 f4 II. The battery life has monstrously increased because I never use the screen (which I don't use by definition) and above all because the viewfinder turns off as I detach the eye from the eyepiece, we are about 2000 shots and more (bursts). The quality of the file is superlative and in case of noise, Topaz De Noise digests it spectacularly. Ergonomics are very personal, and for me they are perfect, neither big nor small. The AF with the eye never used because it locks on to the subject's eye so well that it is not needed. The stabilization with medium-short focal lengths works very well, with the 600 I can't say because it works very well on its own. Speaking of buffers, with the right board (V60) it's a rocket. As mentioned they have added (compared to my previous 7DmkII) a third "thumb" dial that can be set, very useful for balancing the exposure instead of the key/front dial combination.

Pros: Lightness, image quality

Cons: autofocus, in my case very disappointing, perceived quality, ergonomics that can be improved

Opinion: I use both Canon and Nikon and before making a final choice I chose the way to experiment and compare the 2 systems personally. I have owned the R5 mark II for about 2 months sign updated to the latest version, main use of birds with a lens of 200 800 that I also use with the R7. The autofocus in my case is particularly ineffective especially on birds in flight, a situation in which the R5 mark II should be the excellence, I must say that with the R7 the results are much superior which is saying something. I also own a Nikon Z8 with several FX and Z lenses including the Z 180 600, consideration; weight aside, the results with Nikon are much more effective. In some cases I also came out with the two systems, so the same conditions to be clear, the same actions and predictable movements of the subject (feeding the chicks with actions to and from the nest) At 20 frames according to most of the time the Canon after 4 shots loses focus and goes into the background, the Nikon Z8 when it locks on and you are good at keeping the subject in the frame hardly lets it go. With Canon I tried all possible autofocus settings (basic: servo/animal eye detection/tracking) with very disappointing results. I thought it could be the lens (unfortunately I don't have any other telephoto lenses to compare at the moment) but why if I use it with the R7 I get much better results ?? Basically for me the R5 Mark II is a disappointment, I hope I can change my mind because in terms of weight the advantages are evident even if in terms of robustness and ergonomics the sensations when I use Nikon are more gratifying.

Pros: Image quality. Prompt and precise autofocus. Beautiful and realistic viewfinder that remains quite pleasant even in bad light. Versatility, it can do pretty much anything well. Very very beautiful colors, even the JPEGs are much better than R5 old and R6ii. The only big regret concerns as usual the "form factor", i.e. body design and components at "Entry Level" levels. Nikon Z8, Sony A7r5 /A1 are in a much higher range...

Cons: It's not a flagship... Some components are too cheap. Usable only with the new battery, which is also not very long-lasting (about 700 shots). Overheating problems during intense use that knock it out after 20 minutes (coincidentally officially mentioned among the things to be solved with the release of the latest firmware) The Eye control AF system, which on paper could have made a huge difference, a revolution, is actually unusable, pure marketing .. Mediocre image stabilization as on R7, to be reviewed and fixed. the R6II does better. Exclusive and increasingly expensive lens park, Tamron and Sigma are missing which would work very well and would give a lot of life to the RF system.

Opinion: The R5 Mark II puts things back in place in the hierarchy of Canon's mirrorless cameras, re-establishing distances compared to lower-end models. From the very first moment of use, you can feel that the R5 II has reached a higher level of maturity. It is a point-in-point camera, with a solid autofocus and finally a good viewfinder, sober and with the right brightness, which remains smooth and beautiful even in low light. The new 45mpx stacked sensor has significantly reduced the problem of rolling shutter, which now occurs only in the most complex situations. In addition, compared to the old R5, the colors have improved and the unpleasant magenta tendency that characterized the old sensor in certain scenes has also disappeared. Regarding the ISO tightness of the new sensor, the question is very simple, it all depends, as almost always happens, on the light !!! If the scene or if the subject are sufficiently illuminated, the file is very valid (and the JPEG is ready to use) even at 25600 ISO. Conversely, if the light is not sufficient, the file is affected. Up to 6400 ISO no problem (and we would miss it) the quality is excellent, at 12800 ISO you start to notice the noise but the quality remains good, at 25600 ISO instead you notice a significant deterioration, it remains usable for documentary purposes. However, when the light drops (a lot), you notice a certain difference in general compared to the files derived from the 24mpx sensors, for example of the R6 and R3. The noise is more visible and the contours tend to fade and become kneaded. The R5ii isn't exactly lightning fast when it comes to alertness and wake-up. The sensitivity of the shutter button and the responsiveness of the joystick are not great, and the AF ON button used as a back button focus is a bit too skimpy and unpleasant and is positioned next to the joystick instead of above. In these respects the R5 II is still quite far from the Sony A1 and A9iii and also from the Nikon Z8 and Z9. I like the camera that supports me and allows me to shoot almost with my thoughts... I observe something that strikes me, I don't have time to bring my finger to the shutter button, I touch it, and I bring home the shot .. The R5 II does not allow me to do this, the Sony does... We'll see what the R1 can do. The R5II, however, is certainly a beautiful camera, it allows you to do practically everything and well, even in sports and nature as long as it is used with bright and high-performance lenses and consequently very expensive. However, it gives me the impression of being a camera more suited to static or semi-static photography, rather than action. In reality it does great everywhere, but it is the experience of use, and the pleasure, that make the difference and that for me are the fundamental thing. And personally I didn't feel entirely at ease. The impression is that of having a body for the hands a little too plastic, only mid-range, with an ergonomics that leaves a little to be desired, keys and dials do not fall like a glove for my hands (ditto with R5old R6ii R7) the side rubber to protect the grips is a long and single piece stuck with a "spit" that gives the impression of jumping away from one moment to the next. And finally there are the 45mpx, which I don't need at all in sports and photographic hunting and I'm just a hindrance when the light goes down (ditto the 50 of the A1 and the 45 of the Z8/9) disfiguring the image quality. By the way, I don't care about 300% surgical vision on the monitor, and if I really wanted to enjoy the file and crop like a desperate person I would take the GFX100 II whose file is from another planet and the optics park costs less than the RF one.
