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.

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
