Boasting impressive power, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera is a game-changer for multimedia professionals seeking versatility, image quality, and intelligence. With a high-resolution 45MP sensor and a new processor, this camera offers upgrades in various aspects, making it a go-to choice for any professional creator's needs.
The R5 Mark II features a stacked, back-illuminated sensor design, which maintains the high resolution of its predecessor while making room for Canon's latest DIGIC Accelerator image processor. By combining the raw image data with deep-learning datasets, the camera enhances subject tracking and recognition, pre-continuous capture, blackout-free shooting, video resolution, maximum recording time, and more. This comprehensive toolkit transforms the R5 Mark II into a powerful and efficient tool for professionals.
The camera's improved processing speeds also benefit its robust autofocus system, incorporating deep learning datasets into the Dual Pixel Intelligence AF. This advancement enhances subject recognition, tracking, and improves the Eye Control Focus feature introduced in the EOS R3. The Eye Control AF allows photographers to select the focus point simply by looking through the electronic viewfinder, and the R5 Mark II enhances this feature with improved camera optics and a revised line-of-sight detection algorithm. This integration with subject tracking and recognition algorithms ensures sharp focus on the intended subject.
Designed for handheld use, the R5 Mark II is lightweight and compact without compromising on performance. The coordinated control system enables optimal hand-shake correction, especially in low-light conditions, and reduces shake when recording videos. Additionally, the camera is equipped with a five-axis in-body image stabilizer (SIS) that corrects up to 8.5 stops of camera shake in the center of the frame and 7.5 stops at the edges, when used with compatible lenses. The Movie Digital IS combines optical and sensor-shift stabilization methods with digital IS to deliver smoother footage while in motion.
The R5 Mark II inherits many features from its sibling, the R5 C, which made it a favorite among video-stills shooters. It also incorporates key aspects of the Cinema EOS lineup, offering impressive capabilities for video recording. With the 45MP full-frame sensor, the R5 Mark II can internally record DCI 8K raw video at up to 60 fps, as well as 4K SRAW at the full sensor width, ensuring high-resolution video capture.
