EOS R5 Mark II

For what it’s worth I’m a full time videographer (not cinematographer) working closely with brands such as Amazon, Uber, Honda, Tourism Australia etc. My daily is the pocket 4K, original, with the ultra speed booster for a full frame circle and I have to say the new Nikon ZR, canon R5II etc are clos

Depends. Canon has their Lens Ecosystem locked off.If you need open gate Canon is your pick.If you want a two in one cam you could get the R5ii or the just released A7RVI.Both will serve all your needs and handle everything you described in your situation.I personally would probably go for the R6iii

Canon R5/R5m2- not an astro high speed camera

I own a Canon R5 Mark II as my work camera and a Ricoh GR IIIx as my "fun" camera. The GR IIIx is essentially a fancy point-and-shoot with a collapsible lens and I've been able to bring it inside at times, wouldn't risk it with the R5m2 because it'll be an instant no. Generally if the camera isn't e

Honestly. Accurate. I will never understand how R5m2 is considered “hybrid”. I was one step far away from ordering C50 and considered R6m3 for 20mins but nah… One thing I hate about Canon was they play games too much with customers. How come $3,899 worth of “hybrid camera” in 2025 cannot do 4k 60p o

No manufacturer warranty for one (you get one year from canon refurb) Lots of horror stories with electronics from amazon in general. For a few bucks more you can get a lot more piece of mind https://www.usa.canon.com/shop/p/refurbsished-eos-r5-mark-ii-body?cjdata=MXxOfDB8WXww&type=Refurbished&cjeve

So Normally I would say don't bother. Sandisk is about as reliable as any of the other Major brands. Switching wouldn't fix anything, sometimes you just get a bad card. THAT SAID, while I don't think the CFExpress are yet mentioned, that specific camera and their latest cards have been having issues

"left canon, right Lumix" This is just mind blowing. To all who purchased the(I purchased S5iiX) S5ii or S5iiX, you are really smart. The feature of being able to do 96MP raw file is what closed it for me. Just use that tripod you purchased years ago, the raw files are insane in detail. I purchased

The Canon R5 is currently more affordable than the R6 mark iii at $2,599 by $200. I don't think the R5 mark ii is necessary. This is within your budget. I think it's worth it to go out of budget for the Canon RF 85mm F1.2 L USM Ds. Good glass is a business expense that's going to be the highest cost

I shoot volleyball in the summer and we have a couple of Sony shooters use it. As a Canon shooter I can't say that I am not jealous. I use the Sigma 50-100mm 1.8 in crop mode on my R5 Mark II for a lot of events, but I don't use it for volleyball because 80mm on the short end is too tight and it zoo
