Canon has announced the EOS R5 Mark II mirrorless camera, a
versatile hybrid camera featuring a new 45MP sensor, improved AF,
faster performance, and upgraded video capabilities.
NEW
YORK, July 17, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- B&H is
excited to introduce the Canon EOS R5 Mark II mirrorless camera, a
versatile all-arounder featuring impressive upgrades to its sensor,
processor, AF system, and video capabilities. This is the
second-generation model in the R5 series, which is known for its
hybrid appeal among both photographers and videographers.
One of the biggest draws to the R5 system is its high-resolution
45MP sensor. The Canon R5 Mark II features an upgraded version of
this full-frame sensor with an all-new back-illuminated stacked
design that affords both high-speed readout and improved image
quality and clarity. Sensitivity up to ISO 51200 suits working in
low-light while Neural Network Noise Reduction keeps images clean
and vivid. In-Camera Upscaling can also be used to produce 179MP
stills and the sensor has also been tuned to suppress flicker for
photographing under fluorescents and LEDs.

One of the major improvements to this new model is the inclusion
of DIGIC Accelerator processing—similar to the processor featured
in the flagship EOS R1. Despite being a high-resolution camera, the
R5 Mark II is impressively quick—able to shoot at up to 30 fps
using an electronic shutter and featuring Canon's Pre-Continuous
Shooting mode, which can buffer up to 15 frames prior to fully
pressing the shutter—helping to ensure you never miss a fleeting
moment. The new stacked sensor design and DIGIC Accelerator
processing also provide tremendously fast readout speeds and the
ability to instantly perform image analysis and AE/AF detection.
The DIGIC Accelerator levels up the R5 Mark II's autofocus
performance to be nearly on par with the flagship, adding refined
subject detection and subject tracking capabilities for even
greater versatility.
As a true hybrid, the EOS R5 Mark II also excels as a video
camera and leverages its high-resolution sensor to produce up to
8K 60 raw video along with a new
4K SRAW recording mode for easier
file handling. Recording times up to 120 minutes are possible at
4K 60 settings and below or, if
paired with an optional grip, larger recording formats or longer
recording times are possible. Proxy recording is possible with
split saving to separate memory cards and there are a host of
in-camera custom picture profiles, including Canon Log2, 3, PQ, and
HLG.
Complementing the recording flexibility, the R5 Mark II has a
robust physical design that's also relatively compact and
lightweight for everyday use. The body has the same dust- and
water-resistant build as its predecessor, the EOS R5, but features
a new brighter and clearer electronic viewfinder taken from the EOS
R3. There's also a larger 3.2" rear vari-angle screen, dual
CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD memory card slots, and the R5 Mark
II is the one of the first EOS cameras with Wi-Fi 6E/Wi-Fi 6
wireless support.
Alongside the EOS R5 Mark II, Canon also announced three
different battery grips: the Battery Grip BG-R20, which accepts a
pair of batteries and includes vertical shooting controls; the
Battery Grip BG-R20EP, which adds a 2.5G Base-T ethernet port to
this design; and the Cooling Fan CF-R20EP, which adds a multi-speed
fan to help keep the camera cool and enable longer recording times
when working in challenging conditions.

Video Production:
Canon led the hybrid camera revolution with the 5D Mark II and
now the EOS R5 II is catapulting their mirrorless system into
a whole new world of cinema-quality video capture. Revamped
autofocus, souped-up processing, and enhanced image quality at up
to 8K resolution are all key to the
EOS R5 Mark II's mastery of video and should put it at the top of
the list of any serious filmmaker or videographer in search of an
ideal mirrorless video camera.
