Great Video. This is the most comprehensive overview I have seen so far. I hope you can release some videos when you have your R5ii explaining your preferred settings when shooting video. I really struggled with the original R5 video codecs and would like to know more about the new codecs in the Mark ii. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
Thank David for this DETAILED review of Canon R5 II. It’s SAD that these days camera manufacturers justify their price increase by adding flashy but IMPRACTICAL features like upscaling jpg files to 180 megapixels! Why don’t Sony and Canon add ANTI THEFT feature & 32 BIT FLOAT internal audio recording to their cameras? That will help the majority of camera users who are solo shooters. Panasonic LUMIX GH7 already has 32 bit float. All the pros know audio is worth 50% of their videos. If the audio is bad, then the video is useless.
There are some things that I would also have wished for but lets keep it real, It's Canon, they gave a lot more here then I would have expected but also they didn't give everything that people have wished for like it always was. 😃
We have all the reviewers and influences to blame. Honestly they're usually not very intelligent, so they don't know how to rip them apart as they should.
@@EricLouisYoung you mean like I did with my R1 Video? But then there come the Canon Fanboys that tell me everything is fine how it is... And honestly, do you really think Canon Cares of what influencers say? I don't.
The 709 Canon profile in 10 bit is a game changer and exactly what I want alongside improved IBIS. Downsampled 4k and even 4k to 1080 downsampling is also incredible.
Excellent preview video with great information! Thank you. I'm curious if the R5 has a one-button custom white balance option in video or are we still having to switch back and forth to photo mode?
30 fps at 14 bit RAW with electronic shutter. The pre-capture is set at 1/2 second no matter what frame rate you are shooting at. I have pre-ordered with grip and extra batteries - upgrading from R5...
David it would be so nice to see for photographers like you put this camera to a REAL TEST doing outdoor work photographing Wildlife in especially Birds that is how you test this camera .
Excellent and informative video. I found no issues at all with the German menus as fully understand it would have been impossible to record everything in both languages. Keep up the brilliant work and please post more videos in english as your presntation style is superb and very honest.
It's not a Review, its a Preview, a Hand-On. I'm allowed to share but I have nothing noteworthy to share. There are no pictures I made at the Event that will tell you anything about the R5 II when you edit them.
If it helps you deciding 4K60 and 120 looks way better than on the R5. It has no need for C-Log Anymore and looks great. Yes I will miss the downsampling from my R5C as well but I hope 8K60 will do it for me when I need the 60FPS Material.
I had hoped for 4k 60fps. 8k 60fps raw will be huge files and I dont see many using it on such a camera. Also not sure about 4k 120fps quality. Maybe different codecs work better than others in 4k 120? I hope its good enough. No more ibis wobble and supposedly better AF is huge atleast.
4K 60 and 120 Quality is much improved since you don’t need Canon Log anymore to have 10-Bit. So noise is a lot better. But I need to further test later.
Well done review David. I’m curious for your opinion as to why Canon allowed European reviewers to have the cameras for a full test - but not in North America ?
Afaik all had the same time with the Cameras. I decided to give a complete overview what is also possible in this short time. Maybe I used it better then others but it’s not a full review at all! Like I said I had it for 13h at this Event.
@@davision-en It’s not a biggie - but it seems they (Americans) only had it for a few hours in Arizona. There seems to be a big point of contradicting statements out of different Canon official sources as to whether 4K high quality will go above 30 fps.
@@tennissir1986 as I said, I have several Press Releases and even Spec Sheets and a presentation in my Hands that are Confident and still have the Information about 4K 60 Fine HQ Mode oversampled from 8K, but the Cameras we had and the Press Release and Information on Release day say otherwise. I would really hope for it to come.
I don't feel the BSI is even needed. The original readout speed of the R5 was always fast enough to keep up with even very fast moving targets. I never had issues with it.
I just had the Camera for 13h and I recorded the Screen in German. If I would have had it longer I would have made this in english as well but I wasn't possible. I don't think it takes to much away from the Video.
No, I never record anything in Full HD and I strongly recommend most people to shoot 4K as well since it's in most cameras far superior. And for plattforms like youtube uploading anything less then 4K is pretty bad.
@@davision-en thanks for the reply, the only problem i need 1080 for long format events and events like 3 4 5 hours of video.. Its too much gb for 4k and i don't need the resolution.. I got r6ii and in 1080 its like a nokia 3310 sadly..
Hello, like everyone " oh no 4K 60p" well 120p isn't eather and personaly as not every framerate are oversampled I like canon move to display all in non oversampled mode, so better rolling shutter and you can match 120p with 24 or 100p with 25 shure it is not the best but for what I said I can'T complained. Because I have a B roll probleme of continuity on my Z8 and 60p oversampled well it overheat quick and I can't do a non oversample 24P roll so! So what you think about camera files name is yours, so don't bitch on that it is nice, few like you want there video to continu by the name of photos, and I think I know that it is better for the amera to separate the two. Have had bugs on my R3 that continuously got back to 959 and created many folders. At least here bugs wouldn't mess photo and video. And that's not because you forget to search all your files that the naming of the r5 II is bad mainly that you should care much, you can't stand to back up files on a large project or muchly a cheap product set that rely on multiple cameras, "Oh no I can't backup to many file structures for many cameras" just think of it seprate folders is better no matter what
I don't care about the same Naming Structure of the Photos, never mind, but saving every file into a different folder and a different subfolder depending on the codec you used will lead to missed files on Cards that can be easily overlooked and accidently formatted. If you have all your files in one Place, this will not happen.
@@davision-en yes "you" are not Wrong it is just your thruth and the nuance should be made, there are people that will find it usefull and you can't denie that
@@davision-en I would Say no but that's hardly the thruth, it is not a who's right here, it's a question if taste and way you like things be. Personnaly yes I prefer when videos are not in dcim, do I Say everyone is like me no. Si don't dismiss a thing that you don't understand
@@Guillaume9 I don't dismiss anything I just tell that it makes things more complicated. I use everything from consumer Canon's over R5 C, to SONY, Fujifilm, Panasonic and Nikon and R5 C and SONY where always the worst for me because of the Folder Structure for Video Files. Fuji, Pana, Nikon is so much easier. Why should I want another Folder and Subfolder for things I did shoot at the same day, same event, same project but just with a different codec, because for example I needed 4K 120 for one and 8K for the other. Not they are in different Folders, just WHY? Even SONY is easier since they are in the same folder at least, even if it is burried.
@@davision-en Uh, the R5 only came out 4 years ago though? LOLzzz for days. It's more expensive because they had to put a BSI sensor in it. Plain and simple. The DR of the original and noise were just fine, even at like 12,000 ISO, which is insane. The only good thing to come of this is a cheaper R5 mk1. Meanwhile the R1 is going to be completely ignored because it looks like junk for the price to most prosumers. No wonder Canon will go broke!
@@FraterABYA 4500€ from 4 years ago are 5600€ now but the Camera just costs 4800. And I also have a R6 II. The R6 II didn't had the same release price and just had 2 years of inflation not 4.
@@davision-en I got my R6II for the same price here in the states as the R6I cost, new. The initial price of both was $2,499.00 USD. Look it up. Canon didn't change their tune then. That wasn't even 2 years ago. It was in November of 2022. The "it's just inflation" thing is an excuse for Canon. It's the sensor. I promise. A $400-500 markup is a big deal, esp. because the original camera is so fantastic, and is now like around $2,200-2,500 USD. A far better deal for what it is.
Great Video. This is the most comprehensive overview I have seen so far. I hope you can release some videos when you have your R5ii explaining your preferred settings when shooting video. I really struggled with the original R5 video codecs and would like to know more about the new codecs in the Mark ii. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to put this video together.
This is the best overview video I have seen by far. Thank you. Seeing the IBIS wobble gone in wide video shots is a huge change. That is wonderful.

Great review! Thank you for the hardwork!! Are you allowed to share any of the RAW files, or is that a no-no from Canon for now?

My dream camera 📸
No oversampled 4k 60 from 8k is a big bummer. It is literally the only thing making me question my pre-order
If it helps you deciding 4K60 and 120 looks way better than on the R5. It has no need for C-Log Anymore and looks great. Yes I will miss the downsampling from my R5C as well but I hope 8K60 will do it for me when I need the 60FPS Material.
@@davision-en that does make me feel a bit better. Do you think it is something they will add later in firmware?
@@KindHappyLove I don't think so, If they decided to intentionally keep it out, it will be left out.
At 0:32 there's a phone in a holder connected to the camera....What is that? PLS
Thats called a Accsoon See connects your phone as monitor and recorder to your camera to record viewfinder and menus.
@@davision-en Thank you...

I think upgrading from r6 to just the r5 is going to be good enough
Going from R6 to R6 II is more of an upgrade then from R6 zu R5.
I’m not gonna upscale anything! 😎
Well done. Liked, and subscribed to encourage more videos in English.
Thanks for detailed review of the canon eos R5 mark ii I had subscribe to your chanel
Thank you! Thats not a Full Review, just an Overview and Preview of nothing more then 13h with the Camera. There is more to test and more to come.
Danke Dir! 📸📽️
Finally a useful video. Thx!
great review
Thank you!
Me too, I don’t like “creeps”. 😂
Creeps? 😃

Does the R5 II have multiple exposure final image in RAW like the R5? Because the R3 R6II R7 have it in Jpeg final image.
No it’s not in RAW afaik. But you just can merge them in post.
Some say it weighs 1.5lb and other say it weighs 1.65lb, a 0.15lb weight reduction would be a nice bonus lol
It is 6 or 8 gramms more then the R5. So what? I don't know anything about this idiot units.
❤
I don't feel the BSI is even needed. The original readout speed of the R5 was always fast enough to keep up with even very fast moving targets. I never had issues with it.
You mean stacked sensor? Since BSI is not for speed but for sensitivity and DR 😊
What is the point of speaking in English, if your camera settings are in a different language, it’s hard to follow.
I just had the Camera for 13h and I recorded the Screen in German. If I would have had it longer I would have made this in english as well but I wasn't possible. I don't think it takes to much away from the Video.
Does it have touch and drag AF?
Havn't tested it, but did the first R5 have it? Then it's properly there as well.
testing rolling shutter with break dance? really? try soccer, tennis or other really fast sports action. That's the only way to see how it performs
Have you even listened?! How could I if I was on a closed Event like this?
Im mostly interested in the FHD capabilities of the r5 ii. Can you please tell me if you recorded any videos in FHD?
No, I never record anything in Full HD and I strongly recommend most people to shoot 4K as well since it's in most cameras far superior. And for plattforms like youtube uploading anything less then 4K is pretty bad.
