      @michaels3003 4 месяца назад +1

      There are a lot of small improvements, like better focusing, faster FPS, a much brighter viewfinder display, etc. I don't know why people expect a major upgrade to an already very capable camera. And the company's resources are limited when compared to those of Sony. If all the main cameras and lenses were interchangeable, people could mix and match gear that best works for them. Instead, people need to marry, and possibly divorce, a camera + lenses maker.

    Biggest downside (for video) is the missing oversampled 4K60.
    Weird that you can record 8K60 in RAW - But not 4K60 oversampled in a smaller form factor.
    (Only way would be to record 8K60 at 2600Mbits and downsample the huge files it in post to 4K60.)
    Lets hope for a firmware update to fix / add that ...

    • @AustrianGeek
      @AustrianGeek 4 месяца назад +2

      ​@@mdhazeldine Yeah. The price differences are huge. Also the R6 Mk-II is a strong alternative (and it offers oversampled 4K60). Quite weird. I guess they skipped on it due to the limited recording time (8K60 C-RAW only reached 23 minutes according to Jordans tests - So it would have meant similar or even shorter REC times for oversampled 4K60 due to the higher processing power needed to oversample + save in a way more compressed form factor). Still - Weird to see. Even the R8 offers it ...

      ​@@p_adam19 Possibly yeah (coming again with a fan for more constant performance temperature wise). Though: At what price point (reg. the R5C II - The R5 II is already really expensive). Plus: You can get already oversampled 4K60 on the R6 II and the R8 for example. Its ust a weird decision (holding off a ton of video centric shooters). Even if 4K60 "Fine" would be heavily temperature limited - At least to have the option to switch to it is just a must have in 2024. You could still choose "Fine" or "Normal" depending on your rec time requirements ...

    I'm not really impressed with the R5 M2. I have an R6 Mark 2 and I have another 10fps in electronic shutter mode for some reason. C-Log 2 doesn't seem to be a good enough reason to upgrade.
    I'm not sure what was meant when the guy said that DNR is "baked in" to the RAW files. So, even if you shut the in camera DNR off, you still get DNR no matter what?
    Also, for the battery grip that has the fan, does the grip deplete the batter power faster? That would have been a great thing to mention.
    There are some nice things about the camera that weren't mentioned such as a full HDMI out port. Having a mini HDMI port on my R6 M2, a full size would be very welcomed.
    Anyway, this was an ok review video but I'm really sick of review videos that test the camera with 3 of the most boring styles of photography, wedding/wildlife/landscape. Something that tests the camera but also goes outside of the box would be nice.

    For video, it is not up to the mark compared to the Nikon Z8 -- especially for longer 8K 60p video recording. But for flip screen and lower weight, the Canon R5 Mark II can also be used as a Vlog camera. The Nikon Z8 is unable to do that.

    Wonder if the hot shoe cover from the R7 or R3 would fit? The R7 one works fine. I put a piece of gaffer tape over it so it doesn’t accidentally slide out (after one fell off somewhere in the field). Lifting a piece of gaffer tape is easier than trying to hold a button down while sliding it off.

    Great video guys, as always! Loved the outdoor scenes. You mentioned 4K 60 being line-skipped. Try SRAW. Seems to have a lot more detail. Maybe even over-sampled?

    • @thatjordandrake
      @thatjordandrake 4 месяца назад +1

      SRaw is line skipped, the only way to get very detailed 4K/60P is to shoot 8K/60P raw and convert in post.

      @@thatjordandrake Thanks Jordan, I appreciate the reply. I tested 4K SRAW against 4K Line-Skipped and 4K Fine. I’m not sure what’s going on in terms of technology, but SRAW looked nearly identical to 4K Fine. Definitely more detail than Line-Skipped. And it was true at both 29.97 and 59.94. I’d encourage you to take a second look. It surprised me. Considering everyone’s disappointment in the lack of a 4K 60 oversampled, full-frame mode, this may be a great solution.

    Now I don't feel quite so bad about how "used" my camera gear looks, although I ended up glueing my 200-600 together after I took a fall with it. No one is going to be able to work on that lens again :). Love the FJ and really hope my vehicle will still be running after 800000 plus km.
    First review I have seen of a production R5 II and it is good to see everything that I wanted out of it seems to be working well. Still going to wait a few months to see if there are issues that come up around the camera crashing like my R5 did so often. If I don't hear any complaints then my savings may go down and I will finally be able to use my Canon lenses again :)

    Super recording and material! Thank you for the story about Canon and the review of the R5 Mark II. The R5 Mark II is already on its way to me. I am mainly afraid of the ventilation holes when taking pictures in the forest, on meadows, on the beach, etc. (small bugs, midges, sand, dust and other dirt). What can you say about it? What is your opinion? Nikon Z9/Z8 and Sony A1/A7xxx / A9xxx do not have such holes.

    Nice to see you using the Canon RF 800 mm F11 lens on the new Canon R5 Mark II.
    Just had this lens out yesterday on my R6 Mark II for some wild fowl photography.
    Also you used the RF 24-105 mm F4 lens - which is an affordable lens.
    Don't feel too cheap using these RF lenses compared with some of those very expensive RF lenses.

    Not wanting to pick nits but for heat tests it would be nice if you listed the card/cards used. Also did the camera hit it's thermal limits or was it the card?
    For those who don't know some older cards generate more heat than a blast furnace. OTOH modern current gen CFe cards should run much cooler.

    Great review! I'd love to see something more comprehensive, but I like this format. Maybe do this again with a sports photographer, portrait photographer, street...
    I'm considering my 1st mirrorless cam, and the R5 ii will likely be it. My only hang up is the limited display/monitor. Making it free tilting seems like low hanging fruit. So I'm somewhat considering waiting to see what Sony does in the next few months. A Sony A7R vi with a stacked sensor and improved video capabilities would be a strong consideration.

    I have the camera now and getting the hotshoe cover off is no exaggeration! I predict that the plastic pin that is holding it will break off pretty soon if you take it on and off a lot. BTW, on a different note, when the video switched to Jordan the graded C-log2 footage looked great! 👍🏻

    This camera is obviously better in most ways than the R5, but the dodgy hot shoe cover and the omission of oversampled 4k60 are odd fails. When you consider that used R5s are selling for practically half the price of this camera and still beat it in some respects, it's not the most compelling upgrade, at least until used ones come on the market in a year or three.

    • @michaels3003
      @michaels3003 4 месяца назад

      Unfortunately, I don't have access to this camera, but somebody posted a video showing that if you squeeze the sides of the cover and press the button, the cover comes off. I've also seen comments about R6 that it was only difficult to remove the cover a few times in the beginning.

    • @michaels3003
      @michaels3003 4 месяца назад

      It may be that the image processor overheated quickly in the 8k/60 mode or it could not handle it and a new generation is needed. Or maybe an updated C version is coming with this video mode. Unfortunately, companies are very "non-transparent" about their decisions.

    Just bought one for £4,005 on Panamoz, with Battery grip, extra Canon battery, CFExpress-B card 128gb, and a control ring adapter! Not sure when it'll be here but it may take nearly 2 weeks.
    I was stuck between the R5 Mark II and the R1. Don't get me wrong, the R1 seems to be a great camera, where its 24mp sensors has its strength especially in low light. However, I do wildlife photography and landscapes are something I also want to do, and having smaller 'pixels' on sensor apparently helps with dynamic range at the lower ISOs. It also cost a bit less. The R5 Mark II has slightly more appealing video capability too, which makes sense due to its higher MP sensor.

    Awesome video. I picked up an R5 Mark II for my photography and RUclips work. Love the camera but to be honest the money it cost plus the additional batteries I’ll have to buy puts this camera in the not worth the upgrade column. It’s not a significant upgrade for a portrait and event shooter like me.

    You commented that the electronic shutter readout speed was "around 1/60th of a second". That's 14ms, which doesn't sound particularly fast. In early reviews I have been hearing numbers like 6.25ms? Did you mispeak or were multiple earlier sources incorrect? I would think that 1/60 sec, an entire wingbeat of a small hummingbird, would be very noticable?

    • @niccollsvideo
