Pulled the trigger on the R5ii. Would love to see a dedicated video on how you have it set up. I thought I read that you can now export configurations. Actually, I think I saw someone was selling their setup.
Yes, it can export and import settings, which is nice! I should export mine for backup, if nothing else. I'm definitely planning a setup video--not an exhaustive one, menu by menu, but at least the major tweaks I've made to get it where I like it! I think you'll be pleased! Don't expect a jump in image quality compared to the original R5--the new sensor is about speed rather than lower noise or higher dynamic range. But I am definitely finding it more flexible and powerful than the R5.
Thanks for the comparison Kelly. I currently have an R5 and an R7. I just spent a bit of time using the R7 while my daughter used the R5. We were in North Carolina looking for some warblers and my daughter loves the R5. I just can't get used to the button layout so my plan is to sell the R7 and get the R5ii. The only real advantage I see is the crop factor, but since I really need 2 of them for myself and my daughter, I am having a tough time getting rid of the R5. So if anyone is looking for an R7 with a transferrable Canon CarePak warranty, hit me up. :-)
They definitely made some different control choices on the R7, I know what you mean! I'm hanging on to mine because the crop factor does come in handy sometimes, and it's a nice small and light choice for quick trips sometimes. I'm very interested in seeing what the R7II might offer, whenever Canon get around to that refresh.
I realized I should have added a section to cover my final thoughts on the R5II vs R7 on this outing, so I filmed that and spliced it in. RUclips sadly doesn't have a way to simply replace an existing video, so I had to re-upload as a new one. So this is the same video, with a couple extra minutes of Future Kelly added in near the end. :)
@@wanderland_xyzThanks for the confirmation, I did think that you’d added the extra bit in at the end and posted another comment but deleted it as I didn’t know if that what the case!! You managed to get some spectacular bird photos and a lot of these birds are alien to me as they do not appear in the UK so very interesting to see them as well. I can see you using the R5 mk2 more and more and the R7 only being used on the odd occasion at this rate, I suspect the image quality combined with the sharper AF is quite adictive 😊
@@666JGNotts The R7 definitely still has a place for me, the crop factor is often very useful. Just trying to get comfortable with the new bells and whistles of the R5II--but yes, the upgraded autofocus is pretty awesome! I'll be watching closely for the R7 Mark II, if it adds the improved AF and pre-capture it's going to be amazing too.

No way can you compare the r7 sensor to the r5 full frame with cfexpress cards,the r7 is a quarter the price.
Is this the same video that was posted roughly a week ago? That one seems to have disappeared so I’m confused 😊
