Canon EOS R vs Panasonic Lumix S5 II
Every spec below is quoted from the makers' official pages — where a figure isn't published we say so rather than guess. Sizes are drawn at true relative scale from published dimensions, and the bag-fit row is computed against our measured bag catalog.
The 3 biggest published differences
- Resolution (MP): the R leads at Approx. 30.3 megapixels vs the S5 II's 24.20.
- Burst — mechanical: the S5 II leads at H: 9 fps (AFS/MF), 7 fps (AFC) with Live View (Mechanical / Electronic front curtain shutter) vs the R's Max. Approx. 8fps (Max. 5fps with AF Tracking).
- Weight (body): the R leads at 660 g vs the S5 II's 740 g.
