Canon EOS R5 Mark II vs Canon EOS R6 Mark 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 R5 II leads at Approx. 45 megapixels vs the R6 II's 24.2.
- EVF resolution: the R5 II leads at 5.76 Million dots (1600x1200) vs the R6 II's 3.69 million dots.
- Burst — electronic: the R6 II leads at 40 fps (electronic shutter); RAW Burst 30 fps vs the R5 II's 30 FPS with electronic shutter (Custom options 30 / 20 / 15 / 12 / 10 / 7.5 / 5 / 3 / 2 / 1 FPS).
