Canon EOS R5 vs Canon EOS R5 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
- Burst — electronic: the R5 II leads at 30 FPS with electronic shutter (Custom options 30 / 20 / 15 / 12 / 10 / 7.5 / 5 / 3 / 2 / 1 FPS) vs the R5's 20 fps (electronic shutter).
- Battery life (CIPA): the R5 II leads at With LCD Approx. 630 shots (at 23°C); With Viewfinder Approx. 340 shots (at 23°C) vs the R5's 490 shots (LCD) / 320 shots (EVF), CIPA standard, at 23°C.
- In-body stabilisation: the R5 II leads at Yes, up to 8.5-Stops advantage at the center and 7.5-stops peripheral depending on the lens used vs the R5's 8 stops.
