EOS R5 Mark II

Sports/adventure videographer/dp here. Often run Canon R5IIs (previously R5, R5C) in difficult environments (heavy snow primarily). The R5II stands out as having pretty great dynamic range for a MILC style body, internal 12bit raw (no need for external recorders adding bulk and compromising sealing)

Depends. Canon has their Lens Ecosystem locked off.If you need open gate Canon is your pick.If you want a two in one cam you could get the R5ii or the just released A7RVI.Both will serve all your needs and handle everything you described in your situation.I personally would probably go for the R6iii

I agree.. I upgraded to R5M2 from R6 (mainly for the extra resolution for birding). But already picked up a S5M2X and S9 before the upgrade (for video and to have a lighter everyday camera). By now, for another body or upgrade (from S5M2X) I would rather want a S1M2 than a R6M3 or C50. Canon is nice

If you don't already follow him, Jared Polin (froknowsphoto) is a Philly based photographer who often takes pics of the Phillies, he might have some good insights on his YouTube channel (and he is highly entertaining). He is mostly a Canon shooter, although I think he uses R5II (twice the megapixels

Mirrorless cameras like the Canon R5mk2 (which I own) and its counterpart models from Sony and Nikon overheat when shooting 8K after like 40-50 minutes of continuous usage unless you buy the cooling grip (which adds bulks). 8K is a punishing resolution to record at. The only mirrorless and cinema ca

Best cams Ursa Cine - will be $30,000+ when you include extras. For $8k you can def get something but but its not comparable to the best. My advice is to not go below 8k resolution (4k per eye) if you can help it. I recommend the Canon EOS R5 Mark II + Dual Fisheye Lens. Should be able to get that w

If you’re claiming “brands can tell the difference between 4K and 1080 portrait video” then surely they can also tell the difference between more professional 4K video shot using a mirrorless on a gimbal vs the Luna Ultra (because I can, the Luna is a big step up from the Ace Pro 2 video but it isn’

Honestly. Accurate. I will never understand how R5m2 is considered “hybrid”. I was one step far away from ordering C50 and considered R6m3 for 20mins but nah… One thing I hate about Canon was they play games too much with customers. How come $3,899 worth of “hybrid camera” in 2025 cannot do 4k 60p o

I spend 3-4 months out of every year in SEA. I base out of Thailand, and frequently travel through Vietnam, Cambodia, and Laos. I have been taking out a Canon R5II, a Pocket 3, and an Action 4/5. Something you'll have to consider is that September still sees a lot of showers through the region... pr

I used to be very envious of Sony's superior video performance until the R6mk3, R1 and R5mk2 closed the gap considerably. As an amateur birder (and wildlife photographer) I've never been envious of Sony's performance in this field. I'm not saying they're bad, but some of the best birders and nature
