Canon EOS R5 Mark II Owners Unite: Discuss and Post Photos!

Wild Alaska posted his review of the R5 II today. Thorough, detailed, and no-nonsense as usual.

I would advise against the E6NH- I inserted one ( with some difficulty, a very tight fit) and had a lot of trouble removing it. Aside from any power issues, they’re just too big!
All four of my Canon NH batteries worked fine for basic shooting. The Neewer batteries get an error message even though they show up as LP-6NH in my R5.
 
We did a little camping this weekend and I took the R5 II + 100-300. Here are a few grabs. I am very pleased with this camera. It performs like my R3 in many ways. Keeps up with Kenzie at any angle or speed just like the R3. Well done Canon.

Terrible lighting here as it was early morning and gray out. This fawn swam across the lake.

Here it is at 12800 ISO coming out of the lake in the campground.

Just ordered my R5 mkii to see what the fuss is about. Hopefully it'll live up to expectations after almost 3 years with the R3 which has been terrific.
I think you will really like it. Feels really close to the R3 which is all I use also. Much better than the R5, to me anyway.
 
Many thanks Rob. Super pics as always. (y) If I can get half as good I'll be happy.
My intention is to still use the R3 as my workhorse for football (soccer), but spread the workload with the R5 mkii and use it for specific sports such as motorcycle racing + cricket plus some wildlife if I get the chance.

I wonder if you can get one as they're now in short supply...good luck!
 
Ordered it on Saturday and received the tracking info yesterday, and its on it's way this morning for delivery on Thursday. Spare battery, EF-R adapter and memory card also sourced too from different suppliers.
Congrats on the acquisition. You're going to like it.

I have the R3 and R5II. I shoot a lot of soccer and was thinking the same thing about still using the R3 for photographing the game. Then I tried the predictive AI AF (Action priority) on the R5II. It is next level stuff for ball sports and much better than the R3. Here is a vid that Jared Polin did about his experience. The stuff he shows and starts to talk about at 8:15 is pretty much my experience between the 2 cameras. I think the AF in the R5II is without peer to be honest.

Haven't had a lot of time since I got the camera. Just moved, so still in a sea of boxes :) Here are a couple that I took while panning. It was a relatively slow pan, but I can't notice any rolling shutter effect on the tower. Much improved vs the R5.FoP-20240830-R5II-553A2691.jpgFoP-20240830-R5II-553A2711-Enhanced-NR.jpg
