What Buyers Say

Canon EOS R R5 Mark II

78 out of 100 high confidence 170 reviews

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is widely praised for its exceptional autofocus, especially for sports and wildlife, with many users noting a significant upgrade from the original R5. However, several reviewers report overheating issues during extended use, particularly in warm conditions, and some express disappointment with high ISO noise and occasional freezing or autofocus failures. The camera's pre-capture and eye-tracking features are game-changers for action photography, but the need for new LP-E6P batteries to unlock full functionality is a common frustration.
