Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera Body

Totally New Image Sensor: Even though the pixel count is the same as the EOS R5 camera body, this is a completely new 45MP sensor design with a redesigned architecture. This new full-frame sensor is stacked and back-illuminated allowing for incredible electronic shutter performance of 30 fps in RAW, JPEG, or HEIF format.

DIGIC Accelerator: The DIGIC Accelerator processor is a completely new front-engine processor, developed by Canon to supplement the powerful DIGIC X image processor. It handles the processing that makes many of the new features of this camera possible, allowing the DIGIC X processor to focus solely on image processing. Together, they combine for high-precision focusing with incredible speed and high image quality.

Faster Readout Speed: The faster readout speed of the stacked, back-illuminated full-frame CMOS sensor in the EOS R5 Mark II has reduced the rolling shutter distortion by about 60% compared to the previous EOS R5 camera body. From high-speed sports photography to impressive video creation, this camera offers superb performance.

Dual Pixel Intelligent AF: The autofocus has been significantly upgraded with subject tracking capabilities, which are shared with the flagship EOS R1. The new system can maintain focus even when the subject is briefly obscured, and it features Eye Control AF for faster autofocus area positioning. Simply look where you want to focus and the AF area will move accordingly.

Video for Creatives: The EOS R5 Mark II offers 8K resolution and frame rates up to 23.98p in Full-HD and DCI 2K resolutions. It also supports up to 119.8p at 4K resolution.
