Canon has officially unveiled the EOS R5 Mark II, the highly anticipated successor to the original EOS R5 in Nepal. Designed for professionals, the Mark II comes packed with cutting-edge technology that elevates both its photography and video capabilities. From 8K RAW video recording to blazing-fast continuous shooting speeds, this camera is built to meet the demands of advanced creators across all fields. This article will discuss the latest Canon EOS R5 Mark II, including its expected price in Nepal.
Canon EOS R5 Mark II Overview
CMOS Sensor and Processor
With a new 45MP Full-Frame Back-Illuminated Stacked CMOS sensor and the powerful DIGIC Accelerator + DIGIC X image processor, the Canon EOS R5 Mark II delivers stunning image quality and ultra-fast performance. It features a broad ISO range of 100–51,200, expandable for low-light situations, and its new AI-powered noise reduction system ensures clean images even in challenging conditions.
Video
Video capabilities are equally impressive, offering internal 8K 60p RAW recording at 12-bit and 4K 120p for high-resolution, high-frame-rate content. Canon also introduced SRAW format for 4K 60p, offering a 50% reduction in file size while maintaining excellent quality. For creators looking to record long projects, proxy recording allows simultaneous low-resolution recording while capturing in RAW.
For stills, the EOS R5 Mark II achieves burst speeds up to 30 fps with the electronic shutter, and up to 7.5 fps with dual shooting mode. The camera also includes an advanced pre-continuous shooting feature that allows you to capture up to 15 frames before you press the shutter. Action photographers will also benefit from improved AI-based subject recognition for sports, while the camera’s dual Pixel Intelligent AF system ensures fast and precise autofocus for any subject.
Display, Interface & Autofocus
The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is equipped with a high-quality EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) featuring Eye Control AF and a fully articulating rear touchscreen for flexible shooting. Advanced display options include False Colour, Zebra Display, and a Waveform Monitor to assist with exposure and focus. Visual recording indicators such as a Red Frame and Tally Lamp further improve the user experience.
Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with Deep Learning and AI-based improvements enable precise subject detection, including people, animals, vehicles, and specific faces. The camera’s obstacle avoidance AF ensures that focus remains locked even when there are obstructions in the frame. Additionally, Eye Control AF allows users to move the autofocus point using just their eye movement, making focus adjustments seamless.
