How to think about this camera

Bottom line

Canon's current high-resolution flagship hybrid — a stacked 45MP sensor with 30fps and 8K60.

Standout strengths

  • 45MP stacked sensor: 30fps blackout-free, minimal rolling shutter
  • Eye Control AF plus AF that re-acquires through obstructions
  • Pre-capture buffers frames before the shutter press
  • 8K up to 60p plus 4K120; IBIS up to 8.5 stops

Real tradeoffs

  • Heat and record-time limits in the most demanding video modes
  • No cross-type AF (that stays exclusive to the R1)
  • Pro price, and CFexpress plus RF L glass add cost

Who it's for

  • High-resolution hybrid stills and video
  • Wildlife, sports, and action
  • Demanding video up to 8K RAW

Cross-shop: Nikon Z8, Sony A1 II, Sony A7R V, Canon R1

Which memory card for the Canon R5 Mark II Body?

Needs: CFexpress Type B — high-bitrate 8K/4K on Canon & Nikon pro bodies.

✓ Guaranteed genuine — authorized dealer
Amazon — convenient

⚠ Buy only if it says “Ships from & Sold by Amazon.” Third-party card listings are frequently counterfeit.

Most Type B bodies (Z8/Z9, R5, R6 III) pair this with a second SD UHS-II slot — a V90 SD card makes a cheaper backup.
