The Canon EOS R5 Mark II has one hell of an act to follow. The original R5 was the best camera that Canon has ever made – in fact it was so good that, despite being launched back in 2020, it's still better than almost any camera on the market today. Let's be honest: the Z8 and Z9 might be Nikon's flagships, but in terms of specs they're basically on par with the OG R5.
Beating its four-year-older brother is no mean feat, then, but the Canon EOS R5 Mark II manages more than just being an obligatory update: this is a truly transformative camera that shifts all the goalposts (having tracked them with its new ball-detecting autofocus) and proceeds to score thunderous goal after thunderous goal.
