Advanced High-Performance AF and Video Capabilities, Full-Frame Mirrorless Camera 'EOS R5 Mark II' | Canon
Canon Inc. has announced the full-frame mirrorless camera 'EOS R5 Mark II' for professionals and high amateurs. The release is scheduled for late August 2024. The price for the body is 654,500 yen (including tax).
This model features the newly developed engine system 'Accelerated Capture', which enables high-speed analysis and shooting, and utilizes deep learning technology, also to be included in the flagship model 'EOS R1' (scheduled for release in November 2024).
The successor to the 'EOS R5' released in July 2020, it significantly enhances still and video performance, enabling diverse visual expressions with a full-frame mirrorless camera. It employs a CMOS sensor with approximately 45 million effective pixels.
45 Million Pixel Full-Frame Back-Illuminated Stacked CMOS Sensor and 'Neural Network Noise Reduction' for High Image Quality
The image sensor and image processing engine have been revamped from the previous model, adopting the same configuration as the flagship model 'EOS R1' announced on the same day.
The newly developed full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor achieves high resolution with approximately 45 million effective pixels and high sensitivity with a maximum ISO51200 (for still photography), ensuring high-quality still photography.
Additionally, the 'Neural Network Noise Reduction' function utilizing deep learning technology processes captured images within the camera, reducing noise in images taken at high ISO sensitivity, such as night scenes, to produce high-quality images.

Realization of High-Precision AF and High-Speed Continuous Shooting
The fusion of the new engine system 'Accelerated Capture' and deep learning technology achieves excellent tracking performance. Enhanced tracking capabilities allow continuous tracking of subjects even in scenes where subjects intersect, and features such as 'Action Priority' enable persistent tracking and shooting of targeted subjects.
Furthermore, with the electronic shutter, it achieves up to approximately 30 frames per second while significantly reducing rolling shutter distortion compared to the 'EOS R5'. Additionally, the 'Pre-Continuous Shooting' function allows continuous shooting up to approximately 15 frames back from the moment the shutter button is pressed, ensuring the capture of decisive moments.
