Canon EOS R5 Mark II + RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS

Canon EOS R5 II - The camera that sets new standards

The Canon EOS R5 II marks a milestone in the world of photography and videography. After many years of intensive development, Canon is launching a camera that will delight ambitious amateur photographers and professionals alike. It sets new standards in terms of performance, image quality and innovative technology and could revolutionize the way photographers work.

Outstanding design and intuitive operation

The body of the EOS R5 II is ergonomic and robust as usual, but with a few well thought-out optimizations. A separate mode lever for photo and video, the redesigned joystick and the strategically placed ventilation slots ensure even better user-friendliness and cooling. These details make handling comfortable and precise even in stressful situations such as sports or fashion shoots.

A viewfinder in a class of its own with eye tracking

The electronic viewfinder (EVF) of the R5 II not only stands out for its size, but also for its revolutionary eye tracking, which precisely controls the autofocus - directly with the photographer's gaze. Whether with or without glasses, the system works reliably and allows a lightning-fast response time. This gives professionals unprecedented control over their shots.

45 megapixel stacked BSI sensor for outstanding image quality

The brand new 45 megapixel sensor offers impressive sharpness and detail, even in difficult lighting conditions. Thanks to its backside exposure and stacked design, it significantly improves low-light performance. The combination of the new DIGIC X and DIGIC Accelerator processor ensures fast image processing, allowing the camera to shoot at up to 30 frames per second. This technology also minimizes the rolling shutter effect, which is a decisive advantage especially when shooting action. The sensor of the Canon EOS R5 II is also held in position by an advanced IBIS (image stabilizer), which enables image stabilization of 8.5 exposure stops.

Intelligent learning autofocus

Canon is setting new standards in autofocus with the EOS R5 II. With the help of deep learning technology, the camera analyzes motion sequences and can even predict them. The innovative "Action Priority" feature not only recognizes the players in a sports game, for example, but also the ball, and adjusts the focus accordingly. This pioneering technology makes the EOS R5 II one of the best cameras for dynamic subjects.

AI-supported functions and computational photography

Canon is taking the first steps towards computational photography with the EOS R5 II. Features such as upscaling, AI noise reduction and the ability to change and upscale image sections directly in the camera show how strongly Canon is focusing on AI-supported image enhancement. Wildlife and sports photographers in particular will benefit from these innovations, which offer more flexibility and improved image quality.

Fast and flexible connection options

In modern photography, it's not just the quality of the shot that counts, but also the efficiency with which the content is shared. The EOS R5 II offers flexible and powerful connectivity options, especially when the pressure is on to deliver results quickly. Photos and videos can be transferred wirelessly at lightning speed via WIFI 6E, or alternatively via USB cable for even more stability. For those who require even higher transfer speeds, the optional battery grip enables a wired connection via 2.5G BASE-T Ethernet. This ensures that work can be transmitted to customers reliably and at maximum speed at all times - ideal for professional environments where every second counts.

Professional video recording without compromise

The Canon EOS R5 II not only impresses as a photo camera, but also as a video camera. With the ability to record 8K RAW video at 60p (Light Raw) and a full-size HDMI connection, it is ideal for professional videographers. Thanks to optimized cooling, up to two hours of uninterrupted 8K filming is now possible. Another highlight: during video recording, continuous photos & Full HD video recordings (which can be used as a proxy) can be taken simultaneously, a real hybrid feature for more efficient work.

The special coating:
DS stands for Defocus Smoothing and the RF 85mm F1.2 L USM DS is the first Lens from Canon to feature this special vapor deposition coating technology that creates a smoother/softer bokeh.

The DS effect is NOT something that the user can turn on and off, but rather it creates a specific effect depending on the aperture number selected.

The ultimate portrait lens that captures details like never before
The RF 85mm F1.2L USM offers outstanding optical performance thanks to its outstanding lens design and the use of Canon's groundbreaking lens technologies, making it the ultimate next-generation portrait lens.

Portraits
With an attractive background blur and exceptional sharpness, portraits take on even more detail and a whole new dimension. This is thanks to the advanced lens technologies, modern coatings and RF bayonet technology.

Street photography
You can take discreet and controlled pictures on the street. Thanks to the fast focusing by the powerful USM motor, which ensures that the Lens focuses on the subject, you won't miss a moment.

Low-light
Even when the sun has long since set, you can continue taking pictures - thanks to the enormous speed of 1:1.2, you can capture every detail with excellent sharpness from the center of the image to the edge.

The perfect focal length for portraits
The RF 85 mm F1.2L USM has the ideal short telephoto focal length for flattering portraits and delivers atmospheric and detailed results with a pleasant perspective and virtually no distortion.

Enormous speed and first-class optical precision
With its high speed of 1:1.2, the Lens offers first-class low-light properties and enormous sharpness as well as pleasant bokeh without sacrificing image quality.

Modern lenses and coatings
The lens has been designed with BR (Blue Spectrum Refractive) optics to prevent chromatic aberrations, and an aspherically ground lens prevents spherical aberrations that could be caused by the extreme aperture.

Quality of the L series with weather protection
The quality of the lens construction takes the L series to a whole new level. The weather protection prevents the ingress of dust and splash water and the fluorine coating on the front and rear lenses protects them from dirt and scratches.

Fast USM motor and Lens control ring
The RF bayonet of the RF 85mm F1.2L USM enables tremendous focusing speed, and the Lens Control Ring can be assigned specific functions.

About the RF bayonet
The EOS R system and RF bayonet, introduced in September 2018, expand the possibilities of the proven EOS system. This development from Canon is in line with technological advances and end-user feedback, and also takes into account the future technical and creative needs of photographers and filmmakers. The EOS R system combines the best of the EOS system with even more performance, more design options and creative flexibility. The RF bayonet, also introduced in September 2018, enables unprecedented new optical designs that allow large lens elements to be placed as close as possible to the sensor, favoring the incidence of light on the sensor. The RF bayonet improves communication and information transfer between the Lens and the camera body - helping to achieve the world's fastest autofocus speed in a full-frame mirrorless camera systemⁱⁱ camera system. The short flange focal distance of the bayonet of 20 mm and the large bayonet diameter of 54 mm offer greater scope for the development of new lenses. The new lens series creates excellent shooting opportunities for all users of the EOS R system, regardless of their requirements - from stills and video to landscapes or weddings.
