Released in 2024 as the successor to Canon's original high-resolution flagship, the EOS R5 Mark II keeps the same 45-megapixel full-frame sensor resolution as its predecessor while adding a stacked-sensor design for substantially faster readout — a resolution-versus-speed tradeoff the original R5 didn't have to make, since stacked full-frame sensors at this megapixel count weren't yet common when it launched.

The R5 Mark II also revived Eye Control AF, a feature dating back to Canon's film-era EOS-3, which moves the active autofocus point based on where the photographer's eye is looking through the viewfinder rather than requiring a joystick or touchpad — a genuinely distinctive piece of interface engineering among current mirrorless cameras, and one Canon paired with meaningfully faster continuous shooting than the original R5 offered thanks to the new stacked sensor's readout speed.
Canon also gave the R5 Mark II a new Pre-Continuous shooting mode that buffers up to half a second of frames before the shutter is even fully pressed, a genuinely useful capture-the-moment safety net for unpredictable wildlife or sports action.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Eye Control AF on the R5 Mark II?
A revived feature from Canon's film-era EOS-3, letting the camera move its autofocus point based on where the photographer is actually looking through the viewfinder — a genuinely distinctive capability among modern mirrorless cameras, useful for quickly repositioning focus in fast-changing compositions without a joystick or touchpad.
