Canon announced the R5 Mark II camera today. The camera features a 45-megapixel stacked CMOS sensor and a continuous shooting speed of 30 frames per second with the help of an in-body image stabilization (IBIS) sensor. The readout speed of the new R5 Mark II camera has been significantly improved, and now it’s possible to capture almost rolling shutter-free images at up to 30 frames per second.
On the video side, we can record videos up to 8K at 60 frames per second. With a new battery grip specifically designed with cooling vents, you can shoot 8K videos as well as 4K videos until your card runs out.
