Panasonic S5 Mark II vs Canon R6 Mark II – Both of these cameras features the same sensor resolution, but as usual, the Canon R6 Mark II features advanced AI AF for fast-tracking and the Jpeg burst speed of the R6 Mark II touches the 40fps mark. Although the buffer capacity of the Canon is just half of the Panasonic S5 Mark II and u can store up to a Max of 70-100 image files in a single burst with Canon.
1. Senor and AF System
We are comparing the two specifications. Panasonic S5 mark II camera features a newly developed 24MP Sensor with Phase detect AF points and support of DFD still there. The Max burst speed of the Panasonic S5 Mark II is 30fps with an electronic shutter and the expandable ISO range is 50-204800. Since it’s Panasonic’s first full-frame camera so, we are not expecting blazing-fast AF performance like Canon R6 Mark II, but at least we will get a more accurate and fast AF system compared to its predecessor the Panasonic S5.

2. Open Gate 6k 60FPS
Both of the camer able to record 6k video, but only Canon R6 Mark II with a faster image processor is able to shoot 6k 60fps and the Panasonic S5 Mark II remains limited to 6k 30fps in 4:2:2 10bit mode. The only issue with Canon is the output the 6K output is available only via the HDMI port.
3. Crippled 4k 60fps? 1.5X Crop in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 Mark II Camera is able to shoot up to 4k 60fps uncropped which isn’t possible with the Panasonic S5 mark II camera since it’s limited to 4k 1.5x crop. So, if you like to shoot 4k HQ some music videos, or anything fast u would like to shoot to 4k 60fps.
4. Cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II
Canon R6 mark II camera doesn’t overheat while shooting 4k 24 or 30 fps, but while you are shooting 4k @ 60fps you may face some overheating issues while shooting in hot and humid conditions. At the same time, the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera features an advanced heat sink unit and cooling vents. but, at the same time, 4k 60fps is heavily crippled and the camera doesn’t do full sensor readout while shooting 4k 60fps. So, yes in a way we do have some added advantages of cooling vents in Panasonic S5 Mark II, but they are not that useful due to cropped 4k 60fps, better to get R6 Mark II if ur interested in recording uncropped oversampled 4k.
5. DUAL NATIVE ISO
Dual native ISO isn’t a new feature in Panasonic S5 Mark II, even the Panasonic S5 was having from ISO 640 – 4000 in VLOG. I don’t know the exact reason why these camera makers (Sony and Canon) hide the Dual Native ISOs in their Pro Cameras like Canon R6 Mark II or A74, btw the sensor of both the camera uses dual Native ISO circuits, and during HIGH ISO test it’s visible to the Dual Native ISO high gain and low gain circuit working on the backend of the camera. But, in the end, the open Dual Native ISO Menu inside the Panasonic S5 Mark II camera makes it more usable for low-light situations.
6. Timecode | Waveforms | Live LUTS | Vectorscope
These are some essential ingredients for professional cinematographers out there, all these are only available in Panasonic S5 Mark II Camera and not in Canon R6 Mark II.

The Canon R6 Mark II Camera announced by Canon with the same sensor as we have seen in the Canon EOS R3 camera and the image processor is also the same, so those who were not able to buy the Canon EOS R3 camera due to its high price, they can have the R6 Mark II. Or it’s better to say finally we have a budget Canon EOS R3 Model in front of us.
The Canon R6 Mark II features 4779 selectable AF points, the AF point further divided into AF Zones to make the user selection process easy. Using the same deep-learning AI technology we applied to the EOS R5, R6, and Canon EOS R3, the Canon EOS R6 AF performance is of the next level. The camera recognizes people, animals, and now motorsport vehicles. Hundreds of thousands of images from different photographers and agencies have been used to teach the camera exactly what the real world looks like – and how it moves. Subject tracking is now supported for all AF area settings.
The Camera records oversampled high-quality 4K 60FPS video, and with an advanced heat sink unit, the camera never disappoints you despite the adverse weather conditions you have. Professional content creators or Cinematographers can also enjoy the in-built 7.5 Stops of IBIS and when paired with Lenses like 24mm IS STM and 35mm IS STM, you will get a total IS of 8 Stops.
Canon R6 is a perfect camera for sports, landscape, wedding photographers, cinematographers, and content creators.

The Canon R6 will use the same stacked sensor we have seen in the Canon R3 camera. The camera announcement is expected first half of 2023.
Since they are testing R6 Mark II prototypes in Sep of 2022 as per rumors we have, The official announcement of the camera may happen between Feb to June of 2023., if everything goes on schedule inside Canon. more here
We will post an update as soon as more details become available to us
Canon is planning to introduce a Canon RF Mount Mirrorless camera with cooling vents. But what will happen when the dust will clog this fan inside our camera? since it’s very difficult to disassemble and clean, a clogged motor of the fan will generate more heat when it’s unable to run resulting negative impact on the cooling system of the camera.
Samsung phones were earlier using liquid cooling tech for S-series smartphones but returned to vapor chamber cooling, S22 ultra uses vapor chamber cooling tech, and for s22 ultra Samsung also developed a new thermal paste Gel-TIM which transfers heat 3.5X faster than the conventional paste. they should approach smartphone makers to make a better internal cooling unit.
Patent Details
The front opening of the vents of the camera.
Rear side vents for air intake
Image of the fan inside the camera body.
Canon already has a solution for cinema cameras like Canon R5c, but it looks like the above vent are more compact and designed for upcoming full-frame mirrorless cameras like the Canon R6 Mark II or Canon R5 Mark II.
The Canon way of cooling
Canon R5C does have a cooling fan inside, similar to the patent above
But, again we have no access to the fan health, and once it gets nasty we have to go to the nearest canon service center.
The Fuji way of cooling a camera
Fuji knows they have very limited service centers around the globe, so they have taken the best path.
The Best way to cool down a camera, add an external fan like Fuji. So, we can replace the fan if the fan gets damaged due to dust or water.
According to the latest rumors, the Canon R6 Mark II camera uses 24MP Full-Frame Stacked BSI CMOS Sensor. The same sensor we have seen in the Canon R6 camera. The prototypes of the camera are already in the test. (before putting a new camera on the production line camera makers do test several prototypes). So, finally, we will see a budget Canon R3 camera in near future.
Both Canon R5 and Canon R6 cameras were announced on 09 July 2020, it’s a bit too early to expect a Canon R6 Mark II camera. As far as I know, Canon. In the DSLR era, they generally keep approx 3 to 4 years of gap in between the updates of full-frame bodies.
Canon Full Frame DSLR camera update pattern
Canon 6D – 17 September 2012
Canon 6D Mark II – 29-Jun-2017
Canon 5D Mark III – 02-Mar-2012
Canon 5D Mark IV – 25 August 2016
Canon R5 and Canon R6 – 09 July 2020
Canon R5 and Canon R6 – Sometime in 2024 (as per the previous update pattern of the DSLR era)
Canon is more aggressive now?
After the announcement of the Canon R10 and Canon R7, it’s very clear that Canon has now become more aggressive and they are putting up the best core specs they have in the possible price range for their users, obviously to eat the Mirrorless market share.
Canon R6 Mark II Update will arrive, but when…
It looks like Canon EOS R3 sales have reached their max limit, Canon R3 was announced back on Sep 2021. The shipping of the camera started on November 26, 2021. Now, Canon wants to increase its pro-consumer base more (as usual), and those who were unable to purchase the Canon R3 camera due to its Price will get an option in the form of the Canon R6 mark II.
Since they are testing R6 Mark II prototypes in Sep of 2022 as per rumors we have, The official announcement of the camera may happen between Feb to June of 2023., if everything goes on schedule inside Canon.
We will post an update if we get the leaked images and specifications of the upcoming Canon R6 Mark II camera.
