Wait for the Canon R5 Mark II in 3-4 month

Give it 3 or 4 months when we see a R5 mk ii come out. A minor update like the R6mk ii but with the new accessory shoe and other tweeks. The R6 mk ii came out of nowhere, maybe only 2 months notice on the rumour sites. I'm holding my cash for now.

Yes… if you are going Canon I’d wait till Spring. The R5mk ii will have the resolution to crop and improved readout for sports. If you really have to buy now I’d go with the R6mk2 over the R5 as it will be faster, will hold its value should you upgrade later.

The R5 was a good at the time of release but I think it’s an unwise new purchase at the end of its product cycle.

Once details of the many improvements of the R5mk2 are known, there will be many R5 bodies up for sale…I’d really recommend a new R6mk2 or R5mk2 over a well used R5.

….update…I see you bought the R6mk2 and 70-200 F4… wise choice sir.😊
