I don't think so and Marelux already announced a specific housing for the R5 ii so I think Backscatter just got an early housing. The video doesn't look strikingly better than the R5. Also - Dpreview released both of their studio scenes (stills and video). As this is the video thread: https://www.dpreview.com/articles/4207856702/canon-eos-r5-ii-video-detail-levels-impress Compared to the R5 HQ or 8k, I can't see a difference. The Stills comparison looks sharper in the R5ii than the R5, but I have never looked at an image from my R5 and been like "I wish that was sharper", except when I (lens/shutter speed/dome/etc) made it less sharp. For fun - on the video comparison, compare the R5 ii to the R6ii at 4k 60p. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that is just the VAT (Value Added Tax) in Europe I suppose. In Europe advertising the net price without VAT is illegal. In the USA it is normal to advertise prices without VAT. Also noteworthy: If you import directly from the US, you will be requested to pay customs (small ammount around 5%). + on top of both IMPORT TAX (which basically is the VAT). I have been there and had to learn it the hard way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreiFish Posted September 3 Share Posted September 3 (edited) Detailed review from Gerald Undone: + Dynamic range is class-leading in video (13.5 stops), better than A1 (12.9 stops) - Still no easy way to set white balance...

jpiovano Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 Just to sum up, so far and according to you, what is the main selling point of the R5m2 for underwater video compared to Z8, A1 or even R5c ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
