Description
Canon R5 Mk II Hybrid Camera (Full Frame | 45MP Stacked Sensor)
Next-generation hybrid. Stills and cinema in one system.
The R5 Mk II takes the proven R5 platform and pushes it into high-speed, cinema-capable territory. With a stacked sensor, advanced autofocus, and major video upgrades, it’s designed for productions that move between stills and motion without compromise.
This is where photography and filmmaking meet.
⸻
Why it’s here
- 45MP full frame stacked sensor
- Up to 30fps continuous shooting with blackout-free viewfinder
- Advanced autofocus with eye-controlled subject selection
- Up to 8.5 stops in-body stabilisation
- Pre-burst capture for unpredictable moments
- 8K RAW video up to 60p

⸻
Stacked sensor, simply
A stacked sensor is built in layers with memory and processing built directly into the sensor.
This allows it to read data much faster than a standard sensor.
In real use:
- faster capture with less lag
- reduced rolling shutter distortion
- cleaner motion when shooting movement
- higher chance of getting the exact frame
⸻
Where it works best
- High-end hybrid campaigns (stills + motion)
- Fashion and editorial with video deliverables
- Commercial content production
- Run-and-gun video with cinema-level output
- Productions moving between photo and film on the same setup
⸻
What it does differently
- Stacked sensor improves speed and reduces rolling shutter
- Cinema tools built into a stills body
- Seamless transition between photo and video modes
- Handles both high-resolution stills and serious video production

Lens pairing suggestions
Built to work as a true hybrid system:
