Agreed. Batteries don't last anywhere near as long as the R5, I'm afraid. But worth it for the extra functionality. It just means extra batteries or a charger close by.
I think the number 1 thing you can attribute the change in battery life to is the new Digic Accelerator chip. I believe that one component is consuming the lion's share of the extra power requirements. Not sure if the brighter and EVF couple with the eye control AF has an impact, but that is very possible as well.
I'm not convinced as I switched from R6 to R6ii and noticed exactly the same reduced battery time.
Maybe it's simply due to higher max FPS and or smoother EVF. I'm not complaining about the battery life, it's actually still great, just appears slightly less.
Auto focus/eye detection is amazing for BIF. Only issues I have is battery life compare to my 90D plus the R5MK2 "bricked' removing and reinstalling the battery reset it but have seen random setting change. Have sent it back to supplier who woll replace .
Thumbs up for using ThinkTank Retrospective bag!
I have one - and love it!
Excellent video Jay....I agree with your observations on the r5 mk2. Excellent AF but the battery life as you mention is less than the r5 mk1. It does not last as long and I dont understand why that is.
I know the new battery is the same capacity as the old one but it has a higher output to support different shooting modes. I thought I heard people say the R5 2 was supposed to be more efficient. Guess that wasn't true.
Nice review. Love your exctememt. I think you convinced me to upgrade. I'm a wildlife photographer and not a pixel peeper. Thanks.
You'll definitely enjoy the improved autofocus
The auto subject detect is a good option, but it can add to battery drain. It runs all those neural networks of people, animals, cars detection one after another instead of just one or none. I'm curious how much drain it adds. I wold like to have it on auto too. Other than that - the camera is much more power-hungry. The autofocus works more frequently, processes more areas, etc, the viewfinder is brighter, scans the eye, there is additional AI processor, etc. I'm not surprised the buttery holds less time.
I'll try turning off the auto subject detect and just on people for my wedding this weekend and see if I noticed a difference
I don't think the new battery was supposed to last longer, it wasn't a higher mAh battery. It was supposed to be able to provide more power, it's a higher current battery, which implies that it won't last as long if doing high power draw tasks. Which tasks draw higher power are those functions that are disabled if you stick the old battery in it.
I sent mine back. I could just as easily say that is "all you need to know", too. Nothing you showed us here needs any advanced AF capabilities. And, no, you don't have to pixel peep to appreciate dynamic range. (I get so sick of people using that term to explain away everything about every camera.) Being able to bring detail out of shadows can be the difference between a print that sells, or one that hangs on the wall. For weddings? You don't have that problem. My clients make their buying decisions AFTER I print the shots.
A funny thing happens when you enlarge a shot big enough to hang over the entire mantle of a fireplace (for instance). The pixels get peeked at, because of the size of the print.
Please check for hot/dead/stuck pixel in the R5M2. The R5 was bad on hot/dead/stuck pixel and remapping didn't work good. I've already seen threads that the R5M2 has again problems in this area.
Thanks
The new battery does NOT last longer, per design it has the exact same capacity as the previous one. But it can supply a higher maximum current, which is required for some video functions and fast burst shooting on the R5II.
He literally said in his experience the new battery does not last longer.
@@CAMphotography_What he meant to say was that the new battery was never supposed to last longer than the previous model. All it does is output more power during use to make use of some of the new functionalities. So the battery has the same capacity as the previous one, it can just output more maximum power at a time. Hopefully that clears some things up on that
@@guydesrouilleres183 gotcha. Thanks
@@guydesrouilleres183if it can have more output at a time could mean the battery draina even faster in demanding Situations
So the newer battery is to compensate for the R5ii higher draw. But if you did use the newer battery in an older camera you will see longer battery life. The R5C for example has shown a 40-100% increase in record time with the new battery .
Awesome video,, question what’s hanging from your camera underneath the 2 red circles strings?
Peak design anchors. I use their camera straps. I can also hook it into my holdfast gear straps
I’ve been for a couple of years now shooting with the R6 Mark II and really looking forward to upgrade to the R5 Mark II!!
Are you upgrading for the higher resolution then?
@@cjm8160 that is the exact reason if that makes sense.
Those 45 megapixels vs the 24 from the R6 I expect them to be notable.
For me 2stops more dynamic range would be enough reason to upgrade
I haven’t had the battery issue yet. So far I have not killed the battery once. I have done 11 hours of shooting and gotten as low as a quarter. I came from the original R5 and noticed no change. I also have the R6i.
Do you have any of the power saving options turned on?
@@jaylphoto no I don’t
Yeah lots of people coming out about how bad the battery life is now.
I have r6 m2 and r5 m2. Low light performance with r6 is muck better. And you have to avoid using uv filters with it. Resolution drastically drops with long focus lenses. 100-500 for long end is literally blurred with r5 m2. But without uv it’s sharp. More focus distance you use more resolution drop you will have. It’s like to observe with binoculars through window.
Are you sure you are not experiencing heat haze? With a high end UV filter there shouldn’t be a difference.
How do like that 28-70?
It’s a great lens. Except for the weight. 😅
I upgraded from 5dsr... yes it was worth it. Stop making titles that exclude everyone but r5 owners.
How did you find the autofocus speed on the 5dsr? If the subject is moving can the 5dsr keep it in focus easily?
