I upgraded from the R to the R5.
- Canon EOS R5 Mark II:
- Electronic Shutter: Up to 30 fps (frames per second) with full AF/AE tracking.
- Mechanical Shutter: Up to 12 fps.
- Electronic 1st-Curtain Shutter: Up to 12 fps (same as mechanical).
- Customizable lower speeds: 20, 15, 10, 7.5, 5, 3, 2, or 1 fps.
- Canon EOS R1:
- Electronic Shutter: Up to 40 fps with full AF/AE tracking.
- Mechanical Shutter: Up to 12 fps (same as R5 II).
- Note: The R1 is designed for speed, making its 40 fps capability a significant advantage for sports and action photography.
- Buffer Capacity
- Canon EOS R5 Mark II:
- Electronic Shutter (30 fps):
- JPEG/HEIF: Up to 200 frames.
- RAW: Up to 93 frames (CFexpress card) or 86 frames (SD card).
- Mechanical Shutter (12 fps):
- JPEG: Up to 760 frames.
- RAW: Up to 230 frames (CFexpress card) or 95 frames (SD card).
- Real-world buffer performance depends on memory card write speeds (CFexpress Type B clears faster than UHS-II SD).
- Canon EOS R1:
- The R5 II's Pre-Continuous Shooting mode captures 15 frames (0.5 seconds at 30 fps) before the shutter is fully pressed, while the R1 captures 20 frames (0.5 seconds at 40 fps).
- Buffer and fps can vary based on settings (e.g., ISO, file format, lens used, battery type).
So the R1 is a bit faster in most ways, at the cost of resolution. I will say it's tough going back to lower res cameras for certain situations, especially since all the RF lenses can handle a ton of resolution- Electronic Shutter (40 fps):
- JPEG/RAW: Over 1000 frames, effectively near-unlimited for most practical scenarios.
- The R1's buffer is significantly larger, designed for sustained high-speed shooting, making it ideal for professional sports and wildlife photographers.
Both cameras use CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots, but CFexpress cards are recommended for maximizing buffer performance.Leave a Comment
