Canon EOS R5 Mark II receives first price cut

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II has received its first major price cut, dropping to $3,999 from $4,299 at Adorama and other retailers. This pro-grade camera is known for its impressive features, including a 45MP full-frame sensor and the ability to record 8K video. The R5 Mark II stands out for its advanced autofocus system, which includes eye control autofocus, and new in-camera image upscaling. This camera was well-received during testing and was even named TechRadar's camera of the year for 2024. It currently ranks as the top choice for stills photographers in many buying guides. The new price makes the R5 Mark II more competitive with models like the Nikon Z8, which is priced similarly, and it is still $1,000 less than Sony's flagship Alpha 1. For those interested in alternatives, the Nikon Z8 is also on sale for about $3,999, offering a great set of features, including a 45.7MP sensor and 8K video. Additionally, the older Canon EOS R5 Mark I is available for $2,999, making it a cheaper option while still delivering strong performance. It may not have all the latest features, but it still provides excellent quality with its 45MP sensor and 8K video capabilities.
