“When this review is done, I think I want to pack up all my Canon gear and put it in the closet for a really long time,” I said to myself halfway through this review. I have been a Canon shooter since before I started the Phoblographer 15 years ago. And I’ve seen a lot of reviews of the Canon EOS R5 II online that state one thing or another. They all come from very specific perspectives in our industry. I, however, in nearly every aspect, am the minority and often test things that others don’t. Canon hasn’t really cared about what authentic and accredited journalists have said — even though we’re truly the driving force of what is said anyway. With that said, I’m truly not holding back on this one. This Canon EOS R5 II review tells you the truth that many others aren’t telling you. In many ways, Canon is an alcoholic who went to AA meetings in a pledge to change themselves, but that fell into it again after they got another taste of their own spiked Kool-Aid. To that end, the last few years of the RF mount was all a facade.
