Canon EOS R5 Mark II Full-frame Camera
The new Canon EOS R5 Mark II is slightly larger than the EOS R5 that it replaced but it is still a relatively compact full-frame camera compared to the likes of Nikon Z8 which is probably its biggest competition ( Compare R5 II vs Z8) but still larger than the Sony A7R V (Compare R5 II vs A7R V). We have also added the new Nikon Z6 Mark III and the EOS R6 Mark II to the mix to have some lower-resolution / lower-price alternatives in the comparison.
Below is a size comparison of these cameras followed by a specs comparison:
