Weight is another important factor, especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Canon R5 is 8g lighter than the Canon R5 II but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Also keep in mind that body weight is not the only deciding factor when comparing two interchangeable camera bodies, you also have to take into account the lenses that you will be using with these bodies. Since both Canon R5 and Canon R5 II have the same Canon RF lens mount and Full frame sized sensors, lenses will not be a differentiator on total size of the system.
Weather Sealing
Both the R5 and the R5 Mark II have weather sealings in their bodies, making them resistant to water and dust.
LCD Screen Size and Features
Canon R5 and Canon R5 II's LCD screens have the same diagonal size of 3.20 inches.
Both cameras feature
Fully Articulating screens where you can change the angle of the screen to make it easier to shoot from waist or over-the-head levels. Fully articulating screens are also useful for taking Selfies and video.
