There are cameras that capture moments, and then there are cameras that feel like they are from the future. The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is a powerful glimpse into that future. It takes the groundbreaking legacy of the original R5 and enhances it in every conceivable way, creating a hybrid tool of astonishing speed, intelligence, and imaging power. At Unicorn Films, our mission is to provide creators with tools that remove all technical barriers, and the R5 Mark II is the new pinnacle of that philosophy, available for hire to Delhi’s most ambitious professionals.
At its core is a newly developed 45-megapixel full-frame stacked CMOS sensor. The “stacked” design is key, enabling dramatically faster readout speeds. This technology is what unlocks the camera’s incredible performance, practically eliminating rolling shutter distortion and allowing for blackout-free continuous shooting. This is paired with a powerful new dual-processor system, combining the stalwart DIGIC X with a new DIGIC Accelerator. This partnership doesn’t just improve speed; it powers the camera’s incredible AI capabilities, including in-camera neural network noise reduction for cleaner high-ISO images.
The autofocus system in the R5 Mark II is a true revolution, offering multiple layers of intelligent control.
For filmmakers, the R5 Mark II is a true cinema-grade hybrid. The headline feature is the ability to record stunning, uncropped 8K RAW video internally at up to 60 frames per second. This is a level of quality and flexibility previously reserved for high-end cinema cameras.
Canon has engineered the R5 Mark II for the rigors of professional use. The body features enhanced weather sealing and robust build quality. Dual card slots, one for next-generation CFexpress Type B and one for UHS-II SD, provide the speed needed for 8K RAW and the flexibility professionals require. A crystal-clear 5.76m-dot OLED EVF and a versatile vari-angle touchscreen round out a camera that feels both familiar and futuristic. When you rent the R5 Mark II from Unicorn Films, you’re not just ready for today’s assignments; you’re prepared for tomorrow’s.

| ISO Sensitivity | Native ISO range of 100-51,200, expandable to 102,400. | Offers excellent flexibility and clean images across a vast range of lighting conditions. |
A stacked sensor has a much faster data readout speed. This dramatically reduces "rolling shutter" distortion (the jello-like effect on fast-moving subjects) and enables incredible performance like high-speed, blackout-free electronic shutter bursts and 8K 60p video.
The Canon EOS R5 Mark II features a significantly improved thermal management system compared to its predecessor, designed to handle the demands of high-resolution, high-frame-rate recording for longer durations suitable for professional workflows.
The Mark II is a major upgrade. Key differences include the new stacked sensor, the addition of the DIGIC Accelerator, the jump from 8K 30p to 8K 60p RAW, a faster 30fps stills burst rate (vs. 20fps), and the introduction of groundbreaking features like Eye Control AF and advanced AI subject detection.
For recording 8K RAW, a high-speed and VPG400-certified CFexpress Type B card is essential. Our Unicorn Films rental kits always include the correct, certified media required to use the camera's most powerful features.
It depends on the job. The R5 Mark II offers higher resolution (8K RAW) in a compact body. However, a dedicated cinema camera like the C70 offers professional features like built-in ND filters, XLR audio inputs, and ergonomics designed for long-form video shoots. The choice depends on prioritizing resolution and speed versus professional video handling features.
