The Canon Canon EOS R5 Mark II seems to be a solid performer by all accounts and DPR seems to agree in its latest review which you can read in full here or check out the excerpts below:

Pros Cons
  • Excellent image quality in a range of circumstances
  • Very fast autofocus with very effective subject tracking
  • Action Priority mode to help capture specific sports
  • Eye Control can be a rapid and intuitive way to select a subject
  • Packed with features to suit a wide range of photography
  • Good video support tools, including waveform display
  • Choice of Raw or Canon Log 2 workflows
  • Optional fan grip available if you need longer recording times or faster recovery
  • Blur/Out-of-focus system helps you home-in on your best shots
  • New menu arrangement easier to make sense of
  • In-camera upscaling and de-noising options could be useful
  • Slight reduction in dynamic range may impact images with extreme processing
  • Not all users will find Eye Control reliable
  • Temperature limits require considered shooting in most ambitious video modes
  • Waveform display is quite small and can’t be moved
  • No way to quickly access Auto ISO minimum shutter speed
  • Blur/Out-of-focus detection only works for JPEGs with detected subjects in e-shutter mode and isnt great at recognizing sharp images.
