Canon EOS R5 Mark II vs Sony a7R V

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II and the Sony a7R V side by side, computed from this guide's catalogue.

Which to pick

Pick the Canon EOS R5 Mark II if you want a newer model (2024 against 2022), which usually means better autofocus and video. Pick the Sony a7R V if you want more resolution, for cropping and big prints (61 against 45 MP) and more lenses made for it in this guide (278 against 99). If you already own Canon RF or Sony E lenses, the camera on that mount saves you buying them again.
