The verdict
The $2600 price gap centers on the transition from the Fujifilm APS-C sensor to the Canon 45MP Full Frame Stacked BSI CMOS sensor.
Choose the Canon EOS R5 Mark II if you require a 600-shot RAW buffer and 30fps electronic burst speeds. Its 8K DCI RAW video and 2600Mbps bitrate provide higher recording specifications than the Fujifilm 6.2K video at 360Mbps.
Choose the Fujifilm X-T5 if you prioritize portability and battery life, as it weighs 557g and offers 580 shots per charge. It provides a 40.2MP sensor and 7 stops of IBIS at a lower price point.
