The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is a professional-grade camera that excels in image quality, video capabilities, and autofocus performance, making it suitable for serious photographers and videographers. The Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max, with its advanced computational photography features, offers a convenient and portable option for everyday photography, but it cannot match the image quality and versatility of the Canon EOS R5 Mark II.
| Attribute | Canon EOS R5 Mark II | Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max (Computational Photography) |
|---|---|---|
| Image Sensor Size | 35mm Full Frame (36 x 24 mm) | Rumored to be 1/1.3", slightly smaller than the 1/1.28" sensor in the iPhone 16 Pro models. Some sources claim a larger 1-inch main sensor. |
| Megapixel Count | 45 megapixels (Total pixels: 50.3 megapixels) | Rear: Triple 48MP (48MP wide-angle primary lens, 48MP ultrawide lens, and 48MP periscope telephoto lens). Front: 24MP |
| Image Stabilization (IBIS) | 5-axis IBIS, up to 8.5 stops of shake correction with compatible lenses. It can correct up to 7.5 stops at the edges. | Sensor-shift optical image stabilization (OIS) on the main wide sensor and the periscope telephoto lens |
| Video Recording Capabilities (Resolution & Frame Rate) | 8K RAW video up to 60p, 4K video up to 120fps, Full HD recording at up to 240 frames per second | May support 8K video recording. 4K recording at various frame rates (24/25/30/60/100/120fps). May feature 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), ProRes, and 3D (spatial) video/audio recording. |
| Autofocus System (Type & Points) | Dual Pixel CMOS AF with deep learning. Features include Spot AF, 1-point AF, and whole area AF. AF can focus in incredibly dark conditions, down to EV -7.5. | Likely dual-pixel PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) on the wide and telephoto lenses. May leverage LiDAR for improved autofocus speed and accuracy, especially in low light. |
| Lens Mount Compatibility | Canon RF mount. Compatible with RF and RF-S lenses. EF and EF-S lenses can be used with an adapter. | Not applicable as it's a smartphone. Fixed lenses, but computational photography enhances their capabilities. |
| Computational Photography Features | AI Neural Network upscaling and noise reduction in-camera processing, In-camera upscaling to 179 megapixels | Next-generation Neural Engine for real-time depth mapping and subject tracking. Features like "Adaptive Pixel Fusion" for detail enhancement. "Photonic Engine 2" uses machine learning to reconstruct textures in highlights. AI-powered photo processing. |
| Dynamic Range | At ISO 800, it achieves 12 stops at SNR = 1 and 10.8 stops at SNR = 2 | A monochrome sensor may be added to enhance light capture and dynamic range. Potentially offering 40% more dynamic range. |
| Low Light Performance (ISO) | ISO 100-51200, expandable to ISO 50-102400. Noise levels are well-controlled up to ISO 3200 | Improved low-light performance with larger sensors and pixel-binning technology. May have larger sensors and improved noise reduction. |
| Burst Shooting Speed (fps) | Up to 30 fps with electronic shutter (14-bit RAW) and 12 fps with mechanical shutter | The sensor may allow for incredible electronic shutter performance. |
| Weather Sealing | Dust and weather-resistant | No specific details available, but iPhones generally have some level of water and dust resistance. |
| Battery Life (Shots per charge) | Approximately 490 shots using the LCD screen or 340 shots using the viewfinder | May have a larger battery, around 5000mAh. Could offer approximately 35 hours of battery life. |
