I took my Canon EOS R5 II to pieces so you don't have to!

The Canon EOS R5 Mark II is the company's top-end enthusiast mirrorless camera, comparable to the Nikon Z8 or Sony A7R V. Boasting a 45Mp sensor, 30fps shooting rate and industry-leading autofocus – not to mention costing a pretty penny – it's one of the best mirrorless cameras on the market, equally at home in a pro's kitbag as much as a well-heeled hobbyist's.

So what's the first thing to do when you finally get your hands on this pricey bit of kit? Take it to pieces, naturally. At least, that's what the boffins at Kolari Vision did, though, to be fair, the company is used to taking cameras apart, being a specialist in infrared conversions, which necessitates getting access to the sensor to remove the IR cut filter.
