Notes

The EOS R5 Mark II is a high-end mirrorless body used for professional photo/video work where reliability matters more than novelty. Practical "lifespan" is often driven by shutter wear, impact damage, moisture intrusion, and connector fatigue rather than the sensor itself.

If the camera is under ~4 years old and the repair is a single, bounded component (e.g., shutter unit or a damaged card-slot assembly) that stays under the threshold, repair usually makes sense because the body retains high workflow value. Replacement becomes more reasonable when multiple core systems are failing (IBIS + shutter + board), or when downtime and repeated service events start costing more than the repair bill.
