Canon EOS R5 C
EOS Cinema in compact form
One year after the launch of the EOS C70, Canon is now taking another big step towards a compact cinema camera. With the EOS R5 C, the major problems with the video features of the R5 have now been resolved, making it the perfect companion for any videographer.
What's new with the R5 C and how Canon differentiates the R5, R5 C and C70 from each other, you can find out in our video.
Active cooling, but no IBIS?
The body of the Canon EOS R5 C can be described relatively simply. It is an EOS R5 with a fan behind the display. Apart from that, the big red "C" for "Cinema" and the red video record button, not much has changed. What is new, however, is the intelligent hotshoe, as already found on the R3. This makes it possible to mount two XLR ports on the camera via a Tascam adapter.
Because of the new fan and other power guzzlers, the IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) unfortunately had to be omitted here and only the electronic image stabilizer remains, which, however, can correct minor movements well via RF lenses in particular. Motion data can correct smaller movements well.
Same sensor, but with 8K 60p RAW
The Canon EOS R5 C uses the same sensor that we already know from the R5. What is new here, however, is the ability to shoot 8K 60p RAW. Thanks to the active cooling by the fan, there should no longer be any overheating problems.
Photos still possible
Although the camera is designed for filming, it is still possible to take photos. To simplify operation, the camera has a switch for off/video/photo, as well as two different menus for the respective modes. All buttons are also labeled twice so that operation for both modes is easy and handy.
Canon EOS C70 Hands-On Review
One year before the launch of the EOS R5 C, Canon has already ventured into the world of compact cinema cameras with the C70. We have also recorded the most important information about this in a video.
