Its worth noting that the latest firmware update for the R5 did an AMAZING job on fixing overheat. Since I got that version, I had zero overheats. And I use 4k60 and 4khq a lot. Even 4k120 (which always overheated quickest) practicaly doesnt overheat at all in my work. :-)

[@Angelo_Paduraru]

Yes, the R5 is not the same camera as was before. And is about to come a new “big” firmware update for R5 now in April.

[@9to5Mac]

Great video! I've had the R5 for about 4 months now and have been very curious about the C70. I agree with the solution to use both instead of choosing one over the other. They both have amazing attributes.

[@sebastian89mm43]

Great video Parker - thanks! To add one little feature: for those who shoot 9:16 (flipped image vertical) the C70 shows the display menu in the right way which is a very convenient feature for social media and also Greenscreen productions...

[@JADURCA]

I found that the C70 shodow recovery is insane, with lots of image quality and detail!

[@AustrianGeek]

An R5c with better cooling, without time limit, dual card recording and full size HDMI would be the sweet spot for many I guess. I personally also hope for it to hit the market (as I have already lenses lying around for the RF mount ^^). Though: Could be a "no go" for Canon to protect the bigger cameras in the cinema lineup. The hardware would be capable of doing it. If necessary, they could even remove the internal sensor stabilisation (to keep the sensor cooler). Wouldn´t be that of a big deal with such a small camera (basically every standard gimbal supports the R5 size and weight).

[@norgerichard]

Nice to see you again Parker. :)

[@noliserban]

Very good video! Now I will buy the R5C.

[@TazawaTanks]

Great video! The built-in ND filters should be worth a bonus point though! Lol! I’ve really been considering the C70, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, as I want to see what else is coming that’s full frame.

[@bobsteinfinkel]

Thanks for the video, it was very thorough. Just wondering if you have used the R5 and C70 together in a multicam interview set up and how do you find the footage matches together?

JUST the video I was looking for. I've been debating which of these two cameras to choose for weeks, and this really helped with my decision. Thoroughly enjoyed your clear and concise breakdown of the pros and cons of each camera.

I'm still shooting with an sl2 for my A-cam. 4 years of photos and 2 with video for that entry-level camera. But I'm upgrading everything and will probably go with the C70 for A and R5c as a B-cam. I've been waiting so long for the release of the R7 but who knows when that will announce and ship. Thanks for the review.

Loved the review. I side on the C70 just because of my work and workflow. FYI, your last item is incorrect, while still correct. The R5 is a better camera (by far), but the C70 does take pictures. Just set a custom button to do so.

[@RamSarup]

Great video as always. Just an FYI, you can assign a custom button on the C70 to capture an image, so technically, you can take pictures with the C70 (note: It is however a 'frame-grab' from the video, so the R5 still rightly wins that category).

[@kevinwillgetyouthere9603]

Great video! I’m looking forward to your thoughts and review on the CANON EOS R5C. Is the R5C the perfect happy-medium?? Before I buy it for my #1 camera I’d like to see your review. How it performs in the editing room, the pros and cons regarding overheating and file sizes and color correcting in post when using clog or not. The overall workflow is so important and YOU are the best person to think with this. Please make the R5C video soon!!!!

[@tptrsn]

Great video, thanks! One question: Are you able to reduce sharpness and contrast in the R5 picture profile to "open it up" a little bit and more closely match the C70 image? The R5 image just looks a little crunchy next to the C70's beautiful picture profile.

[@srinagardiary-lifeinkashmi5731]

very nice....subscribed

[@IanCDunneFilmsNC]

I have both. Plus an r6. We’re talking about two different qualities of image here though. One sensor is the same as a c300 mkiii (a $10k camera), and one isn’t. Also, one is Netflix approved (which speaks to the quality), and one isn’t. That said - I love the r5 as a B or C cam. It’s not a cinema camera though. Not even close.

[@knekolas]

Parker, what camera would you pick to pair with the R5 for an A & B combo? The R5 has been my daily driver since its release and hasn’t disappointed! I retired my 1DXII for it, and it some instances still pair the 2 together... but for video.. the recording limit & overheating really concerned me. I ended up investing in a BMPC6K (low cost, 6k, EF mount), but am curious your thoughts.

So question with the codex files: why don’t you use an external recorder that records to a ssd that can automatically write better editing codec? Super sick video though dude

[@DanCroitor]

Great comparison. Did you use a teleprompter while shooting this video?

[@DaveSy]

Awesome shootout. Such a tough call as someone with a 1D X Mark II and deciding where to go from here. As I also saw in Potato Jet's video, it looks like the C70 0.71x adapter adds chromatic aberration/edge blur, especially apparent at 12:34 :/

[@nathandd8541]

I do not understand Why do some people exaggerate the problem of Canon overheating? I share my personal experience in a professional project I have been shooting documentaries with the Canon R5 for more than 3 months We shoot for an average of 7 hours a day 80% of the time our format is in 4K HQ Many of the shots are shot at 4K 120 frames and 8K Most locations are outdoors - under direct sunlight | (of course it is winter now) We did not have a problem with the camera overheating even once Just turn off the camera when you are not recording

[@JosephYunMusic]

Hi Parker!! Do you still use the Glidecam? If so or if not, Is it still worth it? I'm handheld guy instead of using gimbal and love your glidecam work!! What would you recommend for R5 ??

[@devonloerop]

Filmed an elopement in the pouring rain on the Washington coast and C70 powered through! Love this thing so much!! R5 100% for personal project videos/photography and hikes, but C70 all the way for a professional camera

[@AKGreen]

I have both now and after some use i can say the ONLY thing that i really wished the R5 had over the C70 was the DGO sensor. The overheating doesn’t bother me bc I’m mostly using it for some quick high res b-roll shots.

[@ShashankTinkuSharma]

Please do a video on How is the dynamic range and highlight retention of the c70. Also the colour grading workflow compared to sony fx3 or a7s3

[@KaiTiura]

Wow, Parker, great review! I'm not even interested in the C70, and I have an R5, but I liked this video anyway for the in-depth info you touched on. A lot of it reaffirms what I love about my R5. The overheating issue goes away when recording on the R5 with a Ninja V, so that's not an issue any more in my opinion. The codec is easier to edit with Ninja V files until you get into 8K, which no one really uses much anyway, so again a non-issue of sorts. The CFX card I bought was $400, so that's certainly a consideration, but I shoot mostly photos with a bit less in video, and the CFX card gives me easy control of buffer maxing, but I guess that's not really an issue here because the C70 isn't a photo camera. But it does have to be said that the R5 will shoot for a LONG time recording with the Ninja V without ANY overheating issues, so that point may actually be a wash. I see this as a 10-9 win for the R5. I'll take that! PLUS, the R5 shooting 4K HQ can be considered a win because recording on the Ninja V doesn't overheat, so that one's either a wash or an R5 win. AND I saved about a third of the price of the C70 on my R5 (not "half") and all my moving bird photos or moving subject photos come out at 80-90% good in the worst conditions, even with a 60-600mm Sigma zoom, which is insane. So, in answer to your question, the R5 definitely hits the most marks for me. Thanks for the deep dive on this review!
