Sweet!!! I got a comment read at 1:35 thanks 🙏🏾, the R5c is definitely an amazing beast I’ve been putting it through its paces as well as the R7.

[@pruett89]

Those scenes with Frank are just beautiful, you can see the work that Sony Venice was putting in

[@gordon_kwong]

[@aroundtheworld5901]

The R5c I have bought some weeks ago and must say: it is one of the best camera that I have in this price sector. The camera has the best performance with the canon RF Lenses. If You use very good lenses, You get the best results in 8K. The biggest Problem: The camera is very power hungry.

[@RJGarrish]

Im still here because these videos are so watchable! Its such a thorough style of video but its so easily watchable. I love how the segments cut in and out of each other and you tell the story with the different characters involved. Crazy.

How you like your R5c so far? I'm thinking to get one.

[@JonRawlinson]

@@alexandrosmargo552 superb image quality in video and photo modes. I absolutely LOVE the separation of video menu from photo menu. This camera eats batteries like I’ve never seen. It’s unfortunately next to impossible to get it to record 8K 60 without all kinds of extra battery power cables attached. But overall, by far the best video/photo hybrid camera I’ve ever used.

Aww man you're in San Pedro! My old stomping ground! Thanks for this video. My R5C comes Wednesday :)

[@RogueNoble]

With 8K and now 12K, at a certain point, won't the clarity of the image be limited by the sharpness of the lens? Cropping in 3x on your subject will hardly match the clarity of a camera shooting 4K either zoomed in or moved closer to the subject.

[@TechnoBabble]

I don't get it either. I understand wanting to reframe, but a good 4k camera can do that and still be used for a 4k delivery and look good.

[@PaulPaul0]

Yes that is very much correct. At those resolutions you’ll def need clinically sharpen cinema primes

[@KerrCreatives]

Man just frame the shot how you want to in the first place

[@covingtonrace1]

It will be limited by the ability of your eye to see the difference between 12k and 68k

[@danieIlondon]

No. Limited to clarity of atmospheric pressure

[@jessejayphotography]

Clog2 from Cinema RAW Lite on the R5C pretty much needs noise reduction applied but even so the noise will be more controlled in a oversampled 4K mode with custom noise reduction settings. Canon should just throw us a firmware update with clog2 XF-AVC mode.

[@Univerzumusic]

why when i sellect raw i can only put clog3?

[@jessejayphotography]

@@Univerzumusic When you develop CRAW in Davinci you can force whatever log curve you want. Canon limits to CLOG3 setting in the camera.

[@charliebingaman571]

Been using the R5C for 3 full months now and it has been amazing. Obviously the battery is the only big issue but I have four and its been fine, and powering with USB C is super easy. For a portable cinema setup, a dtap battery or dummy is a great way to go. For photos, its just as goood as the R5 without the ibis, but its truly a video beast. No regrets at all!

[@JonRawlinson]

what dummy battery and external battery are you using?

[@PizzlesTechTime]

Really surprised that this was one of the only videos that mentions the autofocus performance. You really knocked it out of the park with this one. I'm having autofocus issues and I'm wondering how no other video has even mentioned it.

[@ksyutang]

Is your camera on the latest firmware? Wondering if they’ve fixed issues with autofocus for the r5c

[@PizzlesTechTime]

@@ksyutang after I updated the firmware it works much better however sometimes in lower light it will hunt until I tell it where to focus.

[@RoboticsLive]

@Potato Jet, is this a scam ?

[@CinePals]

What are your autofocus settings? My autofocus seems to work pretty well. You were cycling through the options but didn't show a demo. My "Continuous AF" is set to Enable, my AF Frame is "Whole Area" and I also have the Face Det. & Tracking on. I haven't tested out zooming in on 8K footage, but another KZbinr who does tech stuff responded with his own demo that showed excellent quality at 10x zoom. I know you're probably slammed with work but if you're able to, would really appreciate you doing more demo's with the autofocus because I'm sure it's better than that. Anyway, as always, really appreciate your work.

[@trop1calfilm]

I got rid of my R6 and got this for filming weddings. This thing is a BEAST! Love it a lot!

[@fotomaton7852]

I'm also thinking of upgrading my R6 to an R5/R5C for pro video. Do you miss the IBIS? That's the one thing making me lean towards the R5, especially with the 1.6 update fixing the overheat.

[@trop1calfilm]

@@fotomaton7852 I would prefer going for R5C, I don't really care about IBIS as it is the reliability of the camera. I just shot my 4 wedding with the R5C and it's a BEAST! And shot all of those weddings handheld (R5C on a rig). No overheating issues at all and the image quality that come out of this camera is crazy. I think you'll love the R5C, plus it's actual cinema camera.

[@zapsizzle]

I got my Canon R7! Pre-order from Canon finally came through. I love it as a B-cam to my R6, R5. It isn't as feature-packed and the crop sensor image isn't as nice as the r6 & r5 but that's the point of the lower price and for that, it's a great value. I love it!

[@Chris-NZ]

Ditto use-case but mine hasn’t arrive yet 🙁 edited , but wait it arrived two weeks ago fully agree with your comments 😀

[@AnandaGarden]

Random thoughts. The 7 series of cameras have always produced still images that I love - e.g., extending the 135/2 to 216 or whatever. I'd buy an R7 in a heartbeat for that reason alone, but I'd keep the R6.

[@gawin_art689]

I own a Canon r7 with a viltrox ef-r3 speedbooster and I am blown away with the results, for the price. You definitely should do a review of that camera!!

[@StarGateSG7]

Which one SHOULD you buy? It depends if you do more drone and tripod shoots OR are more oriented towards hand-held Vlogging or night-time shoots! Sony A73 wins the hand-held vlogging side of things AND the night-time low-light shoots BUT Canon R5c wins the well-rigged, heavy lens oriented shoots where you are on a tripod or using a big drone. I would also favour the Canon R5c with its beefier batteries and more weather resistant (i.e. more rain proof) ruggedized form factor on the more commercial-oriented shoots. For BOTH cameras though, SPEND MONEY ON SHARP AND FAST LENSES !!! You want T2.4 and faster at 18-to-24mm, 35mm and 50 mm focal lengths which most commercial-oriented shoots tend to use! To illustrate, would I rather spend my lens money on a Laowa 12 to 24mm Zoom or a 35 mm T1.5 CN-E prime lens if I had EITHER the Sony A73 or the Canon R5c? --- YES the 12-to-24mm Zoom is handy BUT I would rather spend $4000 on the single focal length T1.5 CN-E 35mm prime lens! Always spend more money on your lenses than your camera! Get FAST and SHARP LENSES !!! V

I mean with the recent firmware update on the R5 I don't really have to worry about overheating anymore.

To answer your question about the Canon R7.... I own 3 of them.... Amazing camera... autofocus is super fast... battery life, no record limits... RF mount... I mean for the price, it's amazing!

[@ChadSchrandt]

Mine just showed up today, but have been using one for about a month. The battery is super rough, other than that, it's fantastic. I desperately wish canon updated the battery for this camera. My main take away is that adding cinema camera features to a mirrorless camera is huge. Whenever I use my a7siii, I wish I had false color, anamorphic desqueeze, waveforms, etc. This camera solves all that. It pairs well with my c70, but just wish it had those built in NDs and that dgo sensor that the C70 has. Tbh, I don't care about 8k since all my client deliveries are in 1080p, but it's a big plus if I need to crop way in. I give the camera an A-, almost perfect, just horrible battery life.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

i bought a 20 dollar micro vmount plate and rigged it up with a tiny v mount. i put it on top for gimbal and to the back for handheld with a cage. it is actually cheaper than buying a grip and 2 canon batteries.

[@JonRawlinson]

@@RayValdezPhotography what dummy battery and external battery are you using?

@@JonRawlinson anton bauer dummy . 150wh micro bauer. I did use fxlion but i returned them because they dont show enough info for battery life. I need some that shows time or a percent

[@JonRawlinson]

@@RayValdezPhotography I tried the core swx dummy battery but it wouldnt work. it seems the r5c only accepts a dummy battery that is LP-E6NH. ugh! thank you!

[@RayValdezPhotography]

@@JonRawlinson I had no problem with the core except I think the connection point is weak i would have to replug it. So I returned it. Seems like must dummy batteries are the same and just sent a constant voltage unlike real batteries which is why the battery life displayed on the r5c is wrong.

[@ИгорьТрапезников-г4щ]

[@crystalpulseTV]

Press and hold MENU + Custom Button to quickly set it, that's great, I loved that Panasonic let you do that with just press and hold on the button so I'm glad a shortcut exists for Canon. Wonder if it works for all camera's or just a select few **runs home to try it on the C70!**

[@danieldougan269]

The lack of built-in ND filters is a real bummer. I understand why it wouldn't have IBIS (because it can create problems for high-end filmmakers even when turned off), but this is exactly the kind of camera that should have built-in NDs.

Love to see a review of the Canon R3 for video next. I know it’s not a cinema camera, or video first, but I think it has some pretty interesting video quality features/advantages that are above the R5/R5c. Of course more expensive, but still pretty interesting for video shooters.

[@jammingdodger1632]

I currently own a Canon EOS R3, I use it mainly for videography purposes at weddings. Let's just say it's an insanely good camera but I wouldn't personally say it's insanely better than the R5/R5C to warrant such a price hike. I've used the R5C, R5, R6 and own an A7S III for my gimbal. The R5C/R5 are pretty close in terms of video to the R3, granted the R3 has greater battery endurance and could last me hours just shooting video, the R5C/R5 would require me to have multiple LP-E6N on hand to get through a full day of shooting. I use 4K 120fps in camera on my R3 handheld and damn does it kick some ass, I've used 4K 120fps on my A7S III using handheld, and although it's good I feel that the in camera stabilization is just far better and more polished with the R3. I would also personally choose the R5 over the R5C for the stabilisation (IBIS vs Electronic IS) reasons as I shoot handheld, as well as the recent update the R5 received which effectively made it useable over long periods of time.

The cinema OS is what sets the R5C apart from the R5. There are way more features that will assist and enhance the video capabilities with Canon's cinema os. More HDR and 8k 60 raw is a plus. So if you mainly shoot videos it's a worthy upgrade, but if you mainly take photos, stick with the R5.
