Why I Prefer The Canon R5 over the R5C

[@grshindig]

You know that after the firmware update battery life improved 30% and now its....pretty decent already....so maybe you gotta revise your video.....also the change between modes has also reduces...so plz update the description because you misleading people not to buy an amazing camera and stick to the R5 which for video is nothing compared to R5C in terms of functionality and versatility

[@fatlegolas]

Hi! Thanks, you are correct it has much improved. This video was made a while ago, I have pinned your comment, so people can see this info more reliably. For my needs it I still prefer the R5 to R5C however as detailed in the video.

[@grshindig]

@@fatlegolas awesome man....this is an awesome camera ✌️

[@Alexproduction27]

agreed 100%

[@RockyMaiviaMiami]

Great review. The R5C camera matching is in light room now. The biggest difference to me are the video tools, no ibis wobble and 10bit video in mp4 (non log). Canon could put all the features and fix the battery life in both cameras but they won’t. The 10sec delay switching from video to photo (think even coverage) and The autofocus speed is super frustrating coming from an R5.

Thank you Jake for the helpful comparison video! Good luck and keep creating!

[@karlandre4989]

I have an R5c. Did a lot of research on cameras before getting it. The battery life is an issue but the fact that it can run through usb to an external battery is a game changer. I shoot long videos anyways so having to switch out the battery an hr at a time isn’t ideal. My main issue with it is that it doesn’t have c log 2 which would have made it Netflix certified. (I’m guessing same reason why they intentionally didn’t put it in since the c70 is). Also maybe having a micro hdmi port is a little annoying but not a deal breaker.

[@fatlegolas]

Thanks for the info! I want to emphasise that I prefer it for my workflow, might not be true for everyone.

[@storybydanehav]

Thanks for good honest review! I'm using an R6 right now as my fast turnaround camera as a complement to the RED komodo. But I don't like the codecs, inability to use external monitor AND OVERHEATING. So looking at switching to either R5 or R5C. So hard decisions... But this helps.

[@trondhelgehie6771]

Vi are all different, and that’s good.. For me R5C all the way! Have sold my R5 and C70 (maybe I need to buy a new one C70) 😁 I miss it… R5C for video and fast moving stuff, (sports, birds/animals) Hasselblad X2D for big print and general photography.. Thanks for the video👍

[@judabrisfam7604]

This is so helpful. I am currently on the 5D mk IV and looking into switching over to mirrorless. I do both photo and video with photo as my priority. My husband works with me on video and has the Canon C70. I found this video to hit some of the main points for me to consider. Thank you!

[@iKeto_gal]

Did you end up getting the r5c?

[@henakos]

Gerald undone tests show that there is no 2 stops difference in dynamic range. R5C is max 0,5 stops better.

[@4KLive]

I carry and use both all the time. I quite agree with your finding in your review R5C Needing 10sec to switch video/photo mode is bad for journalism use( power on time is a bit slower too). R5C need to use a external PD power supply to use all the function/lens is a bummer to keep the weight down. I can live with changing battery every 30min, but extra weight when hand-helding is bad. R5C is Unable to use the programme the dial at the back for EV+/- is really non-sense. it actually have less buttons for assigning than the R5. Canon could just keep the IBIS in the R5C, the fan will solve the heating issue. R5C is a really good video camera, just why does is not fix the easily fixed problem. For most case the R5 works as well, difficult to see the difference in video quality, if it over heat use a fan to blow on it nearby ( fix the fan on the tripod)

[@MrMolotov69]

Now that the r5 doesn’t overheat easily with the latest firmware, do you think it’s a better purchase? Is the video quality that much better with the r5c?

[@MODESTYXO205]

Would you chose the r5 over the fx3 for doc work

[@fatlegolas]

If you are shooting just video, then I would prefer the FX3 - gives you much more options than R5!

[@cruachfilms]

I have never had less than 30mins shooting video, 50/60p gets me about 45mins from an lpe6nh, 25,30p will get an hour. I’ve been using the 5C since April so lots of time with it.

[@4KLive]

8K? 4K? or FHD. I actually see the battery level dropping without recording, (all new canon batteries) with one battery.

[@cruachfilms]

@@4KLive the battery life is dependant on frame rate more than resolution. Any resolution in 25/30p around an hour any resolution on 50/60p around 45mins, it’s always oversampling from 8k that why the battery life will drop even when not recording.

[@fatlegolas]

How are you getting this much juice from it?

[@mirnivoznik8536]

Cool review, cool studio - keep 'em coming! 🤙🤙 (sooner than 9 months) 😆

[@ouissa-benkahyouissa9401]

is there a solution to wobble in video? im between the Sony fx3 and the r5, as far as I know, the hit problems was solved with the new firmware, the recording limit of 30 can be solved easily with the external monitor, the battery life is better than r5c, but the wobble in video push me back, is there a easy solution?

[@resurrectedmedia1794]

I own an R5 and after the last firmware, i don’t really notice it unless I’m looking for it

[@fatlegolas]

If you are choosing between FX3 and R5, think about R5C as just for video, it is better than R5!

[@fatlegolas]

Also wobble is really only present on 15 - 35 on wider settings I find.

[@contentm3893]

What wobble? No IBIS you shouldn't have any. The R5c is miles ahead of the R5.

[@caseybachmeyer]

super helpful video! If the r5c has two stops more than the r5...what do you think what the difference is between the c70 and r5c in terms of shadow recovery and dr? thanks

[@TheMisterEGUY]

I have the same battery issue 2 mins left in video then 3/4 left in photo mode so weird

[@fatlegolas]

It’s wrong is what it is haha 😅

[@heynow2880]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful

[@theboonana3372]

great video, I have a c70 and two r5s. Does the r5c look match the r5 more than the c70? I struggle colour matching the c70 sometimes.

[@fatlegolas]

In my opinion it does! R5 can be hard to match, I agree!

[@danielw9704]

Very honest opinion 👍 Subscribed

[@fatlegolas]

Thanks Daniel!

[@cjsmith]

Excellent Review! I would go with just the R5 if I had to chose only one. 😎⚡️🤙

[@asalalawsi]

Is r5 better than r5c ? After the latest firmware update

[@darqaegis9045]

The R5C is a superior camera; image quality and dynamic range is noticeably better; everything else is easily remedied.

[@nyambe]

What about the R6 II?

[@MrMolotov69]

How would you compare the video quality between the r5 and r5c? Specially 4k hq with the r5 vs 4k with the r5c?

[@darqaegis9045]

The R5C is better! Better dynamic range and it just looks better. It has a more organic look than the R5

[@MrMolotov69]

Do you know this from experience or just by what you’ve heard online?

[@darqaegis9045]

@@MrMolotov69 I own an R5 and an R5C. I KNOW for a fact

[@MrMolotov69]

@@darqaegis9045 and how would you rate the r5c for stills?

[@darqaegis9045]

@@MrMolotov69 it’s exactly like the R5. The R5 has a slight edge because of the IBIS but they’re identical for stills. The R5C is an R5 in photo mode but more like an 8K FF C70 in video mode

[@lauraim9]

Great comparison review, thank you! No plans to carry a nuclear reactor anytime soon lol

[@muanngaihte]

interesting opinion

[@caevizcarra]

Great video, what about battery life for photography mode only? Im deciding between this and the r5, thanks

[@joepatnaude6050]

if u just using it for stills its just as good as r5 i have the r5c i love it for photography stills i just use battery grip with 2 batteries when shooting video i use external power

[@_jviewsfilms24]

i feel like we got to stop praising this company manufacture maybe they will listen to us the consumer when we stop praising their cameras.

[@fatlegolas]

That’s true.

[@nyambe]

That is a lot of money. You would think that the R5 + C70 or R5C would be perfect.

[@caseybachmeyer]

r5 has ibis and better af...but no dr...so every camera fit for a different kind of job

[@ironfistvail]

v mount battery in your pocket with a cord solved

[@fatlegolas]

It’s exactly what I ended up doing. It’s just for my situation where I do stock while traveling, portability and being able to switch between the modes - I prefer the R5 for day to day operations. If I am shooting just video - R5C is ofcourse the go to cam. Both are great cams to be fair 😁
