Canon Announces the EOS R5C

[Tim Mayo]

Canon has today announced the EOS R5C.

The EOS R5C delivers unlimited recording time in any mode up to 8K/60p, thanks to its internal active cooling system. It can also capture high frame rates up to 4K/120p in 4:2:2 10-bit color, without a sensor crop, while maintaining full autofocus operation. It's also the first Canon camera to provide internal 8K/60p recording using Cinema Raw Light.

Canon announces the EOS R5C, a Cinema EOS and a stills camera all in one body

Canon has announced the EOS R5C, the newest member of both its EOS line of still cameras and its Cinema EOS motion picture system. It effectively combines an EOS R5 mirrorless camera with a pro-level Cinema EOS camera, all in a single body, and provides use case-specific operation right down to...

And if you are curious about how it compares to the R5, then DPReview also have a comparison article:

Canon EOS R5C vs EOS R5: what's the same, what's different?

The Canon EOS R5C looks a lot like an EOS R5 with a fan mounted on the back. Its greatest weakness stems from the degree to which this is true but so, perhaps, does its greatest strength.

I think that this R5C does not come with IBIS and is more expensive. So not good if you are a stills image user. Surely if you are really into video you would use a specific video camera. I've never really used my 5D SLR's and now mirror-less R5 for video.

Looks like a great camera for the video centric that also want a still camera as well. I think the price is pretty good too.

Canon’s spec for the R5C describes image stabilisation as follows:
“5-axis Electronic IS. Coordinates with supported lenses featuring optical-IS for optimal performance.” Not IBIS, but enhanced lens IS?

I have a similar approach to Ken, making only limited use of the video facility of my DSLRs & now R6. However, I do find it useful to have the video capability to hand rather than needing a separate video camera as in the past.

its is rare for me to use the video on my R5 but once in a while I will make a short video of less than two minutes, usually of wildlife.
