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. :-)

Finaly parker is back 😍😍 we miss u bro

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.

[BeeMillah]

Nice breakdown! These are the exact 2 cameras I use. They work together greatly. The R5 for photography jobs. It's an incredible stills camera. The C70 as my A camera for videography gigs and the R5 as the B camera.

Quality content, No time wasting straight into the point, Thank you for this amazing content
Also would love to see a Canon C70 vs BMPCC 6K or 6K pro when it comes out with Landon

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.

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).

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.

The built in ND filters should be worth 2 points lol. Top shelf Content brother.

[skymakai]

I love your comparisons... seriously what got me to start following your work and what led to me buying FTF, which has completely changed my life. Thanks Parker!

[RockyMaiviaMiami]

Love the video! Frustrating how many times we had to mention the options that were “allowed” on the R5. 10bit in standard and no record limit have always been a huge deal to me. Love my R5, but A7siii users have my envy of all the freedom.

[michaelezinga]

I would listen to a Parker Walbeck podcast!

[MatteoTorrisiOfficinaDelPilota]

I am a Canon R5 and R5c video gay. I did switch to Sony a7s3 couple of months ago but After four weeks of using The Sony i did switch back to Canon R5 for many many reasons

[TizOnly]

I switched from Nikon to Canon in January. Bought R5 and C70. Great combo. Tackles everything.

[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.

[gitarthsonowal]

People be like
APSC sensor- NO NO
SUPER 35 sensor- yes please🤣

[tahamansoor]

U know video is gonna be best when parker is there

[destinationnew]

Thank you - very helpful.

Tough call but I went with the C70 and use an EOS R for stills (& backup). The ability to edit 4K XFAVC easily on a MacBook Pro in my hotel room was a big factor.
