OFFICIAL Canon EOS R5C PREVIEW: MORE Than Just an R5 w/ a Fan!!!

FROPACK3 is HERE with 15 all-new custom Lightroom presets!!! Check it out

This is a PREVIEW of the Canon EOS R5C. Is the R5C just an R5 with a fan attached, the answer is no, it's much more. This is my preview and as soon as we get our hands on one, we will start our review. This will be a great stills and video-centric camera, you kind of get the best of both worlds. If you already have a Canon EOS R5 and you're happy with it, the R5C is not for you. If you need more video features, then it might be worth a look.

I smile everytime I see your note sheet because it looks like you diligently write out all the points you want to mention and then you yellow highlight everyone one of them.

[lyonsphotography]

I always love how you give the non-sugar coated look at new cameras.

[kaspergaram]

Wow, this actually seems like a true hybrid camera. It seems to be full-on both photo and video. Two cameras in one. Great job Canon

[Suroky]

I think Cannon missed the boat not including IBIS that can be switched off.

[Scotty-tqqg]

Hi Jared, are you planning on doing a full tutorial and setup on the R5C like you did with the R5? This was very informative on the R5 and useful for initial setup, especially for video! Thank you sir!

[Leoboe]

For the missing IBIS I think an important factor is the cooling. A free-floating sensor is way harder to cool than a locked sensor attached to a cooling-block which I guess is used in this camera. At least that's what Blackmagicdesign argued for it's camera line some years ago regarding IBIS.

[mwarepro]

Cinema cameras don't have IBIS (Arri, Red, Blackmagic, Z Cam etc), because they usually sit on a tripod / dolly / crane / stabiliser. There are not many "handheld" shots (compared to all other) in cinema.

[DNdavidsonsnation]

I do prefer not having the wobbly IBIS unless it can be turned off and keep the lens IS on which isn't the case right now. This camera is totally perfect to me. The only thing is I would have preferred something in a FX3/a7siii form factor but i can do with it. *chef kiss*

I was gonna order R5 C but lack of IBIS & Micro HDMI port just killed that deal for me.
I will go with Nikon Z9

[philipbloom]

Glad you respected the embargo! It’s a shame Canon USA didn’t with their two videos! 😂😂😂😂

[the.jonfernandez]

I don’t think I’ve been on set where the cam operator would have ibis turned on (most cinema camera don’t have ibis I think). If this is meant to be more of a “cinema” camera then you would think the people using it would have it rigged up in a cage, on a gimbal, dolly etc. so I’m sure Canon didn’t want to make it more expensive for a feature that the target market won’t even use

[cristiantoma]

IBIS actually means that the sensor simply floats and it's corrected electronically. Thus, there is no "turn off" feature. There is only "stabilize" and "no stabilization active".

[JamesJacksonFilmz]

Hey Jared. fellow Philly. Normally IBIS is removed for video because it’s impossible for them work properly with Built in ND filters. Which is what makes this decision even more confusing. Why remove the IBIS but not put in NDs is really confusing.

[KeithSklower]

Just because it has a fan doesn't necessarily mean that it is any less weather sealed than the regular r5. In the Panasonic S1H, for example, the cooling chamber only has the fans and an exposed area of heat sink. So, yes, you have to have a (probably caulked) port for a wire to run the fan, but this also true for the wiring to the flippy screen. If you examine the B&H page for the regular R5, there is no mention of weather sealing on the body either. Doesn't mean it doesn't have it!

[danivar]

Without IBIS they really should've added internal ND filters.

[SeanColey]

I stayed up for this 📷
(4 AM in California)
No IBIS? Lame.
Everything else: Sweet.

[taurinh]

I was getting ready to get a c70, but this is making me consider an r5c now. The ibis isn't a deal breaker for me as I've never relied on it in a camera, I used rigs and gimbals when needed. I like the fact that it's a hybrid photo and video. The DGO on the c70 is still making me lean that way as I may stick with my EOS r for photos and have it as a separate camera.

[thebrandalorian]

Interesting price point. I hope we continue to see this kind of variety of RF bodies. Maybe stills cameras on par with the Rebel line for people just jumping into the new system. And bundle the damn adapters! 😂

[klausdonath]

I think the reason for not having IBIS is the fan itself. The airflow would move the sensor a tiny bit (IBIS sensors are not fixed that stable).

[jpeltzphotodesign]

The 8k60 is an interesting prospect, but I would rather have had IBIS and a full sized HDMI port… I’ll stick with my R5 until the R1 comes out.
