Nice! Yup, that’s what I would love to do but my 15-35 RF is the main lens I use so it wouldn’t work for me. Still might look into one of those for when I use my EF glass. Thanks for watching!

Sounds like a cool trip idea.. 👀

There are videos on YT and the 5RC still a better cameras for Hybrid shooters

Agreed! I have an r6 mark ii and it pairs great as a b cam to the r5c. But yeah, completely switched to shooting video on the r5c. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo dude I was going to upgrade the Mark 1 but for I will get I’ll hold it. I saw a handful of your videos taking about the Mark2. Love your vids dude and keep on creating!

Thanks so much! That’s awesome, how’d you like it? Loving it so far!

I want to say yes, but I haven't done a side by side since I've been swamped with client work. Would be a good video idea. Definitely if you shoot in the RAW video, but I think even in the clog3 regular modes too. Like the highlight roll off is nicer and smoother. Thanks for watching!

Nice! What kind of video work do you shoot with it?

Yup, definitely would be doing that if I didn’t have the 15-35 RF! But would still work great for my other EF glass too. Thanks for watching!

Glad to hear it! It's a great camera for sure. What kind of work are you going to be using it for? I need to add it to my gear list for sure, here it is! amzn.to/4cShhEn

Nice! That’s probably one of the higher end mirrorless cameras by canon I never really looked into. I bet it’s a beast though! Just wish all their cameras had the same video mode as the R5C. Tough to go back getting used to having waveform, false color, and all the cinema settings

Thanks! Oh wow, haven't tried that. Bummer it doesn't work though! Yeah, I actually found myself only swapping batteries once yesterday during a shoot when I had it on a gimbal since I already had the v mount battery ready on my tripod for something else, lasted long enough too. Yeah, I normally like using a CPL filter especially for RE so that's where an internal ND would be best but true! Thanks for watching!

Nice, I have a friend of mine that loves Lumix, and uses those cameras for his wedding business. I simply started with Canon years ago, and I’ve stuck with them since! Thanks for watching

Great question !! I think either camera can do both, really well. But for an easier workflow and convenience, I'd pick the R6 Mark II. For most of my career I've always had only one camera, and for the time I had only the R6 mark ii, it could do it all! I just came to the point where I would do shoots where I needed a second body and it became easier to have one camera rigged for video, and the other for photo. I'd pick the R6 mark ii to do it all because of the sensor stabilization that's amazing for photos, the way better battery life is a big reason for both photo & video, and a few other perks. Now, that's not to say that the R5C can't do both because it obviously can, but you need an external better solution for video shoots, no IBIS, and a bit bigger body than the R6 ii. So for one camera solution, I'd say the R6 mark ii would be best. Thanks for watching!

I appreciate your detailed answer!! Wish you all the best!!

Awesome, thank you! Appreciate it greatly

Thanks for sharing your insights! I thought about that but I really use my 15-35 RF almost entirely so I couldn't use a drop in filter adapter. Yeah thought about that too but I just love that the vmount gives me all day battery, and sometimes I've needed it too! And it's been so nice now having even longer battery life than I've ever seen used to. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo How heavy is the entire setup camera+lens+vmount+battery+gimbal?

That would be great combo for an awesome photo camera + b cam! Thanks for watching

Niceee! Yeah my R6 mark ii pairs great as a b cam to the r5c too. Still learning about it too! Thanks for watching

You're welcome, glad it was valuable!

Yup, looks great honestly! But ya, the C70 image is fantastic. Thanks for watching!

What do you mean by raw? Because when we shoot raw on the camera, it automatically defaults to 8k raw lt or st, and the 4k xfavc codecs aren’t available

@@AndreiRestrepo I meant xfavc clog3. My mistake.

Bummer, wish you had a secret trick for me! Haha. But yeah even the 4k mp4 modes are plenty for me and the work I do.

Really?? Why is that? 🤔 I think it would be tough for me to pick the R5C over the C70 in some cases if I had both. Especially the extra dynamic range and just filmic image you get from it! But same for other scenarios where I would definitely pick the R5C. Thanks for watching!

Yeah, mostly for the reasons you listed: full-frame, small & nimble, not always needing ND filters or XLR inputs.

Nice, I had the first r6 for about a year, still a great camera! Even though I have 8K capabilities with the r5c, I never use it right now. File sizes are massive, computer struggles a bit to run it, and the 4k is oversampled from it so looks just as good pretty much! Yeah, interested to see what the r5 mark ii will offer!

Yes! While I haven't used something like a Shinobi, any monitor I've used the screen can stay on. You can also send the BT709 or CMT709 preview lut over to a monitor which is really accurate, sometimes looks better than using monitor prebuilt ones or even your own LUTS. Full control over it, unlock the r6 mark ii I have like you mentioned. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo awesome. Sounds like an awesome upgrade. Plus I like that you can have wave forms and false colour built in for run and gun situations without an external monitor. After using those features it's hard to go back to using the histogram. If only it had built-in NDs. I am in the same boat as you with RF glass and wanting to utilise those lenses so it might be the nisi true colour variable NDs. Great video as always.

Yesss I know! Looks pretty interesting!

Thanks! For sure, I just adapted a small rig vmount plate to it and it works! amzn.to/3xm356L

I used xfavc in the beginning too but it's not necessary for me, and my computer can run the files faster in the mp4.

Thanks so much! I used this - easy to adapt to the gimbal! amzn.to/49WNA3L

thanks a lot! is there a way to use this when we don't use a gimbal?@@AndreiRestrepo

I totally feel you! Those were my biggest gripes with the R6 mark i. Jumping to the R6 mark ii fixes a lot of those. Never have OHing in any modes, no record limit, and 24mp photos a little better for cropping. Bummer about the monitor though, I think that still is the case. R5C obviously is phenomenal in the video dept, and for a stills camera too. Only drawback is no stabilization for photos on the R5C if the lens doesn't have any. But to answer your question, yes pretty happy with this setup! Super versatile for anything I need. Thanks for watching!

Great question honestly! Still the R5C based on what I've seen for the R5ii. For the R5C, it has a built in fan, so no extra battery grip that seems like you'll still have to use with the R5ii to avoid OHing. The cinema operating system, which IMO is sooo much better than video system in the regular mirrorless cameras. And the fact that the r5ii is around $1K more plus however much in accessories for the new batteries and additional grip. Definitely would be nice to have clog2 in the R5C though, but it's not a big deal since the image looks great. I think I'm missing a few things but that's a few points for the R5C! How about you? What are you thinking?

@AndreiRestrepo man oh man I have no idea what sort of freaky things may take place beetween my bank account and canon in the next couple of weeks 😅. So here's my story. I'm still learning and in a spot we're I'm doing all of my work on the side mostly for no monetary gain just want the experience and some real life scenarios behind me. I purchased the R8 last year and have had nothing but issues OHing and error70 they replaced my first one and now the second one is back at canon with the same issues they are going to be crediting me a dollar amount we discussed that is slightly more than what I paid for the R8. The work I have done and the work that I enjoy falls perfectly in the middle beetween photo and video. Budget is not to much of a concern but also don't want to throw money out the window. I purchased smaller equipment such as the ronin rs3 mini because it worked great with the R8 "don't know if it would work with the R5C" and I just want something that is reliable and future proofed. I have a ton of learning to do still and so far just thoroughly enjoying my time with a camera in my hands so in all honesty I'm looking for an opinion here

Hey Christian! I think the R5C offers more than the R6 mark ii since it’s more video oriented and the same photo capabilities, but they’re both great. One determining factor would be how knowledgeable you are with cameras, photography basics, and all that! R5C being a cinema camera has a lot more of a learning curve compared to the r6 mark ii which is much easier to learn. If you’re new to this stuff, I’d go for the r6 mark ii. If you’ve used those before and are familiar with them and looking for more, I’d say the r5c would be the next step! Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo brother thanks for the detailed reply. Your videos are awesome by the way. I binged watched like 10 of them last night lol. I’m new to cameras but know the basics. Sounds like the R6 ii would be best starting out. I have the Sony a7iv but it doesn’t work for real estate because of the 1.5 crop at 60FPS.

Ahh I see! I have a few members in my community that use it with a specific lens. I remember exactly what it is but I think it’s a 9mm Laowa lens and that way with the crop factor it gets them to a regular wide angle look in 4k60! Might be worth looking into before changing systems

@@AndreiRestrepo awesome I’ll check that out! To be honest I was looking for an excuse to switch to Canon. 😂 I think the colors are better, af is better, ergonomics better, screen and menu are better! If I were to sell my Sony A7IV, do you have any recommendations on websites to post on besides Facebook marketplace?

Yup, and external vmount setup mounted on my gimbal! And if I’m doing a long shoot on a tripod or handheld, this is the adapter I use that I also managed to get on the gimbal - amzn.to/3VY8OIH But also a strong power bank would work, plugging directly into a wall, or just keeping it in power saving mode and constantly switching out batteries! Thanks for watching

Glad to hear it, welcome! 😄

Hey there! I use the 15-35 for photos, and most of my video work! Having a wider focal length on a gimbal typically works best. Nice, I used to have a 5k mark iv, on of my favorite photo cams ever. If I’m being honest, I think this could actually be overkill or have a bit of a learning curve if you were to hand this off to a second shooter, even if they’re familiar with canon. Unless they are familiar with the canon cinema line, operating it could be quite difficult for them at first. For something like you’re talking about, I’d actually look at the R5, or the R6 mark ii. I have the r6 mark ii as my primary photo camera and b cam for video, and it’s great for that. And trust me, once you get a chance to use the newest AF capabilities in the new mirrorless line, it’ll be hard to go back to the 5d4, it’s next level! I’d say the R5C are for those that are wanting to deep dive into video and possibly looking to rig this out since you need battery solutions and stuff like that. Thanks for watching!

It’s the crane 4!

@@AndreiRestrepothank you

It’s just the cinema operating AF for video, which isn’t the snappy mirrorless style AF we’re used to. Honestly prefer it! Yeah the battery like is something you have to work around but on power saving mode, it’ll last pretty decently too. Doesn’t affect me since it’s always rigged up and plugged into the wall or a vmount battery though. Thanks for watching!

Interesting, haven’t run into that! I pretty much leave shutter angle at 180 all the time so never think about adjusting it

@@AndreiRestrepo I'm sure you will run into it at some point lol. Especially if you're doing a lot of corporate gigs. The R5C has a anti flicker video mode but that adjusts really slowly and doesn't clearly indicate what the Hz should be set to for the 180° rule. Most of the information I found from Canon states that the hzs should be double the framerate. There is conflicting information out there though.

Really? It’s a phenomenal video camera! It’s a true hybrid camera for me honestly. And yes, exact same photos as the R5, just no sensor stabilization.

Yup, pretty much! Adds a good amount of weight though. Lately I've been trying actually having it pn a sling strap and running the cable to the camera. So basically not having it attached to the gimbal to make it lighter. That's been working well too!

@@AndreiRestrepo Awesome, Thank you

Awesome video idea !

I don't since I have it plugged in USB-C I don't have another port available to plug it into the gimbal, but I don't mind pressing record on the camera. I'll consider the video request, thanks for watching!

As in like external recording out? I’m sure it can, I just don’t have an external recorded to try that out

Haha hope you have a pretty powerful computer and tons of storage! The great thing about this camera is you can still shoot in the 4k 10 bit modes, and you'll pretty much still get the same look, just without the same raw capabilities. But if you expose correctly and nail your WB, you don't really need RAW. But yeah you definitely have it if you need it! Thanks for watching

Correct! Great combo with the r5c. Thanks for watching!

Are you using either system now? Or have a preference on either? I haven’t used the z9 but it is quite pricier than the r5c. I just think if you already have lenses for either system, stick with that one unless you’re looking to switch. I also think the r5c has less of a learning curve and is a lot more familiar with others, like tons of content on it you can easily look up. I think with either of those cameras you don’t “need” a 2.8 lens, just helps with low light scenes of course. But I imagine both cameras have good enough low light performance. I shot on an f/4 lens for years so yeah you’d be fine! Thanks for watching

@@AndreiRestrepo thank you for nice information. I haven’t have any camera and lens ? I am planning to buy new one . I am just back and forth about what should i do ? Should I buy Nikon or canon lol ? What’s your opinion about this situation? Thanks

I’d maybe rent both and try them out! Canon has an easier leaving curve, more lens selections especially with EF glass and the adapter, and more affordable than the z9. I would even look at the r6 mark ii instead if I was just getting started.

I see that you answered this question about halfway through the video but when I shoot in raw I change it to C log 3 in the effect controls because otherwise I don't really like the noise profile in my Lut makes the colors look weird.

Yeah, it’s not like shooting in clog2 on a c70 or other cinema camera for example. What LUTS are you using? LUTS specially made for clog3 and clog2?

@@AndreiRestrepo Yes I downloaded luts directly from Canon. Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to double check my download file. I just found out that Cannon has different websites for different regions and I might have downloaded it from outside the US.

I swear by Phantom LUTS! A lot better highlight roll off and nicer colors than canons. I’m an affiliate and have them linked in my description but that’s honestly not why I’m bringing them up, they just work great.

Hey! Honestly, I would use the EOS R till I've out grown it. But focus on learning all the photos basics on it and then upgrade. Like composition, video settings, story, editing, etc. Upgrading cameras will just give you more resolution and LOG, which is definitely worth it, but not so much in the beginning in my opinion. Have you looked at the R6 mark ii? Amazing hybrid camera for photo & video, much more affordable too!

@@AndreiRestrepo thanks a lot i was looking for something with high megapixel and good video thanks a lot your advice helped me out

Thanks for watching!

I think the 4k is sharper in the R5C if I’m not mistaken since it’s oversampled from the 8k sensor, vs the R6ii is oversampled from the 6k sensor. Regardless, they’re both incredibly sharp! Do you ever run into overheating with the R6ii? I haven’t at all in my year of having one. The digital IS is actually pretty good too in the R5C, especially with IS lenses. Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo the 4k60p on r5c is not oversampled but lineskipped, but the 4k 24 and 30p are oversampled from 8k. Some other person made a comparison of the r5 and r6ii. Yes I get overheating in the r6ii in 4k60p, I prefer to do everything in 4k60p so I can slow down if necessary. I need as much stabilization as possible when out and about I have ibis and is lens and digital stabilization on. I have a gimbal I barely use because it's not practical for my videos.

Really?? Can you share that video? I thought it was all the 4k modes. I guess I could also just shoot in the 7-8k mp4 video modes if I really wanted too. That’s crazy, I shoot almost everything in 4k60 too on the R6ii and never had, or even attempted too, even for long shoots. Latest firmware update? Standby enabled?

@@AndreiRestrepo search for "Alex Pizarro Canon r5 vs r6ii" he does a comparison in all the fps modes.

@@truthseeker6804 I believe that is the original R5 not the R5c - all frame rates are oversampled up to 60fps

Thanks, appreciate it greatly!

Nice!! Yeah it’s a great camera. Do you shoot your RE photos on it too? Thanks for watching!

@@AndreiRestrepo I do. It’s one of the main reasons why I bought it. I found myself zooming in and finding that the 6D Mark ii wasn’t measuring up. The R5C has almost double the megapixels 🥰

Nice! I typically have the r5c rigged for video and then I use my r6 mark ii for RE/photo work since 24mp is plenty for me. But I love using the r5c for portrait/headshot work!

@@AndreiRestrepo Dude, I hear you. I also rig it out for video. It is a bit daunting but the quality is worth it. This is truly a hybrid camera, meant for both serious photographers and cinematographers. I'm sticking with it for now, who knows what the future holds. Speaking of, I am waiting for 2 R7s in the mail, as we speak. I do a lot of interviews, TED talks, live events, weddings, etc... (basically, not having a record limit is dope). It's 32 MPs and films in Clog3 as well so you can very closely match the color science and image quality of the R5C... #EcoSystemSwag

Oh nice! Yeah I used the R7, great camera! 🤙🏻
