I considered buying for a short while, but that's like buying a house in some places

How you like your R5c so far? I'm thinking to get one.

@@alexandrosmargo552 superb image quality in video and photo modes. I absolutely LOVE the separation of video menu from photo menu. This camera eats batteries like I’ve never seen. It’s unfortunately next to impossible to get it to record 8K 60 without all kinds of extra battery power cables attached. But overall, by far the best video/photo hybrid camera I’ve ever used.

@@JonRawlinson I use a xiaomi powerbank 20,000 mah - 60$, connected to ronin and works for a long time

what dummy battery and external battery are you using?

Enter the C70…the internal ND is fantastic

Get c70

Is your camera on the latest firmware? Wondering if they’ve fixed issues with autofocus for the r5c

@@ksyutang after I updated the firmware it works much better however sometimes in lower light it will hunt until I tell it where to focus.

Ditto use-case but mine hasn’t arrive yet 🙁 edited , but wait it arrived two weeks ago fully agree with your comments 😀

Random thoughts. The 7 series of cameras have always produced still images that I love - e.g., extending the 135/2 to 216 or whatever. I'd buy an R7 in a heartbeat for that reason alone, but I'd keep the R6.

@Potato Jet, is this a scam ?

Yeah I’ve got a 1TB cFast for my BlackMagic 6K Pro and it's been great. I've never filled it on a shoot.

I currently own a Canon EOS R3, I use it mainly for videography purposes at weddings. Let's just say it's an insanely good camera but I wouldn't personally say it's insanely better than the R5/R5C to warrant such a price hike. I've used the R5C, R5, R6 and own an A7S III for my gimbal. The R5C/R5 are pretty close in terms of video to the R3, granted the R3 has greater battery endurance and could last me hours just shooting video, the R5C/R5 would require me to have multiple LP-E6N on hand to get through a full day of shooting. I use 4K 120fps in camera on my R3 handheld and damn does it kick some ass, I've used 4K 120fps on my A7S III using handheld, and although it's good I feel that the in camera stabilization is just far better and more polished with the R3. I would also personally choose the R5 over the R5C for the stabilisation (IBIS vs Electronic IS) reasons as I shoot handheld, as well as the recent update the R5 received which effectively made it useable over long periods of time.

I'm also thinking of upgrading my R6 to an R5/R5C for pro video. Do you miss the IBIS? That's the one thing making me lean towards the R5, especially with the 1.6 update fixing the overheat.

@@fotomaton7852 I would prefer going for R5C, I don't really care about IBIS as it is the reliability of the camera. I just shot my 4 wedding with the R5C and it's a BEAST! And shot all of those weddings handheld (R5C on a rig). No overheating issues at all and the image quality that come out of this camera is crazy. I think you'll love the R5C, plus it's actual cinema camera.

@@trop1calfilm Yeah the cine features are for sure the main draw (exposure assist tools, being able to punch in while recording, LUT import etc) But how about battery life? everyone says it blows, how do you get through an entire wedding? Swap batteries all day or external D-TAP/VMOUNT?

@@fotomaton7852 i use V-Mount battery for the rig and that last a whole wedding

I don't get it either. I understand wanting to reframe, but a good 4k camera can do that and still be used for a 4k delivery and look good.

Yes that is very much correct. At those resolutions you’ll def need clinically sharpen cinema primes

Man just frame the shot how you want to in the first place

It will be limited by the ability of your eye to see the difference between 12k and 68k

No. Limited to clarity of atmospheric pressure

The R7 doesn’t have that audio available that the R5C does using the tascam

i bought a 20 dollar micro vmount plate and rigged it up with a tiny v mount. i put it on top for gimbal and to the back for handheld with a cage. it is actually cheaper than buying a grip and 2 canon batteries.

@@RayValdezPhotography what dummy battery and external battery are you using?

@@JonRawlinson anton bauer dummy . 150wh micro bauer. I did use fxlion but i returned them because they dont show enough info for battery life. I need some that shows time or a percent

@@RayValdezPhotography I tried the core swx dummy battery but it wouldnt work. it seems the r5c only accepts a dummy battery that is LP-E6NH. ugh! thank you!

@@JonRawlinson I had no problem with the core except I think the connection point is weak i would have to replug it. So I returned it. Seems like must dummy batteries are the same and just sent a constant voltage unlike real batteries which is why the battery life displayed on the r5c is wrong.
