Compact and lightweight, the EOS R5 C is an advanced hybrid camera, blending video formats and features from the Cinema EOS line-up with the still-imaging capabilities of the EOS R5 camera. If the EOS R5 can be considered to be THE camera for stills, then the R5 C is THE camera for video.
It's the smallest, most versatile Cinema EOS camera yet. From seamless 8K video workflows, to high-speed, high-quality stills, the EOS R5 C offers a multitude of shooting options and formats.
Its hybridity is marked by the inclusion of not just one menu system, but two. The power on switch of the EOS R5 has been adapted so that the camera has two distinct modes: Photo and Video. By making the switch, you also change the menu system, with Photo offering the standard stills menu from the EOS R5, and Video offering the Cinema EOS menu system. This is the first time this dramatic change of operating menus has been deployed in a single Canon camera body.
Combining key features of the Cinema EOS and EOS R systems, it’s a camera
designed to withstand all sorts of environments. The robust magnesium
alloy body has been specially designed to run for long periods thanks to an active cooling system –
you can see the distinct ‘exhaust vents’ on the sides of the camera.
You can record non-stop 8K 30p internally, and this can be extended to 60p by means of attaching an external power supply. There's a wide variety of recording formats and different formats can also be recorded at the same time. Canon Log 3 is available as standard.
The EOS R5 C also benefits from an extra socket over the R5 – a Timecode input/output terminal, which is invaluable for synchronising with other cameras.
It shares all of the key benefits of recent EOS technologies: Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with EOS iTR AF X for optimal focusing and tracking; the powerful DIGIC X processor; in-body image stabilisation (IBIS); subject detection for people, animals and motorsports; highly customisable functionality, with 13 buttons and dials which can be tailored to suit the way you shoot.
The EOS R5 C is expected to be available from the end of March 2022 for an RSP of £4499.99.
