NEW CANON EOS R5C RUMOR
So there’s something exciting starting to buzz around the interwebs. Canon EOS R5c rumors are picking up traction again after going dormant for all the EOS R3 hype. Can’t wait for this camera to be officially announced. In my opinion, as long as the camera is not limited in any significant way this could be the perfect camera for run-and-gun creators like myself.
According to the rumors this camera will have active cooling, meaning there will be some sort of fan built into the camera. Most likely this fan will be behind the LCD monitor making the camera deeper that the current EOS R5. I’m willing to trade a bit of depth for better video features. We’re also going to see the new multipurpose hot shoe on the R5c giving it the ability to connect with devices like mics without having to physically plug in any wires. Another upgrade over the EOS R5 will be a full sized HDMI port which I’m sure will be a welcomed upgrade for a lot of video shooters. There will also be screw mounts on the top of the camera that will allow a handle to be mounted. I assume there will be some accessories for the handle to make it more functional. And finally the big thin is unlimited 8k 30p recording. Now I don’t have any use to record in 8k for an unlimited amount of time but I do hope that this means I’ll be able to record in 4k HQ for an unlimited amount of time. I’ve been really happy with the EOS R5 as a hybrid shooter but that 30 minute record limit was the bane of my video work existence. If I can get through client work without having to worry about that 30minute record limit I’ll be the first in line to buy an R5c.
Other Thoughts
Here are some more random thoughts on the R5c. Things I didn’t cover in the video. First I would hope that the sensor on the R5c produces the same colors as the R5. I know that the EOS R, R5 and R6 all have slightly different color science and that’s enough to drive a videographer using two cameras crazy. So hopefully both the R5 and R5c line up nicely. Another feature I would like to see on the R5c are tally lights. Since the R5c is a more video focused camera I assume they will be there. I’m pretty sure Canon will never do this but it’s on my wish list. I want to see the on/off switch beside the shutter button. After using other brands I realized how convenient it is to have one handed operation and I’d love to see that come over to Canon. And finally I’d really like to see more codec options. Alright that’s all from me for this found. I’m sure there will be more rumors coming out soon. Stay tuned and subscribe to the channel so you don’t miss the next video.
