I also tried the 4K 120fps in XF-AVC mode and the AF performance was way better. In 8K the autofocus was struggling a bit as it was rather dark with quick movements. When it comes to autofocus, I tested the R5c in rather low light in my friend’s aforementioned restaurant, both in 8K and 4K 120fps. With dual native ISO at 800 / 3200 in clog3 and 400 / 1600 in BT709. The sensor that also delivers the 45MP still that I love so dearly from the R5 also has Canons well-known Dual-Pixel CMOS autofocus.
CANON R5C LUT MP4
MP4 for quick edits and also HVEC files as well. I know this format already from the C70 and I love it. Another great aspect is, that the r5c gives you XF-AVC 4:2:2 in 10-bit which is wonderful, compact and great to grade. But still, you get 8K from a camera for under 5000€ – which is pretty great. If you want to go higher than that, you have to invest in some rather expensive CF express cards that go for 500€ +.

256GB gave me about 30 minutes of recording time. RAW lite is great because it saves you some recording space on your CF express cards. And I am big fan of quick grading of your footage. Just go into your RAW settings and put it to BT709 and C-Log3 and boom, amazing grading. You don’t even have to apply a LUT to make it look good. But back to the R5C: The 8K Raw just looks so good straight out of cam.
CANON R5C LUT UPDATE
Canon will come out with a firmware update to the C70, where you will be able to shoot RAW Lite in 4K, I am looking forward to that.
CANON R5C LUT FULL
But Canon told me, that RAW only works using the full sensor, so for the R5C, it will stay at 8K. Sadly not in 4K, which would be the absolute best thing ever. Speaking about 8K RAW – The r5c gives you 3 different RAW shooting modes: HQ, normal and lite in 8K. Which we would have wanted already in the R5, but maybe it would have been a real overkill to pack that all in a small body like this. No more overheating and record limits in any of the settings because of the added fan. A full cinema menu with great features.3 different RAW options in 8K – especially RAW lite in 12-bit is amazing.The R5c differentiates itself from the R5 for me in these 4 main areas

You probably heard the specs of the R5c already and that it is basically a jacked-up version of the R5 with a fan. So for all of you watching who are photo first, let me spare you the time, stick to the classic R5. When it comes to video, I love to use the R5’s 4K capabilities and shoot in C-Log 3. I am a photographer mainly and am shooting the Canon’s R5 since it came out 2 years ago. Also, I am doing this review with the purpose of showing an overview of the camera’s capabilities for a hybrid-shooter, this is not an in-depth review of the technical aspects. They do not get to see the video before it is finished. Is it the all new hybrid-camera we wanted from Canon? Let’s see.ĭisclaimer: Canon Austria and Foto Kücher made this pre-production model of the R5c available to me.

And one of the few cameras out there that deliver 8K video in RAW at 60 frames per second – and under a price tag of 5000€. T he new Canon R5c is a mirrorless camera with video as its priority.
