I’ve had the R5C for a year now & it’s an absolute beast, I use it as the A cam along with my R6 as the B cam. I’m happy to see that you gave it a great review!!
I have the r5c, its an absolute beast. Amazing camera, and highly underrated. People dismiss it for poor reasons. The capability is insane, glad you enjoy it
I've been using a C70+R5C combo for over a year now. They're really perfect for each other. R5 gives me high resolution image, while the C70 gives me more dynamic range and a more organic image. Both great and it's amazing to have the option for different shoots.
One small thing I noticed about the R5C is how the articulating screen isn’t limited by any cables you may need Coming from the R6 Mark ii it makes a huge difference especially when rigging it up
I love my R5C. I’m usually in the go so the form factor is dope. The battery life is frustrating but there are work arounds. I plan to get the C70 in the future
Love my R5C to date, have had it for about 6 months and although I mainly use it for personal work and family documentary stuff I wouldn't want anything else for the versatility. The photos that it takes are amazing, and the video esp the XFAVC 4k is super easy to edit. I invested in this camera to last me at least 7-10 years and I think it can.
What folks need to know is that 8k is only available in RAW, which means you must use CF type B to handle the HUGE files, which also means you better have a 2022 or newer computer with extra ram and above average graphics card or you wont be able to edit that 8k footage.
Didn't know you lived close to Charlotte! I'm over toward Salisbury. If you ever need a second C70 shooter let me know! I have a C70 and R5 C. Also, use Aputure 600X, 1200D lighting. I use the RS3 Pro too.
What really is amasing with the R5C is that the 4K is oversampled from 8K and not just line skipped. Own the C70, R5C and R3 in my production company. I use the R5Cwith battery grib and tentacle sync with timecode + ND adaptor to ef mount with L EF canon Glas. (and a fx lion for backup in the bag) - not happy with C-log 3 The C70 with the spedboster to EF and tentacle sync... big problem is c.log 3 and the c -log 2 and then the colors... its not the same even that its both canon cinema ... so sad...
I was waiting on your review on this. I have two C70s and keep them rigged for larger projects. I like this R5c, which is a miniature C70. Photo is cool but I need to be faster for me hence sports. I added an Anton Bauer battery to the camera where it sits on top of it. I still plan to use the smaller batteries for quick video grabs (no grip). Those batteries lasted me 30 mins and shot in 4k in power-saving mode. I love the size and don't plan on rigging it out like most people have. I understand it rigging it out if this is all you have.
Try to use the R5C with the 8KStRaw just for a minute and something that has a lot of detail, like a city shot you will be amazed (post with DaVinci Studio (Davinci reads the Raw files with out canon raw)
First of all, great video! Secondly, how long did the battery grip with the 2x lpe6nh last for you? And can you do 8K60 with the grip, or does it have to be via usb power? Thanks
Super powerful camera, and if you don't need Raw the Clog3 with the power save mode isn't that bad on batteries. BUT, if you do want raw you can't use power save mode and if you are using the LP6NH batteries you better have a SHLODE of them with you at the ready. Pre latest update this camera wasn't a great hybrid in the sense that if you wanted to shoot photos AND video on the same day you'd seriously go through 6-10 in a 3-4hr shoot. If you wanted to do photos on one day and video on the other, you were better off, but Now with power save mode you can jump back and forth pretty worry free. And of course you can mitigate almost all of this with a bigger external battery. Who else wants a battery grip that's just one giant massive battery instead of like 70% wasted space?
If you get the battery grip for the double time for filming and rig it out with a V-mount, all you need is a good eye, a good vision and a strong arm tbh
Incredible cameras! I've got both the C70 and the R5c and use them for different shooting situations. Unfortunately "UA-cam" has people so twisted with opinions before they ever touch a camera system that they'll never get a chance to experience for themselves. Obviously everyone is here watching YC for a reason but if you choose not to believe the man go rent one and try it for yourself before you take to the keyboard with the weird negativity.
Even if you do believe me, I encourage everyone to try whatever it is out and form your own opinion after. We’re all different and enjoy/dislike certain things. You have to use whatever works for you at the end of the day.
I think this would be valid if I wasn’t already using the Canon ecosystem before the sponsorship, the camera truly does fit into my workflow seamlessly. Great camera!
Question I’m getting a R5C next month. I’m new to the video editing part and want to know what computer you would recommend for editing 4-8k videos with little lag?
With zoom lenses, as long as it's the RS3 Pro, no issues. The RS2 and RS3 I found weren't strong enough for the weird shaped C70. The lenses make it fall forward a lot and put pressure on the mount/adaptor, so I added a base plate and lens support to make it more of a complete unit. C70 with prime lenses is kinda fine though on the older models, you just about get away with it!
Question!! I have an r6 mark ii and do alot of hybrid shooting. Should i look into getting the r5c as a second body or just replace the r6 mark ii completely
i have recently shifted from 5Dmarkiii to Canon R5C i did back to back interview testimonial videos for 8 hours is there a way to mark the video in camera or rate them while recording those videos. how does it work in R5 do you get option of marking?
If it's just video you're doing, you're gonna love the C70, CLOG2 will give an extra stop of DR, super35 opens you up to a lot of beautiful S35 lenses, NDs, incredible battery life... It kills it for wedding video! So yeah C70 or FX6... 😅
**Edit: YC changed the title! Good on him!** OG Post: Good video man, but the title is misleading. You can’t have an “honest” opinion on a sponsored video by the camera manufacturer. Instead, you can say “comparing…” or “c70 vs r5c…”
I’m not saying you can’t be honest, but if their paying you, you can ONLY be honest, so the title is misleading. I’m just tired of people giving “opinions” on things they have to give positive opinions on because their being paid to do so.
I love your channel and Great video as always. I have the R5C and I kind of regret buying it. Battery is HORRIBLE!!! it’s too stressful to take it on a shoot without rigging it. I rigged mine with rails and VMount battery but then it loses its small factor. Also the micro HDMI is a terrible choice from Canon (I have a cage on mine with cable clamp. I broke 2 cables and had to send R5C to Canon repair because hdmi port broke) also the lack of Clog2 in a “cinema camera” is a big miss. I really wanted to love this camera but it doesn’t get much use.
Yo, fam FINALLY gets a canon sponsorship which is rare especially with him being a black creator and yay demean it by immediately claiming his opinion is now bought or biased. Since I've found this counter over 5 years ago I haven't once seen the same hate or even jealousy on his other sponsored videos. HES BEEN USING CANON GEAR. That was never something secretive or new. So him finally getting recognized by them to earn a sponsorship should be received with praise and congrats. He's been sponsored by many other brands and I don't recall any of you under those videos. If your team Sony that's fine. But let's not demean his success based on nonfactual allegations. remember you're here WATCHING HIM.
I'd actually argue canon raw light, cinemaraw light and blackmagic raw are not real raw. The 4 raw codecs i remember in the market to be real raw with no lossy compression and true 14bit/16bit linear sensor readout are redcode raw, arriraw and n-raw. Everything else is just pseudo-raw to give the freedom of raw without the actual benefits. Want proof? Take an actual RAW photo on your camera and go edit it. Now take a raw video and convert it to dng. Take a good frame and edit it exatcly like the raw photo. If you cannot get a 1:1 match with lower resolutiob, your camera isn't actually shooting raw
I’m gonna disagree with you and a bunch of the other guys in this comment section. This camera is unusable for video due to the battery life. I had anxiety watching the battery drain in standby mode. The reason you’d buy a camera like this and pass on the C70 is because of form factor. What’s the point of having a small mirror less camera if you’re just going to attach a bunch of grips and massive battery packs and make it as clunky as a c70? You might as well buy the c70, get the built in NDs and the better image quality.

battery life is my main issue

Do they still have problems with the stabilization wobble?

R5 gives me high resolution image, while the C70 gives me more dynamic range and a more organic image. Both great and it's amazing to have the option for different shoots.
I have only the R5C, any tips on how to give it a more organic look like the C70? thanks!
Are the colours matched easily? And how is battery life with a grip if shooting only 4k?
@@ThaHawaiiaNuse 1/8 or 1/4 black mist filters

Hard to take this seriously with Canon sponsoring but much love my brother
I think this would be valid if I wasn’t already using the Canon ecosystem before the sponsorship, the camera truly does fit into my workflow seamlessly. Great camera!
The sunset shots look real nice
The video was dope! R5c for the win
I love the R5c
Hello! great Video! Do you think the normal EF to RF Adapter would work for EF lenses on the R5C with the same autofocus quality? thanks!
I have a c300 and r5c and its a weapon for its size, sometimes its too sharp when using it as a b cam
Great break down, I hate the IBIS on my R6 the wobble is horrible
Me too
Yo great vid! What was the bts cam on top of the building on the opening shots??
What top handle are you using the r5c? How did the hotshoe handle the weight and movement
Question I’m getting a R5C next month. I’m new to the video editing part and want to know what computer you would recommend for editing 4-8k videos with little lag?
thxxxx for thisss!!
Nice comparison vid. This is Ty Cooper. Take care
The C70 with that lens and battery actually balances on that gimbal.... no jitters?

We ever gonna see you use the DJI Ronin? Would love to hear your thoughts on it.
Can you make a review on Canon r6 mark 2
Still don’t understand why it doesn’t have Clog2. It’s a cinema camera missing the cinema log profile that all the other cameras have.
Question!! I have an r6 mark ii and do alot of hybrid shooting. Should i look into getting the r5c as a second body or just replace the r6 mark ii completely
i have recently shifted from 5Dmarkiii to Canon R5C i did back to back interview testimonial videos for 8 hours is there a way to mark the video in camera or rate them while recording those videos. how does it work in R5 do you get option of marking?
Which is better for wedding videography ? I’m really lost between C70 and R5c
If it's just video you're doing, you're gonna love the C70, CLOG2 will give an extra stop of DR, super35 opens you up to a lot of beautiful S35 lenses, NDs, incredible battery life... It kills it for wedding video! So yeah C70 or FX6... 😅
the reviews complain about the accuracy of the autofocus. Do you use manual focus?
i need the c200 first ill ad this to the list also looking at blackmagic 6k
Amazing man! As usual with you👏🏻
Quick question… how do you expose with the camera only? Zebras? Thanks 🙏🏻
Are you just happy at the 4k? Also, intra? Long gop?

informative video like the potential of the r5c;
I'm so torn about leaving my EF-M series since I have so many lenses for it.
Love the 5RC but the battery life is terrible. No CLOG2 either.
great video bro!
🙌
great post! Can the R5C do 6k? if so... is that in Super 35? thanks!
I believe it can only do 4k or 8k, both full frame.

Actually you might be able to.
It can do 6k raw hq in super 35 mode
@@YCImaging yeah I didi find out.. ;) I was going to let you know .. 6K in S35. also 3K. cheers!
No CLOG2? Am a Canon shooter but asking that much and branding as a Cinema line but no CLOG2? Terrible! Nice video tho! 👌
Only if you shoot RAW, hope you like 8k RAW files or 6K S35

How is the photo image quality of the r5c compared to the canon r6?
R5c has same photo quality as R5 so pretty stellar ;)
does this thing have that 30 mins limit like my R5?

Honestly don't understand why the battery life is so bad. It's just an R5 with the cinema OS
What a huge diffrence. R5c review from Canon user. To Sony fanboys that borrow it for review. :)
well you can take photos with c70 you just need to chane one button to "photo"
this what i film with
Nice video I value your opinion 👍🏾
Battery life is the cripple hammer.
I cant wait to cross over from the 5dmarkiv.....smh....as soon as my money get right im crossin ova
but i feel like canon c70 is stiil your favorite dream camera :)))
