Customer Ratings & Reviews

Truly impressed with this camera. I chose the Canon R5 C for it's video capabilities. Having the EOS Cinema operating system makes shooting video flow a lot better, I don't spend so much time digging through the menu for a specific setting, I have all the buttons programmed for my most commonly used settings. This camera has seen a lot of improvements from firmware updates over a few years and it's an absolute bargain with it's recently discounted price. Oh yeah, and it's a professional photo stills camera if you switch it over to the R5 photo operating system. I bought it with the Canon RF24-70mm F2.8 L IS USM lens, and this lens is incredible. I find that I prefer the optical stabilization in the lens rather than having IBIS. I came from using the Fujifilm X-H2s and so it had IBIS and I didn't have any stabilized lenses. It's autofocus has seen a lot of improvement in the video side in firmware updates, AF performance wasn't really something I was too concerned with, I like using vintage Contax Zeiss lenses that are manual. But I was really surprised with the AF performance in video. The AF in the Fujifilm cameras was never really great, so it's a very welcome addition to this camera system.

This is such a true hybrid camera in todays world. All thw bideo features im used to coming from black magic (BMPCC6k) with the full prodessional photo features. Im a photigrpaher first but always been fascinated with video as it it basically a lot of oicturebin one haha. Also, video was oaying me more at the time. Im coning from t6i on the photo side so this I a huge upgrade. I shot my bmpcc in all types of formats from social media (vertical), event recaps, convert highlights, weddings, doc and interview and run and gun work. Everything manual of course and I absoultetly loved it. Still do. I just wish it could have been used for photos (it fan but not like traditional photo camera). I literally stopped offering photographs because seeing the quality from bmpcc6k image couldbt compared to t6i without a studio photo shoot feel. BOOM, I knew the r5c was the one for me. Took me some time to finalky get it but it is exaclty what I knew I needed. Went ahead with the 24-70. My first full fram camera. Havent shot a large scale video on it yet but pretty fun for video. Photos are a no brainer. Much more professionak looking than shooting with my iphone 15 pro which honestly took beautifuk pics at 48mp I think but nothing beats an actual camera. Excited to get norw work on this. Glad I can just take on camera now for regukar recarp events to capture both contents if needed and I still have my bmpcc6k as b cam. Love the dual recording too. Peace of mind for professional paid gigs (or anything honestly lol). If I didnt do video to start with, I probablt would have hone with the r6ii because it is about 1k cheaper but I genuinely used things like false color and wanted to experiment with the 8k resolution for things like the digital crops to expand on some of my lenses as I work on getting this expensive rf glass. Focusing is beautiful. For photos, one or two batteries will get you through a day. Video, you can shoot 4k h265 60fps for maybe 30 minutes. Def recommend external battery (npf or vmount) if you are planning on really shooting but the option is there if you want to have light weight. Just bo 8k or raw recording without external battery. If you just photos but want video maybe, id recommend r6ii or even r5ii but if youre like me coning from video oriented side like bmpcc6k and actually used those features, just get it. Youll already be used to righing things up for video anyway so it no big problem fr.
