i've got a GH5. I've got some native primes like this one you're reviewing, but for a ZOOM, is getting a speedbooster and Canon lens really noticeably better for video work than just sticking with Panasonic or Olmypus lens? Just about to purchase... thanks
just bought a GH5. I thought only Panasonic and Lumix lenses are compatible with these cameras?! e.g. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iVojT66crx4.html
Nice review and comparison. Just to let you know, from my perspective at least, I wasn't using earphones and I could barely spot any difference in sound whilst watching. I'm sure that is how the majority of viewers are watching RU-vid so subtle sound differences are almost irrelevant.
I'm using the R5C and the FX6 for wildlife video and I'm quite tempted by this. With the triple native ISO of the C400 along with the 6k sensor, it just might be the FX6 that goes on the block.
As someone who has the R3, bought it when it first came out, I'm getting the R5MKII. It does all the things I love about my R3, but it's in the smaller body which is preferred on a gimbal, plus it has better video than the R3. The only concern is battery life - the larger battery of the R3 is fantastic and I love how I can easily get through a day with just one battery. The tradeoff of the smaller body and lighter weight is worth the tradeoff of battery life.
Hugh, Great that you explain by aural communication and not by physical comparison of output, which for YT viewing is pretty pointless. Excellent info delivery, thanks!
What is the value of you speculating about the overheating issue if you haven’t actually test the camera. What is the value of that? You are just spreading more cynicism and people may not actually be willing to try due to a misguided distrust? Peter McKinnon has recently put out a great video after ACTUALLY testing the camera in a hot attic and said that he did not run into overheating issues.
@@PictorialWhispers for wildlife, the R5C can be good as it’ll let you shoot 120fps Raw in 3k and it looks fab. Also, you have good high frame rate options which might be better quality than the mk2 frame rates. We don’t know yet. If you want to do photos and video then the R5 will be better as you can record video in photo mode but the switchover in the r5c takes ages.
@@MBVLOGS nice one. 4K HEVC 10 bit 422. 24fps mostly, then maybe 72 or 120 fps 4K for b roll. Graded using a canon log colour transform lut in Resolve.
Pre-ordered the R5 MkII today. Anticipate that the AF and its low light capabilities will be a great improvement over the previous version, though it's a little pricey
Eventually the R5C will become history and retired. It was Canon's answer to the overheating. Its became a mere place holder while Canon worked on the R5II and improve it with a new stacked sensor. Makes no sense for Canon to use resources to manufacture another R5C. Canon has paired the R5II video menu system to the their C400 series cameras. I suspect there will be time code via HDMI since they chose for the full size HDMI vs a dedicated time code port.
Hello, finder is not bigger just look at the specs, the R1 is a lot bigger but not the R5II 76% FF sensor view is not the much still lower than everything on the market. the haousing is for sure bigger and confortable but just to accomodate ir sensors from the eye af, just say that so you don't find that it is actually the same image size in the viewfinder, so it is actually the same size as the R6 R6MKII R5 R5C R3. Hope the brightness increase is really a thing on the R5II
Hi Hugh, I enjoyed watching that video. Like you, I have the R5 and I have ordered the R5II. For me, there are serious improvements in a lot of areas when it is compared to the R5, which is still and will continue to be a great camera. I recall watching your video in relation to the RF 200-800 and as far as I can recall, you cancelled your order. I have one and it is an outstanding lens for wildlife photography and videography. I traded the RF 100-500 against it and I have no regrets. I use the RF 1.4 extender with it at times and it works really well. I have it since April and even of these dull cloudy days I have no difficulty shooting images at 1600 iso or even 3200 iso without any issue. I thinks it is a fantastic lens. It took a bit of getting used to in the beginning. Regards and thanks for the video.
@@HuFilms They are pretty redundant now that the cameras are released, and pretty much say things that don't make much sense having never touched the cameras. Pure speculations
@@DreamReleases I’ve used an R5 for 4 years and an R5C for 2 years as my main cameras. I’ve also had the EOS R before that for 2 years and over the previous 5 years had various Canon DSLR’s. I’ve ordered the new R5MK2 and if I feel like making a video about it, I will. Im actually going to make another video before I get it, maybe more. So it could be a good time for you to exit the building.
I’ll probably keep my R5 and spend the money on some new glass. To keep things in perspective, the jump from 5d4 to R5 was a different planet. To R5 II though as someone who takes photos as a hobby and does a little video… the R5 is still fantastic. Apart from long exposures, mine is riddled with hot spots. I was actually thinking of complimenting my R5 with a Panasonic GH7 because it opens up a world of cheaper lenses. And when you’re not making money or claiming VAT, money matters.
Thanks but lately a few times I felt it sounded richer when it was positioned like that. Yeah, it's probably fine on the strap, I don't think it matters hugely.
Thanks a lot. Yeah, I'm getting nice results with colour on the R5C. Always use the col. conversion node and sometimes I'll drop the range a bit on a node before it, to make sure all the highs and lows are intact.
Awesome! Thank you! The compositions in the forest area are also very cool! I'm afraid to sell my R3 and switch to the R5 Mark II because I shoot a lot of night street photography and don't know how good the R5 II is going to be compared to the R3.
@@TheDominicballard96We are the upgrade bros! First time mirrorless camera. Will you be shooting more pics or video? I’ll be doing mostly video. I will however challenge myself to take more and better photos with this new camera! 📸
I’ll order until I know for sure the 4K 60 is not line skipped, that’s what I use the most on my R6 on my wedding shooting, I’m very excited about C-Log 2 and upgraded AF performance, with 4K 60 over sampled this camera will be a beast!!!
120 I think would be great for weddings too. The RAW 120 in S16 mode on the R5C looks really cool. It's a 3k image. If you don't have an R5C, maybe look into it as an option also.
@@HuFilms I’ve done 120 with the a7s3 and the R5 both rented for different projects and in my opinion it doesn’t work for me is too slow, I think 60 is the sweet spot for what I do, the continuity feels much smoother and engaging or I don’t know how to explain it you know, I just hate Sony colors, and I love the 4K 60 better on the R6 compared to the R5s, is much sharper and better in low light performance, I might have wait and try it out once it comes out, but for the damn 4,500 price tag with taxes, we shouldn’t expect promises in firmware updates,
always appreciate your R5C content! just curious, why don’t you consider the S&F mode + audio mode on the R5C the same thing as 4k120 with audio? it’s not ideal that it records to the SD slot for the audio but it works fine . also, I actually prefer it pre-slows down the footage (vs the 4k120 in the R5II shooting 4k120 as “realtime” 120 and requiring slowdown in post, from what I’ve seen) anyway, after almost two years with my R5C, it would take a lot to get me to upgrade to a new R5 camera. really hoping this new battery unlocks a bunch of power improvements for the R5C 🤞🏼🤞🏼
Yeah, good point here. The pre-slowed footage is a nicer way to work, I agree. To be honest, i completely overlooked that SD audio feature you just mentioned.
@@HuFilms my bad, was assuming you knew the audio option was there 😉 works pretty well! it is buried at the end of the shooting mode options though. man I love this camera
The R5II is a great upgrade for the R5, but not the R5C. For video I don't think there's going to be a massive improvement and for all modes from 4k50p up the R5II is line-skipped and not downsampled like the R5C (except 120p). Looks like the only improvements over the R5C is autofocus and IBIS, but then you lose so much eg cinema OS, no overheating etc. And I wonder if they'll have the face only priority AF mode that the R5C has I rely on that all the time for my talking head video. I'm hoping there'll be an R5CII at some stage p.s 'get to the choppa'!
Yeah, I agree, but some official sources are saying the higher frame rates ARE downsampled. Including the official Canon video on the CVP website, here in Europe which is the biggest outlet I think. Fingers crossed! Glad you liked the impression!
@@HuFilms According to Josh Sattin on RU-vid the 4k50p and above is all line-skipped. I tried to link the Canon pdf file here but for some reason it won't let me. I think CVP might have made an error here as the documentation Josh was referring to is an official Canon document
Years ago I had an R5 and then it overheated on a shoot. It wasn’t good. Got the R5C and filmed in scorching heat for hours with no hiccups. Ever since, I’ll sacrifice image quality or dynamic range or other non essentials for reliability. But I get others aren’t in the same situation as me. 😉
Thanks for this video. I’m still using my EOS R 😅. However, I was looking into the R5C as I’m now more into video than photos. The two downsides for me on 5C was low light and the HDMI oh and the battery 🪫 😫. So now I’m really considering R5ii, R5C or stay with my R until R5C ii arrives while I presume Canon will fix those issues. Video mode for specific things I use Ninja V when recording. Certainly looking forward to real world tests and not canon sponsored folks reading off a script. 😅
Honestly, you're gonna love both coming from the Eos R, it's a giant step up. The 5C is gonna be a lot cheaper than the new R5 and it included the built in fan. Great cam.
R5C is the same really as an R5 in photo mode other than the IBIS. The video capabilities of it are very good. I think it won't be beaten by the R5MK2 in anything other than dynamic range.
@@HuFilms Actually a stacked sensor will improve performance in all modes by about 20% over a regular CMOS sensor. The ceiling for the R5II is much higher than the R5. It has an accelerator component which the R5 does not. The processing speed is simply on another level that the R5 will never be able to achieve.
If you want 8K-RAW 60fps, then the R5MKII is not the way to go. It overheats in this mode after 18 minutes, and after 24 minutes with the ventilated BG. For everything else, I would prefer the R5 MKII, but because I like 8K-RAW 60fps, I think I'll skip the MKII, and keep my R5C.
So, according to this, the €820 grip with the cooling fan, only gives you an extra 4 minutes? I would only ever record short snippets of 8k raw in 60 anyway. I guess we'll know in due course.
@@ChristianChavez3 it can shoot 4K RAW 60fps by using an 35mm part of the sensor and it can also shoot around 2.8k RAW when using 16mm from the sensor and this in 120fps.
@@iliaskapatos I appreciate the quick reply. Well since it can do that I think I’ll go ahead and purchase the R5C instead of the R5 MK II. I’m not really to worried about the IBIS. I like using a gimbal in general so that should be fine to me.
@@HuFilms I am replacing my R5 with the MKII due to my R5 being used as a toy gun when the nephews came by the house when I was out on a shoot using my C70 last year. Apparently it was dropped or thrown down the stairs with my 85 1.2 attached
@@pickleydoo It's unlikely the R5C would have sold as much as the R5, I would imagine. I'm not sure if Canon have a plan to update it but they really should. At best it'd be next year. They wouldn't have to do much, all they really need is to put the new sensor into it and maybe include the c-log. But when the R5 2 is now more capable, the lines are crossing a bit, so it's pointless having a camera that's almost similar. They should maybe make it bigger, with a larger fold out screen and more capable battery solution.
