Will The Canon R5 Overheat Filming A Wedding?

Wedding filmmaking requires a camera that will film B-Roll in a wide variety of frame rates, as well as continuously record a long wedding ceremony. Is the Canon R5 up to the challenge, or will it overheat and be unreliable? I bought one and put it to the test for wedding videography.

Actually, the R5 is the best selling Canon pro camera to date, they have exceeded expectations and made an announcment about this. R5 is a pro PHOTO camera, NOT a video camera. Anybody who buys it for video only has only themselves to blame. As a pro photographer, if I'd spent $5000 on an A7SIII and then tried to give my clients 12 MP photos, I'd get laughed at, then fired. Should I blame Sony? Sorry, Matt made the mistake, nobody else.

@timeofdeathwas 4 года назад

@@77dris how did he make a "mistake"? The R5 was marketed by Canon as a high end production camera. He literally screen capped the marketing material wherein Canon states this. Canon chose the bed they are lying on. The overheating issue is a crippling situation, especially because it affects the camera even for just shooting photos. If you rationalize that this is an amazing photo camera that Canon overhyped as a video camera... if you are a professional, you still have to ask yourself... can I rely on this item for a full day shoot? The answer seems to be no.

The entire problem seems to be the CF Express card heavily bottlenecks this camera's capabilities. And i'm sure the software is designed to be conservative in protecting against overheating the CF cards as to not damage them. I plan on doing my own test to see if switching cards frequently or if directing airflow towards the card slots when its off boosts recovery time.

There are videos of test done - in which removing the cards and plugging into an external recorder eliminates ALL heating problems even in 8K. So your hunch in on the money!

@MalcolmDebono 4 года назад

Exactly. The C300mkIII (which also shoots on CFexpress cards) constantly emits hot air from its cooling vents and the cards also get extremely hot after use. Although they're very different cameras, they're not that far off in terms of processing (codecs & frame rates) so I fail to see how Canon opted for the R5's build without a proper cooling system in place rather than something closer to the S1H.

Very good testing, thank you. I wonder if you had the chance to try the s35-mode, which is oversampled 4K and not supposed to overheat. I know everybody is panning the R5 as a video tool, but if you think of it as a very good stills camera with a small c200 inside, I think it makes quite a lot o f sense (lack of reliable slo-mo notwithstanding). If the s35 4k turns out to be as reliable as the non HQ 4k, that is.

Your honesty is highly appreciated.

I wouldn't go to a wedding with only the R5 because of this issue. Having a backup (ideally identical to the main camera) is a must. The insulation and weather sealing probably traps heat. WHat happens when you leave the battery door and jack covers open? DO you think they should offer a detachable external heat sink? - Or expose some metal. Amplifiers and speakers have those. Come on! Is it a crazy idea?

As a Canon shooter I agree 100% with your review and conclusions... My feelings are not hurt as I am only interested in facts... Of course I wish it was different but it is what it is.

Also after seeing the improved Sony a7s3 colors and menue there are really less and less reasons to stay with canon after 10 years.

@angela-r 2 года назад

Wow. This is the absolute best review of this camera’s actual capabilities. I’ve been looking for a good camera to film short clips of my hikes. I use the iPhone now but want something with higher quality and good IBIS. Some of my hikes can last 3-4 hours (and also in the hot Texas sun sometimes!) so I definitely want something that will last and not overheat. It’s unbelievable to me that a camera company would release a camera boasting about it’s 4k and 8k abilities, and then basically make those settings unusable for most professionals due to overheating. It sounds like they weren’t really ready to release a camera with those options yet after all - at least until they can resolve the overheating issues. So disappointing.

@srikant.sharma 4 года назад

Appreciate this - but I have several issues with the findings and commentary of this video. (Note: I got all my RF gear and expect to get my R5 in the next couple of days). 1. "Who buys this camera to shoot photos?" - Are you kidding me?!? It's got amazing face and animal tracking, fantastic IBIS (adding at least 3 stops), 40 MPs, and an amazing set of advanced lenses. Why would you NOT buy this to shoot still photos? It's sharpness, color fidelity and ease of operation are unbeatable. 2. "You shouldn't rely on this camera to shoot a full-day wedding". Agree, but no one would. If you want to shoot a full days video, why would you get a photo camera to the game? Rent a Canon XA50 or something like that. This is a photo camera with the added ability to shoot amazing quality bursts of video, or extended video in HD/30. Works fine for me.

@DreamReleases 4 года назад

Nothing beats skill and talent. There are many wedding videos on RU-vid now. Kinda short sited to think that EVERY wedding photographer shoots in the same exact way. A more accurate way of stating it, would be to say, YOU don't know how to use the camera without it overheating. Simple. Other people do however. Suggest conversing with your peers and see how they are doing it. The warning doesn't mean it's overheated at or past it's 104 F threshold. Get a FLIR or equal temp measuring device and stay within you published tolerances.

I'm sure you are a talented person but invest in glass and learning the craft. No R5 or A7SIII is going to get you paid or make you a better filmmaker or photographer. Invest in yourself, not a camera body! I run an inhouse media dept with two A7III and have written $10k contracts with very happy clients at the end, all with an A7III and a sigma 35.

Can you run around filming a wedding day with an external recorder? Honest question. I shoot all day on a gimbal and it just seems like it would way it down and throw off the balance. And just be a lot of weight and wires for all the quick shots you need to get on a wedding day

@johnverogos193 4 года назад

No question that Canon went about the marketing for this camera poorly but as a professional in my business having at least two of everything has always been my motto. Nothing else in this form factor will do the high quality options the R5 does. Either get two R5’s or the A7Siii for its 4k30/60/120 and to save having to buy Sony lenses use an EF adaptor for canon glass and use the R5 for stills, 4K HQ with an external recorder and 8K internal for video with option of 35MP still frame grabs. Not to mention incredible IBIS. Realistically nobody needs all this but why not offer what it can do. Minus lens costs your in 9 grand for both bodies. It’s not chump change but it’s your business and you can bill appropriately for offering the best quality images (skill aside:) This is a pro piece of gear doing things others can’t at the moment with obvious limitations based on spec. If we want the best for our clients these are the limitations of our time. We are either a professional or we are not.

Nice review as always Matt. Although the conclusion: "You can not rely on they video as a professional filmmaker" completely leaves out professional hybrid shooters who want to shoot excellent stills at 45mpx and 1080p 24p and 1080p 120fps at high mb/s. The R5 is a best of video production camera at those specs AND a beast of photography camera. Its just not an 8K RAW/4K HQ/4K60p production camera, and frankly, I don't know what kind of wedding videographer would be interested in shooting a wedding ceremony entirely in 8K Raw unless they were shooting with the C500mk ii before and felt there wasn't enough resolution! LOL! The 8K is a novelty for that special shot you really need to zoom in on. That's few and far in between. Best would be to dedicate one of the custom modes to 8K RAW, one to 4K60P, and the rest of the time stay at 4K 24 and 1080 120p. That's how I see it... but what do I know... I preordered two A7siii 's! LOL!

@gagehorne8975 Год назад

Matt!! Can we get a video of you talking about the R5C? It seems to be the camera that fixed all the issues you describe in this video. But I would love to see it actually put to the test!

@spiroszaharakis2648 4 года назад

There are two ways to make it work. In both cases, you will have to have at least two of them. First way is to have one shooting always in 4K non HQ 30fps or lower and the other one only shooting the occasional 4K60p or 4K120p and then turned off immediately to cool down. The other way is to have both cameras recording to an Atomos Ninja V, and switching cameras every two hours.

@whoismatt 4 года назад

I could see swapping bodies, but then you would still need even more bodies for the wedding ceremony, because once you film even in 4K non HQ they will lose their ability to record any of the wedding reception in high frame rates. If you go the Atomos route, you're looking at $10K for 2 bodies with recorders. 😅

@spiroszaharakis2648 4 года назад

@@whoismatt In scenario 1, you can shoot with camera a continuously at non HQ mode and the camera b will be switched on only to shoot the occasional shot at 60p or 120p only when it is necessary and then put to rest. I believe that unless you constantly shoot at 60p and 120p on camera b, you will be able to shoot a few 60p/120p shots and then have the camera rest for 15-20min before you touch it again so in practice you will be able to shoot for quite a while. With scenario 2, you can get away with 2 bodies, and one recorder.Just swap the recorder from camera 1 to camera 2 when you have a long enough break. Still an expensive way to do things but on the other hand, working with two bodies for redundancy was always a standard for unrepeatable events like weddings.

@thomascampos7056 4 года назад

@whoismatt 4 года назад

We can hope that is the case. I will say the camera does warm up to around 100F when overheating. It's warm to hold, and I can see Canon not wanting it to get much warmer before shutting it off.

@Playerdrew10 4 года назад

My concern would be that even if the limits are taken off, what would all that overheating do to the sensor and other internal components over time? I imagine it would significantly shorten the lifespan of this camera. Can you imagine the camera just going completely dead on you during an event? 1 year into purchasing? 2 years? I would be crushed. I've been using a GH5 for years now and it's still going very strong. Reliability, to me, is way more important that top end specs.

Well, the Atomos Ninja V is crucial. Take out both cards and it runs in 4k30 HQ indefinitively. Also 4k60 should run indefinitively with an Atomos. And for ceremonies, you need the Ninja anyways to supercede the record limit of 29:59s.

I still run mine at every wedding as a static unmanned cam. Drastically underrated for the features.

If you have Sigma lenses you can get them rehoused for relatively cheap. Otherwise I would look into selling your EF lenses and moving to native Sony if you want comparable AF in video.

This all feels like just too much work lol. I just bought a c300mkiii and though I know that I’m talking about an $11k camera vs a $3.5k camera, but knowing I can shoot in any environment reliably and without any problems it’s worth the extra $7500 for me. But I know that not everyone is in that boat. But with the c200 coming in around $4000-$5500 depending on the configuration right now, I would just suggest people buy that instead if they HAVE to get a new camera right now. Get the tool that lets you focus on creating without worrying if the tool is going to perform or not.
