Canon’s 8K full-frame cinemamirrorless The EOS R5 gets a moviemaker overhaul, with a ton of spec ideal for hybrid shooters T here is now an 8K full-frame mirrorless camera from Canon aimed specifically at filmmakers: the new EOS R5 C. It’s heavily
Shooting in 8K video gives four times the resolution of 4K video, so it makes massive crops to 4K a reality without losing detail. It can record high frame rate video up to 120fps, at 4K resolution in 4:2:2 10-bit, without cropping the sensor. That’s great for fast-paced action, and when the camera is paired with a gimbal or drone. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF still functions, even in high frame rates, and the EOS R5 C stores audio as a separate file from video, eliminating the need for distinct audio recording in fast frame rates. It’s the first Canon camera to record internal 8K (8192x4320 pixels) 60p Cinema Raw Light, the same codec as the EOS C300 Mark III and C500 Mark II. This captures the full dynamic range of the sensor and provides more data, perfect for grading and HDR – but in a smaller file size than full Cinema Raw. Cinema Raw Light now has three modes: RawHQ for highest quality, Raw
based on the current EOS R5 and retains that camera’s full photo spec. But the C-model has added cinema features, such as a fan-cooled sensor to stop the overheating that plagued the EOS R5 when shooting high-data video, plus timecode and a multi-interface shoe for easy audio. There is now no time limit for recording on this new £4500/$4499 cam. It still uses the EOS R5’s full-frame CMOS sensor, Digic X processor and the RF lens mount, to record 8K video and 45-megapixel stills at burst speeds up to 20 frames per second. Officially part of the Canon Cinema EOS system, the EOS R5 C can capture internal 8K/30p Raw recording – and up to 8K/60p, but only when using an external power source. There is not a time limit on any video recording.
