For a hybrid camera such as the R5 C, I would rather have a mechanical shutter than ND.Not sure if there will ever be a way to get ND onboard
Besides, we have the drop-in filter adapter for EF lenses.

I predict that the R1 will have a bigger body than the R3 but a smaller one than the Z 8.I have some other ideas that would result in a bigger body
Micro XLR and solid state.They’re all great things to want. But where on an R5 size body do you fit XLRs and an entirely new battery type?
Just goes to show how we all use our cameras differently. The R5 C fits in my med to large size hands well. I'm ok with no mech shutter or onboard ND, but if they found a way (electronically, etc) I'd take it. As far as continuing to support EF, I'm done. I still have a handful of great L glass, but they are on my chopping block. Once the C200/300/500 are replaced with an RF mount, Thats it for EF. I know they will be around for another decade, but I'm not investing in them any longer, nor the Canon or Meike drop ins. If I shot professionally, it might be more important to me, but I can do without.For a hybrid camera such as the R5 C, I would rather have a mechanical shutter than ND.

For everyone asking for better battery you’re fundamentally misunderstanding what the R5C is. Mark 2 will have exactly the same kinds of design trade offs with battery life that the current Gen has.This poses a problem for myself and I believe others.
I posted asking if there were any whispers about the R5C Mk. 2 awhile back however,
For people looking for a solid 4K HQ quality of camera it's going to be a gamble between the R5 MK 2 and the R5C mk 2
It's too early to have concrete specs for both of them.
If the R5c Mk.2 has a better design and the battery isn't pathetic and the OS is better why not go for it over the R5 MK 2..
Why drop close to 4-5 grand on the R5 Mk2 with only h.265 when hopefully the R5c Mk2 will have a friendlier codec..
It just depends on how much time. R5c Mk2 feels like a year or two away?
Not necessarily.R5C is. Mark 2 will have exactly the same kinds of design trade offs with battery life that the current Gen has.
I question if Canon should make a camera with active cooling that is not a cinema camera like Panasonic with the S5 II and S5 II X.Choosing between the R5 and R5C is the exact same kind of thing.
Canon aren’t going to make a specific new battery for a single one model of camera. You’ve just explained why they will still use LPNH.Not necessarily.
The voltage of the battery is too low.
All Canon would need to do is have a different battery.
Clearly they don’t see the need. Especially if as the report claims the R5C has been selling so well a mk 2 is on the boards for 2025.I question if Canon should make a camera with active cooling that is not a cinema camera like Panasonic with the S5 II and S5 II X.
Great post. Exactly, if you want to run the R5C CINEMA camera all day you need to treat it like a cinema camera and rig it up. You don’t see posts on Arri forums complaining a 150wh battery only lasts a take. Because it’s a cinema camera pushing the edge of what’s possible tech wise and battery draw is expected.In the grand scheme of things, I am very pleased with the R5 C. The still imagery is fantastic. It runs all day in photo mode on one battery. If I really push it, and things run long I just pop in a spare.
4k video. For that I'd carry two batteries and maybe a USB-C PD. The one I have fits in my pocket and is more than adequate. If you are going to shoot in 8k, that requires a little more planning. In that case a Small Rig v-mount battery set up. Now it basically runs all day unless you are sitting with the oversampling on idle. Press the media playback button and problem solved.
I waited (to upgrade) through it all. R because it was the first mirrorless. RP because it was too small. R6 because 24MP and the R5 because of the over heating which to some extent has been largely eradicated with firmware. The R5 C is still by far superior to the R5 if you are interested in video. Primarily due to its additional codecs. If you aren't, then there is no need.
For someone who primarily shoots stills, the R5 with ibis is a top performer. I wanted more, and didn't care about ibis so much. I paid more and got it in the R5 C. I'm not defending it just because I have one. Its a great camera. Are their things I wish it did differently, sure, but thats been true of every camera I've owned, except my AE-1.
I believe as @Scenes does. The mkII variants of both cameras will use the same battery size, but like the LP-EN6H and the newer battery made by small rig, Canon will figure out how to further reduce power draw of the camera and beef up power delivery to some extent. The R5 C mkII being a year or more away doesn't bother me. I have a great camera now. I'll probably be ready for the C mkII when it comes. I've got the glass which should last until I can't hold a camera up any longer. Then I'll be EoL insted of my camera
You sound like you're angry about a bunch of loosely connected things there. You're posting in a canon forum. If you want to use the FX3. Great. No one is stopping you?I disagree, consumers continually allow these companies to get away with bullshit. The OS for the R5c is poorly written and contributes to battery usage. The R5c was marketed as a TRUE HYBRID.
The technology is here. They could have made a new battery, they could have designed it better. Research online the problems people have with the fans.. The FX3 is a much better cinema camera in dimensions. The R5 should have NEVER overheated. Two batteries for 4K is a joke btw..
Planned obsolescence. They will never want someone to stop buying their products. Unless you make a big stink nothing will change.
Can you please punctuate correctly? Reading this gives me a headache. My third-grader learned not to do run-on sentences months ago--and English is his second language.You’re missing the point and excusing a poorly designed product both the R5 and r5c have major cripples that didn’t have or need to be there..
Oh no!!! Well, I guess Sony and Nikon will wipe Canon out of the market then, if Apple doesn't beat them to it. I have to say the R5 is the first camera I've ever owned that gets me near 100 out of 100 on what I've always wanted from photography. First time since getting a EOS-1N in 1995, which I think probably scored about 4 out of 100 on the same scale. Leica M6, probably also about 4 out of 100. I guess I'm just an idiot moron for letting Canon get away with a camera this good.I disagree, consumers continually allow these companies to get away with bullshit.

I don’t see what parts of the R5C have even been hit with a cripple hammer?Yes I am a very upset and angry little man. I wouldn’t assume everyone is happy with it and of course the company is going to tell people their product sold well.. a lot of people settle and buy extra things to problem solve.
Not I, and I am positive others feel similarly, don’t single me out bro lol. I’ll buy a product when it can truly replace everything I already do but at the 4K level with no cripple hammer. Even canon users like myself understand that cannon cripples its own products. This is my argument and it’s unacceptable.
