Confirmed, a Canon EOS R5c is going to be announced this year [CR3]
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
And there in lies the rub, we all have different priorities. For most R5 owners the video limits are not limitations, for some they are, so Canon is bringing out a different camera that is going to cost a lot more for them.
That doesn’t mean the R5 is a bad camera, it isn’t, it is the best general purpose camera Canon make and the people I know that own them absolutely love them (but I doubt any of them have shot a seconds video). But it isn’t everything for everyone, and no camera could be nowadays.

It's not about stills, it is a bit crippled for video as only RAW video gives access to the full dynamic range which is 8k30p only
which not many people will use. (even though the camera is capable of recording RAW in the cropped mode up to 4k60p),
After the firmware update it will get Canon Log 3, which should be a good step up, but it looks like the R5 C will be the camera that gets the full dynamic range with Canon Log 2 and possibly a few other things.
And I reckon this 'full video unlocking' will not come cheap.

Over the past five years, copper price has varied between $2.05 and $4.1 per pound. even if the heat sync had a whole pound of copper in it, that would be a $2 variance on a $3,000+ camera. That's sub .1%

Sure, some photographers have to work in the rain, but wedding photographers? I doubt those need their cameras to be more than splash proof. I gather even some sport events take a break when it rains, e.g. baseball.

Why are people assuming that it will not be weatherproof? There is zero chance that it will not be any less weatherproof than R5. Stop making up stories people. Canon made a mistake by launching a camera that heats up and freezes quickly. They will NOT make another mistake by launching a camera that is not weatherproof.

I think we have a misunderstanding. I'm talking about DR performance in video, not stills. In video the R5 is solidly behind the competition for a FF sensor. Since the "R5c" is video focused my comments are in context of that. The stills out of the R5 are fantastic.
The R5 sensor is "crippled" in terms of we know they can do much, much better: C500 for example. Sony is putting some of their best tech in "consumer" cameras. Canon should do the same.
The only camera I own at the moment is an R5. Please seek help for your brand identity problem.

I think it really depends. Rain delay rules are different by the sport and some sports are more tolerant of rain than others. On the more tolerant end of the spectrum, I believe football and rugby only stop for lightning or dangerous weather. On the wedding side, I'd suspect more often than not splash protection would be sufficient. For context, I'm a hobby photographer but I take the odd paid job. The last time I shot a wedding was by far the wettest I've ever let my camera get. The client's wedding day rained non-stop but they dreamed of wedding photos under fall colour, so we made it work. Unfortunately making it work felt like I came out of a pool when we were done! I've shot in plenty of downpours for landscapes, but that wedding was by far the wettest I've ever let my camera get, and only because someone was paying me to do it.
Again, others have noted that a lot of the active cooling bodies can be weather sealed, and I'm all for that. Knowing my use history, I need weather sealing more than active cooling, but if I can have both, great! Again, I think it's all about picking the right tool for the job.

C70 was designed to be handheld.
While it is huge compared to the R5 it is small for a cinema camera.
(FX3 is not really a cinema camera.)
If you use large enough lenses then the size difference will not really matter.

I fall into this category. I own an R5, a bunch of RF lenses, love it, and have not even toggled it to video mode to see the interface. Assuming I don't sell it, the camera will probably never record a second of video in its lifetime.
For those who need or love video, I'm happy for them that they will soon have a great option. For me, I would not want any of the following to increase for a feature I'd never use: size, weight, cost. If none of those go up, sure, better is better

I wonder if “animal eye tracking” picks up on fish and other aquatic species etc. in your use underwater?

No. A fan makes a camera body fatter. I don't think most still photographers want a camera body that looks like the C70.
