R5c as described would basically be the same camera in a different body.I think I have read somewhere that making a new camera-model is a 18-24 months process.
Do you really think it took Sony 18 months to come up with the FX3?

Sooner than one would expect. As we learned with the R5, announcements can be made at anytime. And similar to the XF3, this camera has already been perceived prototyped and not much really to be tested except for time characteristics. And how long does that take, a week? Expect this camera to be announced at the apportune timing for Canon. At this moment Canon is in the drivers seat. Now that the consumer has realized that active cooling and a slight expansion in size to incorporate is reality, hopefully inroads can be made on a long awaited brighter and modern rear display. For those that can't stomach active cooling, it's not for you. However don't complain about stagnant technology and nothing but minor firmware algorithms.
Many R5 owners couldn't care less about the video "issues" with the R5. There hasn't been any real issues with the heating issues lately with the R5 right? Just media sites fishing for clickbait and Canon-haters looking to stir the pot.Thats bad news for current R5 owners , that means the next firmware updates are not going to sort the heating issues out , or add much to the video side of the current R5
I’m sure it would, but depending on size and price I’d think it worthwhile for a camera that’s going to be relevant for a much longer period (working 8k vs. novelty 8k accents). If it’s $2,500 more and saves me from having to buy a new $3,000 camera in a couple of years (in future inflated dollars) then I’d say it’s money well spent.I would expect a R5c to command a significant premium over the R5
A 5d sized R5 makes sense.As an underwater photography, I was going to purchase the R5 but COVID put a hold on that since I'm not traveling anywhere or doing anything that would warrant a pricey investment of an R5, and the very expensive underwater housing for it. So I patiently wait and continue using my trusty 5DM3 which still provides stellar photos.
From an underwater photographer's perspective, it would be nice if Canon kept the R5's external dimensions and buttons the same so we can continue using our very expensive underwater housings which often cost more than the camera. Whatever camera I buy, it's for the long term.
And so I patiently wait.
Glad they listen to the video centric crow. Not a big concern for me but still nice to see. I think you can still make it pretty water proof if you want to and I wonder how big it will be. Size is also not a big issue for me.
Can't you record 4KHQ externally without the overheating issue? Adding the copper plate will still have heating issues ie hot spots on the back and need the screen to be open and on a tripod.No firmware is going to fix what was simply just a stupid lack of a proper cooper plate. I already measured it out and have one cnced. Moment my warranty is up I am slapping it in. If you do video at 4k hq the camera overheats very quickly. Luckily on social media with reg 4k and 75% sharpness added in premier and 4k crop mode, it still looks very good.
I made the plunge (!) and got the R5 and Ikelite housing for it. The R5 will be plenty sufficient for a long time. I tend to shoot 4k/120 short clips underwater only but mostly stills. I get that a R5c would be better for long form underwater video. The 5Diii/iv/SR can have the same housing - at least in the Ikelite range and I upgraded from 5Diii to 5Div okay. That in itself was a nice bump in performance. The R5 is a significant jump again. Just wish that my 100mm macro would stop focusing on particulate between me and the subjectAs an underwater photography, I was going to purchase the R5 but COVID put a hold on that since I'm not traveling anywhere or doing anything that would warrant a pricey investment of an R5, and the very expensive underwater housing for it.

No. It’s getting the most out of the camera that you have with you. The sensor, body, and ecosystem are amazing with the R5. The silly, it’s not a cinema camera statement is just as old as the overheating commentary. It’s the software that consistently points to Canon missing how people would like to use the “DSLR” bodies.Many R5 owners couldn't care less about the video "issues" with the R5.

How is the R5's sensor crippled? Gotta love/hate that word and only certain people use it.we are going to see a C70 style camera (most likely the same body) with the crippled 45MP FF sensor from R5.
It does not have very good DR potential compared to other Canon sensors.How is the R5's sensor crippled? Gotta love/hate that word and only certain people use it.
Not sure what you mean. Dxomark (as much as I don't like their methodologies) gives it 14.6Ev landscape DR which is the highest of Canon's sensors (at least full frame) and is dual gain @ISO400.It does not have very good DR potential compared to other Canon sensors.
more BS from a Sony fan...It does not have very good DR potential compared to other Canon sensors.
Sorry, but I disagree. i want a proper functional camera even if slightly larger.Sorry, but I disagree. I don't want a camera that's bigger, heavier, more expensive, and (possibly) less weatherproof. It's great that the R5c is coming out so that you can be happy with it, and I can be happy without it.
Nope. I clearly remember the marketing for R5. It was totally video-centric.I don't think so. The R5 will be for people who primarily do stills. The R5c will be for people who primarily do video. As the C70 demonstrates, adding a fan makes a camera fatter. Many still photographers wouldn't like that. The C70 also has a bunch of additional buttons on the side.
