![eosr5c - The Canon EOS R5c is coming in the first quarter of 2022 [CR2]](https://www.canonrumors.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/eosr5c.png "The Canon EOS R5c is coming in the first quarter of 2022 [CR2]")
The long-rumored Cano EOS R5c is reportedly still expected to be announced in the first quarter of 2022. Original rumors placed an announcement for January 2022, but I can't confirm that will be the case.
The source did say certain retailers are being told to expect the camera to be announced in Q1 of 2022 with availability coming soon thereafter, but likely in limited quantities.
Pricing is still unknown obviously, but I have been told that it will cost “significantly less” than the Canon Cinema EOS C70, which is currently priced at $5499 USD.
Canon EOS R5C Information
- 45mp full-frame sensor (Same as the EOS R5)
- DIGIC X
- Canon Log 3
- Canon Log 2 is still being discussed
- Unlimited 8K30P recording in Cinema RAW Light. XF-AVC and MP4
- Timecode in/out
- The same multipurpose hot shoe as the EOS R3. Which will work with accessories such as the Tascam XLR module.
- Active cooling
- 3/8″ or 1/4″ mounting point on the EVF for a top handle that won’t interfere with the hot shoe.
- Full-size HDMI Port
- The LCD has been moved further back to accommodate the cooling fan. So this likely means that it won’t recess into the body like the Canon EOS R5.

That said, on the personal end of things after picking up the R3 I'm more excited to see lenses get announced than cameras. A 35mm f1.2 or 1.4 would be nice, and I'd love to see a 300mm 2.8 or similar prime or zoom come out for the RF mount. I hope they announce some lenses with it!

This is a realy realy big detail in my opinion. Not being able to swivel the screen on the current R5 while using an HDMI cable/cage is very limiting.45mp would be very nice. If its less than the R5, I think I will stick to my R5s, because I do a lot of photogaphy. But if its 45mp, I guess I will switch one R5 for an R5c
I like to take photos and videos with my currently three EOS M50 (2 of them mark ii) but C70 might be interesting for 4k if that matters and the XLR inputs to get much better audio.
While C70 is presumably excellent for video it is really bad for taking photos and I do not like to lug too much. Maybe R5c is a great solution.
Hopefully it has something like 2 ... 24 fps to make time lapses with high flexibility!
So a good reason to buy some ultra wide lens from EF land to use R5c with the variable ND filter adapter and dump some money before inflation eats it up :)
We've already moved to the RF Mount in my office, with the C70 and EOS R being our primary b-roll cameras. Our photographer uses an R5 already as well. Additionally, like I said about the R3 option, we far prefer the smaller form factor of the EOS R and R5 to a gripped camera when using a handheld gimbal, so the 1DC would just be adding even more weight/volume over the R3 even.
... but while I write this ...
why not use a 1 stop filter flipping in from above, a 2 stop filter flipping in from below and both make a three stop thing?
.... no, flange distance etc to low. doesn't work. ...
except you can do a more complicated movement of the filter ...
Maybe only EF lenses with the variable ND filter adapter will help ...
Modular, to an extent. EVF probably not what everyone is expecting. Sounding like this will be more like an XC10 with RF mount than C70 or R5 style. Time will tell.
