gt3rs Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 I have one button to cycle through the AF frame, one to enable / disable face tracking, one to pause AF while pressing, and one as suggested above to toggle AF on/off. One thing that I find super useful is peaking with AF..... on the R5 peaking does not work while in AF but on the R5c it works and I find a realy life saver as even is super bright sun or strange angle on the LCD I can always monitor if the AF is spot on or not.

Is not a picture is a frame grab at 1/100 from 50fps video...... is normal that is soft as there is motion blur....... it was to demonstrate AF at 2.8 while an animal sprinting at 50+ mph.....

maitham rush Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Hi all I am also think of this camera as an upgrade after many years with 5Dmk2, I know it's a dicade I love having both world photo and video at this high end spec and camera as I need it for my photography and some serious video as I already have c100 my concern is the body weatherproof as r5 and can be used in dusty weather as our home here in middeleast is dusty and I prefer to shot outdoor photography appreciate your experience with this camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gt3rs Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 R5 and R5c have the same weather resistance. Both not at the same level as 1Dx. Used my R5 and R5c in sandy, light raining and light snow with no issue so far but they are insured so I take more risks without worrying.

Thanks for your reply OK if R5c is same as R5 it is fine with me as user of 5DMK2 I think it will be fine with this body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Harper Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Anyone using the R5C with a gimbal? Would love to know what other owners are using and what the experience has been like. Currently looking at either the RS2 or RS3 but I'm coming from the Glidecam era so gimbals are new to me. I'll also be looking to use mine with the battery grip and compatible Smallrig cage which I have no interest in dismantling - so curious how that might limit or complicate things for me.

I'll also be looking to use mine with the battery grip and compatible Smallrig cage which I have no interest in dismantling - so curious how that might limit or complicate things for me. I used the R5c with the full cage and the FxLion One Battery on top of the cage on a Ronin S quite a bit and depending on the lens is a bit at the limit with the clearance. The EVF of the R5c is stick out quite a bit and the cage need some more space on the motor side. Sold the S and now I use a RS3 Pro and due to stronger motors and longer harms I can mount whatever with no issue. For my Africa project I did use a lot with the 70-200 and no problem at all to balance and still have enough clearance to go underslung. Although Smallrig claims the cage to be compatible with the DJI arca plate ,mine is not and I tested with RSC2 (too small for this camera anyway) and RS3 Pro plates and due to the security pin both cannot take the cage directly. I have the R5 full cage so maybe. Bottomline either you mount the DJI arca adapter (that comes with the gimbal) on the tripod hole of the cage or if you want something more solid you need to buy this: SMALLRIG Quick Release Plate for Arca-Type Standard Compatible with DJI RS 2 / RSC 2 / RS 3 / RS 3 Pro Gimbal - 3154 or this SMALLRIG Camera Quick Release Plate Adapter with Arca-Swiss for DJI RS 2/RSC 2/RS 3/RS 3 Pro & for Ronin-S Gimbal - 3061. I use the gimbal on high vibration environment quite a bit, on MTB, Motorbike, Jeep, Skii, Heli so the stronger motor of the RS3 Pro is a no brainer for my usage. For only 200g more is imo worth. The new auto locking of the RS3 and RS3 Pro seems a small thing but it makes life so much easier.

Emanuel Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 To those who still complain on lack of IBIS... Here is a test made without it on the inexpensive RF 24mm f/1.8. It's not the R5C but just for the sake of it shows how it does the job done though, eventually more suitable than any wobble/jerky artifacts for poor handheld work anyway.

filmmakereu Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 5 hours ago, ntblowz said: On R5/R5C 8K/4K Fine it is 15.5ms, on 4K standard mode and 4K50p it change to 9.6ms, on 5.9K RAW APS-C it is 11.5ms On R7 the 4K Fine mode it is around 31ms according to the graph, so if 4K50P is 14.5ms then I think 4k non standard will be the same as 4K50p. I knew Gordon done the test of 4K fine, 4K standard and 1080p quality comparison on the R5, 4k standard is still way sharper than 1080p. Any estimation how bad rolling shutter is on R5 C 8K50P/60P?

ntblowz Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 This is the only test I can see that they did 8K25p and 8K50P rolling shutter, seems like same rolling shutter performance on 25p and 50p Emanuel and filmmakereu 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Full lens stabilization and autofocus internally? Supplied with the EF lenses via their adapter too? What lenses have you used there?

Yeah, 8K50/60P internally in RAW format only. If you have PD-powerbank connect to R5C it will power the lens and AF as well.

Davide DB Posted December 11, 2022 Share Posted December 11, 2022 I shot 99% underwater and I saw this test/comparison of R5 vs R5C. Demo reels contains artifacts and are incredibly noisy on blue and black. I would never buy a camera seeing those clips. https://www.backscatter.com/reviews/post/Canon-EOS-R5-vs-R5C-Underwater-Review I know for sure these camera are better than that. Maybe they were misconfiguration somehow. Juank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point it seems to focus on the logs but then follows the cheetahs into the bushes naturally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall AF is quite reliable but is not always perfect. This is example when it lost it in the easiest phase but the condition where really challenging. R5c 8K RAW 1/50 ISO 16'000 (yes not a typo ISO 16k) 400mm 2.8, AF tracking, on a bean bag, it was basically night and my driver did not believe I could film in that light. The beginning is out of focus until I could select the young leopard face, at 0.19 is when the camera loses him. Davide DB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
