This is the awesome Canon EOS R5 C 8K Digicam
SHAH ALAM, 25 February 2022 – Canon has announced the launch of the EOS R5 C, the newest addition to the company’s Cinema EOS System of video production equipment. Designed for users who demand high performance for both video and still photo shooting, the camera features a compact and lightweight body weighing approximately 680g and it comes equipped with 8K RAW internal video recording.
By switching modes via the ON/OFF dial on the camera body, the EOS R5 C can be used either as a video camera with Cinema EOS System quality, or as a stills camera with high performance comparable to that of the EOS R5 mirrorless camera (released in July 2020).
With the inclusion of next-level video and still image capabilities, the new camera is a complete package that is ideal for a wide variety of usage in which mobility is crucial, including journalism and fields that require cinema-level image quality, such as advertising and corporate video production.
The EOS R5 C is equipped with Canon’s proprietary full-frame CMOS sensor that boasts 45 million effective pixels and a DIGIC X image processor that produces an internal recording of 8K / 30P RAW video and 8K / 60P RAW video when using an external power supply.
Canon and video production
The camera is also ideal for a variety of video production scenarios thanks to support for 8K / 30P recording in the highly versatile MP4 file format.
With full pixel readout from 8K effective pixels, which possess a rich amount of data, the EOS R5 C can also perform oversampling to generate high-image-quality 4K / 4:2:2 / 10bit video.
What’s more, a proprietary heat transfer architecture and internal thermal transfer fan built into the EOS R5 C will enable video recording for longer durations than the EOS R5.
The EOS R5 C employs the Cinema RAW Light recording format that preserves the data-richness of RAW video while reducing file size. Thanks to internal recording capabilities, video can be recorded on media such as CFexpress cards without the need for an external recording device.
The camera also supports Canon’s proprietary XF-AVC format based on broadcast standards, making it versatile and compatible with a wide range of user workflows. What’s more, a high frame rate of up to 4K / 120P enables smooth video recording even when shooting slow-motion video.
The new camera realizes both high image quality, thanks to a 45 million effective pixel count, and high-speed continuous shooting.
Continuous stills shooting of up to approximately 20 frames-per-second (FPS) is possible when using the electronic shutter, and up to approximately 12 FPS when using the mechanical shutter/electronic curtain, thus making possible high-quality image capture even for moving subjects.
The EOS R5 C will go on sale in Asia in early March 2022 at an open price.
