I've owned mine for a couple of years now and have been nothing but satisfied with it. It handles everything I throw at it, from filming live music to doing studio stills. If you want one camera to do most everything with, this is an easy choice. My only complaint is the weight - it has some heft as-is, and when I add a cage and accessories it can become quite heavy, however by that point I'm also generally using an extra grip or a tripod, so it's only a minor complaint.

I bought this to get past the 30-minute recording limit and heat limitations of my R5. I can also use it as a backup to my R5. So far, I have found more things to irritate me much more than the 30-minute recording limit: 1 - While in picture mode the camera has full wireless capabilities, in video you lose them unless you plunk out $1,000.00 for the WiFi grip. 2- The USB C connection does not allow for wired control by external remote monitors like the Portkeys LH5P II. 3- I just discovered that when plugging in an external mic to the 3.5mm mic jack, the internal microphone stays active!! How stupid is that?? Even compared to the items above, this is really stupid. If I am missing something, I apologize however I don't think I am.

Bought a used Canon EOS R5 C Mirrorless Digital Cinema Camera from Adorama. It arrived when Adorama said it would, and it's condition is exactly what Adorama described! ... And what a camera it is!!! Firstly, this camera is Netflix certified for "Netflix Original" projects. I'm not exactly sure if it's an A-Camera or a B-Camera certification, but Canon keeps improving it through firmware too. The first full-length theatrical production I'm aware of, "Good Bad Things" (shot with the Canon R5-C), is getting rave reviews, so we know the camera is not getting in the way of the story. My needs are much less and my early tests are extremely encouraging! ???? Sooo ... Thanks to both Adorama and Canon, for making this fantastic tool available to the masses. It is a blessing! Do be aware that internal battery life is short at the highest quality settings, file sizes do get large and these files will test even very modern and fast computers. Then again most quality cameras require external battery power, and there are affordable solutions available. Also, the files may require some noise reduction remediation unless you bias the shadows with fill light during production. So bring your A-game production skills to every shoot.

I mainly shoot video and didn't know I needed the cinema OS until now. I have had about a dozen Canon bodies over the years and doing video via the photo OS was just normal to me. Now that I have the R5C with dedicated video OS it's just so much better running the camera. I know the battery life has been an issue but with firmware updates, new LP-E6P batteries and other work arounds I have had no major issues. I got a SmallRig VB99 also for longer shoots and all that is resolved. I do wish Canon would add the traditional recording timer (like on my R5) to the cinema OS, I shoot a lot of 20-30 second clips to that is useful to know I got the seconds I need, rather than just timecode. This is my favorite Canon body so far.

Bought this camera for hybrid work and it was fine for the most part. No c-log 2 is just the main reason i can't say that i love this camera. i know that canon stated that sensor is just not capable of that dynamic range of c log 2 but i dont think thats completely true. "C-log 3 is easier to grade" really? That sounds like a joke for people who bought a "cinema" line camera. Why dont you just give us an opportunity to choose when to use c-log 2 or c-log 3? Even if c-log 2 gonna be noisy mess. Adding this profile is fairly easy and it is gonna solve so much ranting from people but of course your not gonna do it, just out of principle, great attitude for your customers Canon

This camera has been everything I could've ever asked for in a camera. Great quality photo and video results, whether straight off the camera or edited and polished. I feel as if 10 years ago, when I started dabbling around in photography, this quality wouldn't have been possible. The fan runs super-quiet, such that you won't hear it in on-camera audio (unless it's in high-speed mode). For those who would balk at the price, think of it like this...the next cheapest camera capable of recording full-frame 8K60 is twice this price or more (sure, this one requires external power to do it, but still). So much capability, and a year later, I'm still learning. Canon really hit this one out of the park.

The camera is great, and light! But the battery could be better. The video mode drains the battery so much

Great quality camera once you work out the quirks of short battery life, not having CLOG2. Some features like 8K 60P is only available in RAW and with a USB-C connected power or with the DR-E6C . I ended up making my own BP-A30 Battery grip, using a DR-E6C which allows 100% access to all the features of the camera. I hope canon is listening as they could create a 9Volt battery grip that can solve so many headaches. Also having 8k 60p in MP4(HVEC) YCC422 10bit would be a great feature to have. Canon continues to support this camera in firmware updates which is encouraging as your investment keeps getting better and better.

Been using this cam for 8 months now and I am completely blown away by its flexibility. It is one of the best hybrid cinema cameras on the market when used correctly.

What a fantastic upgrade from the Canon R. Specifically switched to the r5c from the BMPCC 6K Pro for video, but am equally impressed with the camera for still work.

Amazing camera. I use it for video and the image quality is amazing. Great auto focus, no IBIS, but not a problem for me. I love everything about it. There are people that complain about battery life (get over it), but that doesn't bother me at all. I primarily use it on a gimbal with a V mount battery so I easily get 5+ hours of battery life shooting 8k Raw.

Been using this camera for my YouTube channel and what an experience it has been. The quality and feature set are just great for my needs. The camera side for pictures are also great ??. Battery life is an issue but I generally run it on a rig. In photo mode the battery life is great. Definitely would recommend for anyone that's got the extra money for the extra features over the r5.

Camera is dope. Definitely a learning curve but does a great job with image quality and recovering data that lost from being over or under exposed photography wise

This allows me to take fantastic action photos. I like landscape photography & portrait also so I upgraded my camera body to get rid of the burst lag. Definitely worth the investment.

If you are only going to have this lens and this lens only, its not too bad. Although I sometimes hate the f'/4 in low light. But most of the time it works really well. It is a great travel lens. I have paired it with a couple of Canons cheap RF prime lenses to compensate for when it gets dark. Also if your getting the R5C, you should already be aware of the battery problem. You can't do it without a battery rig. I would suggest looking up some videos on rigs to choose one you like. Overall, expect to spend more than you think. If this camera had a different battery situation, it would be the best Canon camera hands down in my opinion. DO YOUR RESEARCH before buying.

Great camera. The footage is *chefs kiss*?but it has its quirks and it feels as though Canon DOES NOT want to help fix it anytime soon with some software updates. For instance, when the camera is hooked up to a DJI RS3 it has a tendency to freeze and not respond. The solution to reset the camera is to pull the battery from it?.real nerve racking. There's no way to make 4k RAW a possibility? The battery life can't have any tweaks for some more efficiency? Terrible decision to have a micro HDMI?makes no sense.

This is your tool! I love telling stories, videos and photos. This camera does it all. It is a bit of a learning curve if you are currently using a stills camera for video, but just get out there and use it, (it will start making sense). Watch YouTube get a better grasp of video terms like shutter angel and ISO/Gain. Only Cons, so far... - No Internal ND filters. (but that would make it bigger, but prefer this smaller package). - No Default Luts I had a chance to use the BlackMagic 6k Pro. And, first off, the menu is super easy and really user-friendly. The built-in ND and Luts are really handy! Using a built-in ND is life-changing! lol I would still get this camera if I had to do it all over again. If you only do Video, I would not get this camera. I would do the BM6KP or the Canon C70.

This camera has been amazing for me, I upgraded to this from the R5 because I was having overheating issues and it has been nothing but the best since. The only thing I miss is the 5 axis IBIS in the R5 but the digital IBIS in this camera is amazing as well.

I shoot with a lot of people and having the ability to provide photoshoots after I capture video is extremely useful. I feel like I bought two cameras for the price of one! My only complaint is the lack of HFR (namely 120fps) autofocus tracking. Really hoping to see this feature released in an update.

The battery thing is real, and theres a full min lag or more between photo and video mode. IF you?ve just shot some video. It goes into stand by mode every time you finish recording. and its length of stand by is relative to the length of shot you filmed. so dont thing you hybrid shooting wedding with this thing. At least not in a kind of quick fire way. 30 sec she, 30 waiting, THEN the switch to camera mode start, another 10 seconds or so for that. So ya know, no where ive seen this mentioned.
