QUESTION: When the camera is in standby, is there power to the lens? Can you adjust the aperture in standby? Does the lens only go dead when you hit record?

 

It goes dead when i select 8k50p, but in other modes the lens functions, so you can preset the lens before switching to 8k50p.

Lol

Anyway there might be update coming to fix r5c battery life, apparently it still does the super sampling while not recording.

I might need to try on light lens (the 50/16 rf), atm only have L RF lens

Btw this is how I usually shoot with r5c, use powerbank connect directly to camera

Could you test with a full battery 8k RAW LT 50p with AF and IS on? As some reviewers (who trust them 🙂 ) mention that it works up to 50p....

Still doesn't work with full Battery

So, no IS provided in-lens going with 8K 50p/60p?

If using internal battery, if powered external there is IS from the lens.

So what brand of external battery do you use? And I thought you can use the internal battery for recording in 8K 50/60p raw, you just loose all power to the lens. Is this not the case? 

Oops u r right, it can record internally but will show this message.

I use mi powerbank pro 3 20000mah 45w, I see they have new model with 50w power, u just plug usb-c/usb-c port to both the powerbank and on the camera, no need decoupler

Are you sure that is a 18w pd? R5 needs 45w pd for charging while on, I’m surprised that R5c works with 18w

Does 8k 50 work with IS and AF on internal battery?

8k50p won't work with internal battery, only external, yeah you are right it is a 45w powerbank, got mixed up with my other 18w pd.

Very nice.  So with a battery grip and power offs between shots is 80plus minutes doable?

Should be? But I would rather use powerbank which last ages, today I did an 8 hour shoot of talking to cam on 2K, the 20000mah 18W PD powerbank still have 1/4 power left.

Btw those Lumix lens bag is sooo useful, I still use them to put small stuff like powerbank or accesories lol.

Congrats! Where did you order from (and what time of day)? I'm still waiting for mine. 

I think NZ and Australia got the first shipment? 🤔  I m from NZ 

C70's raw file size is much more manageable than c200/c300's 1gbps monster and that's only 10bit in 4k50/60p vs 12bit on c70.

The 2k raw is even usable in wedding too lol (for ceremony, not sure about reception cause of lowlight on s16 crop).

This raw update really makes c70 attractive! No need bulky external monitor + battery if you want compact raw cinema camera.

Got the R5c today, checked the video AF and it locked on fine.

512GB only last 30min of 8k50p, on 5.9k 50p it last nearly an hour which is more doable.

Might have to use the speedbooster again for 5.9k raw 🤔

And battery life is much worse than R5, 4k50p last 40 something min so I guess I will be pairing with my 18w pd powerbank for long tripod shoot..

Btw absolutely no video on photo mode. You have to switch mode to do video and vice versa.

Body and operating wise it feels like mini c70 when shooting video, better balance with lens than R5 I reckon.

I went to the R5 after a few Sony/Panasonic cameras later after GH5

Now waiting for R5C

magenta skintone is fixed too  (canon slog3 also have magenta skintone problem grr)

Just saw potato jet's review, really impressed with DR Boost on GH6, the Canon mirrorless camera's DR is soo lacking

Checking Gordon's preview of R5C it definitely fixed the annoy thing I had with R5 when shooting interior archiecture walk through, the oversampling 4K50/60P fixed the annoy aliasing issue on some details, and IBIS wobble when paired with UW lens.

Though handheld shoot R5 will still be better due to IBIS, but sadly most of my shoot is on gimbal 99% of the time so kinda make IBIS moot.

Anyway I got company to preorder one.. hopefully to get one in march, it should pair up nicely with the existing C300III/C70/R5.

My 20,000mAh 45A Powerbank should support 8K60P without problem.

We use the r6 and r5 as b cams for video at work. If you’d shot with them for any amount of time you know the ibis is not up to the task for professional work. The amount of times we got back to see weird warps on our footage is simply too high to trust it.

Especially on focal length from 24mm and wider

Oh I agree, the C70 will always be the better option if you are only shooting video, but if the R5c keeps all of its photography features as well it will have no equal for run and gun hybrid shooters like me since the C70 has zero photography capabilities.

The R5c sounds like it could be the general purpose workhorse photography camera while still providing enough usable video features for event videos, music videos, weddings, promo videos, etc.

If Canon strips out the photography features then they will finally once and for all be dead to me.

C70 does capture 8MP JPEG photos, so not 0 photography capability

The new smaller RAW should make it more doable for filming. The size of RAW video is always a headache

Gonna tell the company to preorder this one instead of R3, for form factor I still prefer the R5 more

So funny that the "doomed" EOS M system still going while Sony APS-C just stopped like that.

Speaking of holding colour better at mixed lighting, I found that is true with c300iii than r5. In a recent music video shoot full of rgb light, my r5 looks like purplish while c300 iii look really blue on a blue lighted wall with a top panel light on tungsten colour. I think the r5 sensor got polluted by that top panel light but c300 iii holds on.

I’m glad they are taking the shutters out. More room for other things.

Benefits of quad-pixel? Better AF acquisition horizontal and vertically? I’m really impressed already with R5 and A1 tap-to-track and eye/face/body tracking. 

Hopefully build in eND now there is no physical shutter

4k25p/30p on most camera can shoot fine without overheating, 4k50p/60p is another story though.
