I do not shoot enough video to pay the premium for this body. For my limited usage, the R5 is more than sufficient. I don't typically shoot 4k in high frame rates or in HQ mode or venture into 8k. So I would keep the R5. If I hooked up an Atomos external recorder, it would accomplish all I foreseeably need, even if I were to up my video content. As someone who is primarily a still photographer, the answer is clearly no. If I was primarily a videographer I would have to look at the full market (yes, including Sony) and see what was best suited my work.

Just think that someone in the other thread saying that it's possible to fix the overheating problem with firmware. Canon obviously chose the hardware solution.

Now that the Nikon Z9 has demonstrated the ability to shoot 8K internally 10 bit, the Canon looks like a dinosaur.

With with 12 bit full frame recording on the Canon R5c I think you got the specs for the R5

It is made for the pro that shoots both stills and video, addressing video concerns of the R5. Canon has addressed and corrected the shortcomings of the R5.

If that's the case, then yes, for sure. Unfortunately no IBIS. That's a deal breaker for me.

If you look at the R5C it is very videocenrtic.
Look at the specs and you will see it is NOT a R5.
IBIS was removed to eliminate the poor quality induced by IBIS in quality video, especially in the edges.
There are a ton of other features built in that stillcentric cameras totally lack like the Z9.
This cannot even be compared to still cameras as they fall way short. This really compares more to the C70 than all the stills cameras with limited video like the Z9.

Thanks! You saved me a lot of money.
Looking at reviews, no one should buy anything.

Where do you get your information that IBIS reduces quality?

Check out that pro level video cameras do not have it.

Life is full of trade-offs. 8K is impractical in most current workflows. So I’ll avoid it until 32K is announced (!).
I don’t use AF when making filmic videos, but my subject matter doesn’t benefit from it, either. So great AF is just a “nice to have” for video. For me, touch screen tap to manual focus is best.
IBIS is a huge benefit for video in most situations, but there are some times when it’s a major hindrance (filming an animal chase from a Land Rover is one). Panasonic’s Lumix GH5S lacks IBIS, due to a multi aspect ratio sensor, so it’s ideal on a gimbal for bumpy ride filming.
Although it’s two years older than this Canon, Panasonic’s Lumix S1H is a much more suitable solution in this class, for now.
The good thing is that Canon is trying. For a while, they kept iterating the 5D series and video capabilities lagged farther and farther behind.
Of course, they don’t want to lose any more pro video market share to even their own MILCs, so maybe that’s why this is “held back a bit.”

Cameras that live on tripods and steadicams wouldn’t need ibis, so therefor they tend to not have it.

You said life is full of compromise so why do we want to have a camera that can do both still and video? Why don't we have cameras optimized for each?
