Rumored Canon EOS R5C Specifications

Canon will allegedly announce a new Canon EOS R5C in Q1 of 2022. This will be a cinema camera that is designed specifically for videographers.

Here are the updated rumored specifications of the upcoming Canon EOS R5C.

Updated Canon EOS R5C Specifications

  • Canon Log 3
  • Canon Log 2 is still being discussed
  • Unlimited 8K30P recording in Cinema RAW Light. XF-AVC and MP4
  • Timecode in/out
  • The same multipurpose hot shoe as the EOS R3. Which will work with accessories such as the Tascam XLR module.
  • Active cooling
  • 3/8″ or 1/4″ mounting point on the EVF for a top handle that won’t interfere with the hot shoe.
  • Full-size HDMI Port
  • The LCD has been moved further back to accommodate the cooling fan. So this likely means that it won’t recess into the body like the Canon EOS R5.
