Rumors of a Canon EOS R5c and EOS R5s [CR1]
Autumnal signs and the god of longevity: Monday’s best photos
September 21, 2020If you’ve updated your iPhone to iOS 14, you can tell when your camera is spying on you
September 21, 2020While we have had numerous mentions of a high-resolution EOS R camera coming down the pipeline, Canon Watch is reporting than Canon will also introduce a video focused EOS R camera, which will be different than the upcoming EOS C50 and EOS C70.
I’m calling the cameras ‘EOS R Video’ and ‘EOS R high-resolution’.
A direct quote of specifications:
- EOS R Video: has the same sensor technology as the EOS R5 but with half the resolution
- EOS R Video: records 4K/120P with no crop
- EOS R Video: does 2.8K supersampling in super35 mode
- Both have a newly developed heat sinks
- EOS high-resolution: has “double-width resolution sensor of EOS R6“ (This would put the resolution at 80mp if I’m understanding that correctly.)
- EOS High-resolution: does 12fps
- Dual Pixel AF performance in low light better than EOS R5 and EOS R6.
- EOS High-resolution: “high resolution monster being hybrid for quality and speed“
While I know a high-resolution EOS R camera is in the pipeline, I’m not too sure about a video focused EOS R camera. We have both the EOS C50 and EOS C70 RF mount cinema cameras on the horizon, and from the outside, it looks like Canon wants to segment video cameras and still/hybrid cameras.
Stranger things have happened though.
