I owned both the A7S3 and the R5… which is essentially the same image as the R5C. I do agree that the Sony has better dynamic range… but from your comment at 2:35 I can tell you must not have shot with the Canon Eos R3. Because the new sensor in the R3 matches the dynamic range of the C70… which I also owned. The Eos R3 beats the both the Sony A7SIII and Canon R5C in dynamic range and Low light performance… it’s not even close. Check my channel for some footage and ISO testing.

Canon R5C! 1-Color - 2-8K 60p - 3-external power with a 45w power bank that can last for hours - 4- no IBIS because i'm mainly making videos professionally. Cheers
Both great cameras with their own pros and cons. I prefer Canon for the colours and I'm familiar with how Canon cameras operate but it really just comes down to personal preferences.
I used to have the A7SIII, now I have R5C. Sometimes I miss the Sony, sometimes I am super happy with the Canon. Both of them can do amazing quality and almost any project is doable with either. What gave it off to me immediately was the difference in the stability as one of them has an IBIS and one of them doesnt and it shows in a test conducted like this.
Thanks for the video. For me, camera choice depends on use-case scenario. For run-and-gun documentary work, I still use the GH5 with micro four thirds glass, that's the lightest setup I have. For cinema work (fiction shorts, music videos, independent films), I currently use the Lumix S1. I'm sorely tempted by the Canon though, because - 1. RAW (8K 60P) [which is probably why they have that fan], 2. RF lenses / EF lens compatibility with EF-RF Variable ND adapter. I love IBIS for documentary work, but I never use it for fiction. Fiction clients still want me to rent an Alexa or Red. And for indie/smaller projects and as a discreet B-Roll Cam, R5 C is the perfect camera. Not to mention that its DSLR-esque look doesn't grab too many eyeballs when trying to shoot more discreetly. I like the Sony systems, but half my fiction clients would balk a the idea of not shooting RAW (and they really don't care about technical details of 10 bit vs 12 bit etc etc. The standard deliverable for the post studios is RAW). And again, RF mount with the EF-RF ND adapter is superb, since the cinema glass I can rent is mostly either PL or EF mount. And with the EF glass I essentially have a "built-in ND" solution with the adapter. E mount options in cinema glass do exist, but aren't available as easily yet. Thanks again for the video!

Agreed. I use an S1H for doc and corporate and the A7S iii for fashion because super sharp and autofocus
No one craves Sony color.
I got it right from the first shot alone! And I preferred the Canon.
The image on the left has so much depth and dare i say…“cinematic thickness“ to it…like an inherent glow or something…really dig it
With these shots I figured Sony with strong vibrant green and Canon's lack of highlight roll offs. However color matched very close together! Well done!!

For me its got to be the R5C. The UI and LED screen on canons just makes it such a joy to use, Yes the battery is a bit of a downer but then again this is more of an all round camera compare to the A7SIII and one definitely isn’t just going to buy the R5C to vlog. For anyone pro looking for a camera to just vlog, R5C isn’t it. I’m looking forward to getting a R5C because to me it is only camera from Canon at the moment that would solve the problems I have with the C70.

@@reelnatebrown My problem with the C70 isn’t saying it is a bad camera. It’s just that in comparison the C70 is still relatively big and heavier to handle on camera support. Also it’s one to be heavy because of the build quality, the C70 as far as I could tell from almost all the users, the build quality is compromised because of the screen. Canon basically created a camera to fill the gap, making a truly small cinema grade camera in a tiny body. The R5C although doesn’t have the DGO sensor, the image quality still looks good enough (not demonstrates properly in this comparison) and managed to maintain the size / weight of a mirrorless. Also the built quality issue seem to have resolved. I would obviously have to confirm this myself once I get a R5C in my hands. But as far as I could tell from lots of research, it’s looking good here.

This was a perfect review of the two. You're so right about Canon. They just can't seem to get it right in one body. IMO, the most important features for a camera used for video are 1) No overheating, or at least not after such a short time or in the sun. Many professionals shoot outdoors (events, weddings, etc.) and they can't afford to have the camera they're using for video or photos (or both) overheat. I won't buy any camera with this as its crutch. Canon should never have released the R5 and advertised it for 8k when it overheats after just 25 minutes of filming in 8k. What professional is going to feel confident using that? 1) Great autofocus. There's no excuse for poor autofocus these days. We need to rely on focus, especially if we're getting paid for our shoots (weddings, events, etc.). 3) Great IBIS. I realize that there are gimbals to use in the absence of great IBIS for video, but those are a pain: time to setup, batteries / charging to deal with, bigger, heavier, etc. Panasonic has VERY good IBIS, but unfortunately their autofocus is not reliable. 4) Long battery life - This is a must. I see so many people saying they add the large PD USB-C batteries to their setup, but that's just one more thing to attach to your gear - to make it heavier, bulkier. It just seems unnecessary. In 2022, and we shouldn't have to change a battery on a higher end camera after just an hour of shooting. Thanks for the review! (New subscriber. :))

The Sony A7SIII also overheats in direct sunlight so you can’t just hold Canon accountable for it. I own both systems my assistant shoots with the Sony and one time he came at me with the joke “I thought I was using your camera for a sec” showing me the overheating sign and I never expected to see that from a Sony camera. And I’m sorry but you can’t complain about battery life when it comes to the kind of technology we’re being spoiled with nowadays, it’s not like we can have the “2022 tech/features” at no extra power costs. The R5C has more pixels to work with, two operating systems installed/stored within the body, a ton of cine-features with algorithms that demand processing power, etc. It’s easy for us to demand it more battery life, but we have to be part of a camera R&D team of engineers to have an idea what is technically possible and whatnot. I mean, we all know there’s not just DSLRs/Mirrorless cameras in this world, there are also cinema cameras (actual cameras that most AAA movies gets shot with) and they have a huge brick 🧱 battery attached to it. They even mount an ARRI Alexa mini (also with a bricky battery) on a heavy duty gimbal (movi) or Arri’s own steadycam system that’s attached to one single human and they don’t complain carrying and operating dozens of pounds on their body to achieve some great footage. And IBIS/Focus tech on either the Sony or Canon cameras are heaps beyond what we used to have 6 years ago. Were weddings not possible to shoot on Canon DSLRs for example, 9 years ago just because “autofocus wasn’t good enough”? I feel like your comment portrays ungratefulness in a way… Almost as if you started shooting for the past 12 months with only recent equipment and that you’ve never felt the luxury we considered we had even 10 years ago. The tech of a decade ago was still incredible and a luxury at its time. The R5C is a monster of a camera for example and in Gerald Undone’s reviews for both it and the A7SIII, if you compare his Imatest DR results in each review, the R5C has better DR in most areas which is crazy for a Canon camera. And the R5C between iso100 - iso10.000 has better low light performance than it’s Sony counterpart (FX3), watch the R5C vs FX3 low-light test by a KZreadr called Josh.

In my experience it's quite easy to achieve good highlight rolloff for skin with Canon c-log 3 by correcting with curves instead of luts. Canon log to rec 709 luts tend to have too much contrast.
I like the R5C, have had one for a week and a half and had a chance to use it in a few different situations, once using it as a stationary cam on auto ISO to film a dance with wide ranging lighting conditions throughout the show, next for a traditional interview set up. For the dance, it performed great, read the changing lights perfectly, and the colors and sharpness of the image was superb. It's great that it has the cinema menu, which offers a lot more fine tuning than R6 which I also have. The battery life is definitely the biggest concern as it only lasted about 60-65 mins with a full charge running 1080, but am in process of getting an external power source which hopefully solves the problem. Never liked Sony colors, they've definitely gotten better over the years, but it still feels like it's got a look whereas Canon just seems like vibrant rendition of the colors you see.

Been using a Canon 70D for years, and I didn't know the footage on the right was from the R5 C at the beginning. But I gravitated towards it because the footage on the left looked like there was an unnecessary layer of gray over it. As though the color was a little washed out. Have two lenses with my DSLR that can be used on the R5 C along with an adapter. Would love to get my hands on the R5 C someday.

This debate is unnecessary I think. If we talk about the cinematic, we have to think about the codecs.....Sony FX3 sucks. I had it and that made me sell it... Canon is more professional in that sense. Lastly, the image quality... Sony is very digital, very clinical, Canon is much more cinematographic and organic. Finally, Sony's prices are insanely expensive...it's just a brand name.
The Canon for sure … cuz I’m a fan boy and like their stuff… but in all honesty I prefer a softer look and always found canon easier to color grade.

I’m so confused…the R5c should be the clear winner here, but can we go back to where you found the r5c footage to be “mushy”? The 8k or 8k oversampled 4K is mushy? I don’t get it.
Canon seemed to have a better image in darker shadows whereas the Sony had better highlight rolloff. I would say the DR looked the same.
Cam B was my fave and I was hoping it was the R5C because that's MY CAMERA! But there were also a few that were a draw. But my guess was Cam B was the Canon because of the AUTOFOCUS which overall I found superior. I also thought Cam B was Canon from the COLOR of the very first shot - but again, wasn't sure some times.
You left out the big one. Canon is 8K 60 so it needs a fan and the canon always over samples the 4K from the 8K so it is probably processor intensive and generates a lot of heat. As far as reguarding the fan. I also heard stories of the sony overheating in 4k60 or 4k120. That is why they also have the fx3 with a fan.

I also agree that canon has way better colors on camera screen compared to Sony and that’s kinda huge since you’d want to see what you record. Overall both cameras are 🔥. Btw love how the canon r5c with Rf lens loooks!

shutter angle is important as well and the Sony doesn't have that. Over sampling from 8K too..
Seems a little biased. Why fan on Canon and not Sony(low megapixels) because Canon is a 8k sensor (high megapixels) and it is more work to oversample it to 4k. The R5c is a true hybrid best at both stills and video. The R5 is a photo centric hybrid, better at stills, ok at video. The A7s3 is a video centric hybrid better at video but mediocre at stills(low megapixels). This video should be called comparing the 4k of both, that's basically what you did. Definitely not a fair comparison of overall video options, capabilities etc.

My priorities are resolution, fps and unlimited recording in that highest resolution, fps and bitrate.

The N-RAW is nice, but doesn’t work with Premiere and Final Cut for now and there is no ProRes RAW 8k (and even if there were, the file sizes would be impossible). The AF in Video and Photo is also basically the same, so no logarithmic focus curves, face only AF and so on… But most importantly for me: I need an 85 1.2!

The B is the Canon, the stab is better...100% sure...but I love both...both are a good choice!! If I have to sell one...really I don't know...headache
Thanks for the video, Sam. Great comparison! I think the blue tint you mentioned for the Sony is a reflection of the blue sky? Hmm... it's interesting to see that doesn't show on the R5 C though.

Hi. Thank you for watching. I think it’s more to do with the lenses. I noticed it on the S5 comparison I did too. Swapping lenses out makes a huge difference. 🤩🎥🙏🏻
all I want from a camera is unlimited internal raw recording (that isn't prores), outstanding low light performance, the option to shoot uncompressed, and amazing smooth autofocus
Great comparison review. I’d really like to see a 4K 120p comparison between these two cameras.

Ease of editing and color And then the ability to shoot 8K Raw is great option R5c is great for me
if they're going to making bigger just put the NDs inside too. That would seal the deal for many. AND sony does have massive edge on lens options but i def like the canon color and less sharp. I'm deep in sony now but i'd prob go canon if i just started out. hopefully sony can tweak the color issue.
Great video. Entertaining. Great information. No faf. Thank you 🙏

In the comparison shot, are you using standard 4K on the canon, or oversampled from 8K? I wonder if the Canon has an ace up it's sleve with that 8K oversample, or If even that doesn't compare to the Sony 4K.
Solid review mate! 🔥🔥

I think he filmed in c-log 3 on the r5c. C-log 3 is easy to grade but mot the best dynamic range. If he had filmed in raw (c-log 2) on r5c, the dynamic range would be similar to a7siii with the advantage of raw (more flexibility). I have the R3 and a7siii, Raw (c-log 2) on R3 is better than s-log 3 on a7siii for me.
Have you ever done a break down of the cages and rigs you use? Specifically for the R5C?

Hi. No I haven’t done one on this camera but I’m currently working on a setup video for this camera 🙏🏻🎥
I have been wanting to get the R5C for a while now, but not only do they have a $1000 difference MSRP, but now the A7S III is going on sale $1000 less bringing it to nearly half the price. It's a hard decision. I generally get Canon for my ecosystem now, but I have no full frame glass, so either way I have to start at square one with this upgrade.
Hello Sam , great video , to busy with my work . The Canon RC5 is great camera , the quality of the picture, the stabilization , video.......... but the only big problem is the battery for the canon . I think the 2 camera are very good . Great video thank you for sharing , big like 659 .

I get 3 hours of battery life with my R5c on the most taxing mode. (4k60 xf-avc). I mount a nano one 50wh battery. Also hot swappable since you can keep the internal battery in the camera. It uses the v mount first.

Weird that the Sony is sharper...?? I thought the R5C was very sharp because of the down scaling...
I them right on the first clip itself. Having used them both, For me, highlight rolloff is the give away. If R5C had the highlight roll off of a7siii or better yet something like blackmagic, that's would be a dream camera even with quirks like micro hdmi and short battery life. I can live with those but not with harsher highlight rolloff.

The battery life is not at all as rumored - I geared up for it to be terrible and it was anti-climatic. I've only had to change battery once on any shoot thus far with 4K (on 4 hour shoots or so). Key is to use the batteries it says to use - E6NH and not the E6. Big difference.
What would make ‘me’ want to pick up a camera and film more would be if they had a tilt screen option and not the damn, ubiquitous side hinged sticky out screen.
In fact, in Gerald Undone’s Imatest results, the R5C has slightly more DR in most areas than the A7SIII.
Going by the colour I’m guessing B is canon

I got the new R5c from running an R (attached with the Atomos) for production. And I got to say I absolutely HATE the battery life on my R5c. Its anxiety inducing and the IQ I really don't find to be that much more mind blowing then my Rs 10bit footage. Seriously considering selling it.

R5c is better for IQ and sharpness but IMHO the sony is still sharper and has a bit more DR. Both the R5c and A7Siii are pretty easy to color grade though.

I gotta decide tomorrow between a Sony fx3, canon r5c and lumix s1h help!
I guessed correctly because the skin tones are still slightly off from one another. Sony's, even to this day, still have a slight...almost tan like quality to the skin tone while Canon's still have a bit more natural look to them. Sony has come a long way in their colors though.

I’m a Canon person but I preferred the Sony, but not so much that I’d switch. I wish Canon had better low light. I might buy a second hand Sony just for that.

It's impossible for a7siii to have sharper image than R5C!
The dead giveaway with Canon R5/R5C is the highlight recovery or lack thereof rather. The blown out clouds gave it away to me. In regards to the Sony and color science, it's the luminance in skintones that are usually duller than Canon which makes them less pleasing imo.
The Canon R5C is $1,000 more than the A7Siii. That's where my consideration starts from. The word on Canon files is that they are harder to work with in post. Is that still true?
Is the R5C weatherproof or do the vents make it less weatherproof then the R5?
I think downsampling from that 45mp sensor has something to do with the heat.
The good old Canon Cripple Hammer 🔨
Great breakdown! Honestly the only giveaway was the stabilization for me. Color is so subjective and almost always can be tweaked in post

Dope video crazy how the A7S iii held up against that R5C, but I think the A1 vs the R5C would’ve been a fair fight honestly especially when they come around the same high price range
Camera B was the canon becuase of the warmer skin tones. 😁
Preferred the sony on all the shots
0:28- check your face. once you see that effect, you would never want to use the Sony. There's something weird going on there in the darker areas. Perhaps a denoiser? Why Canon needs a fan: it resamples 8k. The R5 is actually sharper, has more detail, despite what the video suggest. (or the R5c has a softer image than the R5)
Thank you Sam, great comparison. Sony is good when it comes to sharpness and low-light shooting, but I believe Canon is more versatile.
what's the Sony lenses used here? Thanks!
It's bang for buck honestly. Have little to no gripes about my R6.
