Canon Set To Announce New Cinema Gear On January 19 (is it the EOS R5c?)

Canon will announce a new Cinema camera on Wednesday, January 19, 2022. We think it might be the rumored Canon EOS R5c.

Rumored Canon EOS R5c specifications:

• 45mp full-frame sensor (same as EOS R5)
• DIGIC X
• IBIS
• Canon Log 3
• Canon Log 2 is still being discussed
• No Internal NDs
• 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.

Canon itself teased the announcement of the Canon EOS R5c with the description “ready for anything”. On Canon Europe’s YouTube channel the announcement is already teased. The announcement is scheduled for Wednesday, 19 January, at 07:00 EST / 12:00 GMT / 23:00 AEST.

The latest Canon Cinema EOS System release is coming and it will be “Ready for Anything.” Prepare yourself and stay tuned for more information on January 19, 2022 at 7 AM EST.

Hosted by Ram Sarup, Pro Video Product Specialist at Canon Europe, attendees will get a first look at this innovative new camera and the opportunity to hear about its ground-breaking new features.
