Although I was able to make it work, things like overheating made it a little less than ideal for recording long form content, such as the <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Mvn_ow8LATU\">in-depth video walkthroughs of iOS updates<\/a> that I like to do. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/bhpho.to\/3Mi00qW\">Canon\u2019s recently released R5 C<\/a> addresses the overheating problems, but also provides quite a few enhancements that Mac users, and Canon enthusiasts in general will appreciate. <\/p>\n<p><span ><\/span>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Before I get into my full list of nearly 40 features, I thought it would make sense to first share a few of the features that may appeal most to Mac users. For example, the 14- and 16-inch MacBook Pro (and Mac Studio) feature an SD Card reader, and the Canon R5 C lets you shoot high quality All-I 8K video directly to an SD Card.

On the standard R5, Canon uses a codec with a 1300 Mbps bitrate, which is great for capturing an insane amount of detail, but makes it difficult for an NLE, like Final Cut Pro, to handle. The 8K HEVC codec on the R5 C features a much more reasonable 540Mbps bit rate, which still looks great, but is a whole lot easier to massage in post.<\/p>\n<figure  blog_id >\n<figure ><img

workflow<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately I forgot to mention one of the really awesome features of the R5 C in my video walkthrough, but I\u2019ll take the liberty to do so right here. When shooting RAW, the R5 C lets you record 8-bit XF-AVC or MP4 proxies to your SD Card, which can definitely speed up workflows when you need a quick turnaround. Even older Macs will be able to easily slice through such footage, and once the edit is complete you can relink the RAW files before delivery in Final Cut Pro.<\/p>\n<h2>9to5Mac\u2019s Take<\/h2>\n<p>Of course, these aren\u2019t the only features of the EOS R5 C that I enjoy, but I wanted to first consider the items that I thought would most appeal to Mac users. In my video walkthrough, I also discuss tons of additional features that serve as upgrades over the baseline Canon R5. <\/p>\n<p>Granted, the camera is far from perfect, and is <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"#\" onclick=\"postYoutubePlayer.seekTo(1262); return false;\">missing some key feature that would have been nice<\/a>, but it seems like Canon is listening to user feedback more than they have in the past. I was recently at NAB 2022 in Las Vegas, and a Canon engineer quipped that I was the only person that he had met on the showroom floor with the R5 C. He then amicably grilled me on how I liked the camera, and seemed to be very serious about taking my feedback and even wrote it down to take back to Japan. <\/p>\n<p>Right now we\u2019re living in the golden age of digital video, with tons of options for capturing ridiculously high quality footage at prices that would have seemed like a dream not that long ago. There are amazing camera\u2019s like the Sony FX 3, Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 6K Pro, etc. But for me, the Canon R5 C is my favorite of them all given the amount of power, flexibility, size, and features.
