On paper, and even in the hand, the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C has a lot in common with the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5. The Cinema EOS hybrid camera shares many of the same controls, functions and specifications with its 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播 System stablemate, including a compact size, 8K video recording and 45MP stills. So, how do the two cameras differ?

Compared with the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C offers more professional video features, including extensive recording formats, a timecode terminal and a built-in fan. But it also retains the same high-performance stills capabilities of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5.

Here, we examine some of the shared technology and key differences between the two cameras, with expert insight from Aron Randhawa, Product Specialist at Canon Europe.

The headline feature of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C is its ability to record full-frame 8K 12-bit video footage up to 60fps internally in?Cinema RAW Light. While the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 can also record 12-bit 8K RAW movies internally, it does not offer long duration recording.

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C introduces three new options for Cinema RAW Light: HQ (High Quality), ST (Standard) and LT (Light). "It's another example of how the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C gives users much more choice," explains Aron. "With the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, you have either RAW or highly compressed file formats but not much in the way of a middle ground. When you're shooting in RAW on the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, you also have restrictions as to how long you can do it for. That's not the case with the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C.

“You've got so many different options on the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C,” Aron continues. “Not only do you get three versions of Cinema RAW Light, you have XF-AVC that works in the same way as it does with the EOS C70, with many different quality levels available – up to 810Mbps in ALL-I or Long GOP – as well as different resolutions. So, there's a very detailed scale of quality settings available in the camera."

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C and the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 share the same 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor and stills specifications, so it's no surprise that when it comes to photography they produce identical end results, but the process of getting that final image differs slightly in each camera.

The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 comes with sensor-shift IS technology, also known as IBIS (In-body Image Stabilization), which moves the sensor to negate camera shake and delivers an industry-leading 8-stops of stability when paired with an RF lens. The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C features the same 5-axis electronic IS system that's employed effectively in the EOS C70 and the original 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播, which is often preferred in the professional cinema industry when working with manual lenses, gimbals and stabilisation equipment.

"If you are primarily looking for the very best photo performance, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 has numerous benefits," explains Aron. "Not only does it have IBIS, it also has a more compact body that can slip into a smaller camera bag. It's more power efficient, and it has a single user interface, so you can instantly go from taking a photo to recording a video at the press of a button.

"Ultimately, though, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C and 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 are capable of recording high-resolution 45MP images at up to 20fps, and they share the same professional photography functions, such as RAW and C-RAW image capture, the ability to save photos as 10-bit HEIFs, and an interval timer for time-lapse photography."

Although the Canon 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C and 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 share a similar silhouette, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C features some key design differences. The most notable of these is that the body is slightly deeper, in order to accommodate a new thermal exhaust system. A cooling fan dissipates heat from the main body and makes it possible to maintain long duration 8K recording.

"The 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C is still incredibly light though," Aron says. "The body weighs approximately 30g more than the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, but when you hold the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C it doesn't feel like a heavier camera. It also retains the same high-quality build and premium feel to the buttons and dials as the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, as well as the same level of dust and moisture resistance. So even though the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C has a fan, that fan is separate from the electronic components inside the body," Aron explains.

"When you switch the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C to photo mode, you still get the same innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system that's found in the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5, which covers 100% of the sensor area and adds the highly regarded Animal Tracking."

Thanks to their high-resolution full-frame sensors, both the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C and the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 are able to take advantage of Canon's EOS VR SYSTEM. When combined with the RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye lens, EOS VR Utility and the EOS VR Plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro, either camera makes it easy for content creators to produce stereoscopic 180° VR.

"The key thing is that the sensors in these cameras are 8K, which gives the resolution that's required for very high-quality, high-fidelity VR experiences that are really immersive," enthuses Aron. "Compared with the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 however, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C is better equipped for the job. Not only does it offer long form recording, but it can also deliver 8K at 60p, which is a significant improvement that gives the content a more natural, fluid type of motion."

Though the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C and the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 share a similar design and identical video and photo resolutions, they are very different offerings. "There are reasons why you might choose the more photography-focused 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 or even the EOS C70 instead of the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C," Aron suggests. "Compared to the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C, the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 is more compact, with a longer battery life and the benefit of IBIS for photos.

"The EOS C70 comes with built-in ND filters, XLR terminals for professional audio and a much longer battery life. So that's going to appeal to people who are very filmmaking focused. But the 球探体育比分_欧洲杯足球网乐￥在线直播5 C is a hybrid. It doesn't compromise when it comes to image quality, whether you're shooting video or stills, and it's an incredibly versatile camera for solo shooters."
