Canon EOS R5 C Black 2023
The Canon EOS R5 C pairs a 45MP full-frame sensor with internal 8K/60P Cinema RAW Light recording and 20fps mechanical burst. It uniquely blends Cinema EOS video tools with RF-mount stills performance, but lacks in-body stabilization and weather sealing. Best for hybrid filmmakers and video professionals who need uncompromised 8K RAW capture without an external recorder.
