April 4, 2025

Canon has officially introduced the EOS R5 C in Nepal, designed as a true hybrid camera for creators who need both high-end cinema capabilities and pro-level still photography. Built around a robust internal cooling system, this compact mirrorless camera delivers sustained 8K performance alongside advanced autofocus and a 45MP sensor for high-resolution photography. This article will discuss everything about the latest Canon EOS R5 C, including its expected price in Nepal.

Canon EOS R5 C Overview

Sensor and Recording

Positioned between the worlds of cinema and photography, the EOS R5 C offers internal 8K/60p RAW or Cinema RAW Light recording, with support for HDR video formats like HLG and PQ. For filmmakers, it brings an HDMI 8K RAW output option and a variety of professional features such as 4K 120p slow-motion, Canon 709 preset, and enhanced Clear Scan mode—ideal for use with LED walls in virtual production.

For photographers, the camera is equally powerful. It features a 45MP full-frame CMOS sensor and Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system. This enables up to 20fps continuous shooting and supports intelligent autofocus tracking for eyes, faces, heads, animals, and even vehicles.

What makes this hybrid body special is its internal active cooling fan, enabling long-duration recording even at 8K resolution. Powered by the DIGIC X processor, the R5 C supports Canon’s RF-mount lenses and maintains compatibility with EF lenses using the EF-EOS R adapter.
