I've been on the Canon R5 since the start of the year since selling my Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K. The real winner is the amazing AF on the R5 even though I shot this video on a manual focus lens.

It's honestly been a learning curve getting used to the camera. The update with Clog3 has definitely improved the camera's overall image quality and DR. The internal stabiliser is also a real plus which makes shooting handheld doable.

This was a test to see how a film emulation would work with this camera, and also the lowlight and noise performance of CLog3. Overexposing seems necessary when shooting and I don't like to go over 5000 ISO. Still a massive improvement since my Canon 5D mark ii days!

Overall I'm still getting used to grading the image from this camera, but a hybrid camera is what I wanted. As for stills, I still prefer the Sony mirrorless cameras.

Equipment Used:
- Canon R5 in 4K 100fps and 50 fps all handheld
- Zeiss Contax 35mm 2x Oval Installed Manual Focus Lens (Anamorphic fake look)
- Graded in DaVinci Resolve with CLog3 LUT and custom Kodak Portra film emulation LUT. Also grain added in post no NR
