Should I get the R5C? I've been thinking about leasing it on Amazon through Affirm. I have all my plans sorted out to afford all my expenses and all I need to do is just make a decision. Can anybody give me any thoughts or advice? Thank youu

I need a new camera to replace my broken R50. I shoot music videos, studio recording sessions, interviews, and vlogs. I also plan on getting the 15-35mm RF lens to get that wider frame for music videos.

It would be a considerable difference being that the R5C is a cinema camera. The only thing it lacks from other cinema cameras such as the EOS C70 is built-in ND filters which can be incredibly useful.
It will definitely be heavier than your R50. But more of a concern would be if you intend to take advantage of the higher-end codecs. File sizes can be massive, so if wanting to work with such footage, be sure you have ample drive space and backup space.
I would actually recommend a day or two rental so you can take it for a spin and see how it would fit in to your existing video pipeline.

Coming from the r50 you will get a completely different camera menu too. The r6ii is a little easier to use if you are not familiar with the cinema menu system. Definitely rent the r5c first maybe from lens rentals, you can find a discount code online sometimes. If you are shooting a lot of slow-mo then the r5c is a must with the cooling fan. But if you need a more simple set up then the R6ii might be the better option. 🙂 hope this helps.
