R5 vs R5C for primarily handheld (!) video

Hi,

considering to switch back to Canon after 2 years 'cheating' with Fuji - just couldn't live with the apsc crop.

So I gotta decide between the R5 and R5C - something I might have to mention is that I do handheld video, I hate gimbals, I am probably getting old - in addition, I mostly use old glass, e.g. manual focus - I probably won't be making much use of the auto focus options. I still gonna get the 24-70 for 'clinical' corporate jobs where i need reliable focus, but thats secondary.

Now, on paper it would seem that the R5 wit stabilization would be the better choice for handheld video, but I am a bit concerned about overheating issues - and on youtube, well, you don't know who to trust anymore.

I am more leaning towards the R5C because of all the additions for video, however I am just a bit worried how it will handle handheld - Of course I gonna add the battery grip, a smallrig frame/handle, monitor etc on it, so it will be heavy - e.g. stable. Of course the R5 is cheaper, especially second hand, so there is that too.

Any thoughts on that, appreciated.

In a month Fuji's latest sensor/processor will be known.

A speedbooster(viltrox is one) with EF glass gives a FF perspective and the crop is handy too.

The X-H bodies are very well sealed,ergos are nice.A choice of 26 or 40+ mp.IBIS and plenty of small light lenses(that you can use manually).

H1 has the nicest shutter too, I hope thats included with the NewBys.

It'll be worth the wait$ I think.
