The R5 C is a niche cinema-hybrid (2022): a 45MP stills camera with actively-cooled, effectively unlimited 8K video but no IBIS. No direct successor is confirmed.
What to do now: Buy if you specifically need its stills-plus-cinema mix. If video is primary, compare the Canon C70/C80 and Sony FX line; if stills, compare the R5 Mark II.
This is still well above better recent buying opportunities.
