C50 GO! Smallest Cinema EOS packs big 7K punch Canon’s EOS C50 is a new addition
to its Cinema EOS line that delivers big capabilities in a small body. Designed for filmmakers and hybrid creators, the full-frame RF mount camera combines professional video performance with high-res stills for one of the most adaptable tools in Canon’s line-up. Its newly developed 7K full- frame CMOS sensor is paired with Canon’s Digic DV 7 processor. This combination enables internal Raw video recording at up to 7K/60p, slow- motion capture at up to 4K/120p or 2K/180p with no cropping and still photos at 32 megapixels. It supports Canon’s Cinema Raw Light video, as well as a range of professional formats, including Canon Log 2 and 3, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. The £3300 C50 is also the first Cinema EOS model to offer open gate recording using the full 3:2 sensor area. This format provides flexibility for reframing in post, enabling creators to extract both widescreen and vertical content from the same take. The EOS C50 interface switches between Cinema EOS video menus and a classic EOS R stills layout for intuitive operation in either mode. Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II brings fast, reliable subject detection and tracking for both stills and video, with eye selection and subject recognition covering people, pets and birds. A modular body includes mounting points for rigging and it’s compatible with a detachable handle unit, which adds two full-size three- pin XLR inputs, physical controls and camcorder-style ergonomics. A fan ensures no overheating. Connectivity is comprehensive, with CFexpress and SD card slots for simultaneous recording, HDMI and USB-C outputs, timecode, Wi-Fi and support for the Content Transfer Professional mobile app. It offers UVC/UAC live streaming, the Canon XC Protocol for remote control and direct Frame.io C2C integration. The new £1800 RF 85mm f/1.4L VCM will be perfect to deliver classic portrait versatility in a more compact build than L-series glass. Its focus breathing suppression and 11-bladed aperture will make it ideal for video. canon.co.uk
