48 CANON MEGA-TEST PT 1: THE SIBLING CAMERAS We pit the latest EOS R6 III mirrorless against its cinema-style sibling, the EOS C50, to see which makes most sense in various production environments. They both share the same sensor but are aimed at very different users, as we find out... 56 CANON MEGA-TEST PT 2: THE OPTICS The Canon RF mount continues to flourish so we test and rate three essential lenses that could make up a sensible three-part kit but at a wide range of price points. Is the bigger-is-better movement over for the world of AF lenses? 60 HOPE SPRINGS ETERNA We get hands-on with the incredible new super-size Fujifilm GFX Eterna 55 and relish the most attainable way into large format cinematography. With the latest Sigma Aizu prime fitted, it’s a match made in heaven! 68 MINI TESTS: TOP KIT TESTED We get hands-on with a set of three close-up filters from Polarpro, the latest DJI RS 5 gimbal that uses auto tracking, a USB-C mic made for smartphone audio recording and an affordable LED projector attachment.
If you always do what you always did, then don’t be surprised if you get left behind. That’s the message we find as we take a look at what’s working in the new world of commercial filmmaking and how you can be ahead of the game in 2026.
