Story Highlights
Canon U.S.A. is rolling out the new EOS C50 cinema camera, the newest addition to Canon's cinema EOS system. The compact, full-frame cinema camera features a brand new 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, 7K 60P internal RAW recording and 32 megapixel still photo capture, making it a true hybrid camera. Weighing approximately one and a half pounds, the EOS C50 is Canon's smallest and lightest cinema camera ever, making it ideal for handheld and verit shooting.
At the heart of the Canon EOS C50 camera is the 7K full-frame CMOS sensor.
Canon says the lightweight design and hyper-mobile form factor the EOS C50 camera meets growing demands from shooters who are increasingly looking for compact, ergonomic cinema cameras for a variety of settings and shooting styles. Excellent for large- and small-scale productions, documentary shooting in the field, social media video creation, sports, and more, the EOS C50 camera features a detachable top handle which adds two full-size XLR audio inputs, a start-stop button, and a zoom rocker for unbeatable agility. It also features an RF-mount, lending it native compatibility with a wide variety of Canon lenses, such as the new RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid Lens. The Canon EOS C50 camera is currently scheduled to ship towards the end of Q4 of 2025 for an estimated retail price of $3,899.
At the heart of the EOS C50 camera is the 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, which is capable of a Dual Base ISO of 800 and 6400 in Canon Log 2, and 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording at up to 7K 60P. This powerful sensor is coupled with a DIGIC DV7 processor. The EOS C50 is the first camera in the Cinema EOS lineup to feature the full frame 3:2 open gate recording. In addition to Cinema RAW Light and the standard XF-AVC, the EOS C50 camera also features XF- AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording codecs, proving an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, all while preserving metadata and recording in the familiar MP4 format.
Social media shooters will enjoy that the EOS C50 camera is capable of simultaneous crop recording when shooting in 4K DCI or UHD, allowing you to record at a chosen aspect ratio while also recording a cropped portion of the frame in 2K. When shooting in simultaneous crop mode, the three format options include: 9:17, 9:16, or 1:1.
For those looking for camera connectivity, the EOS C50 camera supports XC protocol which allows for remote control over IP via Wi-Fi or a compatible third-party USB-C ethernet adapter. The EOS C50 camera is also compatible with the Multi Camera Control App and features native integration of frame.io camera to cloud.
Also look for the new RF-Mount RF85mm F1.4 L VCM Hybrid lens, the latest addition to Canon's line of VCM lenses, designed for shooters who increasingly are seeking powerful options whether shooting stills or video content. The RF85mm F1.4 L VCM has a focal length of 85mm, making it perfect for portrait-style shooting. The lens provides beautiful background blurring, as well as a F1.4 Maximum aperture, and well-controlled focus breathing.
And Canon today also took the wraps off the new CINE-SERVO 11-55mm T2.95-3.95 lens, a groundbreaking 8K addition designed to elevate cinematic storytelling. With an ultra-wide angle of 100 degrees, which is wider than Canon's previous widest cine-servo lens, this lens offers outstanding versatility for professionals across sports, live events, houses of worship, and beyond.
With 11mm focal length, equivalent to 4.1mm on a 2/3-inch broadcast camera, the CINE-SERVO 11-55mm captures expansive scenes with ease.
Crafted for broadcasters, the CINE-SERVO 11-55mm T2.95-3.95 delivers stunning image quality with Super 35mm sensor coverage, expanding to full-frame capability when paired with its built-in 1.5x extender. Its lightweight design and improved center of gravity make it an ideal companion for dynamic shoots, while the 11mm focal length, equivalent to 4.1mm on a 2/3-inch broadcast camera, captures expansive scenes with ease. Whether zooming to 55mm or extending to 82.5mm with the extender, the lens delivers sharp details and vibrant visuals.
The lens features a newly developed drive unit with fast focus and iris speed, Focus Breathing Compensation, and a USB-C connector for personalized settings. The drive unit equipped with a 16-bit absolute value encoder provides accurate positional information for virtual production. Available in RF and PL mount versions, it offers autofocus with RF Mount, and Cooke/I Technology, Zeiss eXtended data with PL Mount, catering to a range of production needs. The programmable rocker switch provides precise zoom control, while ARIA compatibility enhances illumination performance, and ALAC compatibility provides aberration correction with compatible cameras.
