Canon Cinema EOS C50 to Offer Advanced Features for Indie Filmmakers
The Canon Cinema EOS C50, also known as EOS RC, is set to be a game-changer for indie filmmakers. It combines cinematic features, ergonomic design, and high image quality. The camera is rumored to have a 32 MP full-frame BSI CMOS sensor, providing detailed imagery and versatile framing options. It features a 45 MP sensor (R5 II-derived) capable of 7K at 60 fps in RAW, 4K up to 120 fps, and supports both uncropped and cropped options. The C50 offers Open Gate recording, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, and is expected to be priced between $3,499 and $3,999 (body only). Designed for professional cinema video in a compact form, it is ideal for hybrid shoots, gimbals, stealth filmmakers, and streamers. The C50 aims to redefine the future of cinema-ready cameras with its 7K RAW, 120 fps slow motion, and 32 megapixels, focusing on both exceptional image quality and a versatile, user-friendly design. Canon is blending the professional Cinema EOS line with the versatile EOS mirrorless series, removing the electronic viewfinder, emphasizing an articulating screen, and adding a prominent record button and tally lamp, thus prioritizing video functionality over stills. The EOS C50 can shoot both widescreen and vertical video simultaneously and offers open-gate anamorphic options.
