In anticipation of the start of IBC 2025 Canon has announced the new EOS C50 cinema camera, the latest addition to their cinema EOS system. The EOS C50 is a compact, full-frame cinema camera featuring 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, designed to make it ideal for handheld and verité shooting.

The lightweight design and mobile form factor of the EOS C50 camera are designed to provide a more compact, ergonomic cinema camera for a variety of settings and shooting styles. 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 more 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 new lens provides the ability for extreme background blurring with a F1.4 Maximum aperture, and well-controlled focus breathing.
