Canon has done it again—the brand-new EOS C50 Cinema Camera is here, and it’s changing the game for filmmakers, content creators, and hybrid shooters. Don’t let its compact size fool you—this little beast carries a newly developed 7K full-frame CMOS sensor, high frame rate recording, and even 32MP still photography capabilities, making it one of the most versatile tools Canon has ever built.
Big Sensor, Bigger Possibilities
At the heart of the EOS C50 is a 7K full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers stunning detail, rich dynamic range, and incredible low-light performance thanks to dual base ISO (800 and 6400). Whether you’re filming in cinematic RAW or grabbing high-quality stills, this sensor ensures your footage stands out.
And for the first time in the Cinema EOS line, you can shoot full-frame 3:2 open gate, unlocking flexibility in post for reframing, cropping, or pairing with anamorphic lenses.
Recording Options Built for Every Creator
Canon clearly designed the EOS C50 for maximum versatility:
-
7K up to 60P in Cinema RAW Light (with HQ, ST, and LT flavors)
-
4K up to 120P with full autofocus and subject detection
-
2K up to 180P for ultra-slow-motion work
-
Simultaneous 2K crop recording (9:16, 9:17, or 1:1)—perfect for social content while capturing your master footage
No more wasting time in post reformatting for TikTok, Reels, or Shorts—you can deliver in multiple aspect ratios in-camera.
Autofocus That Doesn’t Miss
The EOS C50 brings Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF II to the Cinema EOS line, with nearly 100% frame coverage and intelligent deep learning subject detection. Expect eye tracking, human/animal detection (yes, even birds), and autofocus that locks on no matter how chaotic your scene gets.
Even at 4K/120P, autofocus remains active and reliable—something shooters have been begging for.
Compact, Customizable, and Ready for the Field
This is Canon’s smallest and lightest Cinema EOS camera to date. Its flat design makes rigging easy, whether you’re building it up for cinema production or running lightweight on a gimbal.
The included detachable handle adds:
-
Two pro-grade XLR inputs with 48V phantom power
-
REC button and zoom rocker for direct control
-
Flexibility for low-angle and handheld shooting
Despite its compact body, the C50 packs all the ports you’d expect—HDMI, timecode, USB-C, headphone, and remote terminals—plus support for Ethernet and Wi-Fi XC Protocol remote control.
Next-Gen Workflow Features
Canon didn’t stop at capture—the C50 is built for modern workflows:
-
Adobe Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud integration: Upload proxies instantly for remote collaboration
-
Virtual production support with CV protocol and metadata extraction
-
PL-RF lens adapter support (with Cooke /i Technology) for cinema glass integration
-
Dual card slots (CFexpress + SD) for simultaneous or proxy recording
This is a production-ready camera, whether you’re shooting a film set, documentary, wedding, or streaming project.
Still Photography Powerhouse
Flip a switch, and the EOS C50 becomes a mirrorless photo camera:
-
32MP still capture
-
Up to 40fps continuous shooting
-
ISO up to 64,000 for low-light stills
-
Full Dual Pixel CMOS AF II functionality
For creators who juggle between video and stills, the C50 means one body can finally do it all.

Filmmakers needing RAW and slow motion in a small body
-
Content creators looking to shoot for multiple platforms at once
-
Hybrid shooters who want cinema-quality video and high-res photos in one camera
