The Canon EOS C50 is a powerful new addition to the Cinema EOS lineup, designed specifically for the next generation of filmmakers and emerging creators who demand high-resolution video and professional-grade performance in a compact and light body.
For those who want stunning 7K internal RAW video, Open Gate Recording, cinematic slow motion, and professional colour grading options all packed into the lightest and smallest Cinema EOS body - the EOS C50 stands out as a versatile tool that simplifies complex shoots without compromising on quality.
This camera is set to unlock cinematic potential.
Open Gate Recording captures video using the full sensor area, maximising resolution and delivering the widest possible field of view. By recording more visual information, this feature gives creators greater flexibility - allowing them to shoot once and crop to multiple aspect ratios in post-production without sacrificing quality. The result is faster workflows, time saved on set, and fewer camera setups.
This feature is especially valuable in productions that require versatile framing options, including:
• Commercials, documentaries, or films with complex scene setups
• Wide landscapes or action sequences where reframing may be needed
• Any project where efficiency and creative flexibility are a priority
Because Open Gate footage preserves the full detail of the sensor, editors can reframe shots, create multiple looks, or crop in on movement without compromising image quality. The outcome is greater workflow efficiency and professional, immersive imagery from a single take.
The EOS C50 features a 7K Full Frame Cinematic Sensor paired with the advanced DIGIC DV7 processor, delivering crystal-clear image quality, internal RAW video up to 7K 60p, and detailed 32 MP photos. The 7K sensor and DIGIC DV7 processor provide exceptional detail, dynamic range, and rich colour. Shooting internal RAW at 7K 60p captures cinematic, crystal-clear footage. The processor also boosts autofocus speed and noise reduction, making shooting smoother and more efficient.
This combination is ideal for projects demanding ultra-high detail and smooth motion, such as high-end cinematic productions beyond 4K. The DIGIC DV7 also improves low-light performance and autofocus speed, making it great even in challenging environments.
Internal RAW recording preserves maximum image information, while the processor enhances autofocus speed, reduces noise, and optimises shooting efficiency. The result is cinematic depth and immersive visuals, with smooth focus transitions, vibrant colour, and beautifully blurred backgrounds that elevate storytelling and emotional impact.
Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 are advanced gamma curves designed to capture a wide dynamic range, preserving details in both shadows and highlights. This gives creators greater flexibility in colour grading during post-production, ensuring footage can be shaped into cinematic, professional-quality visuals. By maximising image latitude, these log profiles retain more information in the video, making it easier to achieve rich, filmic results without losing detail or introducing unwanted noise.
• Canon Log 2 is ideal for projects that demand the highest dynamic range and maximum detail retention, such as high-end cinema productions or scenes with extreme lighting contrast.
• Canon Log 3 offers a faster workflow and easier grading, making it well-suited for productions with tighter post timelines while still delivering a strong balance of dynamic range and detail.
Both options create flat but highly flexible footage that can be transformed into vibrant, cinematic imagery during post-production, giving filmmakers more control over their final look.
The EOS C50 is capable of high-frame-rate recording, allowing you to capture slow-motion footage in stunning 4K at 120 frames per second and in 2K at up to 180 frames per second. This allows fast action to be recorded with exceptional smoothness and detail, making it possible to dramatically slow down motion without sacrificing image quality. The result is a cinematic effect that highlights subtle movements and enhances storytelling by drawing attention to details often missed at normal speeds.
• 4K 120p is ideal for sports, action sequences, and cinematic moments where maximum resolution and clarity are critical.
• 2K 180p is best for ultra-slow-motion shots, delivering extreme smoothness while trading a little resolution for higher frame rates.
Together, these slow-motion options give creators the ability to produce fluid, visually striking footage that heightens emotion and drama, offering viewers a more immersive, cinematic experience.
Weighing in at only 670g, the EOS C50 is Canon’s lightest and smallest Cinema EOS camera body. Designed to be compact and highly portable while still delivering professional-grade performance. Its lightweight build makes it easier to handle during long shoots, reduces fatigue, and improves mobility on set. Creators benefit from faster setup times, smoother handheld or gimbal operation, and fewer crew members needed on location - all without compromising cinematic quality.
A portable design is perfect for gimbal work, travel films, and tight shooting environments where space and weight are limited. It’s also a strong choice for solo shooters or small crews who need a powerful yet easy-to-carry camera that can adapt to different setups quickly.
The result is a seamless shooting experience, enabling creators to capture dynamic, natural footage with flexibility, while maintaining the professional polish expected from a cinema camera.
To get the most out of this camera’s features, pairing it with the right lens is essential. The EOS C50 features an RF mount and is also compatible with the EF/PL adapters, which opens it up to a range of lenses are Canon.
For hybrid shooters who switch between video and stills, hybrid lenses offer unmatched versatility and precision. They allow you to capture high-quality video and sharp photography without changing lenses, making them perfect for fast-paced shoots, travel, or content creation that demands flexibility.
