It’s finally here, the Canon EOS C50 – Canon’s long-awaited response to the enormously popular Sony FX3. It isn’t a fair fight, however, as the latest Cinema EOS body annihilates the four-year-old Sony with a spec sheet that will have videographers and creators heading to MPB and KEH to look up the trade-in value on their kit.
The Canon EOS C50 packs a new 32MP full-frame sensor with dual base ISO, capable of 7K 60p internal RAW and open gate capture, Dual Pixel Autofocus II, 40fps bursts for stills, a modular design with removable handle, twin XLRs, full-size HDMI, 4-channel audio, Canon Log 2 and 3 with 15 stops of dynamic range, Frame.IO support, active cooling system… and a price tag lower than the FX3’s.
