Product Information
Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera
The Canon EOS C50 is built for creators who work under pressure, engineered for professionals who do it all, whether solo or within a lean crew. From interviews to socials, weddings to independent film making, this camera earns its place on every job. This is Canon's smallest and lightest professional cinema camera yet, opening a world of cinematic possibilities.
The EOS C50 packs a 7K Full Frame sensor with Open Gate RAW recording, 32MP stills, professional I/O and modular handle.
The EOS C50 is positioned as a bridge between the EOS / PowerShot V Series and the Cinema EOS lineup, offering a versatile option for content creators seeking more advanced video capabilities without stepping fully into high-end cinema gear. It is the fifth RF-mount Cinema EOS camera and sits between the EOS R5 C and EOS C70 in Canon’s video lineup. Notably, it is also the second Hybrid Cinema EOS camera, blending the portability and flexibility of mirrorless with the pro-level features of Canon’s Cinema EOS system.
Cinematic 7K Full Frame Capture
Shoot stunning 7K with Canon’s Full Frame CMOS sensor, Dual Base ISO (800/6400), and 15+ stops of dynamic range. Capture 32MP stills at 40fps with ISO up to 64,000 and enjoy oversampled 4K with rich, organic colour reproduction.
Open the Gate for Maximum Flexibility
Unleash your vision with Open Gate 12-bit RAW at 6960x4640 in 3:2. Shoot widescreen, vertical, or anamorphic in stunning detail. Switch easily between Full Frame, Super 35mm, and Super 16mm modes.
Harness the Power of the RF mount
Unlock RF mount speed, power and versatility with prime, zoom, hybrid and cinema lenses. Enjoy premium optics, real-time metadata, fast AF/IS, and seamless PL/EF lens integration via Canon mount adapters.
Sharp. Fast. Reliable.
Enjoy ultra-responsive autofocus with enhanced face, eye, and animal tracking across 100% of the sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. Plus, EOS iTR AF X, Detect Only, Focus Guide, and custom speed settings keep you sharp and ready.
Capture More with High Frame Rates
Shoot scalable 12-bit Cinema RAW Light up to 7K 60p, plus 4K 120p and 2K 180p and oversampled 4K 10-bit XF-AVC (MXF) and XF-AVC S/XF-HEVC S (MP4). CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots enable proxy and multi-format recording for fast, flexible workflows.
Connect like a Pro
The EOS C50 packs pro connectivity: full HDMI, timecode, mic and headphone jacks, USB-C, plus a detachable handle with 2x XLRs. Built-in Wi-Fi and USB-C enable real-time IP streaming, UVC/UAC output, remote control, and Multi-Function Shoe for direct power to compatible accessories.
Sleek, Ultra-Compact Ergonomics
The EOS C50 is Canon’s lightest, most compact Cinema EOS camera, featuring a detachable XLR top handle, 3" articulating touchscreen, active cooling, 14 assignable buttons, zoom rockers, tally lamp, and multiple mounts – perfect for handheld, gimbals, and drones.
Engineered for Live Multi-Cam Action
Unlock full control with Canon XC Protocol accessories and apps like RC-IP1000 and Multi-Camera Control. Oversee multi-camera studios effortlessly with timecode sync, and adjust settings / shading across Cinema EOS, PTZ, and XF Series cameras in real time.
Future-Ready for VFX, Virtual & VR Workflows
The EOS C50 powers real-time lens metadata supporting virtual production and VFX, fully compatible with Unreal Engine and After Effects. Plus, pair it with Canon’s RF 5.2mm Dual Fisheye lens to capture jaw-dropping stereoscopic 180° VR.
