Canon first teased an 8K Cinema EOS camera back in 2015 at the Canon EXPO, we’ve also seen some other sightings at various tradeshows over the years. Now that we have 8K capability in the Canon EOS R5, the next step for Canon will be to introduce a Cinema EOS camera with 8K capture.

I have been told that Canon will introduce not one, but two 8K Cinema EOS cameras in 2021. One of the cameras will be a flagship camera with “A camera” aspirations, likely in the form factor of the Canon Cinema EOS C700.

The second one I have been told will be a more modular camera in the same vein as the Cinema EOS C300 Mark III and Cinema EOS C500 Mark II. Where it exactly fits into the Cinema EOS ecosystem is unknown at this time.

I don’t expect an announcement until around the NAB 2021 timeframe, which usually occurs in April.

    It will fit comfortably in the spot one notch above the EOS C500, which is a 6K camera.

    I’m thinking $22000 USD. Your guess?
  3. Given that the R5 only overheats slowly it should be no problem to dissipate the heat from the processor efficiently to the environment, much like laptops without fan. No need for liquid cooling or powerfans, a metal heatsink on the outside connected to the processor via heatpipes should do.
