Canon Cinema EOS C50 To Replace EOS R5 C

[CC88]

Probably not, as expected

Mmm disappointed. How to compete with the FX3 hand held?

The newcamera is not a reliable source.

And I suspect that the era of optional EVFs is long gone.

Switching? People rarely switch systems. Canon doesn't care about switching. Canon owns the majority of camera market share by a very wide margin and that margin is growing. This simply eats into another Sony segment. In total camera sales Canon is the big dog on the block and it aint even close. Canon doesn't care about if don't switch. All the new young users especially those that barf at Sony's outrageous prices are using Canon and even Panasonic cameras.

I barf at Canon's lens prices

You can find better images out there, where it’s clear that this is a prime VCM lens, and you can see that the word “Lens” is printed on the side rather than on the front, unlike the four already-released prime VCM lenses (RF 20mm f/1.4 VCM, RF 24mm f/1.4 VCM, RF 35mm f/1.4 VCM, and RF 50mm f/1.4 VCM). There’s also a visible “8” in the spot where the focal length appears on those other lenses. This strongly suggests it’s the upcoming RF 85mm f/1.4 VCM, featuring a 67mm filter thread and a striking front element that fills the entire lens face.

There are 3 times as many comments on this rumored cinema camera than for the R6 Mark III. As a hybrid shooter I'm more interested in the R6 III but I guess a new camera model is getting people excited.

So, instead of addressing the shortcomings of the R5C that I own,
they decided to trade a few better specs for even more shortcomings.
No EVF = not my camera.

The new rumors sounds like this could also be the new R6 sensor?!?!

 

[landon]

There's been a few mock up render if this camera floating about.

C50 strikes me as being a strange model name. The other two 50 cameras are low-end APS-C.

They decided to do what other companies do with with video-centric cameras, not have an EVF. The Sony FX30 doesn't have an EVF.

I can't wait to see people complaining C50 only has 15stops dynamic range. And they need to pull 6~7EV shadows....

Do you guys think that the C70 will still be superior?

 

[ThomasTH]

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

 

[Mik]

Do you guys think that the C70 will still be superior?

In what way? Will this have ND filtering, XLR inputs, Phantom power for the mics that need it, Audio control knobs, way longer run time through BP-A-batteries, bigger screen? Probably not – so in some ways, I'd say yes.

This will most definitely not have the DGO sensor. Which still gives the C70 an edge for some people. The picture is beautiful and very easy to light and grade. That is worth something.
I also think this camera will have worse battery life, no standard xls and phantom power, and most probably no ND.

Yeah, it seems weird - doesn’t feel like an R5C replacement to me. If it has the compact R50V type body, it sounds more like something in the (hypothetical) R6V type category. I love the EVF. If it doesn’t have it, it should take a removable one.

 

[Canon Rumors]

The article yesterday should have never gone live. It went live twice and I have no idea why. Wrist slap someone when I find out.

That was weird. How many staff does canon rumors have?

 

[Stig Nygaard]

So it's not based on the EOS R5 Mark II sensor. What if previous rumor was a misunderstanding and it is actually based on the future EOS R7 Mark II sensor?
That would make it an APS-C camera (Maybe Super-35 video). I think the name "Cinema EOS C50" would maybe make more sense that way? Well, just a thought. We will soon know

The 4 year old FX3 supports dual slot CFexpress cards doesn't it? Dual SD cards doesn't compete at all when recording in high bitrates to a CFexpress card.
