Canon Officially Announces the Cinema EOS C50

[Bob Howland]

Does the C50 fully support the Canon Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x introduced with the C70? It appears that there are mounting holes surrounding the lens mount but the adapter would be useful only in Super 35 mode.

Wild guess: Canon will soon introduce an aps-c/Super 35 video camera positioned between the R50V and C50 with the same mounting holes. It'll cost about $1700.

Update: Would the adapter also be useful using APS-C lenses with the camera in Super-16 mode?

Probably works, but it would be a pretty pointless application (adding a focal reducer can induce unwanted flare artifacts), rolling shutter is the same and the dynamic range improvement on the spec sheet is unlikely to be significant, since it isn't a feature that was highlighted in introductory videos.
The holes are there mainly for a PL-mount adapter.
The APS-C model might use a stacked sensor, that would place it closer to the C50 in the lineup.

I can't figure out why the C50 has two raw crop modes, Super 16 and Super 35.

Update: Apparently the R5c had the same two raw crop modes. Since that camera's sensor had more pixels, the crops did also.

If you have Super 35 glass (for instance, Sigma 17-40/1.8), you can still shoot raw video, or get a different look with FF glass (more even background when vignetting is cropped out) or just crop in for wildlife. 5ome use crop mode on the R5c simply to reduce resolution from 8k to 6k.

According to this, using Super 35 does improve dynamic range by a stop as per Canon's claims.
