In the world of cinema cameras, size matters—but only if you prefer lugging around a sack of potatoes. Enter the Canon EOS C50, the newest kid on the block that dares to be small, light, and impressively powerful—as in 7K RAW video capturing powerful.
Clocking in at a tantalizing price of $3,899, this little dynamo is Canon’s lightest cinema camera yet. It’s like the David of cinema cameras, ready to take on the Goliaths of the industry, including the slightly pricier Sony FX3.
But hold your horses (or handhelds)—with great power comes a little bit of responsibility. While the EOS C50 can crop like a pro with its open-gate full sensor recording, it misses out on in-body image stabilization. That might leave some videographers feeling like they’re in the middle of a bumpy car ride without a seatbelt.
The C50 is set to ship this November, just in time for you to pretend you’re the next Spielberg while filming your friend’s birthday party. Just remember: impressive specs do not replace good lighting and planning. Happy shooting!
