Canon has announced its smallest, lightest ever cine camera, along with two new lenses. The C50 camera boasts a full-frame 7K sensor (with 60p internal Raw recording).
Aron Randhawa, Senior Product Specialist, Canon, said it is “the first Canon camera to shoot 3:2 Open Gate, which allows more flexibility to shoot widescreen and vertical content simultaneously. It also benefits anamorphic shooting.”
It has an RF mount, a detachable top handle that includes two XLR inputs and audio controls, not usually found in cameras this size, plus dual-base ISO, “which is great for low light”, at 800 and 6400 ISO. “We have done shots at up to 12,800 ISO and can still get a great image.” For further flexibility, it can also shoot 32MP stills in its photographic mode. It ships in November.
The new RF 85mm f1.4 hybrid lens is the fifth in a line of primes lenses designed for both stills and video. It is “fast, small and lightweight” and has a manual iris ring and minimal focus breathing.
The CN5x11 Cine Servo T2.95 lens is also the fifth in its line-up and the widest at 11-55mm (for a 100° angle of view), with a 1.5x extender so it can match focal lengths whether used with S35 or full-frame sensors. It comes with PL or RF mounts and would be perfect for touchline sports coverage that needs a wider perspective.
