Canon has unveiled a trio of cutting-edge video production solutions designed to meet the evolving needs of filmmakers, broadcasters, and content creators. The launch includes the EOS C50, Canon’s smallest Cinema EOS camera; the RF85mm f/1.4L VCM, the first 85mm lens in its hybrid photo-video lineup; and the CN5x11 IAS T R1/P1, Canon’s widest and lightest CINE-SERVO zoom lens to date.
Together, the products promise to empower creative professionals with versatile tools that push the boundaries of cinematic storytelling across formats ranging from social media content to blockbuster films.
Andrew Koh, Senior Vice President and Head of Singapore Operations Group, Canon Singapore, highlighted the significance of this launch, saying: “Today’s creative professionals need advanced equipment that can keep pace with the depths of their imagination. Canon’s latest product innovations empower both enthusiasts and professionals to push the boundaries of visual storytelling and take their productions to greater heights.”
At the centre of the announcement is the EOS C50, a compact yet powerful hybrid Cinema EOS camera.
Featuring a new 7K full-frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC DV 7 processor, the EOS C50 delivers internal 7K 60P RAW recording and high frame rate capabilities up to 4K 120P and 2K 180P. It also supports 32MP still photography, making it a versatile solution for hybrid creators.
The EOS C50 debuts Canon’s first Open Gate recording in a Cinema EOS camera, allowing editors to reframe both horizontal and vertical shots from the same footage.
With advanced autofocus powered by Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, modular adaptability, livestreaming support, and seamless integration with Canon’s ecosystem—including Frame.io Camera to Cloud—the EOS C50 is engineered for flexibility in modern production environments.
