An interview from the 2025 International Broadcasting Convention in Amsterdam with Aron Randhawa at the Canon Booth.

At IBC 2025, Canon introduced the new EOS C50 camera designed to maximize creative freedom in both photo and video. The compact, full-featured camera body includes Canon's newly developed 7K full frame CMOS sensor with 3:2 open gate internal recording capabilities, 4K/120P and Cinema RAW Light up to 7K/60P. The EOS C50 features Canon’s next-generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, simultaneous 2K crop recording, built-in Frame.io Camera-to-Cloud integration, and supports XC protocol which allows for remote control over IP via Wi-Fi® or a compatible third-party USB-C ethernet adapter. The included detachable top handle adds two full-size XLR audio inputs, a start-stop button, and a zoom rocker. In addition, this camera can capture 32MP still images in Photo mode. The EOS C50 seamlessly integrates into almost any production environment, delivering flexibility and outstanding image quality in a package that practically fits in the palm of your hand.


The EOS C50 features a newly developed 7K full-frame CMOS sensor. The sensor offers exceptionally low noise, enabling it to excel in a wide variety of lighting situations and maximizing the camera’s full dynamic range. The high resolution and realism of 7K enable richer creative expression as well as greater flexibility in workflows, including oversampled 4K 60P.

The EOS C50 is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature open gate recording options, utilizing the full dimensions of the sensor. By selecting Full Frame 3:2 from the Sensor Mode section of the main menu, you can shoot using the full area of the sensor and then use that information in post to crop and re-frame your footage to the aspect ratio of your choice. This is especially valuable when shooting with full-frame anamorphic lenses.

The EOS C50 can record up to 7K 60P Cinema RAW Light with an additional three 12-bit Cinema RAW Light recording modes: HQ, ST and LT.

Other recording options include our standard XF-AVC codec which can record in 10-bit 4:2:2, creating rich detail and smooth imagery at frame rates up to 120P, without cropping the image from the sensor. For slow or fast motion recording, the EOS C50 can support up to 4K 120P and 2K 180P.

Additionally, the C50 features the XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S recording codecs. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.

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.
