Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera
OPEN A WORLD OF CINEMATIC POSSIBILITIES
One camera. Limitless potential.
The Canon EOS C50 is built for creators who work under pressure, engineered for professionals who do it all, whether solo or within a lean crew. From interviews to socials, weddings to independent film making, this camera earns its place on every job. This is Canon's smallest and lightest professional cinema camera yet, opening a world of cinematic possibilities.
The EOS C50 packs a 7K Full Frame sensor with Open Gate RAW recording, 32MP stills, professional I/O and modular handle.
The EOS C50 is positioned as a bridge between the EOS / PowerShot V Series and the Cinema EOS lineup, offering a versatile option for content creators seeking more advanced video capabilities without stepping fully into high-end cinema gear. It is the fifth RF-mount Cinema EOS camera and sits between the EOS R5 C and EOS C70 in Canon’s video lineup. Notably, it is also the second Hybrid Cinema EOS camera, blending the portability and flexibility of mirrorless with the pro-level features of Canon’s Cinema EOS system.

New Technology Explained
Open Gate recording
Open Gate is a method that captures video using the entire area of a camera’s image sensor, rather than cropping full frame lenses to standard aspect ratios like 16:9 or 17:9. By utilising the full sensor height and width – often in formats like 3:2 or 4:3 – Open Gate maximizes resolution and image data. For example, a full-frame sensor might deliver a full 7K image at 6960x4640 using Open Gate, whereas a traditional 17:9 DCI aspect ratio would reduce the height of the image to 6960x3672.
The key advantage of Open Gate is flexibility. It provides more room in post-production for reframing, stabilisation, and high-resolution delivery across multiple formats. This is especially valuable for creators delivering to both cinematic and social platforms, allowing for simultaneous 16:9, 9:16, or even square aspect ratios from a single source. In addition, utilising the full height of the sensor also benefits anamorphic shooting by capturing a larger cinematic field of view.
