I wonder if there's a thermal management reason keeping it from shipping with compressed raw formats. All in all a very tempting camera, but in no context do I ever want to produce files that large. -
Yeah I haven't seen any C50 reviews really mention let alone showcase the digi zoom feature. I kinda stumbled upon it when menu diving and was shocked how effective it was, especially the range! The RF lens system actually isn't that expensive when you look at the STM range. The new 45mm f1.2 being priced under $500 is especially enticing and will be the first one I cop. The L primes are pricey AF and don't have lens IS so I'll probably stick with STM's and maybe even venture back into EF as they're so cheap these days and work like native RF. Some interesting third party cine RF lenses have also appeared (Canon is ok with licensing RF mount to manual glass manufacturers).. But as far as adaptability Nikon Z mount is killer and one of the main reasons I was so tempted to join that system. R3D RAW is also a great image pipeline, if only Nikon would offer lighter version. I mean REDs RAW compression is the whole purpose of their patent and ironically them suing Nikon. It feels such a waste to not offer it here but ok gotta remember it is a first gen product! -
I didn't know that the c50 had digital zoom like that. Neat! Canon stabilized lenses were my go to shooting tool for such a long time and I'm sure the new ones are better than the Ef generation. What I can't stomach is the price of new glass and being locked into a particular lens aesthetic when I want to shoot handheld. But all things considered, as a tool, good lens stabilization can be more organic and less artifact prone than ibis. I've seen some stabilization tests with the digital is and I am not impressed. I also expect Nikon will come out with more professionally oriented cameras soon. Renting a c50 is a good call. If it feels right in hand and you like the images you'll cut through the noise.

Yeah, I'm still torn between the C50 and R6 Mark III (ZR is lingering but fading). C50 wins big on the XLR handle for clean audio, tally lights, active cooling, and all the cine extras. The real killer is the zoom rocker up to 4x digital zoom via the levers, turning any prime into a smooth parafocal telephoto. That's massive for run&gun when you can't swap lenses; Sony/Nikon hybrids top out around 1.5x in 4K. But no IBIS is a legit worry: digital + gyro + lens IS might work, but I need to rent and test further to see if it's a deal-breaker. R6 Mark III gives me IBIS, open gate for post cropping/vertical, hybrid stills/video balance, and an EVF. FX3 is still solid (clean 4K up to 120p, great high-ISO, gyro stab) but buying one this late feels off when open gate is high on my list. Short version: C50 for XLR, cine tools and that crazy digital zoom reach, R6 III for IBIS + open gate + reliability. Renting the C50 soon to settle the stab question. Oh, and the ZR is likely getting the axe.. too many quirks for my needs.

I just thought I'd ask because I'm enjoying this starting point rather than the Panasonic Standard profile for the GH4. I'm shoot the GX800. ProColor is giving me a really nice starting point for different film stock looks. I think @Andrew - EOSHD was going for the 1DX mkII when he made the profile in the first place. Ultimately, if you like it, it's good.
