What do you get when you take the viewfinder hump of a mirrorless camera?
A cinema camera, apparently.
The Sony FX3 really seems to have set a trend, but there looks to be important differences between the C50 and Zr.
The Zr (below) looks to be a more YouTuber style of camera, and appears to sport a very large 16:9 aspect ratio screen. It’s rumoured to have 6K RAW video along with IBIS. A bit more like a Sony ZV1E than an FX3, perhaps. We’ve yet to see what RED technology it implements, whether it’ll shoot N-RAW or REDCODE.
Whereas the Cinema EOS C50 looks to be aimed at the higher-end of the market, around the $4K mark, it is rumoured to lack IBIS and the RF mount isn’t as flexible or adaptable as Nikon Z, but it is one of the first Canon mirrorless cameras to shoot open gate, with an anamorphic mode.
Rumoured C50 specs:
- 32MP FF sensor
- 7k internal Raw at 50fps
- 4k 120p
- Two base ISO of 800 and 6400
- Open Gate
- no IBIS
- no built-in ND’s
- 1 CF express Type B and 1 SD slot
- Price around 4.000 Euros
Rumoured Zr specs:
- 24MP partially stacked sensor (Z6 III)
- 6K RAW
- IBIS
- One SD card slot + one micro SD slot (Weird choice)
- Price expected to be around $2500
The C50 is set to be officially announced later today, with the Zr to follow tomorrow (10th September).
