Another thing to compare is how the manufacturer handles the age old question of an OLPF. The R3, which share the sensor with the C80 and C400 has a pretty weak symmetrical OLPF, but it’s certainly good. The FX3 has no OLPF and is prone to moiré. So is the S1ii and the Z6iii and the Zr, which share the same sensor, and a very weak asymmetrical OLPF. The R5C, the R5ii and the R5 also has an asymmetrical OLPF but is less prone to moiré, maybe because of the 8k sensor. What kind of OLPF Canon put in the C50 and the R6iii remains to be seen…

Yup and thanks to their as always very thorough testing they come to the conclusion that I was expecting: it has the same asymmetrical weak OLPF as the Z6iii, which is very disappointing.

Not good enough.

Zero overheating even in 6k 60p raw. But I live in Scandinavia so take that with a grain of salt. Sadly riddled by moiré though, other than that an amazing camera. Extremely disappointed that Nikons first “cinema” camera seems to be catering to the “content creating” vlog crowd. The only thing that could possibly save this is some sort of new ultra efficient red raw codec and a brilliant OLPF.

Yes, I would prefer no ibis for a multitude of reasons. The C50 is such a chubby FX3 epigone that it has to outclass it in order to not be torn apart by all the shilltubers. Open gate is more or less confirmed, but what sensor and what read out speed and what dynamic range we will see is still unclear. But nice that they put a CFexpress card inside, the rumors were talking about 2x SD.

I really hope they don't ruin it with IBIS. And seeing that they use the LP-E6p, battery life will probably be ok, but not great.

You are welcome.

XQD. And 1.5 generations hardly constitute a “tradition”.

Thank god for that. I presume Canon will put a decent OLPF in it like they normally do, so my biggest concern now is read out speed.

Wonderfully shameless rip off of the FX3. Now let's just hope that the C50 is better than the upcoming FX3ii. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/780PWiZDFo8

That’s down to pure luck. No pro mist filter has ever helped reduced moiré on my moiré prone cameras.

Of course I tried filtration, but as we know filters have no impact on wave interference.

As someone who bought the Z6iii twice and returned it twice I really hope the Zr has a strong OLPF. I loved almost everything about the z6iii but the excessive moiré killed it for me.

Agreed on the screeen, but as a former owner of the Z8 which is all in all a lovely camera I found it to have two flaws that made me sell it: Moiré and overheating, especially when exposed to a little bit of sunlight.
