Canon Should try any current Lumix camera for hand held IBIS work. They are very good and there is a good portion of what I shoot now where I don't have to be on a gimbal!

IBIS for me was a total game changer, and it's crazy that no one has been able to come close to Lumix in this department.

OK, the new Canon looks good, despite the spec not yet fully known and I suspect the Nikon ZR will also be competitive so Lumix, over to you, - how is that S1H coming along because the time to pop it out would be immediately after the other kids do otherwise you risk all the newly found brand hoppers, hopping in their direction?

a FF DGO sensor could easily be 10–15× more expensive than an S35 DGO sensor, not counting the extra cooling, processor, and CFexpress requirements.

I'm definitely no electronic engineer, but the 10-15x estimate seems high to me.  A sensor that is 2-4x the size and with 2x the photosites of the C70 would presumably cost more than the C70 sensor (oversized S35), but 15x seems awfully extreme.  At its core, it's primarily just a second output channel from each photosite that gets amplified differently and then the two are merged with an extremely simple algorithm.  The extra processing requirements for that are not all that high - and, again, a fairly small camera from 2020 was able to do it at 4K with no problem.

Canon Rumors put these as his spec, I think he changed it form before as he state he did put some bad spec before. 

Canon Cinema EOS C50 Basic Specifications

7K 60P Internal RAW

4K 120P (No Crop)

Open Gate

32.3MP Still Photo Resolution

40FPS Max Burst Rate

Dual CFexpress Type B Card Slots

Single SD Card Slot

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

Dual Base ISO

Sub $4000 USD (Rough Currency Conversion)

If it can do 60fps at 16:9, max burst should have been higher than 40fps. I guess video is 12bit read out.

Other than "open gate" and "extra CF Express slot," that list sounds like a less good R5C.  You can go spend $800 less (new) or more than $1,000 less (used) and get all the same, but with 8Kp60 raw video and 45 megapixel still images.

Oh, and burst photo rate.  R5C matches R5, IIRC, and maxes out at 20?  Doubt that's a big selling point on a cinema line camera, though.

(Broken record: But make that 7K DGO and...)

It doesn't even say full frame anymore?

I love how the rumor said dual cfexpress while leaked photo clearly show cfexpress and SD marking
