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)

[ND64]

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

[eatstoomuchjam]

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?

[ntblowz]

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

Who needs embargoes? Preview in Italian (turn on English subtitles):

Recording 2 different ratio (1:1/16:9/9:16 etc) to 2 card... that is something new! 

[j_one]

What sensor do you think this is? New one? Can’t be eos r or r7 right?

Yeah that struck me as a innovative feature and smart way of putting open gate to practical use.

All in all this is a solid release: 7K60 FF, 7K30 open gate, 4K120p uncropped, 5K S35, 2.5K S16. DPAF II. RAW. CLOG2/3. 32MP stills.

Dual Base ISO of 800 & 6400.

$4000 with top XLR handle. I like how the handle has rec button and zoom rocker.

Cons are no IBIS and no mech shutter. Hoping the claims of improved low rolling shutter are significant.

[eatstoomuchjam]

The official announcement happened.  The most recent rumors seem to have been correct.  It's probably not a camera for me, but it looks like a solid option for people who want a compact Canon which can do 3:2.

Along with the announcement, there were firmware updates announced for C80, C70, R5C, and C400.  They seem not very interesting in general, but the C400 will get open gate which will be nice for people who want that. 

[Simon Young]

Not good enough.

[ND64]

Kasey will make a full video about the cripple hammer on 30fps oversampled 4k limit.

CVP in-depth review + comparison tests with R5C, C80, FX3, etc:

IMHO It seems a solid release.

Agreed. And this is a cam catering to all the people that had issues with the R5C. One big question being debated is whether this confirms that the R5C will not get a MKII... officially putting it in the rarefied company of the 1DC as a Canon unicorn cam.

FYI, CVP discusses batt life in their review. Seems like it might actually be less time than the R5C tho 😳. This link goes straight to that section of the review:
