Canon EOS C50 Cinema Camera

Canon 7034C011AA (70-34C0-11AA, 70/34C0/11AA, 70-34C0/11AA, 70 34C0 11AA) EOS C50 Cinema Camera

The Canon EOS C50 is designed for creators who thrive under pressure—built for professionals working solo or in small crews. From interviews to social content, weddings to indie films, this ultra-lightweight camera earns its spot on every production. As Canon’s smallest professional cinema camera, it opens the door to true cinematic storytelling.

Powered by a 7K Full Frame sensor, the EOS C50 delivers Open Gate RAW recording, 32MP stills, and pro-level connectivity in a sleek, modular design. Positioned between the EOS R5 C and C70, it bridges the gap between Canon’s V Series and Cinema EOS lineup, offering creators advanced video performance without fully stepping into high-end cinema gear. It’s Canon’s fifth RF-mount Cinema EOS model and the second hybrid in the series, blending mirrorless flexibility with cinema-grade features.

Cinematic 7K Full Frame Capture

Capture breathtaking detail with Canon’s 7K Full Frame CMOS sensor, Dual Base ISO (800/6400), and 15+ stops of dynamic range. Shoot 32MP stills at 40fps with ISO up to 64,000, or create oversampled 4K with Canon’s signature color science.

Open Gate Flexibility

Record in 12-bit RAW (6960x4640, 3:2) for ultimate versatility—perfect for widescreen, vertical, or anamorphic formats. Switch seamlessly between Full Frame, Super 35mm, and Super 16mm crop modes.

RF Mount Versatility

Take advantage of Canon’s RF mount with access to prime, zoom, hybrid, and cinema lenses, plus metadata support, fast AF/IS, and full compatibility with PL/EF lenses via adapters.

Precision Autofocus

Experience lightning-fast autofocus with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, enhanced face, eye, and animal tracking, EOS iTR AF X, Focus Guide, and fully customizable AF speed controls.

High Frame Rates

Record Cinema RAW Light up to 7K 60p, plus 4K 120p and 2K 180p. Capture oversampled 4K 10-bit XF-AVC or HEVC in multiple formats, with CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD card slots for smooth workflows and proxy recording.

Professional Connectivity

Includes HDMI, timecode, mic and headphone ports, USB-C, and a detachable handle with dual XLR inputs. Built-in Wi-Fi and USB-C enable IP streaming, UVC/UAC output, remote control, and Multi-Function Shoe support.

Compact, Ergonomic Design

Canon’s most compact Cinema EOS features a 3" articulating touchscreen, detachable top handle, 14 assignable buttons, tally lamp, active cooling, and multiple mounts—ideal for handheld use, gimbals, or drones.

Multi-Camera Ready

Seamlessly integrate with Canon’s XC Protocol accessories and apps for live production, studio control, or multi-cam setups with timecode sync and unified settings management.

Future-Ready for VFX & VR
