Canon’s new FX3 competitor…the R50C: 7K internal raw & open gate recording.

Even though I doubt such a small package can fit something like this, just imagine if this thing turns out to have internal NDs. The RF mount can certainly handle it, as shown on the C70, C80, and C400, which all have internal NDs on the same mount. I recall seeing a patent filing suggesting they we

Fellow cinematographers: can you guess what I forget so often I had to make a sticker for my camera?

Newer Sonys have separate settings so you can swap between video and photo settings on the fly, it's been such a big quality of life improvement. When people were saying that the Canon R5C had that I was like meh, but now after using it, I can't go back to not having it when shooting hybrid.

Is underwater photography having a moment right now?

Underwater photography is amazing. I have been using a Canon R5C underwater with big animals (sharks, whales, etc) for a few years now and it is beautiful and truly life altering!

At what point do/did you buy a cinema line camera?

I’m in the canon ecosystem, and I jumped to a cinema hybrid (R5C) once overheating issues on my R6 started to have a significant impact on my workflows. Tried the gimmicky external cooling units.

Looking to buy my first cinema camera

R5C has the most professional tools that translate to nailing exposure and working with future cinema cameras i.e. False Color and proper codec options like XFAVC and Canon Raw Light - it also supports both SD and CFExpress, which the FX-3 and Blackmagic do not.

Upgrading my creative agency gear this year and looking for advice

I run 2 C70’s, an R5C, an R6II, an EOS R, and a canon AE-1 for cool film stills on productions. I agree in not getting the C80, I’d rather jump to the C400. I use a myriad of Amaran and aperture lighting. Primarily the 1200D as a key, 600D as fill/hair, nanlight pack tubes as extra accent and fills.

Canon 1DX II video setup — still relevant in 2025 for €4200?

If you want Canon, I'd look at used cinema series bodies like the c200/c300mkii/r5c/c70). All should be cheaper than that bundle, but need lenses still. I like the cinema OS Canon has for video much more than their stills bodies with much better exposure tools like false color, waveform and most of
