Canon is preparing to unveil a new addition to its Cinema EOS line on September 9, 2025, at 2 PM BST (11 PM AEST). A teaser posted on Canon’s Instagram hints at the reveal of this exciting new camera, rumored to be the Canon EOS C50. The teaser, captioned “Open your world to what’s next,” features a side-on silhouette of the upcoming camera.
The choice of words suggests that the new camera may support Open Gate video recording, a feature highly valued by filmmakers and content creators for its ability to utilize the entire sensor area, allowing for flexible cropping into any aspect ratio. This feature would be particularly notable as Canon has not offered Open Gate recording in its previous camera models.
