Aimed at directors and filmmakers, these cameras are the next generation step in modern film making. There’s one for every use case — with some being as light as drone compatible. We were able to attend the launch of these new cinematic cameras at Shooting Gallery Studios over the weekend.

“Today’s filmmakers need tools that push beyond conventional limitations, adapting to their creative vision rather than constraining it,” said Jian Liu, Canon Philippines Director for Consumer Information and Imaging. “Our Cinema EOS lineup is a significant upgrade from our previous cameras in both performance and versatility. We’ve engineered these cameras to deliver exceptional image quality and versatility, setting a standard for what filmmakers can expect from their equipment.”
The EOS R5 C is a hybrid solution that combines CINEMA EOS and EOS R capabilities, offering both 45-megapixel still photography and 8K/60p RAW video recording in a single compact body.
The EOS C80 is an ultra-portable full-frame camera with RF mount, weighing just 1300g and designed for mobile filmmaking on gimbals and drones.
For more demanding production environments, the EOS C400 comes equipped with a 6K full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor and expanded SDI and Ethernet terminals for live production workflows.
Filmmakers discussed the evolving demands of work where shooting formats can change the industry — in today’s TikTok era for instance, many commercials are shot using vertical video format, while some need aerial drone footage since these are becoming quite common.
The event also featured hands-on testing by a diverse group of industry professionals. Husband and wife photography and videography duo Jayson and Joanne Arquiza explored the EOS R5 C’s hybrid capabilities for commercial and advertising setups, while producers and directors Paolo Ruiz, Ian Celis, and Wesley Villarica put the EOS C80’s mobility to the test. Filmmaker Zig Dulay joined Neil Daza for a filmmaking and cinematography panel showcasing the features of the EOS C400.
