Canon USA has announced new Cinema EOS kits that pair the EOS C50 and EOS C80 with RF zoom lenses, along with a ready-to-shoot EOS C50 Videographer Kit that bundles audio and filtration for solo filmmakers.

The kits arrive as Canon marks 15 years of its Cinema EOS system, and they’re squarely aimed at solo creators, documentary makers, small crews and those moving into video from stills or journalism. Rather than buying a body and then piecing together lenses and accessories, the idea is that you can buy one box and start shooting.

The lens kits

There are three lens kits. The compact EOS C50, with its 7K full-frame sensor, is offered with either the RF 20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ power zoom or the RF 24-105mm F4 L IS USM. The 6K full-frame EOS C80 is paired with the RF 20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ.

The RF 20-50mm PZ is the more interesting pairing for video, as its power zoom allows smooth, controllable zooms that are hard to achieve by hand.

EOS C50 Videographer Kit

The Videographer Kit combines the EOS C50 and RF 20-50mm F4 L IS USM PZ with an Azden SGM-250LX-C shotgun microphone, Azden MH-787-C monitoring headphones, a Hoya Variable Density II 67mm ND filter and a two-year CarePAK PRO plan. That covers the three things new video shooters most often overlook: decent audio, the ability to monitor it, and ND to keep shutter speeds under control in bright light.

We’ve seen many photographers move into video, and the most common stumbling block isn’t the camera – it’s sound. A bundle that puts a proper shotgun mic and headphones in the box from day one is a smart move.
