Canon C50 at BHphoto, Amazon, Adorama, Fotokoch, Fotoerhardt, Calumet, WexUK, Clifton.
Introduction at Explora.

Canon has just announce the C50 compact Full Frame Cine camera. This is the camera that is going for the Sony FX3 kill. It’s $200 cheaper than the Sony but has some features the Sony has not:

• 34 vs 12MP
• 7k recording
• Internal 12Bit RAW recording
• Fully articulating screen
• 1/16000
• 16 stops dynamic range
• Open Gate
• many more customizable buttons including a power zoom button

The Sony still has the following advantages:

• Built-in IBIS
• Mechanical Shutter
• Built-in mic
• not as thick as the Canon

A full side by side spec comparison can be found on that BHphoto page.
