Canon R5C
XNDR utilizes a variety of gear, but the standout piece is undoubtedly the lead cinema camera, the Canon R5C. As one of Canon's premier cameras in their cinema line, the R5C is classified as a cinema camera yet functions as a hybrid shooter, delivering breathtaking 8K RAW video footage alongside a 45-megapixel count for stunning still images. This full-frame mirrorless camera is complemented perfectly when paired with an Anamorphic Cinema Lens, ensuring you capture the best quality images whether you're shooting video or photos. Additionally, keep an eye out for the Canon R50V, another impressive option in Canon's lineup.
Canon R50V
The Canon R50V is one of Canon's latest video cameras in its compact lineup. Featuring a mirrorless crop sensor with 24 megapixels and 4K recording capability, this camera performs exceptionally well as a secondary option. Similar to the Canon R5C, the R50V also offers dual modes, making it an excellent choice for hybrid shooters. While it may not be as robust as the R5C, this compact camera truly packs a punch, especially when paired with an anamorphic cinema lens, and can guarantee outstanding image and video quality!
Lenses
For those who know, lenses are the other half to a camera, literally and figuratively. Without a good, quality lens, your camera can't be utilized to its best capabilities. That's why XNDR uses Canon luxury and prime lenses, including the Anamorphic Cinema Lens. Each lens features crystal clear glass, which allows all of the camera's sensors to be fully utilized. Some beginner lenses can limit the camera's resolution due to poor quality or amateur build, but not these. XNDR has tested each lens and confirmed that when paired with the Canon R5C or Canon R50V, the video or image achieves maximum allotted resolution! Not only are these lenses excellent for hybrid shooting, but they are also increasingly popular for professional-grade commercials, filmmaking, and more. With these lenses matched with the right camera for the right scenario, you're in good hands!
Anamorphic Cinema Lens
The last but certainly the favorite lens is the Sirui 35mm Anamorphic Cinema Lens. Have you ever watched a movie or film that had the black bars on the top and bottom? Ever notice the subtle warping and vignetting on the far sides of the screen? This is what does that! This Anamorphic Cinema Lens is built differently from traditional spherical lenses, like those used with the Canon R50V or Canon R5C. It features glass designed to pull more visual information from the sides while cropping the top, creating those cinematic crop bars and a panoramic view. This lens is perfect if you're aiming for the authentic feel of real film or simply want a more cinematic style.
This lens opens a whole new door for filmmaking and commercial projects!
