Box shaped cinema cameras are not a new idea. We’ve seen a number of them over the years from companies like Panasonic with the BGH1 and BS1H, as well as the Blackmagic Micro Cinema Camera. It’s also a pretty major design feature of just about every camera from RED, too. We’ve also seen boxy cameras from Canon in the form of the ME200S-SH, but that’s designed for broadcast, it’s not a cinema camera, and it’s not RF mount.
The idea of a boxy Canon cinema camera has been around since at least 2019, but nothing ever seems to have come from it. Now, though, a new patent appears to show some potential development on a boxy Canon EOS Cinema camera. In fact, compared to the 2019 patent, it looks like it’s been developed a lot. There’s no news on when (or if) we’ll hear an actual release, but it looks very promising.
