Canon will be revealing details of a new cinema camera at its Canon Vision event on Thursday, September 24th, 2020 2PM CEST / 8AM ET / 5AM PT. The virtual show comes shortly after Canon's release of the EOS R5 and R6 full-frame mirrorless cameras. What significant about the date is Sony will be shipping the a7S III.
According to Canon, the live event is "ideal for broadcasters, cinematographers, independent filmmakers, videographers and more" where attendees will "learn more about the camera and explore Canon’s full range of Pro AV products and solutions."
The two day program will include six live sessions with imaging professionals that will discuss everything from industry challenges to post-production workflows. The schedule is as follows:

What to expect from the new Canon EOS Cinema Camera?
Unlike Sony, who teased its new FX6 with only an image and few details, Canon has already held press conferences that detail the new camera. Unfortunately, No Film School cannot talk about it until its release, but it's nice that Canon has slated an event for it. From the photo alone, you can expect internal variable ND filters as well as two XLR inputs for audio.
But what do you think will be part of the new EOS cinema camera? Let us know in the comments below.
