Five Canon Cinema cameras getting feature firmware at once is unusual — if you're shooting hybrid or dedicated video on any of these bodies, check the release notes before your next job, because Canon doesn't always telegraph which updates actually matter on set.

MID49 Builds Modular Rig System Around Sony FX5
MID49 is one of the first accessory makers out with a full modular rig for the Sony FX5. The key piece is a TWIST Mount EVF system that works around a confirmed Sony limitation: out of the box, the DVF-EL1 viewfinder and the XLR-H2 handle can't run at the same time. MID49's EVF extension cable fixes that, letting operators use the viewfinder alongside the handle's 96 kHz/32-bit float audio simultaneously. Also in the lineup: a rod clamp for the XLR-H2, swing-away V-Mount and Gold Mount power plates, and a quick-release baseplate with both ARCA and ARRI dovetail interfaces.

Canon C80 and C400 Firmware: Cinema Exposure Mode, AE Ramping
Canon's free firmware update for the EOS C80 and C400, landing August 19 2026, adds Cinema Exposure Mode, which Canon says recovers up to two stops of highlight performance when shooting above base ISO. The C400 also picks up Auto Exposure Ramping Compensation for Cine-Servo lenses, useful for live and broadcast situations where exposure shifts need to be smooth. Both cameras also get support for the new CN30x40 Cine-Servo 40-1200mm, along with a cleaner menu layout for log shooting.

Accsoon CineView M7 Gets Camera Control for Sony, Canon, Nikon via Firmware
Accsoon's CineView M7 monitors picked up camera control for Nikon Z series bodies this year, joining previously supported Sony and Canon mirrorless and cinema cameras including the FX6 and EOS C400. Free firmware across 29 iterations also added a vertical UI and an open Android layer that lets users write their own apps for the display. The three 7-inch models in the line sit at different price points depending on whether you need SDI, HDMI, or built-in dual-band wireless.

Lucky C400: New 35mm Colour Film Stock Reviewed
Lucky C400 is a brand-new ISO 400 colour negative film from Chinese manufacturer Lucky, available in 35mm 36-exposure rolls for around USD $13, processed in standard C41. It follows Lucky C200, which launched late last year. Field testing found it handles overexposure well with warm, natural tones, but underexposure produces a noticeable yellow cast.
