Canon has announced the latest model in its Cinema
range of video cameras, the EOS C200. The third generation Cinema EOS camera
has a new 8.85 megapixel CMOS sensor along with a new Dual DIGIC DV6 image
processor. It can record in the new Canon Cinema RAW Light at DCI 4K resolution
in 60p/50p (10-bit) or 24p/25p/30p (12-bit). The camera is capable of recording
both these formats internally to a CFast card. You can also record in MP4 up to
60p in 8-bit. The C200 also includes Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF for faster
focusing with face detection.
Other features include ISO 100-102400 sensitivity,
in-camera ND filters, dual SD and single CFast card slots with simultaneous
recording, oversampling HD processing, wide DR gamma, and ACESproxy support.
The C200 has support for Canon CINE-SERVO and EF Cinema lenses.
The C200 will be available in two variants, a
standard variant with LM-V1 LCD Monitor, LA-V1 LCD Attachment, GR-V1 Camera
Grip, and HDU-2 Handle Unit and C200B that comes with just the camera body
without any of the accessories. The accessories will be sold separately.
The EOS C200 is priced at $7499 and the C200B at US$ 5999. The COMPACT-SERVO 70-200mm Zoom Lens announced alongside will be
available separately for US$ 5800. The camera and the accessories will be
available in September.
