Canon EOS C100 Cinema EOS Camera (Body Only)

The Canon EOS C100 digital video camera is the Cinema EOS family, bringing together the renowned technology of Canon CMOS sensors, DIGIC DV III Image Processor, and EF lens compatibility in a smaller, lighter body. Modular and compatible with a host of Canon and third-party accessories, the EOS C100 brings true cinema quality to independent event videographers and video production organizations. The EOS C100 sports the super 35 mm Canon CMOS sensor and Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor of the C300 and records at using an AVCHD codec for easy integration in existing production workflows. Operability and customization make the EOS C100 an ideal camera for one-person operation while providing expanded professional capabilities such as HDMI output with embedded time code, support for external recorders, remote operation, and complete manual control over both video and audio recording.

Canon super 35 mm CMOS sensor

• The EOS C100 is equipped with the advanced 16:9 super 35 mm Canon CMOS sensor. The large sensor format opens up cinematic vistas and permits a shallow depth-of-field for arresting images. The 8.3-megapixel sensor and its fine pixel pitch permit greater sensitivity in low light while minimizing noise. The EOS C100 captures red, green, and blue channels independently for Full HD 1920 x 1080 video. The resulting picture features the color and image quality of a three-chip camera with a single sensor. The optimized pixel count allows the camera to avoid additive processing as a result of skipping lines during capture; sensor sensitivity is maintained and aliasing or other degradation of the image is prevented.

Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor

• Designed and built by Canon for the highest quality HD RGB processing, the DIGIC DV III Image Processor uses proprietary circuits and architecture to deliver exceptional image quality at the highest speeds, with low power consumption and minimal heat output. It processes the RGB image data - originating from the single CMOS sensor of the camera - into three channels to maintain the rich resolution and clean color fidelity formerly possible only in three-chip sensor designs.

Exceptional low light sensitivity and wide dynamic range

• The EOS C100 incorporates the first Canon CMOS sensor designed specifically for high frame rate motion pictures, offering not only high resolution and shallow depth-of-field but also high sensitivity with low noise. Working together, Canon's super 35 mm sensor and DIGIC DV III Image Processor achieve a remarkably high signal-to-noise ratio that enables recordings with great detail and dynamic range even in minimal light. Users will appreciate the camera's 12 stops of dynamic range at all ISO speed settings from 320 to 20000.

Canon Log Gamma and wide Dr Gamma

• Canon Log Gamma preserves shadow and highlight detail for maximum editing and grading in post-production without degrading image quality; contrast and sharpness are subdued with characteristics similar to negative film. Canon Log Gamma emphasizes rich gradients from mid-range to highlights and realizes 12-stops of Dynamic Range (DR). At ISO850, Canon Log Gamma enables 5.3 stops of latitude above optimal exposure, broadening the available dynamic range in color grading.

Multiple recording modes and frame rates

• The EOS C100 supports shooting AVCHD bit rates up to 24 Mbps (LPCM) at a maximum resolution of Full HD, 1920 x 1080. The EOS C100 supports relay recording of long takes between dual SD cards or can write video to both cards for redundancy in the event of SD card failure. Pre REC mode buffers approximately 3 seconds before the tally light activates, instilling confidence that you have captured your take as you planned it.

Full manual control and focusing aids

• The EOS C100 offers complete manual control of each aspect of the recording process. Create and recall custom picture settings, camera functions, and display options. Built-in ND filters expand control over exposure, depth-of-field, and motion capture. Manual control of video and audio capture gives you the power to fully control what you capture.
