EOS C300 Mark II

At the heart of this camera is the advanced Canon Super 35mm CMOS Sensor. It supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. The sensor is designed to increase the camera’s sensitivity, decrease noise, enhance the dynamic range and support ISO speeds of up to 102,400 for extreme low-light imaging. It also reduces data-readout time to about half of what it was in the original EOS C300 camera, resulting in a significant reduction in rolling-shutter artifacts.

The dual DiG!C DV 5 image processors work in concert with the advanced Super 35 CMOS sensor and XF-AVC codec. The result? A variety of image quality and feature improvements, including 15 stops of dynamic range, Canon Log 2 recording, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, simultaneous 4K and HD proxy recording, and 2K/Full HD frame rates of up to 120 fps.

CFast (CompactFast) 2.0 cards are the next-generation mass-storage media employed by the EOS C300 Mark II for in-camera 4K video recording. Featuring two CFast card slots, the EOS C300 Mark II also includes an SD card slot enabling simultaneous HD and Proxy recording.

The new Canon Log Gamma 2 is designed for the camera’s 10-bit recording capabilities. The files produced using Log format are ideal for colour correction/grading in post-production, providing you with a high level of creative freedom while minimizing degradation of image quality. When using Canon Log Gamma 2, you can achieve a dynamic range up to 1600%.

Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus Technology provides smooth focusing using Canon EF lenses with much higher speed and accuracy than ever before. The Dual Pixel Focus guide makes manual focus speedier and more accurate. Working with Canon Face Detection technology and Tracking Priority AF, Dual Pixel CMOS AF automatically recognizes a face, focuses on it and follows it everywhere it moves.

The new Canon XF-AVC codec allows high quality compressed 4K image data to be easily recorded internally onto CFast (2.0) cards – no external recorders required. As a result, it lightens the load on the equipment you need during shooting and also facilitates colour grading and other high-precision editing processes. If you require full uncompressed RAW recording, the camera can output its signal through dual 3G-SDI outputs to an external recorder.

A major aspect of this camera’s filmmaking potential is how it works with the full range of more than 100 Canon EF and EF-S photographic lenses and Canon’s 4K CN-E Cinema prime and zoom lenses. By enhancing the EF lens communication capabilities, the EOS C300 Mark II provides CN-E Cinema lens T-values, lens metadata, chromatic aberration correction – plus, it’s compatible with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF.

Almost all shooting operations and settings can be controlled from a Wi-Fi connected laptop, tablet or smart phone. That includes a variety of focusing functions, giving you accurate control when direct access to the camera isn’t available.

The EOS C300 Mark II dials up the innovative and efficient ergonomic design of the original model. You asked, we answered – now the modular design allows different components to be added or removed as needed. This meets the demands of various shooting environments and maximizes the comfort of the camera operator. In addition, the camera comes with a removable hand grip, improved low-angle camera handle extension with additional attachment points, and removable LCD monitor and control panel with XLR audio inputs.
