Canon is introducing the EOS C300 Mark III, a new product of the video production Cinema EOS System with a newly developed Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor that supports 4K/120fps high frame rate recording.
The new model is the successor to the EOS C300 Mark II (released in September 2015), which has been well received in various shooting fields such as video production and broadcast content production. The C300 Mark III utilises a modular design like the EOS C500 Mark II (released in December 2019).
With the newly developed 4K Super 35mm CMOS Dual Gain Output sensor, the C300 Mark III is able to shoot 4K/60fps footage with extremely high dynamic range and low noise in DGO Mode. The modular design allows users to customise the camera according to their shooting environment.
With the adoption of Cinema Raw Light1 and XF-AVC video recording formats in the Canon C300 Mark III, users have the freedom to choose the format most suited for their productions. Cinema Raw Light places emphasis on the best possible image quality with manageable data rates, while XF-AVC (Intra Frame) is ideal for broadcast content and other quick turnaround projects which require faster workflows while maintaining high image quality. Both Cinema Raw Light and XF-AVC can be recorded to the onboard CFexpress Type B Cards.
Canon also launches the introduction of the CN10x25 IAS S/E1 (EF mount) and the CN10x25 IAS S/P1 (PL mount) CINE-SERVO lenses2 as new EF cinema lenses to increase more options for the users. The new models are CINE-SERVO lenses that achieve 8K optical performance, high-magnification 10x zoom and have a 1.5x extender built into the lens body. In addition to a lightweight design that can be carried on the shoulder, a removable drive unit with the same operability as a broadcast lens is equipped as standard, in response to a wide range of needs from broadcast content production to video production.
The Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark III and the Canon EF cinema lenses CN10x25 IAS S/E1 CINE-SERVO lenses go on sale next month at Canon Marketing (Thailand) authorised dealers.
