EOS C300
LEAVE NO STORY UNTOLD – GO WHEREVER THE STORY TAKES YOU As Canon’s first entry into the digital cinema market, the EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera was made to not only meet but also set new standards. Starting with the incredible image quality offered by Canon’s newly designed Super 35mm imaging system, the EOS C300 comes in two lens mount options, EF (C300) or PL (C300 PL), offering an extensive palette of optics to the user.
CANON CINEMA & EF LENSES – WHAT IT TAKES TO CHANGE PERSPECTIVE Canon’s expanding lineup of dedicated Super 35mm Cinema Lenses is designed exclusively for high-end cinematography. All of the lenses conform to Canon’s perpetual high standards in accuracy, clarity and optical brilliance to deliver outstanding performance.
OUTSTANDING IMAGE QUALITY — EXCEED EXPECTATIONS The heart of the Canon EOS C300 is Canon’s Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor which has been designed from the ground up to meet and exceed the needs of the cinema and broadcast industries. The large sensor provides the ability to capture cinematic shallow depth-of-field imagery and adds excellent signal-to-noise ratio and low-light sensitivity that is highly desired in the world of cinema.
The incredible 12-stop dynamic range of the Canon Super 35mm CMOS image sensor in the EOS C300 cannot be contained within typical transfer functions such as Rec 709. To make sure users can make use of the full dynamic range, Canon has developed a Canon Log Gamma Curve that is specifically tailored to the characteristics of the image sensor. This allows the camera to originate and digitally record the maximum exposure latitude of 12 stops.
VERSATILE YET FAMILIAR ON SET — DESIGNED FOR TODAY’S CINEMATOGRAPHER There are very few cinema cameras quite like the EOS C300. The cinematographer has evolved, and the camera has finally caught up. Radical in some ways and traditional in others, the EOS C300 manages to merge the best of both cinema and video legacies to cater to the needs of just about anyone. As a result, the EOS C300 has found a place on a variety of sets, large and small, around the world.
DURABLE & DEPENDABLE — GET THE SHOT NO MATTER WHAT Throughout the history of cinema, motion picture film cameras evolved to become mechanically robust and reliable. For the past several years, cinematographers could always count on their film cameras to work through varying weather conditions as hundreds of thousands of feet of film would pass through them on each project without a single hiccup.
FINISH WHAT YOU STARTED — EASE INTO POST-PRODUCTION The incredibly successful worldwide adoption of Canon’s EOS C300 is also attributed to how well it integrates with the post-production workflows of major post-houses in television and film. More often than not, new camera announcements come with new headaches for post-production – which is exactly why Canon made sure that the EOS C300 was different.
