Canon has created the Cinema EOS System –
a definitive HD motion picture system, conceived
as an extension of the cinematographer. The
new EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL cameras,
Canon EF Cinema lenses, our comprehensive
service and support network and educational
resources are all designed to help you tell your story
the way you imagined it.
The powerful EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL cameras
are centered on Canon’s unique Super 35mm CMOS
sensor, revolutionary Canon DV III Image Processor,
and 50Mbps 4:2:2 codec writing out to dual CF cards. Compact
and lightweight, modular in design, and compatible with Canon’s new EF Cinema
lenses, as well as third party accessories, the EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL are reliable in the studio and
rugged on location – no matter how far your assignment or imagination takes you. A family of Canon EF
and PL-mount lenses designed specifically for cinematography applications includes fast cine primes and
wide-tele zooms with the optical performance, controls and usability you need. Designed with SMPTE HD
production standards, these cameras’ MPEG-2 codec conforms to an internationally recognized standard
compatible with major NLE applications, and additional features such as Canon Log Gamma ensure
seamless integration with existing production workflows. And with an entire infrastructure designed to
support and educate, troubleshoot and repair, to listen and to innovate, you will get the most from your
equipment before, during and after production. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL are ready to go to work.
