“We’re shooting on the set and what you’re looking at on the monitor
is so bright and vivid. And then you turn and look at the actual set,
and you realize how dark it really is; it’s kind of stunning.”

The EOS C100 Digital Video Camera is a compact digital video camera that captures outstanding HD image
quality with two channels of professional-quality audio. The EOS C100 was designed specifically as an aordable,
high-performance digital cine system that supports a broad range of lower-budget film and video productions,
and to introduce new users to the many advantages of Canon’s Cinema EOS Lineup. The EOS C100 utilizes the
same ultra-precision Super 35 imaging system found in both the EOS C500 and C300 cameras, thereby helping
to ensure that the camera system originates equally high image quality, sharpness and sensitivity. The digital
video camera incorporates Canon’s EF lens mount and is fully compatible with the entire line of EF, EF-S and
Cinema series lenses. Independent filmmakers, student filmmakers, event videographers and other video
production professionals will benefit from the top-of-the-line, high-performance features, outstanding image
quality and creative freedom provided by the new Canon EOS C100.
The EOS C100’s industry-standard AVCHD codec records 1920 x 1080 HD video using H.264 compression at
data rates up to 24 Mbps. The camera supports dual memory card slots that leverage lower-cost, easy-to-procure
SDHC and SDXC media. The highly ecient AVCHD codec allows a single 32GB SD card to record almost three
hours of high-quality HD at 24 Mbps, and integrates easily into post-production workows.
The EOS C100’s ergonomic design is streamlined to support one-person shoots. Weighing just 2.2 lbs. in its
basic configuration, the camera utilizes a highly exible, modular design that supports a variety of single-operator
shooting styles. Innovations such as One-Shot AF and Push Auto Iris allow solo operators to spend less time
checking camera settings and more time being creative.
