Canon EOS C100 Super 35mm CMOS Sensor Full HD AVCHD Recording Camera
Canon EOS C100
Versatile, compact storytelling
An affordable video production camera offering a unique combination of professional HD imaging, compact design and lens versatility, the user-friendly C100 is ideally configured for single person use.
The new EOS C100 – a compact, versatile interchangeable-lens professional video camera designed for independent videographers. Based on the core performance of the acclaimed EOS C300, the new model combines impressive hardware specifications with a range of new automatic features – making it ideal for professionals who shoot without a crew, or EOS videographers entering the Cinema EOS System for the first time.
Key Headlines:
1 SD, SDHC and SDXC card formats supported
2 Compatible HDMI cable required
An 8.3MP Super 35mm CMOS sensor, designed and manufactured by Canon specifically for video capture, provides 3ch RGB processing for Full HD recording. It delivers superb high-resolution images with high sensitivity, low noise, reduced rolling shutter artefacts and beautifully shallow depth of field.
Record MPEG-4 AVCHD/H.264 files at 24Mbps (4:2:0) to two SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards – with relay and simultaneous recording options. Outputs include HDMI with lock function, AV and USB.
Expand your creative options through a huge range of interchangeable lenses. The EF mount is compatible with Canon 4K EF Cinema lenses plus over 60 EF lenses including Macro and Fish Eye. 3 manual built-in ND filters increase shooting versatility.
To facilitate one-person operation, automated functions include One-Shot Auto Focus, Push Auto Iris and Auto White Balance. Full manual control is available when required with a powerful Focus Assist function to aid manual focusing and ensure sharp detailed images.
Broad NLE support allows easy integration into existing post-production workflows.
Enhanced sensitivity, low noise images can be captured at up to ISO 20000, allowing use in almost any shooting situation.
Built-in Canon Log Gamma gives neutral image quality with 12-stops of latitude (800% dynamic range) at a base setting of ISO 850. A Wide Dynamic Range option delivers footage with the same wide latitude but does not require grading.
Ultra-compact and lightweight, the EOS C100 is ideal for use in tight spaces. A basic recording set up weighs just 1020g (without lens), while a removable grip, handle and multi-angle control panel ensure maximum manoeuvrability. The robust, splash resistant body features magnesium alloy components for extra rigidity and toughness.
Professional audio recording options include LPCM or Dolby AC3. The top handle includes two XLR inputs and stereo microphone.
The EOS C100 qualifies for free support from Canon Professional Services (CPS) with exclusive access to a range of benefits: CPS support at major events, a priority repair service (subject to availability) and local CPS support in selected European countries.
