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. While the PL-mount allows the use of widely adopted

industry-standard cinema lenses, Canon's EF lens mount is fully compatible with Canon's entire lineup of EF,

EF-S and Cinema Lenses, offering unique imaging perspectives that weren't common in cinema optics in the

past. The camera's 50 Mbps 4:2:2 XF Codec not only holds up to the most rigorous color correction, but it

conforms to worldwide broadcast standards. Using Compact Flash cards for media allows for a cross between

easy accessibility and robust reliability. Dual CF slots allow the user to choose between dual-slot recording for

security or Relay Recording for continuous roll time. Either way, the efficient codec allows for long record times

so that you can keep shooting virtually without limitation.

Much like the technical advances that freed French filmmakers in the 1970s to take the camera out of the

studio and into the streets of Paris, the EOS C300 is groundbreaking for creative storytelling. With its superb

low-light performance and filmic grain structure, scenes that were unable to be captured are now on the table.

The camera's thoughtful and unique ergonomics allow the EOS C300 to be small enough to tuck into places that

other cameras can't, making it a solution to get shots not previously possible. The EOS C300 is modular and

suitable to be stripped down for one-man band operations or built up with accessories for many people working

in unison. Finally, the inclusion of Canon Log Gamma elevates the EOS C300 to another level, allowing incredible

dynamic range to be recorded without sacrificing its comfortable post-production workflow.

The EOS C300 has found application and deep affection among television crews, documentary filmmakers and

narrative filmmakers for being sensible and groundbreaking at the same time. Within a relatively short timeframe,

the EOS C300 has established itself as one of the most versatile cameras in the world by offering a combination

of features found in very few cameras. It is the camera that can capture almost anything and everything.

"Finally a camera company has done the thing I've been

asking for...praying for, which is they have made a

camera small enough and durable enough and easy to

use enough that you can shoot documentaries with it and

at the same time has a picture which will convince an

audience it was shot with a camera many times the price."
