- 8.3MP Super 35mm CMOS sensor; Full HD
- High sensitivity, low noise
- Canon Log Gamma
- Compact, modular, lightweight
- Seamless workflow integration
- Interchangeable lens (EF mount)
- 50Mbps MPEG-2 MXF to CF card

Super 35mm-equivalent 16:9 large CMOS sensor
Modeled on the Super 35mm picture film standard, Canon's CMOS sensor has an active image size of 24.6 x 13.8mm. The image sensor utilizes an innovative readout technique that delivers full bandwidth individual RGB video components without the need for any debayering algorithms.
Modular design for mobility and expandability
Taking into account of various shooting scenarios, the EOS C300 can accommodate situations where every last inch of maneuverability counts. With day-long shooting comfort and usability in mind, different components can be added or removed as needed. It's also compatible with industry standard third-party accessories, so it can be easily rigged for studio, Steadicam, jib or just about any other configuration imaginable.
Highly compatible with movie production workflow
Seamless integration with NLEs is just the beginning of effective post-processing. Clean image quality; low S / N ratio; Canon Log Gamma for expanded dynamic range and file formats that hold up when multiple effects and colour corrections are applied. Robust enough for the big screen, but convenient enough for on-set review and tweaking.
