Canon launches the new EOS C100 Mark II, its new professional camcorder with a big sensor

The new generation of EOS Cinema cameras combines a 3 -megapixel Super 35 mm mmos sensor with a DV 4 processor and a wide range of sensibilities ranging from 320 to 102,400 ISO.

Canon This Wednesday announced the expansion of its EOS Cine system with the launch of the EOS C100 Mark II, its new professional camcorder with a large sensor. Heiress of the EOS C100, the new EOS C100 Mark II promises to offer a better image quality, greater creative flexibility, together with a simpler management and the ability to share the images wirelessly.

The EOS C100 Mark II, which incorporates technologies included in the flagship model of the range, EOS C500, incorporates a powerful image engine, capable of offering high level performance. In the Canon EOS C100 Mark II a 3 -megapixel Super 35 mm Cmos sensor with a DV 4 DV 4 processor is combined to provide rich colors and a wide dynamic range, common in the EOS cinema cameras, while a wide range of sensibilities, from 320 to 102,400 ISO, guarantees extraordinary performance, even in conditions of very low lighting. The new camera also has a new image processing system that further improves its performance, reducing the muaré and the overlap, which results in more clear and clear images.

The EOS C100 Mark II incorporates the Dual Pixel Cmos AF pioneer technology, which allows any user to focus easily and change without difficulty between multiple subjects in a single shot. It also has the technology of Canon's face detection that allows greater creative control thanks to automatic recognition and monitoring of the faces approach.

More creative opportunities

The EOS C100 Mark II has two recording formats to adapt to the needs of the different types of production. Dual format recording allows operators simultaneously capturing Full HD images both in MP4 format (up to 35 Mbps) and AVCHD (up to 28 Mbps), with recording speeds of up to 60p. Users can also choose to record in a high definition and normal definition on separate SD memory cards to enjoy maximum flexibility in the workflow and be able to easily share recordings. This range of options further expands the series of creative opportunities offered by EOS C100 Mark II and makes slow or fast camera recording possible.

The integrated Wi-Fi connection, which was an EOS Cine series scoop, makes the possibility of sharing the images recorded with the camera now easier than ever, thanks to the file transfer capacity using FTP. In those situations in which a rapid transmission is necessary, such as the news and the retransmission of events, the dual recording format allows operators to quickly share low resolution files directly from the camera, with the security offered by the conserve a copy in HD.

Wi-Fi Incorporado

Thanks to its compact and robust design, the EOS C100 Mark II is ideal to record in a wide range of productions, especially those in which only one camera operator records. The camera control based on a browser through the Wi-Fi incorporated and compatible with the RC-V100 Canon multifunctional remote control, allows the camera to be placed in places where before it had not even been thought, which allows the filming equipment to maintain creative control, even in the most uncomfortable situations and with greater obstacles.

The EOS C100 Mark II screen has been redesigned and can now be opened laterally, which increases the monitoring possibilities, allowing users to frame the scene even in front of the camera. The new OLED screen shows images with greater contrast, more intense colors and faster response times, even in light conditions. The camera also has an electronic viewer (EVF) improved tilting and a larger ocular, which is reflected in greater flexibility and precision during recording. In addition, a microphone is incorporated into the camera handle with professional audio benefits, in addition to a new microphone integrated in the camera body, which allows the continuity sound recording in the smallest possible camera configuration.

EF OBJECTIVES

Finally, to review that as part of the EOS system, the EOS C100 Mark II is fully compatible with the range of interchangeable EF objectives and the EF objectives for 4K cinema, for which it is optimized, which gives it the power and versatility necessary to deal with virtually any creative challenge.
