These Two Canon EOS Cinema Cameras Might Get Announced In 2023
New week, new rumor. Canon might announce two new EOS Cinema cameras in 2023, the Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II and Canon Cinema EOS C700 Mark II.
According to the source, the Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II might come ahead of NAB 2023, and a new C700 series camera before IBC 2023 in September. These are the rumored specifications:
Canon Cinema EOS C200 Mark II
- Same Super 35 4K DGO sensor as the C70 / C300 Mark III
- RF mount
- 4K up to 120 frames
- Cinema RAW Light, XF-AVC and MP4 recording options
- 2x SD UHS-II V90 media slots
- A modular box design, somewhat similar of the Panasonic BS1H camera
- HDMI Type A and 12G-SDI outputs
- The multi-function hot shoe is included for an external XLR module
Canon Cinema EOS C700 Mark II
- User swappable sensors with two offerings at launch: a Super 35 5K Global Shutter sensor and a Full Frame 8K DGO Rolling Shutter sensor
- Both sensor blocks are equipped with a direct RF mount, which can be topped by an EF or LPL mount without the need to remove the RF mount (the whole mount can be assembled on top of the RF mount and mounted to the camera, like Sony did with the VENICE 2)
- Introduction of two new gamma curves: Canon Log 4, designed for HDR productions; and Wide DR Cine, designed for cinematic colors straight out of camera
- 2x CFExpress Type B cards and 1x SD card media slots
- This will be the most CODEC heavy from Canon: XF-AVC, ProRes and Cinema RAW Light can be recorded internally; BRAW and ProRes RAW externally with the Blackmagic VideoAssist and Atomos Ninja+; Cinema RAW with the Codex CDX-36150; and a new module/recorder developed in partnership with RED Digital Cinema to record REDCODE to a proprietary media
- 4x SDI outputs for different monitoring workflows
- Camera design is somewhat closer to the C300 Mark III/C500 Mark II design, although a little bit bigger to acomodate the extra I/O terminals
- This camera prototype is already out on the field being tested
