Canon C300 Mark III

The Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark III is Canon’s new generation Super 35mm cinema camera. The camera is equipped with a new Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor and, like the full-frame digital cinema camera EOS C500 Mark II has a modular design and interchangeable lens mount, which allows users to easily customize the camera according to consumer needs.

The 4K Super 35mm DGO sensor was recently developed. This visualization system allows you to create content with a high dynamic range, reading each pixel using two separate amplification factors. One gain determines the priority of saturation in bright areas, and the other suppresses noise in the shadow. The result is an image with 16+ stops of the dynamic range, clear saturated shadows and bright highlights with a resolution of up to 4K 60k/s. And in 2K recording mode, the EOS C300 Mark III delivers recording speeds of up to 180k/s. The ISO sensitivity range is from 100 to 102,400.

Canon C300 Mark III is equipped with the latest Canon DIGIC DV 7 video processor. The camera provides smoother and more efficient 4K and HDR recording and can handle high-speed video recording, including 4K at 120k/s.

It uses the Cinema RAW Light codec, a useful tool that helps reduce the file size from about one third to one-fifth of a similar Cinema RAW file without losing quality. In addition to being able to record 4K and 2K RAW data without using an external recorder, the camera also supports XF-AVC (with the choice of Intra or LongGOP), offering flexible recording duration options.

The Canon EOS C300 Mark III comes with 13 accessories, such as a 4.3-inch LCD monitor and GR-V1 pen. In addition, users can choose from a wide range of optional accessories that allow them to customize the EOS C300 Mark III to suit their preferences.

Optional accessories include the EVF-V70 electronic viewfinder, SU-15 shoulder support unit, and EU-V1 and EU-V2 expansion units. The EU-V1 expansion unit allows you to generate, synchronize, remotely use and connect to an Ethernet network, while the EU-V2 expansion unit has features such as connecting a battery with a V-mount, two analog XLR audio ports and 241V DC output. In addition, mount kits (sold separately) allow users to replace an EF mount with an EF-Cinema mount or PL.
