Canon EOS Cinema C700 GS PL Camcorder

Canon's expertise in image processing is encapsulated in the EOS C700 GS PL Cinema Camera, designed for professional-grade cinematic productions. Equipped with an ARRI PL lens mount, this camera offers compatibility with a wide range of vintage and modern cinema lenses. The PL mount's 12-o'clock position houses the Cooke /i lens interface, facilitating real-time transmission of lens data such as aperture, focal length, and focus distance, crucial for VFX workflows.

At the heart of the C700 is a 4.2K global-shutter CMOS image sensor, which exposes every pixel simultaneously, eliminating distortions often associated with rolling shutters. This sensor ensures distortion-free images even with fast-moving subjects or intense camera movements.

The camera supports 4K recording at 60p to CFast 2.0 cards in XF-AVC format, and also offers Apple ProRes formats for streamlined editing workflows. Additionally, raw recording is possible with Canon's Codex Digital Recorder, providing flexibility in post-production.

Despite its advanced capabilities, the C700 maintains a user-friendly interface, with basic functions accessible via six buttons surrounding the screen, and more advanced settings available through intuitive selection dials and buttons.

Versatile I/O options cater to various production requirements, ranging from ENG-style run-and-gun setups to high-budget cinema productions. The modular design allows users to customize the camera's form factor, accommodating shoulder-mounted or grip-mounted configurations. Notably, the C700 introduces native V-mount battery support, enhancing its portability and flexibility.

Key recording features include high frame-rate support, internal ProRes recording, and multi-format recording options. Monitoring features such as HDR support, ACES support, and anamorphic de-squeeze enhance the viewing experience and facilitate creative expression.

The camera's lens control capabilities, including remote control of focus, zoom, and iris functions, ensure precise handling of compatible lenses. Additionally, the camera supports B4 lens compatibility with a separate lens mount adapter, expanding its versatility.

The C700 features dual motorized filter wheels for ND filters, offering flexibility in managing exposure. Its upgradability allows for future expansion, with the option to switch mounts at a Canon service center.

With IP streaming support, the C700 enables real-time streaming of video content, making it suitable for live broadcasts and online productions. Overall, the EOS C700 GS PL Cinema Camera combines cutting-edge technology with user-friendly design, catering to the diverse needs of professional filmmakers.
