  • 8.29 million effective pixels and has a pixel size that is larger than that for conventional professional camcorders
  • Featuring a unique Super 35mm Canon CMOS sensor
  • Enabling greater light-gathering capabilities for enhanced sensitivity and reduced noise.
  • The sensor reads Full HD (1920 x 1080 pixels) video signals for each of the three RGB primary colors, decreasing the incidence of moiré while realizing high resolution with 1,000 horizontal TV lines.
  • Supported by a heightened signal read-out speed
  • The CMOS sensor reduces rolling shutter skews
  • A phenomenon prevalent with CMOS sensors in which fast-moving subjects may appear diagonally distorted
  • In addition to MPEG-2 Full HD (MPEG2 422@HL compliant) compression, the EOS C300/C300 PL employs 4:2:2 color sampling for high-resolution performance that minimizes the appearance of "jaggies" at chroma edges.
  • Additionally, with a maximum recording rate of 50 Mbps, the camcorder supports the recording of high-quality video
  • Revolutionary Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor facilitates high-precision gamma processing and smooth gradation expression
  • Compact, modular and compatible with Canon's existing line-up of EF and new EF Cinema lenses as well as accessories from third parties
  • Designed to please cinematographers for any production large and small, on location or in the studio, from shoestring to Hollywood budgets.
  • The EOS C300 has a Canon EF lens mount and is compatible with all of Canon's new EF Cinema lenses and current EF lenses, including compact primes, super telephotos, specialty tilt-shift, macro and fisheye - over 60 in all.
  • Designed with SMPTE HD production standards
  • Its MPEG-2 codec is an internationally recognized standard compatible with major NLE applications while additional features such as Canon Log ensure seamless integration with existing production workflows, making post-production easy.
  • The camcorder's video and audio recording file format adopts the industry-standard MXF (Material eXchange Format), an open source file format ideally suited for non-linear editing systems.
  • Recording to versatile, readily available CF cards, the EOS C300/C300 PL realizes high cost-performance and, equipped with two CF card slots, makes possible the simultaneous recording of video data to two CF cards.
