Introducing the EOS C700, Canon’s flagship cinema camera. Epitomising technological innovation, this is one of the most advanced cameras the company has ever produced. A powerhouse fit for high-end productions and broadcasters alike, the C700 represents uncompromising quality for the professional market.
There are three variations on this model, including a Canon EF mount version, and two PL mount models, one of which has a Global Shutter option for shooting fast moving objects and quick pans.
The C700 adapts with ease between traditional studio-style shooting and handheld configurations. A full-size cinema camera, it showcases a fresh and innovative design faithful to its well-hewn preceding models. Built-in cheese plates on the top and base of the camera body allow accessories to be attached simply, with the top handle affixable in a multitude of positions to achieve optimum balance.
Canon has produced a camera that’s more than suitably equipped for professional, high-end production houses and broadcasters. There’s no doubt that this is a camera that offers supreme quality, and is an impeccable choice for shoots in all environments.
The C700 features the very latest Canon 4K generation XF-AVC 10-bit and 12-bit codecs. It’s capable of recording uncompressed 4K RAW up to 120 fps, 2K RAW up to 240 fps, and ProRes 4K up to 60 fps. Both EF and PL models can capture breathtaking slow motion 4K video footage internally, with impressive frame rates of up to 59.94P/50P and 2K up to 200p/240p (sensor crop mode). This is also possible in 4K RAW up to 100P/120P with the optional dockable CODEX RAW recorder.
To control your EF lenses in the same way you would regular ENG video lenses, look no further than Canon’s SG-1 Shoulder-Style Grip Unit for the EOS C700. This grip unit features a grip/rocker assembly to mount on the SU-15 Shoulder Support Unit, available separately. This combination frees up the C700, allowing for ENG-style hand-held shooting.
