Canon launches C300 cinema camera, prepares to take on Red Scarlet and Arri Alexa (Engadget)
Well, we have to hand it to Canon — this was one tight-lipped product launch.
The imaging company just unveiled its C300 cinema camera at Hollywood’s
Paramount Studios, in front of a crowd of hundreds of journalists and film
industry elite, including Martin Scorsese. Canon is no stranger to the
professional photography community, but it has yet to make a name for itself
in Hollywood, where cameras such as the Arri Alexa and RED EPIC dominate the
digital filmmaking world. The C300 may not appear to be overwhelmingly
powerful on paper — stock features include an EF _or_ PL mount (not both),
1080p capture, a pair of CF card slots, timecode and HD-SDI output — but
judging by the sample films we saw today, its incredibly powerful sensor and
versatile form factor are likely to play a more significant role in making
this camera a success.
