Canon EOS C200B Cinema Camera (Body Only, EF-Mount)

overview

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera comes as a standalone camera body, excluding the built-in electronic viewfinder, LCD monitor, handle and handgrip accessories that come with the EOS C200. This allows the user the flexibility to customize the camera with a wide range of accessories to fit their specific needs. The camera's small form factor allows it to be used in tighter spaces, and more easily attached to a gimbal or drone.

The camera can record internal 4K RAW to a CFast™ 2.0 card in our new Cinema RAW Light format without compromising detail, as well as 4K UHD and Full HD in MP4 format to SD cards. The 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, full compatibility with Canon EF-mount lenses, and HDR capability help make the EOS C200B ideal for film, documentary and television production, corporate and event videography, and newsgathering. The camera's multitude of features helps deliver outstanding image quality, performance and versatility.

Canon 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS Sensor

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera integrates an 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor that supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. The camera fully utilizes the image data delivered by this 4K CMOS sensor to also enable Over Sampling HD Processing for 2K (DCI) and Full HD 1080/60p recording.

Each pixel in this CMOS imaging sensor also maintains a wide pixel pitch that maximizes the amount of light that falls on to each photo site, thus enhancing the EOS C200B camera's sensitivity while also minimizing noise and supporting ISO speeds of up to 102,400 for extreme low-light imaging. This sensor also reduces data-readout time, resulting in a reduction in rolling-shutter artifacts.

Fully Compatible with New and Existing Canon EF-Mount Lenses

A major aspect of the creative filmmaking potential of the EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera is its compatibility with the full range of more than 100 Canon EF and EF-S photographic lenses (including specialty tilt-shift and fisheye models) and Canon's 4K CN-E Cinema prime and zoom lenses, including the “ENG-style” Canon CINE-SERVO and COMPACT-SERVO zooms. Improved EF lens communication capabilities of the EOS C200B camera provide the display of CN-E Cinema lens T-values, compatibility with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF, lens metadata acquisition, and chromatic aberration correction.

T-value Displayed When Using EF Lenses

For those users who are accustomed to seeing the T-value displayed when using EF lenses for digital cinema, it is possible to switch the camera to display either the F-value or the T-value. This is important for those that shoot on movie sets and prefer to know how much light is passing through the opening of the lens and actually making it to the sensor. T-values are the traditional measure of light reaching the sensor in video production, while F-stop is the measure of light in still photography. The ability to see the F-stop helps those transitioning from still to video shooting.

Flexibility for Custom Shooting Situations

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera comes as a standalone camera body, excluding the built-in electronic viewfinder, LCD monitor, handle and handgrip accessories that come with the EOS C200. This allows the user the flexibility to customize the camera with a wide range of accessories to fit their specific needs.

The camera's small form factor allows it to be used in tighter spaces and mounted into a variety of gyro-stabilized housings, robotic camera pedestals, on a crane or drone, remotely operated for surveillance activities, hidden inside a racecar or helicopter, or other hard-to-reach locations where the camera is not immediately accessible.

The customizable EOS C200B can be ideal for a variety of applications including film, documentary and television production, corporate and event videography, and newsgathering.

Dual DIGIC DV 6 Image Processors

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera features our newly developed dual DiG!C DV 6 image processors, which powerfully process high-resolution image data.

The two on-board DiG!C DV 6 image processors allow for the recording of 1,800 horizontal TV lines in 4K. The DiG!C 6 is Canon's sixth-generation Image processor that uses proprietary technology, allowing users to achieve high performance and creative freedom when acquiring images.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera features our Dual Pixel CMOS AF (DAF) Technology. DAF is a breakthrough AF technology that uses the CMOS sensor.

Each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF, smooth focusing is accomplished using Canon EF lenses with much higher speed and accuracy than was possible with previous technologies- a major advantage during single-operator shooting.

Continuous AF and Face Detection AF with all Canon EF Lenses

The EOS C200B has one-touch AF (with a push-button) and continuous AF within approximately 80% of the overall image area. Face Detection AF is another autofocus mode that can track a person's face in the frame and maintain focus on them. To further fine tune AF performance, the EOS C200B offers the ability to set the AF tracking speed (up to 10 steps) and sensitivity (up to 7 steps) to match the user’s preference.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Touch Focus

Achieve faster focus with the included Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1), a new accessory with touch screen support. Tapping the area of the frame quickly brings the image into focus. This ability to choose the subject for focusing with the tap of the screen helps to make focusing intuitive.

Internal 4K RAW Recording with New Cinema RAW Light

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera features Canon's newly developed Cinema RAW Light, a 4K RAW recording file format offering a smaller file size compared to our standard RAW files, while maintaining the same high resolution, high color reproducibility, and wide dynamic range data to provide dramatically greater freedom in grading and compositing.

Internal 4K UHD and Full HD Recording in MP4

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera offers 4K UHD and Full HD recording in MP4 format, up to 60fps. The compact size of the MP4 codec allows the EOS C200B to capture images directly to low cost SD cards.

Full HD 120P / 100P Slow Motion Recording

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera supports high-speed recording in Full HD at 120p/100p fps to enable additional creative freedom for slow motion replays and other special effects. It's capable of a maximum 120fps, realizing even greater emotion in visual expression.

HDR Viewing

The EOS C200B Digital Cinema Camera supports HDR recording in the ITU-R BT.2100 standard (PQ). HDR on-set monitoring is possible using HDR compatible reference displays, including all of our Canon 4K UHD Reference Displays. This allows operators to shoot HDR footage while getting a preview of the finished product.
