NEW YORK, NY—(Marketwired – November 18, 2016) – Deals like this do not come around often. For a limited time, B&H Photo is offering the Canon EOS C500 4K Cinema Camera for $3,000 off retail value. With a full 4K RAW output, powerful CMOS sensor, and ergonomic design, the C500 is a top–flight option for cinematographers shooting in 4K.
The Canon EOS C500 integrates with time–tested feature film production workflows. As 4K RAW data is being recorded externally, you can record proxy files at 50 Mb/s to the camera's internal CF card so rough–cut or dailies editing can begin immediately after a scene is complete. For the widest latitude for color correction in post–production, the camera offers Canon's Log gamma mode, which results in excellent tonal reproduction in the highlight and lowlight regions of an image, and a greatly expanded dynamic range.
Modeled on the Super 35mm 3–perf motion picture film standard, the Canon CMOS sensor has an effective resolution of 4096 x 2160. The image sensor employs an innovative readout technique that delivers full–bandwidth individual RGB video components without the need for any de–Bayering algorithms
Using a single 3G–SDI output, the C500 is able to output a full 4K RAW (4096 x 2160–pixel) data stream in 10–bit color space, with full Bayer encoding and frame rates up to 60 fps. Using both of the camera's 3G–SDI outputs, the frame rate can jump as high as 120 fps, but with the horizontal resolution reduced by half and then interpolated back in
