• 8.85MP 4K DCI Super 35 CMOS sensor

• 12-bit/10-bit 4K RAW or 4:2:0 8-bit in 4K UHD/2K

• Internal 4K RAW using Cfast or 4K UHD/HD using dual SDXC

• Internal slow motion support up to 120p in full HD

Canon EF Lens Mount. The C200 is compatible with all of Canon’s servo-zooms, EF Cinema, and EF lenses—over 100 lenses, including compact primes, super telephotos, specialty tilt-shifts, macros, and fisheyes.

Super 35mm CMOS Sensor. The Canon C200 EF’s Super 35mm CMOS sensor has a 24.4 × 13.5mm active image size. It gives you 4096 × 2160 Cine 4K images, 3840 × 2160 Ultra HD, and 1920 × 1080 Full HD. Its Dual DIGIC DV 6 processors handle this high-resolution data.

Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus. This upgraded system has phase-detection autofocus with two photodiodes at each pixel, offering greatly improved speed and accuracy. The new AF Lock setting lets you change the image framing while holding the desired focus. These critical focusing capabilities are designed to help reduce out-of-focus video while providing for smooth focus transitions, and to assist users working with small crews.

Ultra-High Resolution Electronic Viewfinder. The EOS C200’s built-in 0.46-inch, 1.23MP color EVF and 100% field of view coverage makes it easy to view footage and accurately judge its quality. You can adjust the EVF’s angle of view. You also get a removable four-inch touchscreen LCD viewfinder, a removable top handle, and a camera-control handgrip.

Robust Audio Options. The C200 includes two XLR audio inputs with +48V phantom power and a 3.5mm mic port. All of these inputs offer automatic and manual gain control. This camera records uncompressed audio in 16-bit PCM format at 48kHz.

CFast 2.0 and SD Slots. The Canon Cinema Raw Light codec lets you internally record Raw and 4K DCI data to a CFast card via the camera’s CFast 2.0 slot. The dual SD slots let you record 4K UHD and Full HD footage directly onto SD cards.

There are a lot of things to love about this camera. In fact, Canon’s gorgeous color science, high-quality internal 4K codec, lightweight design for better handheld operation, and best in class autofocus all combine to bring it pretty close to perfection for a particular kind of shooter, specifically single operators or small crews who need a capable run-and-gun doc camera that doesn’t sacrifice on image quality.

Please note that there are also a few limitations. You’re limited to either 4K RAW, which eats up recording space very quickly, or 8-bit 4:2:0 MP4, which doesn’t meet most broadcast quality standards. A 10-bit 4:2:2 4K codec would’ve been a great fit for this camera, but the world just doesn’t give you what you want sometimes. If you’ve got the budget and time to deal with RAW files, though, the image quality you’ll get out of the C200 can stand up to just about any competitor, regardless of price or size.
