Canon Releases EOS C100 Mark II

Building on the EOS C100, the EOS C100 Mark II offers an upgraded package. A Canon Super 35mm 8.3MP CMOS sensor combines with a DIGIC DV 4 processor, and the camera also features a new extended ISO range of 320 to 102,400.

The EOS C100 Mark II includes Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology as standard. Canon's Face Detection AF technology is also supported and provides further creative control through the automatic recognition and focus tracking of faces.

The camera features two recording formats. Dual Format recording allows operators to simultaneously capture Full HD footage in both MP4 (up to 35Mbps) and AVCHD (up to 28Mbps) variants, using frame rates of up to 60P. Users can chose to record HD and SD footage to separate SD memory cards.

Browser-based camera control via built-in Wi-Fi and support for Canon's multi-functional RC-V100 remote control allows the camera to be positioned in more demanding locations.

The screen has been redesigned and now flips out to the side to provide further monitoring possibilities, including allowing users to frame the shot whilst in front of the camera. A new OLED display delivers higher contrast and the camera also features an improved tiltable Electronic Viewfinder (EVF) and a larger eyecup.
