Canon has unveiled the EOS C300 Mark II Cinema EOS camera, which is an evolutionary 2nd generation Cinema EOS 4K camera system with a wide range of new and improved features including 4K/2K/Full HD internal and external recording . Canon also claims improvements in dynamic range, operability and ruggedness.
The slight resolution boost of the C300 II over its predecessor means it can shoot DCI 4K (4096 x 2160) and the more powerful processing can be recorded as 2x over-sampled 12-bit 4:4:4 DCI 2K and Full HD video.Thus, the EOS C300 Mark II delivers sharp images across the entire color spectrum with minimized color fringing that is appropriate even for extensive editing in post production. Though it is not much as impressive as Sony FS7’s 180fps, but it is a huge improvement from C300’s original 60fps in 720p.
