Canon Unveils the EOS C300, Jumps Into the Hollywood Digital Filmmaking Scene

Canon’s historic announcement is here, and as most people predicted, it’s geared towards filmmaking rather than photography. The company just unveiled its new C300 cinema camera in an effort to break into a Hollywood digital filmmaking scene that’s dominated by the Arri Alexa and the RED EPIC. While it’s not particularly powerful in any specific category, the new camera comes in EOS or PL lens mounts, shoots 1080p video with a 4K sensor, has dual CF card slots, and offers high quality footage in a relatively small form factor.

Wooooow, Canon is really moving forward. Now they are producing tools to break Hollywood filming with this portable high performance film recorder. And it is compatible with current lenses :) Imagine many creative shot that can handled with the advantages of portability.
