Thanks to the big sensor, recording performance in the dark of Canon EOS C200 is better than the competitors on the market, it features a built-in EVF, 4″ LCD screen, top handle, Super 35mm CMOS sensor, and Dual Pixel Autofocus.
Here is a quick recap of the main features of the camera:
- Internal 4K recording with Cinema Raw Light or MP4 format up to 50p/60p!
- Continuous 120fps (maximum) High Frame Rate Full sensor at Full HD (no crop!)
- Up to 15-stops dynamic range (Cinema raw Light), 13 stops when not using raw
- Dual Pixel CMOS AF with touch screen LCD
- Up to 10 stops of Internal ND
There’s internal MP4 recording on an SD card, up to 60fps in 4K UHD, at 4:2:0 and 150mbps. Not great, but hey, 4k/60, woohoo. You can record up to 120fps in HD, with full sensor readout. But all HD recording is limited to 35 mbps, using an H264 codec, in 4:2:0 8-bit. That’s frustrating for anyone who shoots for broadcast clients that require 50mbps – no matter what you tell them about the current MP4 flavor being twice as better as old MPEG2 standards. The only problem usually occurred during the editing process. 4K MP4 still cannot fully supported by some video editors like Final Cut Pro can’t ingest RAW MP4 video from Canon EOS C200 directly. The easiest workaround is to convert C200 MP4 to ProRes MOV, which is the most compatible format for Final Cut Pro (FCP X, FCP 7, FCP 6), which will make the editing work much smooth and easier.
