Canon C200 Overview

By B&H Photo's

Canon's EOS C200B EF Cinema Camera features a Super35 CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel autofocus. The EF lens mount on the EOS C200B offers compatibility not only with Canon's existing broad range of DSLR lenses but also with their line of EF-mount CN-E cinema prime and zoom lenses. The Super35 sensor is paired with Canon's Dual DIGIC DV 6 image processor, allowing it to capture and record up to DCI 4K resolution.


The C200B can also record Canon's Cinema RAW Light internally via its single CFast card slot. The camera also incorporates two SD card slots for recording UHD 4K/HD MP4 video. Please note that the C200B does not come with an EVF, nor can an EVR be added to the camera at a later time. You can output video via the camera's SDI output, and the built-in XLR connectors provide two channels of audio at line, mic, and mic+48V level. A built-in Ethernet connector provides input/output control.

Main Features
Canon Super35 CMOS Sensor
Modeled on the Super35 motion picture film standard, the Canon CMOS sensor has an active image size of 24.4 x 13.5mm. It features 4096 x 2160 resolution to deliver Cine 4K images, as well as supporting Ultra HD (3840 x 2160), and Full HD (1920 x 1080).
Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology
Provides continuous AF function for all autofocus lenses, using Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. A new AF Lock setting also lets you change the image framing while holding the desired focus. This feature is ideal for users who regularly shoot with smaller crews, who shoot moving subjects, or who want smoother, more natural-looking autofocus.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology features a CMOS sensor that consists of an array of pixels that each feature two separate photodiodes. By continuously comparing their outputs during AF mode, phase-difference autofocus helps ensure non-blurred images and smooth focus transitions even when the talent and/or camera are moving. The new feature places a high priority on maintaining sharp focus while providing a natural, smooth autofocus movement with select Canon EF lenses - including newer-generation STM lenses - which offer even smoother and quieter operation.
Dynamic Range, ISO Range
The C200B features a dynamic range of approximately 13 stops, and an ISO range of 160 to 25,600. You can also select an expanded ISO range of 100 to 102,400. It supports Wide DR Gamma, Canon Log, and Canon Log 3.
Dual Canon DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor
The camera features Dual DIGIC DV 6 processors to handle the internal data processing.
No EVF
The EOS C200B does not include an EVF, nor can you add a Canon EVF to the camera body at a later time, although external third-party EVFs are available.
Rich Audio Controls
Built directly into the C200B are two XLR audio inputs with +48V phantom power, and a 3.5mm microphone terminal is also built into the camera. Audio is recorded uncompressed in 16-bit PCM format at 48 kHz for high-fidelity sound. Both XLR inputs as well as the mic terminal have the option for automatic as well as manual gain control.
Canon Cinema RAW Light
This codec allows you to record raw data internally to a CFast 2.0 card via the camera's single CFast card slot. The CFast card slot enables capturing DCI 4K in Canon's Cinema RAW Light format.
MP4 Recording
  • UHD 4K and Full HD recording onto SD cards is available via the two SD card slots.
  • Slow-motion recording, pre-recording, frame recording, interval recording

question

What is the rocord time without splitting files. It seems canon likes to cut this off at 29 minutes?
Asked by: William
The 29-minute limit is often found on SLRs that shoot video; it's a way to elude an asinine European tax that applies only to video cameras... but declares that it's not a video camera if it doesn't record half an hour at a time. This has ruined many a shoot, because the camera (Sony, for example) will show a false time-remaining display instead of warning you that you're counting down from 30 minutes.

question

What's the difference between the C200 and C200B options?
Asked by: Steven
The C200B is body only. The LV-V1 4 touchscreen LCD monitor, the top handle and the rosette-based handgrip that come with the C200, are available options. However, there is no attached EVF.

question

will,my c100 batteries work with this
Asked by: john
Sorry, no. Canon changed the C series on-board battery size with the Canon C300 Mark II and the C200 shares the same. An example is Canon BP-A30 Battery Pack For EOS C300 Mark II B&H # CABPA30.
