Canon C200 Overview

Canon's EOS C200B Cinema Camera with Accessory Kit features a 4" LCD screen, top handle, Super 35mm 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 Super 35mm 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 and HD MP4 video. 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.

Main Features
Canon Super 35mm CMOS Sensor
Modeled on the Super 35mm 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 want smoother, more natural-looking autofocus.

Dual-Pixel CMOS AF technology features a CMOS sensor that consists of an array of pixels and 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.
Rich Audio Controls
Built directly into the C200B are two XLR audio inputs with +48V phantom power, and a 3.5mm microphone terminal. 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, offer the option of automatic or 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.

  • UHD 4K and Full HD recording onto SD cards is available via the two SD card slots
  • Slow-motion recording, pre-recording, frame recording, and interval recording

Canon C200 Reviews

Just what I wanted

By Tom
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2023-01-04

I had my eye on one of these for quite a while. With the price drop I couldn't resist it. It's going to replace my basic C100 that I bought to try a cine style camera. Love that it does 4K 60p to SD cards, love that it outputs raw on the HDMI port. Not in love with all the bits and pieces it has: Why do you need two power adapters, one for the camera, one for the battery charger? The top handle is a bit clunky to put together and install but once it's there it's OK. I'd like to see it be a little bit lower profile. Lots of places to mount accessories on it that I'll never use. The LCD needs a hood as it's not very bright in daylight. But the eyepiece more than makes up for that if you can shoot that way. Very happy with it, however, and I expect to make it my workhorse camera.

Love it

The Canon c200 has so many options and is easy to use. Having two SD card slots is great. Independent filmmakers like myself can really appreciate the quality of image this camera shoots.

Even in 2021 a great camera

I recently purchased the Canon EOS C200B Cinema Camera and after about an hour I feel like I am a pro at it! The camera comes ready to use out of the box. I have used multiple cameras in my field of work and this by far surpasses anything that I have come across in years. It is lightweight and compatible with a variety of equipment. I mostly work as a one man crew when I film and this camera is absolutely perfect for that.

the most noble and versatile camera

It has the best usage characteristics in 12, 10 and 8 bit color depth. Solid structure and efficient operation in the harshest conditions of temperature and humidity.

excelente calidad-precio 100% funcional

Desde hace un par de aos que no dejo de sorprenderme por la calidad de la C200. Disparar en RAW 12 o 10 es una posibilidad que no es fcil de encontrar en cmaras de este precio, incluso en las recientes versiones de Canon. La C200 tiene todo lo que necesita un realizador independiente, alguien que ha optado por el trabajo en solitario como yo. Esta cmara est pensada para un uso inmediato sin perder la calidad. Solo hay que encenderla y disparar en la calidad que prefieras y con la posibilidad de conectar dos micrfonos tipo shotgun y un Lavalier. Una gran cmara, un cono en la historia de Canon

Love it

Is the external monitor in the C200B with accessories better than the normal C200 monitor?
Asked by: Richard
It is the same Canon LM-V1 LCD Monitor. It is the same monitor with either model.

question

Is there a longer cable that could be purchased to go from body to monitor?
Asked by: Jason C.
Because the cable is very complex due to the C200 monitor being touch screen, the only cable Canon offers is very expensive. If you need an off camera monitor, we suggest getting a conventional monitor and using an HDMI or SDI cable.

question

Can you record 4k mp4 and HD mp4 to different SD cards at the same time?
Asked by: Shem
I'm afraid not. You will not be able to record a 4K MP4 on one SDXC Card and an HD MP4 on the other. However, you can record 4K Cinema RAW Light to the CFast 2.0 card slot and a Proxy 2K File on to SDXC.

question

Will the top handle from the C300 Mkii work on the C200b?
Asked by: Ismail A.
Canon improved the C200 top handle and it is our understanding that the C300 handle is incompatible.
