The Cinema EOS line launched in late 2011, with a multi-day gala event held at Paramount Studios. Director Martin Scorsese spoke and four films (directed by Sam Nicholson, ASC; Vincent LaForet, Richard Crudo, ASC and Felix Alcala ASC/Larry Carroll) shot with the new Canon C300MkI as well as accompanying Behind the Scenes films were presented.<ref>https://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/canon-goes-hollywood-cinema-eos-system-48794</ref> Products introduced included the [[Canon C300|C300]] and new [[CN-E lenses]] (with both Canon EF and Arri PL mounts).

In early 2012, Canon began to expand the Cinema EOS line with the C500, which added 4K/QHD recording and [[Raw image format|RAW]] capture to the existing features of the C300. The new C500 would be the first camera to offer uncompressed raw motion video recording.<ref>{{citation | url = https://www.engadget.com/2012/04/12/canon-c500-eos-1d-c-4k/ |title = Canon c500 eos 1d c 4k }}</ref>

Canon also announced a variant of the [[Canon EOS-1D X]], called the [[Canon EOS-1D C]], which featured 4K (but not raw) recording on the same sensor. The new split in the Canon EOS 1D series follows its recent reunification of the high resolution line (1D S) and high speed line (1D) in 2011.<ref>{{citation | url = https://www.engadget.com/2011/10/18/canon-announces-eos-1d-x-full-frame-18mp-sensor-14-fps-204-80/ |title = canon announces eos 1d x full frame 18mp sensor 14 fps 204 80}}</ref>

Additional announcements included an upcoming Canon camera that would feature [[4K resolution|4K]] motion video capabilities in a DSLR body. The demonstration of a prototype device from Canon was a rarity and was seen as a sign of their intent to enter the new still and motion camera market.<ref>{{citation | url = https://www.engadget.com/2011/11/03/canon-has-a-new-eos-movies-dslr-on-the-way-too/ |title =canon has a new eos movies dslr on the way too }}</ref>

In 2019 Canon released the Canon EOS C500 Mark II, a revision of the previous C500 model. This upgraded version included a Full Frame 5.9K sensor (the same sensor as the larger C700 FF camera), and allowed raw recording onto [[CFexpress]] type B cards. The camera featured a higher dynamic range with a claimed 15+ stops. The camera also features a built in [[Neutral-density filter|ND filter system]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite news |title=Canon announces C500 Mark II camera with 5.9K Cinema RAW Light recording |work=DPReview |url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/7855612854/canon-announces-c500-mark-ii-camera-and-a-39k-reference-monitor |access-date=2022-09-01}}</ref>
In 2020 Canon released the C70, a camera bridging [[Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLR]] video shooters with [[Cinema Camera|cinema camera]] users. With features like professional recording options and interfaces and inputs similar to those on high-end cinema cameras are main aspects that make this camera very appealing for [[Independent film|indie film]] makers. On top of that the camera uses Canon’s latest lens mounting system, the [[Canon RF lens mount|RF mount]] which has a small [[flange focal distance]] meaning that the camera can adapt a variety of different lenses including [[Canon EF lens mount|EF mount]], [[Arri PL|PL]], [[Nikon F-mount|Nikon F]], [[Canon FD lens mount|Canon FD]] and the list goes on, this is great for adapting vintage lenses which are cheap and very high quality and cinematic. It features many useful features like a [[Timecode|BNC timecode port]], 13 fully customisable buttons, built in [[Neutral-density filter|ND filters]], [[articulating screen]], 2 [[XLR connector|XLR ports]], 2 [[3.5mm audio jack|3.5mm audio jacks]] (one for [[microphone]], one for [[headphones]]) and monitors for [[Waveform monitor|waveform]], [[Focus peaking|peaking]] and zebras.


In early 2020 Canon would release the Canon EOS C300 Mark III, a Super 35 4K camera which shares a similar body to the C500 Mark II. The camera allows raw recording to [[CFexpress]] type B cards, and features a dual gain output sensor, allowing for a claimed dynamic range of 16+ stops. The camera also features a built in ND filter system. <ref name=":1">{{Cite web |date=2020-04-21 |title=Canon Announces the EOS C300 Mark III |url=https://www.newsshooter.com/2020/04/21/canon-announces-the-c300-mark-iii/ |access-date=2022-09-01 |website=Newsshooter |language=en-US}}</ref>

In late 2020 Canon released the C70, a camera bridging [[Digital single-lens reflex camera|DSLR]] video shooters with [[Cinema Camera|cinema camera]] users. It includes all of the features of the larger C300 Mark III (which shares the same sensor) in a smaller body that is more appealing to [[Independent film|indie filmmakers]]. The camera uses Canon's latest lens mount, [[Canon RF lens mount|RF]]. The RF mount features a shorter [[Flange focal distance|flange depth]] allowing lenses from other mounts (like the more common cine lens mounts like [[Arri PL|PL]] or [[Canon EF lens mount|EF]]) to be easily adapted to it. It has features like a dedicated [[Timecode#Video and film|timecode]] port, user assignable buttons, built in ND filters, an array of audio ports, and Canon's full suite of monitoring tools.<ref name=":2">{{Cite web |title=Canon announces the EOS C70, a Cinema EOS camera in a mirrorless body |url=https://www.dpreview.com/news/4191695857/canon-announces-the-eos-c70-a-cinema-eos-camera-in-a-mirrorless-body |access-date=2022-09-01 |website=DPReview}}</ref>

Canon EOS C100
Canon EOS C500
Canon EOS C70

The Canon Cinema EOS (Cinema Electro-Optical System) autofocus digital photographic and cinematographic SLR and mirrorless interchangeable lens camera system was introduced in late 2011 with the Canon EOS C300 and followed by the Canon EOS C500 and Canon EOS 1D C in early 2012.[1]

History

[edit]

Cinema EOS is a branch-off from the existing EOS line of cameras that dates back to 1987 with the introduction of the analog Canon EOS 650. With many Canon DSLRs adding motion video capabilities, starting with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II in 2008,[2][3] Canon decided to focus on making cameras specially designed for motion video instead of just producing still video cameras with some motion video capabilities.

The Cinema EOS line launched in late 2011, with a multi-day gala event held at Paramount Studios. Director Martin Scorsese spoke, and four films (directed by Sam Nicholson, ASC; Vincent LaForet, Richard Crudo, ASC and Felix Alcala ASC/Larry Carroll) shot with the new Canon C300MkI as well as accompanying Behind the Scenes films were presented.[4] Products introduced included the C300 and new CN-E lenses (with both Canon EF and Arri PL mounts).

In early 2012, Canon began to expand the Cinema EOS line with the C500, which added 4K/QHD recording and RAW capture to the existing features of the C300. The new C500 would be the first camera to offer uncompressed raw motion video recording.[5]

Canon also announced a variant of the Canon EOS-1D X, called the Canon EOS-1D C, which featured 4K (but not raw) recording on the same sensor. The new split in the Canon EOS 1D series follows its recent reunification of the high-resolution line (1D S) and high-speed line (1D) in 2011.[6]

Additional announcements included an upcoming Canon camera that would feature 4K motion video capabilities in a DSLR body. The demonstration of a prototype device from Canon was a rarity and was seen as a sign of their intent to enter the new still and motion camera market.[7]

In 2019 Canon released the Canon EOS C500 Mark II, a revision of the previous C500 model. This upgraded version included a Full Frame 5.9K sensor (the same sensor as the larger C700 FF camera), and allowed raw recording onto CFexpress type B cards. The camera featured a higher dynamic range with a claimed 15+ stops. The camera also features a built in ND filter system.[8]

In early 2020 Canon would release the Canon EOS C300 Mark III, a Super 35 4K camera which shares a similar body to the C500 Mark II. The camera allows raw recording to CFexpress type B cards, and features a dual gain output sensor, allowing for a claimed dynamic range of 16+ stops. The camera also features a built in ND filter system. [9]

In late 2020 Canon released the C70, a camera bridging DSLR video shooters with cinema camera users. It includes all of the features of the larger C300 Mark III (which shares the same sensor) in a smaller body that is more appealing to indie filmmakers. The camera uses Canon's latest lens mount, RF. The RF mount features a shorter flange depth allowing lenses from other mounts (like the more common cine lens mounts like PL or EF) to be easily adapted to it. It has features like a dedicated timecode port, user assignable buttons, built in ND filters, an array of audio ports, and Canon's full suite of monitoring tools.[10]

In 2022 Canon released the R5 C, a cinema version of their R5 mirrorless stills camera. It is a full frame camera with an RF mount, and allows for 8K internal raw recording.[11]
