4K Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark II and C500 Mark II Due in April

February 24, 2015 By Eric Reagan

Canon-C500-Mark-II

Canon is now rumored to deliver the second generation of the Cinema EOS C300 and the C500 for NAB 2015 in early April.

Canon Rumors says that it has confirmed that the C500 Mark II would arrive – most likely alongside a 4K C300 Mark II cinema camera too.

Recall that we saw the Canon Cinema EOS C100 Mark II unveiled back in October 2014. It saw mild, yet important, upgrades from its predecessor.

Pushing the C300 Mark II to 4K is a big step up but still only a logical progression for a $12k+ camera in 2015. No word yet on what improvements the C500 Mark II will see.

This is a great video from Canon and Alex Buono, who is the DP for SNL, covering the 4K workflow with the Canon EOS C500. As Buono points out, 4K is important in today’s 1080 world for both reframing options on some projects and future-proofing others with a 4K master. [Read more…]

Zacuto Z-Finder for C300 and C500

Shot-by-Shot Breakdown of Cameras Used in ‘Need for Speed’ Trailer

February 26, 2014 By Eric Reagan

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HOaYdwWw_kQ&w=640&h=360]

Shane Hurlbut is the cinematographer for the new Need for Speed movie. A couple weeks ago, he had a contest to see who could spot the GoPro footage in the trailer. The contest is over now, but Shane put together an annotated trailer that labels all the cameras and lenses used in the trailer for each and every shot (…and there are a lot of cuts in there).

Need for Speed Trailer

Along with the C500 and Alexa Plus, there are a few shots using the Canon 1D C in obvious tight quarters or crash cam situations. Notably, all the cameras are capable of 4K image capture (and were shooting 4K) even though the film was finished in 2K. However, the 4K frame gives plenty of room for reframes and stabilization, which makes sense when you’re shooting car sequences at 120mph. [Read more…]
