We’re back on the waiting game for more info on the upcoming Canon 5D Mark IV. Everyone seems to be feeling good that the 5D Mark IV will be announced in time for Photokina 2016.
The latest rumors tipped to Canon Rumors point to a 24MP successor to the 5D Mark III and the addition of a CFast card slot. Below is the complete rundown of the latest rumored specs. [Read more…]
B&H has the Canon XC10 and other pro camcorders up to $1000 off regular prices this week. The 4K-capable XC10 is available for $1999 (reg. $2499). The XF100, XF200 and XF300 are all part of the sale as well. Check them all out here at B&H Photo.
Following the release of the ME20F-SH (and the new Cinema Kit option), Canon unveiled its little brother ME200S-SH a few days ago. While the ME20F-SH runs about $20K, the new ME200S-SH is available for $5K. [Read more…]
Canon C100 Mark II
B&H has the Canon EOS C100 line on sale this week as part of its NAB sale for up to $1500 off. The original C100 is now only $2499 (orig. $3999). The C100 Mark II is also available in the sale. Check out all of the bodies and kits here at B&H Photo.
Alongside the Cinema Kit for the ME20F-SH camera, Canon also unveiled a new Compact-Servo 18-80mm cinema lens. It is compatible with EF-mount Super 35 and APS-C cameras and features a T4.4 constant aperture throughout the entire focal range.
The lens also works with Canon Cinema EOS cameras that use Dual Pixel AF for reliable autofocus and offers a number of camera controls on the lens body and servo unit, including push auto iris, record start and stop, as well as remote lens control with industry-standard controllers.
The Canon Compact-Servo 18-80mm lens and ZSG-C10 accessory grip are scheduled to be available later in 2016 for an estimated retail price of $5,500 and $499 respectively. Check it out here at B&H Photo.
When Canon announced the ME20F-SH camera last year, its rated ISO 4,000,000 spec blew us away. Now, Canon is extending the functionality of the camera with a ME20F-SH Cinema Kit option (something users had already been doing anyway).
The new ME20F-SH Cinema Kit option includes: [Read more…]
Rumors of the Canon 5D Mark IV continue to trickle in. The latest word comes from Canon Rumors, which believes Canon will launch the 5D Mark IV in the August/September time frame ahead of Photokina (in late September).
There are really no reliable specs for the camera at this point. Previous rumors have suggested everything from 28MP to 4K video to CFast card slots. None of those specs are either confirmed or ruled out at this point.
NAB is just about 10 days away, so the rumor mill may pick up a bit over the next couple weeks leading up to whatever Canon’s news is for NAB.
Canon C100 Mark II
The Canon C100 Mark II is now available with a $1000 instant rebate in either the body or kit forms. You can find it here at B&H Photo.
