Magnanimous Media has put together a couple sample videos in its first look with the Canon C300 Mark II, which shoots 4K video and features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF functionality in the EF mount flavor.

The Canon EOS C300 Mark II is due out in September. The above short film, Trick Shot, is the first film shot on the new C300 Mark II and it is made available on YouTube in full 4K resolution. You may have to click over to YouTube if you have a 4K display and watch to want it at full resolution.
The short was directed by Evan Kaufmann and shot by cinematographer Gale Tattersall, who you might recall also made headlines after he shot an episode of House M.D. entirely with the Canon 5D Mark II.

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.
The Canon EOS C100 Mark II was recently announced with a rather modest, yet still effective, set of feature upgrades. Notably missing from the feature set was the ability to record 4K video. The second generation of the C300 line, however, is rumored to make the move to 4K capture. [Read more…]
