B&H has the Canon EOS C200 cinema camera in stock and now shipping. The C200 is a balancing act between the entry-level C100 Mark II and the broadcast and cinema standard C300 Mark II. Notably, the C200 can record Canon’s Cinema RAW Light in-camera to the single CFast card slot. Cinema RAW Light is available in 4K 60p/50p at 10 bit and 4K 30p/25p/24p at 12 bit.

Sony has dropped the price of its popular FS5, FS7 and FS7 Mark II 4K cinema cameras by $1000. This move gives Sony more competitive pricing against the new Canon C200 and Panasonic EVA1.
