T o much fanfare, Canon has launched its EOS C400 cinema camera, featuring an RF mount and the advanced CN7x17 KAS T lens. This addition to Canon’s line- up is designed for versatility, catering to everything from indie cinema and documentaries to live broadcasts and newsgathering. The EOS C400 is Canon’s first high-end RF mount cinema EOS model, representing a leap forward in the EOS R system. It boasts a compact yet powerful design – equipped with a 6K full-frame back-side illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, offering 16 stops of dynamic range. This advanced sensor technology
ensures exceptional image quality even in poor lighting conditions, thanks to Canon’s innovative triple base ISO technology. Filmmakers will appreciate the EOS C400’s array of in-camera connectivity options, including genlock, return input and a 12-pin lens terminal, making it ideal for live multicamera productions.

It provides a 7x optical zoom and focal length range of 17- 120mm, ideal for production scenarios such as live sports and documentary filmmaking.
