Canon EOS C500 Mark II Full-Frame Camera Body (EF Mount)

 The Canon EOS C500 Mark II 5.9K Full-Frame Camera Body is part of the Cinema EOS lineup of cameras, and it features a full-frame CMOS sensor with an effective 18.69MP resolution. The C500 Mark II comes with a Canon EF mount and features an interchangeable lens mount system, allowing you to swap out the mount in the field for an optional Cinema Locking EF or PL mount, thus greatly expanding the amount of glass you can use with the camera. 

The sensor is capable of capturing footage in a variety of aspect formats, including DCI-4K, UHD, and Anamorphic Widescreen. The EOS C500 Mark II uses the DiG! C DV 7 image processor that takes the extensive raw information captured from the 5.9K sensor. An industry-standard PL mount is also available, enabling using virtually any PL-mount lens on your C500 Mark II.

A new feature to the Cinema EOS ecosystem, the C500 Mark II features a built-in five-axis electronic IS that works with almost any lens, including anamorphic lenses. Expansion unit 1 adds genlock/sync out, remote B (RS-422), and Ethernet ports, making the camera well suited for multicamera live production and streaming. Log workflows provide the user with higher dynamic range, more highlight and shadow retention, and more flexibility in grading.

Canon Log 3 provides an alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of 14 stops, which may speed up the post-production time. The camera body features two XLR audio inputs, and the camera supports a total of four audio tracks for recording. Two additional XLR audio inputs are available with an optional Expansion Unit 2.
