Description
The Canon C300 Mark III is a Super 35 cinema camera built around a Dual Gain Output sensor, with dual-native ISO, 4K up to 120fps, and support for anamorphic lenses — a fit for documentary, broadcast and cinema work alike.
Sensor and Processing
The Super 35mm DGO sensor exceeds 16 stops of dynamic range by processing brighter and darker areas of each pixel with separate gain amplifiers, keeping noise low without sacrificing highlight headroom. The DIGIC DV7 processor drives high frame rate recording, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, Cinema RAW Light and proxy recording.
Frame Rates and Recording
4K recording reaches 120fps, with a 2K crop mode up to 180fps. Cinema RAW Light records directly to CFexpress cards at roughly a third to a fifth the file size of Canon Cinema RAW, and XF-AVC covers 4K up to 120fps and 2K up to 180fps internally. Canon Log 2 and Log 3 gamma both cover high dynamic range grading, with Log 3 offering faster turnaround at a still-strong 14 stops.
Design and Mount
A modular design lets accessories and expansion units scale the body up for a full production rig or strip it down for drone work, with 5-axis electronic stabilisation and support for up to 4-channel audio via the EU-V2 expansion unit. Ships in EF mount (default) with a PL mount conversion available — select above.
