The Canon EOS C100 Mark II Cinema Camcorder is a professional video camera with a Super 35mm 8.3MP CMOS sensor and is compatible with Canon's line of EF-mount DSLR and cinema lenses. With continuous autofocus and 1080p HD video capture, it is an excellent choice for event videography, documentaries, and independent filmmakers. The camera uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF for fast and reliable focus acquisition. Key upgrades over the original model include Face Detection AF, MP4 recording, more frame rates when shooting AVCHD, slow/fast motion, and an additional built-in microphone. The EVF has been doubled in size, and the 3.5-inch OLED display's resolution has been increased. Canon Log LUT timecode is now supported.   What you should know about the Canon EOS C100 Mark II:   &#149; Super ISO range: You can shoot in near-darkness thanks to the C100 Mark II's wide ISO range of 320-102,400. Such a high sensitivity means less reliance on big lights and large crews. The Digic DV4 image processor achieves a high signal-noise ratio, for improved dynamic range and less noise at high speeds.  &#149; Autofocus upgrades: The C100 Mark II is compatible Canon autofocus DSLR lenses and has a Continuous AF function using Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. Each pixel has two separate photodiodes; software continuously compares each photodiode's output during AF mode for smooth focus transitions when talent or camera moves. This feature works with Canon's EF and newer STM lenses for smooth, quiet operation.  &#149; Easy navigation: The revised menu system can be navigated via camera buttons as an alternative to the removable joystick, so you can use menus when the side grip has been removed. You can also select one of 25 locations to magnify the image to easily check focus.  &#149; Super 35mm Sensor: Users can get the look of 35mm film thanks to the 8.3MP Super 35mm CMOS sensor. Its wider pixel pitch improves noise in low light, while the angle of view and depth of field will be more film-like.  &#149; Wide dynamic range: Thanks to Canon Log Gamma, the C100 Mark II boasts 12 stops of dynamic range by suppressing brightness while maintaining gradations. Color grading in post production is not necessary.  &#149; Many resolutions and frame rates: You can record AVCHD bit rates up to 24 Mbps, with resolution up to 1920x1080. Frame rates range from FP24 to 59.94p, as well as MP4 recording. Long takes are supported via relay recording between dual SD cards. The camera can also write video to both cards for redundancy. Uncompressed HDMI output is available with Timecode and Canon Log LUT options.  &#149; Small and ergonomic: The Canon C100 Mark II is smaller, designed for the solo shooter, but can be decked out with a range of camera-mounted accessories. A removable hand grip rotates 360 degrees for comfortable shooting. Hardware buttons can be customized to the user's needs.  &#149; Manual control: Users have full manual exposure and focus controls. Aids include focus peaking and Magnify Focus. Green and red waveforms give focus feedback on the LCD monitor. "

The C-100 is a great product. Even after years since it?s release, the camera still produces beautiful footage that?s workable in post. 

I mostly use mirrorless cameras for work but the C-100 is my go to when I want to get a little more cinematic with the look.

C-100 ?the underdog?

Love it..even in 2020 this camera is a beast! This is my main camera, so simple to use. Perfect for run and gun and anything else honestly.

Canon c100

I bough this in 2019 after having used one at work for 4 years.  Why buy a HD camera with a mediocre codec when 4k is common these days?  Simple - very reliable and great HD image quality.  Built-in HD filters, good XLR audio and cooling fan is HUGE advantage over mirrorless or DSLR shooting.  Excellent battery life, good layout of controls, small file sizes that still grade well even in 4.2.0 8 bit.  I'll take reliability and good image quality over the latest camera all the time.  This camera may be showing it's age, but still a lot to like about it.

Workhorse Camera

review

I have been using the Canon C100 Mark II for a while (6 months) and have managed to get some great footage. However, I am disappointed with the Face Tracking not finding my Canon 35 mm (1:1,4) and 70 - 200 mm (1:2,8) lenses "not compatible". It also will not allow me to access the Slow Motion option in the menu, using these high-end lenses!

Great features and user-friendly functions, BUT

If you are not ready to jump to 4k yet, the C100 Mark II is your best choice. The joy of using this camera is unmatched. A great camera for anyone transitioning from a DSLR.

Don't know why I would ever shoot on a DSLR again

Definitely recommend. Using for doc and interview work, has all the functions I need to accomplish what I want and speeds up my workflow. Shipped and arrived quick as well.

Workhorse of a camera

Solid. Serious upgrade from the C100 Mark II! Very pleased with this camera/lens combo.

Excellent

Had this camera for about 2 years. I trust it and it has never let me down. Picture quality is great and low light is great too. I like the way the camera looks and all the buttons you can use insted of going into the menu to find what your looking for. Very intuitive to use. 
A few things I would say, is the uncompressed HDMI output OTHER THEN 60P is interlaced and that makes it hard to work with. (who uses interlaced footage this day and age?). Also this camera has auto focus and it works not as good as I thought it would. It hunts and the thing in focus is NEVER really in focus, and I have to manual do it. Defeats  the purpose of AF. Using Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens.

Good Camera

you can barly seen any noise at iso 20000, its great.

great low light

I started the process of finding a workhorse for my business by working with the Blackmagic 4K PC, I ultimately ended up sending it back. You NEED lights and I mean lots of light. 

I decided to try this off a recommendation from Film Riot, and I couldn't be happier with every aspect of this camera. It's so worth the price and the learning curve is small.

Everything you want and more

Switched from Sony FS100. Love the image quality, and C-Log.
Found it very easy to use in run and gun, and weddings. 
Last weekend shot a dance event in low light conditions, came out stunning.

C100 M II outstanding

This camera resolves 1080 beautifully, and is a very solid performer, however I wish to go straight to a feature that should be improved: The only progressive output available in 1080 via the HDMI port is 60p. When set to 29.97 or 23.98. the HDMI signal is interlaced: 59.94i - and this has reduced the usability of this excellent camera. The HDMI output is critical for professional use, because the internal recording format is highly compressed. The only other aspect of this camera that is critical and unusual is the White Balance, (WB). If you select A or B and activate the WB while pointing at a white balance card, it properly sets the correct Kelvin, but if you choose Kelvin and manually dial the temperature to that very same temperature, it isn't the same result. Meaning, I can use the WB setting in preset A to activate a white balance and everything looks perfect. Let's say that the temperature is 3400 Kelvin. I can then change the preset to Kelvin and dial the temperature to 3400 manually but the result is not the same. This issue makes it necessary to use a white card for each camera on a multi camera shoot versus being able to simply match Kelvin temperature to the same identical value.

Professional 1080p Camera

A pleasure to operate. I love using the new viewfinder and 3.5" OLED monitor. The ergonomics are excellent; very lightweight considering how much it offers. Unusually beautiful 1080p image thanks to the in-camera 4K sampling. Great lowlight performance. The batteries last forever and the SD media is very affordable. Combines many of the best elements of a Canon DSLR and a traditional video camera.

I wish there was a Canon zoom control for this type of camera/lens system, but insofar as camera limitations go, I'm willing to sacrifice that for the interchangeable lens option. Plus I hear Zacuto has a zoom control solution coming out fairly soon.

All-in-all, this might be the most pleasurable professional camera I've ever owned.

Outstanding HD Video Camera

I own the C300 and the C100 Mark 1 and this new camera is my favorite.  The image is spectacular, with some very nice upgrades over the early Cinema EOS cameras.  Highly recommend this camera.
