This is a really great camera that takes beautiful footage, but if you care about customer service buy this somewhere else. My company bought this camera from Adorama for a shoot that was happening a few weeks later and the camera arrived with a defective sensor and would not turn on. I know this is nobody's fault it happens, but their customer service would not replace the camera or offer any kind of solution other than call Canon for a warranty claim. So because of shipping and repair times the almost $6k camera we bought wont be used on the shoot we specifically got it for. So my advice is if you are spending this kind of money I would go to company that actually backs up their sales and cares about their clients like B&H or buy directly from Canon. And just in case anyone is wondering I talked to 3 different customer service reps. and a supervisor over the course of about 4 days trying to get them to return or exchange the broken camera they sold me. So once more I say, buy somewhere else.

Let me start by comparing this camera to the cameras I have used personally. I have read countless reviews based solely on specs. Yes this camera is extreme in choices of image quality. Here is how I get around it. I use the Angelbird 1tb CFast. Gives me 136 min of RAW recording at 4k 10 bit 60fps. From there I mount the CFast and convert if needed to 10 bit 422 pro res using the free Canon RAW utility. This Camera runs side by side to my Canon C-500. Image matches well. The key to this camera is the small form factor to run and gun. Battery life on the C-500 is 60 min shooting 4K using the BP-975. The C-200 is around 3 1/2 hours using the BP-A60 using Phantom power. Build quality is top notch. Nothing compares to it. I had the Panasonic EVA-1 and returned it. The plastic moved and makes cracking noises. Image is nice. Really nice. The Focus Assist on the EVA-1 is the best I ever used. Small green blocks that get bigger with focus. But Canon Dual Pixel autofocus is king.

Best camera around!
By Dave K.
Perfect for its ergonomics, fast razor sharp autofocus, lightweight design, and killer codec!
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is a "ready-to-go" production camera that comes with a built-in electronic viewfinder and an array of accessories including a 4-inch touch screen LCD monitor, a versatile handle and ergonomic handgrip. The camera can record internal 4K RAW to a CFast 2.0 card in our new Cinema RAW Light format without compromising detail, as well as 4K UHD and Full HD in MP4 format to SD cards.
The 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS sensor, 13 stops of dynamic range, Dual Pixel CMOS AF, full compatibility with Canon PL-mount lenses and HDR capability help make the EOS C200 ideal for film, documentary and television production, corporate and event videography and news gathering. The camera's multitude of features helps deliver outstanding image quality, performance and versatility.
Canon 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS Sensor
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera integrates an 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm 16:9 CMOS sensor that supports 4K (DCI) recording with a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels. The camera fully utilizes the image data delivered by this 4K CMOS sensor to also enable Over Sampling HD Processing for 2K (DCI) and Full HD 1080/60p recording.
Each pixel in this CMOS imaging sensor also maintains a wide pixel pitch that maximizes the amount of light that falls on to each photo site, thus enhancing the EOS C200 camera's sensitivity while also minimizing noise and supporting ISO speeds of up to 102,400 for extreme low-light imaging. This sensor also reduces data-readout time, resulting in a reduction in rolling-shutter artifacts.
Fully Compatible with New and Existing Canon PL-Mount Lenses
A major aspect of the creative filmmaking potential of the EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is its compatibility with the full range of more than 100 Canon PL photographic lenses (including specialty tilt-shift and fisheye models) and Canon's 4K CN-E Cinema prime and zoom lenses, including the "ENG-style" Canon CINE-SERVO and COMPACT-SERVO zooms. Improved PL lens communication capabilities of the EOS C200 camera provide the display of CN-E Cinema lens T-values, compatibility with Dual-Pixel CMOS AF, lens metadata acquisition and chromatic aberration correction.
For those users who are accustomed to seeing the T-value displayed when using PL lenses for digital cinema, it is possible to switch the camera to display either the F-value or the T-value. This is important for those that shoot on movie sets and prefer to know how much light is passing through the opening of the lens and actually making it to the sensor. T-values are the traditional measure of light reaching the sensor in video production, while F-stop is the measure of light in still photography. The ability to see the F-stop helps those transitioning from still to video shooting.
Built-in Viewfinder with LCD Touch Panel, Camera Grip and Handle Unit
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera is a "ready-to-go" production camera, right out of the box. The camera comes with a built-in electronic viewfinder, along with a 4-inch Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1), Camera Grip (GR-V1), Handle Unit (HDU-2) and Battery Charger (CG-A20)- all helping make the EOS C200 ideal for single operator shooting applications including film, documentary and television production, as well as corporate video and event videography work and newsgathering.
Built-In Electronic Viewfinder
The 0.46 inch, 1.77 million dot built-in electronic viewfinder has a full array of menu options for controlling camera settings and supports HDR viewing.
Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1)
The fully adjustable and detachable, 1.23 million dot, 4-inch Touch Screen LCD Monitor works with Canon's exclusive AF technologies for easy monitoring and one-finger "tap-focusing" during shooting.
Camera Grip (GR-V1)
The new Rosette style camera grip makes rotating and removing the grip simpler and features an improved ergonomic design to help steady and focus the camera.
Handle Unit (HDU-2)
This handle unit can be attached to the camera body without tools and features a new handle screw that enables fast and easy attachment. The unit can also be used to mount a variety of optional peripherals.
Dual DiG!C DV 6 Image Processors
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features our newly developed dual DiG!C DV 6 image processors, which powerfully process high-resolution image data. The two on-board DiG!C DV 6 image processors allow for the recording of 1,800 horizontal TV lines in 4K. The DiG!C 6 is Canon's sixth-generation Image processor that uses proprietary technology, allowing users to achieve high performance and creative freedom when acquiring images.
Over Sampling HD Processing
The EOS C200 features Over Sampling HD Processing, a high-image-quality signal processing system that satisfies a broad spectrum of video production needs by effectively utilizing the abundant powers of 4K image expression in 2K (2048 x 1080) / Full HD (1920 x 1080) recording.
ISO Range of 100 to 102,400 Supported
The EOS C200 supports an ISO range of between 160 and 25,600. That range expands to between 100 to 102,400 when the "Extended Sensitivity" is set on the camera. This range of ISO settings provide the user with more creative freedom. Low ISO values allow the user to use large iris settings and shallow depth of field, even in scenes of bright light. The higher ISO values provide the user with more flexibility in dimly lit situations. A 54db gain setting can also be set to achieve high sensitivity in dimly lit scenes.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features our Dual Pixel CMOS AF (DAF) Technology. DAF is a breakthrough AF technology that uses the CMOS sensor.
Each pixel in the camera's CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite. By implementing phase-difference AF, smooth focusing is accomplished using Canon PL lenses with much higher speed and accuracy than was possible with previous technologies- a major advantage during single-operator shooting.
Continuous AF and Face Detection AF with all Canon PL Lenses
The EOS C200 has one-touch AF (with a push-button) and continuous AF within approximately 80% of the overall image area. Face Detection AF is another autofocus mode that can track a person's face in the frame and maintain focus on them. To further fine tune AF performance, the EOS C200 offers the ability to set the AF tracking speed (up to 10 steps) and sensitivity (up to 7 steps) to match the user's preference.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF with Touch Focus
Achieve faster focus with the included Touch Screen LCD Monitor (LM-V1), a new accessory with touch screen support. Tapping the area of the frame quickly brings the image into focus. This ability to choose the subject for focusing with the tap of the screen helps to make focusing intuitive.
Dual Pixel Focus Guide
The camera's Dual Pixel Focus Guide takes advantage of Dual Pixel CMOS AF data to display focus assist information on the screen. The innovative user interface applies Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to provide the user focus feedback. This lowers the barrier for focusing, especially when shooting in 4K, which requires strict focus accuracy.
The Dual Pixel Focus Guide presents the user with a rectangle in which to focus the subject. The rectangle turns green when the subject is in focus. If the subject is out of focus the box will turn gray and the arrows will indicate which way to adjust the lens to regain focus.
AF Tuning
A newly developed menu function has been added for Auto-Focus tuning, allowing easy access to camera and lens settings. The AF Speed Tuning function allows users to set the lens drive speed to any of 10 steps. AF subject tracking characteristics can also be varied and set to any of 7 steps, allowing the user to select the appropriate responsiveness when changes have occurred in the subject.
Internal 4K RAW Recording with New Cinema RAW Light
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera features Canon's newly developed Cinema RAW Light, a 4K RAW recording file format offering a smaller file size compared to our standard RAW files, while maintaining the same high resolution, high color reproducibility and wide dynamic range data to provide dramatically greater freedom in grading and compositing.
Only CFast 2.0 with VPG130 is Supported
CFast 2.0 Cards with a VPG130 rating must be used when recording with the Cinema RAW Light format. Designed for high-end video recording, the VPG130 specification enables a sustained capture of video streams up to 130 MB/s.
Cinema RAW Light
Cinema RAW Light files are about 1/3 to 1/5 the size of our standard RAW files. The smaller file size and reduced bit rate speeds up data transfer and allows internal recording to CFast cards. The reduced file size also helps users extend storage capacity and transfer files on a network more easily. The high bit depth of Cinema RAW Light (10bit/12bit) maximizes retention of color and dynamic range information, which is especially critical in HDR production.
Simultaneous Recording
4K video can be recorded to a CFast 2.0 card while recording 2K proxy video to an SD card. The smaller size of the 2K proxy file allows for easier editing.
Internal 4K UHD and Full HD Recording in MP4
The EOS C200 Digital Cinema Camera offers 4K UHD and Full HD recording in MP4 format, up to 60fps. The compact size of the MP4 codec allows the EOS C200 to capture images directly to low cost SD cards.
