The Canon ME20F-SH stands out with its full-frame 35mm CMOS sensor, offering an unparalleled sensitivity exceeding 4,000,000 ISO. This feature is a game-changer for professionals in television, cinema, nature and wildlife, documentary production, astronomy, military, security, and law enforcement, who require impeccable low-light performance.

Exceptional low-light capabilities are at the heart of the ME20F-SH, with its large 19 micrometers square photosites that ensure superior image quality with minimal illumination requirements. The camera's DIGIC DV 4 image processor enhances this further, providing a dynamic range of 12 stops and supporting Wide DR and Canon Log gamma profiles to preserve details in both shadows and highlights.
