This camera is a BEAST. Build quality is what Canon is known for and this does not disappoint. The images are crisp because of the 5.9k sensor and the dual pixel autofocus is super reliable. It pairs with my C200 perfectly and plays well with all my EF lenses. I just wish there was an option for 4K 120p but you can't win them all. Lastly, Adorama was a pleasure to work with in purchasing this camera!

Hands down the camera you have been waiting for!!!

I bought this camera about a month ago in my business you don't always get the chance to shoot things over again. with that being said the EOS C500 Mark II has not let me down yet!!
The Perfect Cinema Camera for 2020
By TODD L.
I had a great purchasing experience from Adorama. I will certainly be doing business with them again. In regards to the Canon EOS 500 Mark II, I love this camera! It's exactly what I've been looking for. The modularity, codec, 6K recording capability, internal Raw recording are just a few of the awesome benefits that this camera brings to the table. I do not think anyone would be disappointed with this purchase, but rather will be thrilled with the potential that this camera has.
Impressive usability and imaging power combine in the EOS C500 Mark II, the customizable full frame cinema camera that’s built for creative freedom.
The lightweight body comes equipped with Canon's 5.9K full-frame CMOS sensor capable of over 15 stops of dynamic range. The newly developed DIGIC DV 7 Image Processor expands functionality and flexibility by enabling features such as 5.9K recording, internal recording of Canon Cinema Raw Light and Dual Pixel Autofocus.
The Cinema EOS C500 Mark II features Canon’s high-resolution 5.9K (38.1 x 20.1mm) Full Frame CMOS sensor, which offers exceptional low noise and a broad range of tonality with over 15 stops of dynamic range. The sensor’s expansive native Cinema Gamut goes beyond that of current standards, including ITU-R BT.2020 and DCI-P3, helping the EOS C500 Mark II achieve more natural skin tones.
User interchangeable lens mounts and an available B4 mount adapter gives operators the freedom to make bold creative choices based on the subject matter.
The EOS C500 Mark II ships with an EF Mount that can be user swapped to an optional Locking EF (EF-C) or PL mount. Each mount swaps easily by simply removing four M3 hex screws.
Thanks to the powerful DIGIC DV 7 image processing platform, the EOS C500 Mark II can record Cinema RAW Light directly to onboard CFexpress cards, which keeps the data-rich signal captured by the 5.9K full-frame sensor intact. Cinema RAW Light offers plenty of freedom for grading in file sizes that are about 1/3 to 1/5 the size of Cinema RAW.
Canon has added three Cinema RAW Light recording modes, all with 12-bit recording capabilities, in addition to the existing RAW Light format, giving the camera four different RAW recording options to choose from. Download the firmware update to access these modes.

With Expansion Unit EU-V2, the EOS C500 Mark II supports up to 4-channel audio recording. Audio input from the camera’s internal microphone, mini mic port, and XLR ports can be assigned to the 4 different audio channels. This flexibility allows a wide range of audio devices to be connected and mixed directly on the camera.
The EOS C500 Mark II supports Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma. In post-production, Canon Log is designed to reproduce the entire tonal range that the CMOS image sensor is capable of. Log workflows provide the user with higher dynamic range, more highlight and shadow retention, and more flexibility in grading.Canon Log 2 provides the largest dynamic range and image detail. While Canon Log 2 provides the most post-production flexibility and full dynamic range of the sensor, it typically requires more time in color correction.
DAF can simulate a focus pull using preset locations. After setting two separate focus locations on screen, the cameras set button can be used to alternate between the two focus points. The focus racking effect can be fine-tuned by adjusting AF tracking speed and response.
The Cinema EOS C500 Mark II features Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology. For DAF, each pixel in the camera’s CMOS sensor is configured with two photodiodes. Two independent image signals can then be detected at each photosite and compared using phase-difference to provide autofocus with compatible lenses.
DAF can survey the scene and recognizes not only whether the subject is in focus or not, but in which direction (near or far), and by how much. DAF technology can also be used to aid in manual focus. Focus information is translated to an on-screen guide that conveys to the operator the subjects current focus and direction to move in order achieve focus. When sharp focus is achieved the indicator turns green as a clear indication.
This unit converts the EOS C500 Mark II from a compact powerhouse to a full production camera system ready for anything. EU-V2 adds two additional XLR audio inputs, Lens port, 24-volt DC out, and D-Tap power, in addition to Genlock, sync out, Remote B (RS422) and Ethernet port. It also allows the camera to be powered using industry standard v-lock batteries.
The EVF-V50 OLED electronic viewfinder is a tilting 0.46” approx. 1.77 million dot OLED EVF that offers outstanding visibility for single-operator applications, such as documentaries and outdoor interviews.
A new modular design allows productions to optimize and customize the EOS C500 Mark II to specific shooting needs. Accessories and expansion units can be easily attached to provide different levels of functionality. The camera is equally at home fully rigged with a large zoom lens, FIZ unit, audio accessories and rangefinder as it is stripped down flying on a drone.
The EOS C500 Mark II offers cinematographers anamorphic lens support. Users can now achieve wide cinematic looks and oval bokeh particular to anamorphic glass. It is a distinctly cinematic palette that is within reach for your next project.
To accurately record the extensive data produced by the 5.9K imaging sensor and provide greater recording times, the EOS C500 Mark features two CFexpress recording slots. CFexpress is the future of onboard recording media providing write speeds needed for higher resolutions and frame rates. The dual card slots can be used to either create an instantaneous backup thorough simultaneous recording or extend record run times by relay recording.
