Canon announced the imminent release of 2 cameras capable of shooting 4K video: EOS-1D C and EOS C500
The 4K format (4096 by 2160 pixels) will probably become the new standard in Hollywood and in filmmaking in general. Several TV manufacturers, in particular, LG and Sony have already demonstrated panels with this resolution, and Sharp even presented a prototype TV with an 8K resolution at CES. Video resolution is more than 4 times greater than FullHD (1920x1080).
The new EOS-1D C, made for cameramen and television producers, has an 18-megapixel full-frame sensor capable of shooting 4K video at 24 frames per second, and in FullHD video at speeds from 24 to 60 frames per second. The extended ISO range is limited to 25600 units, and when taking photos - 51200. You can shoot at speeds up to 14 frames per second. The camera will be available by the end of the year for a suggested price of $ 15,000. Canon also announced the development of 2 professional cameras for the cinema: the C500 with an EF bayonet (standard DSLR bayonet) and PL (a lens bayonet for video cameras). Both are capable of shooting 4K video in uncompressed RAW format. In addition, the C500 \ PL will be able to shoot with a resolution of quad full-HD (3840x2160), 2K (2048x1080) and FullHD at speeds up to 60 frames per second, and when connecting the YCrCb profile - 120 frames per second. The recommended price is not reported, but from unofficial sources information has been received that the approximate cost is $ 35,000.
