Canon EOS C300 Mark II (PL)

The Canon EOS C300 Mark II (PL) is a professional-grade 4K cinema camera and a predecessor to the more advanced Canon EOS C300 Mark III PL. Key features include:

8.85MP 4K DCI Super 35 CMOS sensor
Internal 4:2:2 10-bit in 4K and up to 4:4:4 12-bit in 2K
Record MXF to two cfast cards and proxies to SD
Capture up to 120p in 2K or full HD plus RAW out

In-Camera 4K Recording. The Canon C300 Mark II captures 4096 × 2160 4K (that’s DCI, not UHD) at 24/25/30 fps internally in a trio of XF-AVC H.264 codecs. Twin 3G-SDI outputs enable 4K RAW output to a supporting external recorder for maximum quality. It also offers oversampling HD for capturing 2K/Full HD video at a variety of frame rates up to 120 fps.

Canon 8.85 Megapixel Super 35mm CMOS Sensor. This new 16:9 CMOS sensor provides 4K capture, but it also improves on many of its predecessor’s already great specs. The Dual DiG!C DV 5 image processors offer 15 stops of dynamic range (12 stops in the original), improved high ISO performance up to 102.400 and reduced rolling-shutter distortion.

Canon Log Gamma 2. Designed to take advantage of the C300 Mark II’s 10-bit recording capability, the files produced using Log format enable a large degree of color correction/grading in post-production with minimal image degradation. Canon touts that it offers dynamic range up to 1600%.

PL Mount. This version features the Positive Lock (PL) mount, making it compatible with a wide range of professional cinema lenses.

Refined Ergonomics. Like its predecessor, the Mark II features a modular design with removable components depending on your needs. Besides a different layout for buttons, memory cards, battery, and input/outputs, the Mark II also includes an improved low-angle top handle with additional mounting points. There’s a new 1.77MP OLED EVF that provides greater color reproduction, contrast, and response.

Connectivity. The camera is equipped with two 3G-SDI, a genlock input, a time code input/output, and an HDMI output. Additionally, the camera’s various “assist-displays”—including waveform monitor, edge monitor, peaking, zebra, and magnify—can be output through SDI and HDMI. The C300 Mark II comes standard with two UN-5 1.6ft audio/video cables. If you need more flexibility in mounting, we also rent the Canon UN-10 3.3ft Monitor Cable Pair for C300 Mark II.

Dual CFast 2.0 Slots. To support the high amount of data transferred for 4K capture, the C300 Mark II records to CFast 2.0 memory cards. There’s also a single SD card slot for simultaneously capturing 2K/Full HD video and proxy recording.

Video Tech

Originally thought to be Canon’s answer to the Sony FS7, the C300 Mark II really fits better somewhere between the FS7 and RED. The C300 Mark II’s color space reacts to artificial light better than...

Q & A

Are there any known compatibility issues with the C300 Mark II?

At this time, 24/30p signals will only work with the current generation SmallHD monitors. If you’re using any of our other monitors, you must set the camera to 60i/60p. If you’re using a monitor we don’t carry, you do so at your own risk.
When shooting in DCI 4K, an HDMI monitor will only show a 16 × 9 cropped image. This doesn’t impact recording.
To use an HDMI monitor with this camera, you’ll need to disable the MON. SDI port in the camera menu.
When using an external monitor while shooting in the camera’s Slow & Fast mode, be aware that the camera outputs 1080/30 (P/PsF) for frame rates 1 to 30, and 1080/60i for frame rates 31 to 60.

Does this rental include the shoulder strap, tape measure hook, WFT bracket, or battery door?

This rental doesn’t include the shoulder strap, tape measure hook, WFT bracket, or battery cover. If you’d like any of those, please request them in the Special Instructions box during checkout. Please note that the battery door is only compatible with Canon’s BP-A30, the smallest battery available for the camera.
