Canon Cinema Eos 550d C500 camera hands-on (video)

The familiar Eos 550d-1D C is not the only real Canon camera to create its public debut in front of NAB. The Cinema Eos 550d series welcomes another model towards the collection now, with looks that nearly match last year's C300. Unlike that model, which you'll already get through e-tailers and also at niche shops, the C500 includes a lengthy approach to take before it will get a shipping jerk -- it might not even reach market this year. The $30,000 cost may pose a much better barrier to entry than its to-be-introduced availability date, however, and could looking for some fine-tuning of all time prepared to contend with old models, such as the a smaller amount costly Red-colored Scarlet. Such as the 1D C, the C500 can shoot 4K video -- probably the most apparent upgrade in the $16,000 C300. To that particular finish, improving its cost might be the only method for Canon to prevent cannibalizing that less-abled flavor, because so many cinematographers would certainly pay little focus on the C300, due simply to the 1080p-limited shooting abilities.

It has been a couple of several weeks since we have last seen Canon's first Cinema Eos 550d model, however the C500 includes a feel and look that appears to become only subtly not the same as the C300. It's noticeably heavier, likely because of the extra cooling gear aboard to support 4K shooting. Both tastes include dual CF card slots, which you'll want to only have the ability to use for nipping 1080p video -- 4K is given for an exterior recorder with the dual 3rd generation-SDI ports, which for apparent reasons you will not find around the C300. Gleam bigger grip aboard, now a lasting fixture around the C500, that ought to aid with bare-bones handheld shoots -- but when you are shedding 30 grand on the digital body, some stays along with a dolly should not be far behind. Like its brother or sister, the 2010 model ships with whether Canon Eos 550d or industry standard PL mount, if you need to have both, you will need two cameras. Overall, you are searching in the same sleek, although slightly unconventional body design, having a cost that's prone to make amateurs be sad and pros run for that rental house. Of course, there is a hands-on video waiting just beyond the break.
