The Future of Film Making!! Canon EOS C300

Hello all, welcome to our first installment in film page of Through the Lens. I felt it would be appropriate to start off with a great camera that is taking the film world by storm, The Cinema EOS C300 camera from Canon. I am a Canon fanatic, the only company I love more than Canon would have to be Apple, and the minute they make an Icamera, things might change, but until then Let take a look at this camera.

Introducing Canon's Cinema EOS C300 a brand new HD system for a new era of film making. This beautiful work of art is designed to keep up with the always evolving needs of cinematography. It comes in two versions, the industry-standard PL-lens mount or Canon's EF mount. If that wasn't enough Canon does not disappoint, they have a whole family of EF Cinema lenses designed for cinematography applications. The C300 is lightweight extremely versatile and limitless potential for growth, and simple to operate. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL adhere to SMPTE HD production standards, and it also has a MPEG-2 codec. Starting at 13,999.00 this will make your vision as beautiful on screen as it is in your mind.

This is where the film industry is going, in 2010 when everyone started jumping on the DSLR bandwagon, Canon 7d was the camera of choice, the image quality was beautiful, and the best part was the price. At 1,500 for the body, almost anyone could afford one. Now almost 3 years later, almost everyone has one. If not Canon then the Nikon counterpart. Canon saw this trend and started developing cameras like the C300, changing the way movies are mad all over the world. Now TV shows, and films both major and independent are being shot on dslr cameras. Canon just took it up a notch, and film makers all over the world are truly grateful.
