At IBC 2019 Canon was publically showing their new C500 Mark II for the first time. We caught up with Canon to ask them about how the camera has been percieved and we also got to speak to Director Brett Danton who had an opportunity to use the camera to film an upcoming Jaguar commercial.
The camera features the exact same sensor that is found in the EOS C700 FF. and it can record 5.9K at up to 60p.
