    The 8.3 megapixel Super-35 sensor in the C300 is a new CMOS design by Canon. It is not borrowed or re-engineered from the still photography side of the company; instead it has been created “from the ground up” and dedicated specifically to digital cinema applications. The sensor has a resolution of 2,160 pixels tall by 3,840 pixels wide, which qualifies as native 4K. Canon claims that rolling shutter skew is greatly reduced in this sensor relative to current HD-DSLR camera models. Also, each frame can be scanned by the Digic DV III processor more quickly compared to an HD-DSLR, such as the 21 megapixel CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS 5D Mk. II, which has 2.5 times as many pixels as the C300.

    Canon says that their Digic DV III processor reads this new sensor differently; it does not use the line-skipping method found in high-res HD-DSLR sensors. Instead, every four pixels (two green, one red, and one blue) are sampled for each final output pixel. In other words, color is assembled the same way as a traditional three-chip sensor block… two megapixels of red, two megapixels of blue and four megapixels of green (twice as much green as red or blue, since green carries the luminance info). Each primary color sampling off of the sensor is native 1920×1080, each color value alone is equal to the final output resolution. Canon claims that the processed signal has 1,000 lines of TV resolution, and the moire, diagonal line stair-stepping and other artifacts are greatly reduced in this chip compared to HD-DSLR cameras.

    ru guys there?
  • GOODEMPIREGOODEMPIRE
    Noisy, I agree. I wonder if these pictures really represent actual footage.

    Aiming at the F3 I guess?
  • driftwooddriftwood
    looks quite noisy!
  • B3GuyB3Guy
    yup. the "no compression issues" probably means intra . . . but could mean some form of RAW if we're extremely lucky.
  • fatpigfatpig
    if it has shot a cinema movie... like "max is back" - its gotta be more than 1080p, right? Im waiting for the dynamic range to be announced.. its really exciting
  • driftwooddriftwood
    5d mkIII in a new box, quad digics? INTRA (i'll bet) and AVC 2
  • B3GuyB3Guy
    RED just might be peeing their pants right now.

    arrgh, why are they not live streaming this event?! And why no specs yet?
  • fatpigfatpig
    me too. gosh i hope its affordable. or it will get smaller brother , like gh2 and af101
  • driftwooddriftwood
    looks interesting...
  • B3GuyB3Guy
    watching both. new lenses, new c300 camera.

    A lot smaller than I imagined in the handheld configuration.
  • B3GuyB3Guy
    "Cinema EOS" + "best optical equipment" = new lenses?
