Super35 CMOS sensor and Dual Pixel Autofocus are two features of the Canon EOS C200B EF Cinema Camera. The EOS C200B’s EF lens mount allows for compatibility with Canon’s series of EF-mount CN-E cinema prime and zoom lenses in addition to their extensive selection of DSLR lenses now in use. Canon’s Dual DIGIC DV 6 image processor works in tandem with the Super35 sensor to provide up to DCI 4K resolution recording and capturing.
Through its lone CFast card slot, the C200B can also record Canon’s Cinema RAW Light internally. Additionally, the camera features two SD card slots for UHD 4K/HD MP4 video recording. Please be aware that the C200B does not ship with an EVF and cannot later be upgraded to include one. The camera’s SDI output allows you to output video, while the integrated XLR connections offer two channels of audio at line, mic, and mic+48V levels. Input/output control is provided using a built-in Ethernet port.

Super35 CMOS Sensor from Canon
The Canon CMOS sensor, which is based on the Super35 motion picture film standard, has an active image size of 24.4 x 13.5mm. It supports Full HD (1080p), Ultra HD (3840 x 2160), and Cine 4K with a resolution of 4096 x 2160. (1920 x 1080).
dual-pixel CMOS autofocus
uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology to offer continuous AF (Autofocus) features for all autofocus lenses. You can now modify the image framing while maintaining the correct focus thanks to a new AF Lock setting. Users who frequently work with smaller crews, photograph moving objects or prefer smoother, more natural-looking autofocus will find this option to be excellent.
The CMOS sensor used in dual-pixel CMOS AF technology has an array of pixels with two independent photodiodes in each pixel. Phase-difference autofocus helps to prevent blurry shots and smooth focus transitions even when the talent or camera is moving by continuously comparing their outputs while in AF mode. With some Canon EF lenses, notably the more recent STM lenses, which enable even smoother and quieter performance, the new function prioritizes keeping sharp focus while delivering a natural, smooth autofocus movement.
ISO range, dynamic range
The dynamic range of the C200B is about 13 stops, and its ISO sensitivity ranges from 160 to 25,600. Additionally, an increased ISO range of 100 to 102,400 is available. Wide DR Gamma, Canon Log, and Canon Log 3 are supported.
Canon DIGIC DV 6 Image Processor in Dual
To conduct internal data processing, the camera has two Dual DIGIC DV 6 processors.
No EVF
Despite the fact that external third-party EVFs are readily accessible, the EOS C200B does not come with an EVF and you cannot afterward add a Canon EVF to the camera body.
Detailed Audio Controls
Two XLR audio inputs with +48V phantom power are physically incorporated into the C200B, and the camera also includes a 3.5mm microphone terminal. For high-fidelity sound, audio is recorded uncompressed in 16-bit PCM format at 48 kHz. Gain control options include automatic and manual for the mic terminal, both XLR inputs and both.
Camera RAW Light for Canon
The camera’s lone CFast card slot can be used with this codec to record raw data internally to a CFast 2.0 card. DCI 4K footage can be recorded in Canon’s Cinema RAW Light format via the CFast card slot.
