Canon C100

Canon has just added the C100 as the little brother to the C300 and C500.



Just so you can try to keep them straight, the top of the line C500 can output 12 bit, 4:4:4 MXF codec or full RAW to an external recorder for $30,000 while the C300 is a 2K 50mbps MXF 4:2:2 to internal CF cards, has EF and PL versions, and has both HDMI and SDI for $16,000.

The C100 is a 24mbps up to 30p AVCHD MPEG-4, 4:2:0, competing with the Sony FS700/Panasonic AF100.  It has the same sensor as the C300 but is 15% smaller, will only come with an EF mount and has no SDI out.

But it can output uncompressed digital HD to an external recorder (whatever than means) and only cost  $8000.  Street price will probably be $6700.
