The EOS C500 is a digital cinema camera released by Canon in August 2012. The camera is offered with the option of Canon EF or Arri PL mounts. As of 2017, the camera has dropped significantly in price.[1]
The Canon EOS C500 is Canon's second camera to form part of the Canon Cinema EOS line, complementing the previous Canon EOS C300. Notable new features compared to the previous camera are the addition of 4K and QHD motion video capture to the previous HD capture of the C300 and the ability of the C500 to record raw motion video to the Motion RAW format as well as raw still video to Still RAW format.
The camera has been known to have a fan noise issue that was met with a firmware update in 2014.[2]
