Canon has added two new flagship models to its Cinema EOS range, the Canon EOS C700 (EF/PL) and EOS C700 GS PL, both of which record 4K video at high frame rates. The Canon EOS C700 cameras can capture internal slow motion 4K video footage at frame rates of up to 59.94P/50P, and in their crop sensor mode can record 2K video footage at up to 200p/240p. The new Canon cinema cameras can also record 4K RAW up to 100P/120P using the optional dockable Codex[i] RAW recorder. The Canon cameras can record 4K DCI or 4K UHD up to 810Mbps, and both models employ a Canon Super 35mm CMOS sensor with a maximum pixel count of 4.5K  (EOS C700 GS PL at 4.2K). The EOS C700 cameras both promise versatility in low light, offering a high ISO of up to 102,400, as well as built-in ND filters offering up to 10-stops of control.
