Canon has introduced the Canon EOS C400 camera for movie makers, which is capable of capturing high-quality, low-light footage with a dynamic range of 16 stops, thanks to its latest 26.7MP, full-frame 35mm sensor. This sensor’s back-illuminated CMOS technology minimizes noise in images while allowing for quicker image processing, which means it can shoot in ISO up to 102,400 and achieve triple-base ISO settings of 800, 3200, and 12,800. The Canon EOS C400 is set to hit the market in September 2024, priced at $7,999.
