Making digital look analog. Flares, low contrast, and coloured lens elements create a very special look for standard camera's. Available with a green or a blue tint, with more options coming soon.

The EOS C500 offers a Super 35mm, 8.85-megapixel CMOS image sensor and a range of recording and output options specifically for 4K, 2K and HD image acquisition. It is available with either PL- or EF- mount options.

The EOS C500 features Canon RAW output for both 4K and 2K recording. The Canon RAW output is delivered to external recording systems (Codex) via built-in dual 3G-SDI ports. Dual HD-SDI out ports supports external live monitoring. HD content can be written to dual onboard CF cards.

External recording options include:
4096x2160 / 60p / 10bit RAW
4096x1080 / 120p / 10bit RAW
2048x1080 / 60p / 12bit RGB 4:4:4

The C500 can record 1920 x1080 / 60p / 8bit 50Mbps 4:2:2 onboard.

Camalot visited the bi-annual Cinec tradefair, held in Munich, Germany, from 22-24 September 2012.

There were many interesting things to see, but of special note are the new Leica Summilux-C lenses (16mm, 29mm, 65mm) that will soon be joining our set, the Service Vision Scorpio Anamorphics, the Zeiss Compact Zooms (28-80 and 70-200), the Fujinon Cabrio Zooms (19-90 and 80-300) and a new portable dolly system.

The first European Sony F65RS - Only at Camalot

The Sony F65RS is a top-end digital cinema camera which uses a 20 million pixel 8K super-35 sensor.
By using an 8K CMOS sensor which outputs 4K, 2K or 1080p Sony was able to re-invent the Bayer pattern.
This results in true 4K resolution without the need for interpolation.
The camera has a mechanical shutter (besides the electronic shutter) which eliminates rolling shutter artifacts.

Important features:
* 8K sensor
* 14 stops dynamic range
* maximum of 60 fps on 4K and 120fps on 2K
* 16 bit linear RAW file recording
* 4 built-in ND's
* First camera using the IIF ACES workflow
* Wifi operation for remote operation through iPad or Android tablets

The ALEXA Studio is a 35mm digital camera featuring a quiet, adjustable mirror shutter and an optical viewfinder that provides a real-time, high contrast image with true colours. Another key feature of the ALEXA Studio is its 4:3 sensor, which makes it the only digital camera (aside from the ARRIFLEX D-21) to boast true anamorphic capability. Combined with the Codex Onboard Recorder, the Studio is capable of shooting 2880 x 2160 in ARRIRAW. Other resolutions include: 1920 x 1080 16:9 up to 120 fps and 1440 x 1080 4:3 up to 48 fps.

Oboard recording options include QuickTime/ProRes 4444/12bit or 422/10bit and (coming soon) Avid DNxHD 12bit.

Great options to rent with our ALEXA Studio include the Codex Digital Onboard Recorder and our Elite Anamorphic Lenses. Please send your inquiries for a detailed quote.

Camalot is proud to receive a groundbreaking new line of PL mount primes designed to deliver ultra-high optical performance for film and digital capture. The set of T1.4 lenses employ a unique multi-aspheric design and high-precision cine lens mechanics to provide unmatched flat field illumination across the entire 35mm frame and suppression of color fringing in the farthest corners of the frame with no discernable breathing.

All Leica Summilux-C lenses share a uniform length, 95mm lens front, advanced focus scales, and similar location of focus and iris rings.
The mount and lens barrel are manufactured from high-strength titanium. Leica Summilux-C lenses weigh around 1.7kg.
Our set will initially consist of the 18, 21, 25, 35, 40, 75, 50, 100mm, with the 16, 65 and 135mm expected soon.
A second set has been ordered in order to provide these exceptional lenses for 3D shoots.

 

Another new tool for filmmaking.

After the huge and unexpected success of the EOS 7D & 5D Mark II in the video market, Canon decided to combine the forces of their photo- and video- divisions. The result is the EOS C300 which uses an EF mount and the C300PL which uses a PL mount.

The C300 has a new Super 35mm size CMOS sensor which uses 3840 x 2160 photosites and that delivers full bandwidth RGB components without the need for debayering, which is normal when using CMOS sensors. The signal to noise ratio is very low and the dynamic range is 12 stops when using the Canon log gamma. The nominal ISO value when using Canon log is 850 and the maximum ISO value is 16000. The C300 sensor has a much faster read-out which minimizes the rolling shutter and moiré artifacts typical for the 7D & 5D mark II.

The camera uses a 50Mb/s 4:2:2 8bit codec and is capable of recording 25 frames per second at 1920x1080p or up to 50fps at 1280x720p.
The menu system is very intuitive and the camera has the industry standard HDSDI output, timecode in/out and is capable of recording two balanced audio channels.

Replacing our Weisscam HS-1, the new WEISSCAM HS-2 has a full Format Super35 CMOS Sensor with 600 ASA sensitivity. Capable of shooting 1.500fps in 2K, 2.000fps in 1080p and 4.000fps in 720p.

The RAW Signal outputs 12 bit uncompressed WEISSCAM RAW and the HD Signal outputs 10 bit YCbCr 4:2:2.

When shooting 2000fps @ 1080p you can record up to 6 seconds on the 32GB internal RAM, which translates to 8 minutes of footage.

Camalot is the first European Rental House to receive the Epic-M.
We now have three Epic-M cameras available, with five Epic-X bodies getting ready for prime-time.

The Epic is the new 5K Digital Cinema camera from Red.
