Canon Releases 4k DSLR Hybrid

Canon’s new EOS-1DC is shipping. At $12k it aint cheap but it shoots both 4k and Uncompressed 1080 (up to 60p!).

Nofilmschool.com has this write up on the new Canon 1DC.

Some specs from B&H:

Designed specifically for the unique demands of the motion picture industry, the EOS-1D C Camera from Canon is a breakthrough in hybrid HDSLR technology–able to record stills, 4K and Full HD video, to either two on-board CF cards or uncompressed Full HD to outboard recorders.

The EOS-1D C is capable of recording Full HD (1920 x 1080) content to on-board CF cards with a choice of frame rates (24p, 25p, 30p, 50p and 60p), in two distinct fields of view (Full-Frame HD and Super 35mm Crop). Both are recorded as 8-bit 4:2:0 H.264 based Full HD video, and can be recorded at a number of frame rates all the way up to 60 progressive frames per second (which requires no up scaling in post when dropped into a 1920 x 1080 timeline).

NOTE: B&H has a special note “Not Returnable” so I guess no “test” shoots with this one yet until the right project comes up.
