Canon is adding more glass to its already impressive line-up of broadcast lenses by announcing earlier today the CJ12ex4.3B, a new 2/3” portable 4K zoom lens with the world’s widest focal length – an incredible 4.3mm, designed for professionals shooting interviews or live broadcast, including sport and news.

Canon just introduced a very unique camera. The new ME20F-SH is a cube shaped multi-purpose camera, with a full-frame 35mm sensor, capable of delivering exceptionally high sensitivity to capture Full HD 1080p video with a maximum ISO sensitivity of over 4,000,000!

With 4K cameras becoming more and more popular, the lenses you put in front of the sensor become even more important as to render sharp and life-like images. Canon has some amazing 4K technology already like the Canon EOS C500 and the newer XC10 4K hybrid camera, and with the upcoming Canon C300 Mark II it's a good idea to look at some facts about 4K optics.

Recently, Canon Professional, released a behind the scenes video of Director/Cinematographer Matthew Heineman who takes us behind the scenes at the making of Cartel Land, a documentary de-glamorizing the Mexican drug trade. The production used a Canon C300 as main camera, and the EOS-1D C for aerials.

After a long wait, the much anticipated successor the highly popular broadcast industry workhorse the C300, today Canon officially announced the C300 Mark II. The new camera from Canon features 4K internal recording in a newly developed 4K 10bit 4:2:2 codec called XF-AVC capable of bit rates of up to 410Mb/s.
