The Canon EOS C100 Mark II Cinema EOS Camera with EF-S 18-135mm USM Lens combines the compact 1080p EOS C100 Mark II camera with a versatile zoom lens that covers wide to telephoto focal lengths on the camera 's Super 35mm-sized CMOS image sensor. The EOS C100 Mark II is an updated version of the C100 that incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology that enables continuous autofocusing with compatible Canon lenses. This provides faster and more accurate autofocusing to assist users when operating with small crews.

In addition to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the Mark II adds a variety of upgraded features including face detection AF, MP4 recording, additional frame rates when recording in AVCHD, and slow & fast motion options when recording in MP4. The Mark II also features an additional microphone on the camera body for recording sound when the top handle is removed. It incorporates a 3.5 " OLED display with increased resolution, and the EVF is now almost twice as large as on the original C100 and is tiltable. The Mark II supports GPS and features built-in wireless functionality. The HDMI output supports timecode, as does the original C100, but it also supports Canon Log LUT.

The EOS C100 Mark II uses the same Super 35mm Canon CMOS sensor as its big brother, the C300, but uses a Digic DV 4 processor. With an EF lens mount, the camera is compatible with the full range of Canon EF, EF-S, and EF Cinema lenses. This is particularly useful for DSLR shooters who have already invested in Canon lenses. The camera uses the AVCHD codec to record 1080p video up to 24 Mbps. It supports dual SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards which, thanks to the efficient AVCHD codec, allows you to record nearly three hours of HD video on a single 32GB card. For professional applications, you can also record clean, uncompressed 4:2:2 video with embedded timecode via the HDMI output.

The ergonomic design of the EOS C100 Mark II is streamlined to support one-person shoots. Weighing only 2.2 pounds in its basic configuration, the camera 's flexible modular design supports a variety of shooting styles. Additional features such as One-Shot AF and Push Auto Iris allow operators to spend less time checking camera settings and more time capturing cinematic footage.

The Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM Lens offers an extensive focal range from wide angle to telephoto. The lenses focus mechanism offers quiet and smooth autofocus and is fully compatible with the EOS C100 's Dual Pixel CMOS AF for continuous autofocusing. The lens also provides optical image stabilization to help reduce the effects of camera shake. Used together, the EOS C100 Mark II with 18-135mm lens is ideal for event videographers, documentarians, and independent filmmakers working with small crews or run-and-gun shooting situations.
