The Canon C500 has been built on the foundation of Canon's popular EOS C300 camera. Sharing the same impressive sensor as the C300, the C500 adds outputs for 10 or 12-bit HD and 2K (2048x1080) video, as well as 4K (both DCI and Quad-HD) RAW output. Available in PL and EOS (EF) mounts, the modular nature and size of the C500 means the camera can live in many configurations - from the fully decked out studio camera to a lightweight run-&-gun setup. In this article, we present the many different lenses and accessories that can be used with the camera.
