The Canon EOS C300 Mark III is a Super35 cinema camera built around Canon's 4K Dual Gain Output (DGO) sensor, which reads each photosite at two levels and combines them for 16+ stops of dynamic range with low noise. That sensor, paired with the DIGIC DV7 processor and Canon Log 2, gives the C300 Mark III a high-end image in a compact, modular EOS body, which is why it is a common choice for commercials, documentary, and episodic work.
It records DCI 4K in Cinema RAW Light and XF-AVC to dual CFexpress Type B cards, with 4K up to 120 fps and a 2K crop up to 180 fps for slow motion. Exposure is helped by a built-in ND that extends to 10 stops and a wide ISO range to 102,400, and the DIGIC DV7 processor brings back Dual Pixel CMOS AF for reliable autofocus, a real advantage over the manual-focus original C300. The interchangeable lens mount ships as EF and can be swapped to PL for cine glass, and professional connectivity includes 12G-SDI, HDMI, timecode, and genlock for multi-camera and monitoring setups, with four channels of audio through two XLR inputs. In use it sits between Canon's compact cinema line and larger production cameras, offering a full cinema image with autofocus in a body a single operator can still manage.
As rented, the production kit is a complete build ready for first unit. It ships in an SKB case with the camera and its LM-V2 touchscreen monitor, both EF and PL mounts, a Shape cage with top handle, viewfinder mount, and baseplate, a hand grip and mic-holder unit, and an ARRI-standard bridge plate with a 12-inch dovetail and 15mm rods for balancing cine lenses. Media and power are covered by two 512GB CFexpress Type B cards with a reader, Canon BP-A30 batteries with a charger, a gold-mount battery plate, four Core SWX 98Wh gold-mount batteries with a quad charger, and the necessary power adapters and cables. A 15mm lens support with both 12-inch and 4-inch rods handles heavier cine primes, a dedicated CFexpress reader offloads cards quickly between setups, and the ARRI-standard bridge plate and dovetail let the camera move between tripod, shoulder, and studio configurations, so it arrives fully rigged and powered for a first-unit day.
