Global Critique

Triple base ISO is the most exciting sensor innovation in cinema cameras this year. The C400 is clean at 12,800 in ways that seem impossible.

CineD

Canon's interchangeable mount system gives the C400 a flexibility advantage that no other camera in its class can match.

B&H Explora

The C400 is Canon's answer to the Sony FX6 — and in many ways, it surpasses it. Triple base ISO alone is worth the price premium.
