Canon U.S.A. exhibits imaging solutions at 2010 NAB Show in Las Vegas

Included in the Canon U.S.A. exhibit are HD broadcast lenses and robotic HD cameras, the new Canon XF305 and XF300 professional tapeless HD camcorders, the popular EOS 5D Mark II with 24p HD video capture, the REALiS SX7 Mark II multimedia LCOS projector, a large-format imagePROGRAF printer, and other Canon imaging products.

Over the past year, Canon’s EOS HD Video technology has changed the way users capture 1080p HD video and opened new doors for multimedia journalists and Hollywood cinematographers alike with full manual exposure control, selectable frame rates, and interchangeable lenses on some of the largest and most sensitive image sensors on the market.

Now capable of 24p (23.976 fps) and 30p (29.97 fps) image capture (with a free download of Canon Firmware version 2.0.4), the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR provides cinematographers and videographers with a versatile HD camera designed for creative, high-quality production work. Featuring a 21.1-megapixel full-frame 24 x 36mm CMOS sensor for 1920 x 1080 HD resolution capture, the Canon EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR delivers a sensitivity range from ISO 50 to ISO 25600, superb low-light performance, excellent color reproduction, a shallow depth-of-field, and spectacular HD image quality. Canon’s NAB exhibit will highlight additional new EOS 5D Mark II capabilities provided by Firmware version 2.0.4.

The new EOS-1D Mark IV Digital SLR features Full HD capture and full manual exposure control, plus selectable frame rates on an all-new APS-H-sized image sensor that’s similar in size to a Super 35mm motion picture film frame. The Canon EOS-1D Mark IV allows for three video recording resolutions – 1080p Full HD and 720p HD and Standard Definition. The camera will record Full HD at 1920 x 1080 in selectable frame rates of 24p (23.976), 25p, or 30p (29.97); and 720p HD or SD video recording at either 50p or 60p (59.94).

Also on display will be the Canon EOS 7D digital SLR featuring Full HD video capture at 1920 x 1080 resolution with selectable frame rates of 24p, 25p or 30p.
