5.9K full-frame CMOS sensor: This sensor provides a large image area that captures more detail and depth than smaller sensors. It also has a wide dynamic range, which means it can capture a greater range of brightness levels in a single shot.

Internal 5.9K Cinema RAW Light recording: This format allows you to capture uncompressed 5.9K footage with minimal data compression. This gives you more flexibility in post-production, as you can adjust the image without losing quality.

Dual CFexpress slots: These slots allow you to record footage to two CFexpress cards simultaneously. This is useful for backup purposes, as well as for recording longer clips without having to worry about running out of space.

Pioneering Dual Pixel CMOS AF Technology: This technology uses the camera’s image sensor to provide smooth and accurate autofocus. It is especially effective for tracking moving subjects.

Smooth, intuitive touch focus operation: The C500 II’s new 4.3-inch LCD monitor makes it easy to touch-focus the camera. This is a great feature for handheld shooting, as it allows you to quickly and easily adjust the focus without having to take your eye away from the viewfinder.

Improved focus control: The C500 II’s focus control has been improved over the previous model. This makes it easier to achieve smooth and natural focus pulls.

12G-SDI terminal: This terminal allows you to output 4K footage over a single cable. This is a great feature for use in live production or for connecting the camera to a high-resolution monitor.

DIGIC DV7 image processor: This processor powers the C500 II’s advanced features, such as its high-speed recording and its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system.

Built-in ND filters: The C500 II has two built-in ND filters that can be used to control the exposure of your footage. This is a great feature for shooting in bright conditions or for achieving specific creative effects.

Weather-sealed body: The C500 II’s body is weather-sealed, making it possible to use the camera in challenging conditions. This is a great feature for filmmakers who need to shoot in outdoor environments.
