The Canon EOS-1D C is a professional DSLR built specifically for cinematographers, sharing its 18.1-megapixel full-frame sensor and rugged magnesium-alloy body with the EOS-1D X. What sets it apart is internal 4K video recording (4096×2160 at up to 24p) in Motion JPEG format, alongside Full HD recording at up to 60p, making it one of the first DSLRs capable of true cinema-grade 4K capture. Its 61-point autofocus system, dual DIGIC 5+ processors, and weather-sealed build make it equally capable for high-speed stills, while its compatibility with Canon's full EF lens lineup gives cinematographers access to a vast range of glass.
