The Canon C200 is a compact camcorder that utilizes the same basic sensor as their flagship Super35 digital cinema camera, the C700. One of the C200's most striking features is the ability to record 4K RAW files in Canon's new Cinema RAW Light format to an internal CFast card. Cinema RAW Light is a lightly compressed RAW video format that maximizes recording time while giving up very little file quality in comparison to "full fat" RAW.

Schneider has pushed ND filter technology forward with their line of Full Spectrum ND filters. As the name implies, these ND filters take into account the full spectrum of possible IR contamination.

It's a wrap! As NAB 2018 was winding down I took part in a panel discussion with Jem Schofield of theC47.com, who you may recognize as an AbelCine blog contributor and instructor, as well as Erik Naso and Matt Allard from Newsshooter, our partner for NAB 2018 coverage.

In this video I take a closer look at the ZEISS CP.3, CP.3 XD, and Cinema Zooms and go over some of the key technical specifications as well as the look of these full format lenses.
