Canon C500 Price Has Dropped to $10,000. Is An 8K Mark II Camera Coming?

The Canon C500 price has been steadily inching downward, but today we got a huge price drop.

The flagship cinema camera from Canon has been cut to $10,000 for both EF and PL mount versions (thanks to Erik Naso for the heads-up). It may still seem like a lot, but back in January of last year the price was around $16,000, so this is a pretty big reduction. It's worth noting that the $7,000 C300 and C500 are essentially the same camera, and both record to 1080p 50Mbps internally, but the C500 can shoot 4K RAW if you have an external recorder like the Odyssey7Q, pictured above.

Speaking of the Odyssey, there are bundles with that recorder now that go for just $12,000, which include the C500 RAW license.

Here's a look at all of the C500 models and bundles available:
