Canon C500 Mark II 5.9K Kit
Canon really listened to the feedback of the C500 MK I and implemented some amazing upgrades to the C500 MK II. The C500 MK II is a full-frame camera capable of shooting in 6K raw. With dual native ISOs, the C500 MK II can also hold its own in low-light conditions. This camera features an impressive face-tracking auto-focus -- perfect for small-crew interview work or run-and-gun B-roll.
