Canon China President, Mr. Hideki Ozawa, demonstrated a 4K camera on stage with actor Jackie Chan in China recently. The camera appears to resemble a DSLR model with a 10x optical 8.9-89mm f/2.8-5.6 zoom capability. It comes with an EVF, rear LCD screen and apparently has a 1 inch CMOS sensor plus built-in WiFi. This camera could also be Canon's first attempt to enter the nascent drone market with removable parts for mounting. We will know more about this 4K consumer camera to be announced at the NAB 2015 Show in Las Vegas soon.

The NAB 2015 Show takes place in Las Vegas, April 2015. Canon is planning an aggressive announcement schedule. Leading the charge will be the Cinema EOS-C300 Mk II camera. It will be quite an improvement over the Mk I with a higher list price to match and should easily surpass the Sony FS7 model. In the last couple of years, Canon has invested a lot in their cinema line of cameras and lens, including opening up dedicated service centers specifically catered to the film making and video industries.

The Cinema EOS C500 Mk II camera is not ready yet and may get a product development announcement or mention at the show. Both cameras are expected to have 4K capability. In addition, Canon may announce a consumer grade 4K video camera to give Sony and Panasonic a run for their money with their respective AX100 and GH4 models. Keep checking back for the latest NAB 2015 news and development.
