The Canon C100 is our best current camera. Lying at the entry level of Canons C (cinema) line of cameras, it offers better functionality and quality compared to our AC90 cameras and has all but replaced some of their functions. As such, the C100 is normally used on recorded events and short films. It can occasionally be found at OB events which require more angles than we have AC90s. A second C100 is also often used within YSTV which is a personal camera of one of the members. The C100 is a somewhat modular camera; with a tall form factored brain, detachable top handle and side grip.

The side of the camera body which does not contain the grip attachment houses the main control button array. Here, as is fairly usual of video cameras, the main use case buttons are found. The main ones of note which you should become familiar with are; the Zebra (highlighting areas of the frame which are over exposed), waveform which shows the colour signal form for the frame, ISO, Shutter angle and the ND filter wheel. The ISO and shutter angle can both be adjusted using the screen and a joystick on the side grip so the choice generally comes down to personal preference. Additionally, the power control is also on this side of the camera. The top handle contains the XLR input controls and these are also on this side of the camera.
The XLR inputs are on the opposite side of the handle as is a record button. The side grip also has a record start stop button as does the front bottom right of the camera brain. The back side of the camera holds the camera playback buttons for review of footage and the connections for HDMI out, headphones and so on. Behind the screen on the back of the camera are the 2 SD card slots which are accessible by a flap cover. Below this is the battery slot, with the battery release button being below the screw adaptor for the side grip. The C100 takes batteries marked with a piece of green and yellow tape.
