The Canon C100 is a camera that was bought with much of the remaining grant money in the 2016-17 in YSTV. It 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 top handle is connected by a fairly secure thread into the cold shoe of the brain, please ensure that it is tight before use and remains tight during use for the safety of the camera (and thus the safety of you :). For the same reason, ensure the top handle audio comp cable is lined up correctly with the port on the camera brain before attaching since the pins inside it are very delicate and damaged easily which is expensive to fix.

The C100 has been used on just about every single YSTV report, short film and misc scripted work since it's purchase as well as many live streams. It is normally paired with either the shoulder rig or a borrowed DJI Ronin for events and has taken several hits from various balls in its tenure so far.
== Trivia ==
* It has been said that Edwin Barnes[https://wiki.ystv.co.uk/wiki/Edwin_Barnes] has an unhealthy relationship with this camera, one of absolute adoration. These stories are very much true he would protect it with his life.
* The camera was named Wheatley, referring to its uncanny resemblance to the AI from video game franchise Portal.
