MASSIVE $5,000 price drop on a Canon cinema powerhouse as the EOS C500 Mark II is just $5,999

If you've been eyeing an upgrade to your video setup, this might just be the best deal of the year. The Canon EOS C500 Mark II, one of Canon’s most capable full-frame cinema cameras, is now available for just $5,999 at B&H Photo – a whopping $5,000 off its regular price of $10,999!

The C500 Mark II remains a top-tier cinema camera, trusted by many for commercial productions, independent films, and high-end documentary shoots.

Users continue to praise the native EF mount, which opens the door to an enormous range of Canon EF glass, from stills lenses to cinema primes and zooms. The mount itself is interchangeable in the field, offering further flexibility for those working with PL or locking EF setups.

The C500 Mark II's full-frame 5.9K CMOS sensor is a standout, capturing images with over 15 stops of dynamic range and enabling crop modes for Super 35 and Super 16 without sacrificing detail. The internal recording options are equally impressive, with support for Canon Cinema RAW Light and XF-AVC, all to dual CFexpress slots for a smooth, streamlined workflow.

At nearly half the original price, the C500 Mark II still has a lot to offer in 2025. Whether you're stepping into the full-frame cinema world for the first time or expanding your production toolkit, this is an unbeatable deal on a camera that continues to deliver stunning images and serious versatility.
