Compatibility with Third-Party Accessories

Compact Modular Design

The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL are surprisingly small (5.24" x 6.73" x 7.05") and easily hand-held at just over 3 lbs. They have a bright 1.55 megapixel electronic viewfinder and come bundled with a removable combination 4" 1.23 megapixel monitor and control panel. They also have a rotatable and

removable hand grip with a control dial and function buttons for hand-held shooting in DSLR style – or remove it and use the supplied thumb rest for completely stripped-down shooting. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL have a manually-operated built-in Neutral

Rugged, Durable and Quiet

The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL’s dust-proof and splash- proof design includes sealing gaskets around the edges of all access covers, dials fitted with o-rings on the axis of rotation, and button key-tops sealed with rubber. The EOS C300 and EOS C300 PL also feature a built-in silent cooling system with a heat-dissipating duct in the center of the body, a graphite sheet that conducts sensor heat towards the heat sink, three ventilation holes and a cooling fan that pulls hot air out through an exhaust opening. All air is directed through a discrete pathway that keeps dust particles away from sensitive components. Your camera runs cool, quiet and clean.
