Canon has added to its range of 4K broadcast lenses with the launch of the CJ20ex5B.

The 2-in-1 UHDxs-class lens has a 20x zoom range and 5mm wide-angle - making it suitable for a wide range of broadcast applications such as studio filming, sports production, documentary shooting and news gathering.

The CJ20ex5B is equipped with a 16-bit absolute value encoder that can read out highly accurate positional information of each lens settings - zoom focus and iris without initialising the lens. According to Canon, its 3 x 20pin connectors enables the lens to read out such information even when using the zoom and focus controllers at the same time.

The CJ20ex5B's key features include:

UHDxs class 4K optical quality

Hybrid Concept wide & telephoto

5.0-100mm focal length (10 -200mm with optical extender)

f/1.8 f/2.95 maximum aperture

Built-in 2x extender

Enhanced digital drive unit

Virtual systems compatibility via 16-bit encoder

Canon has also announced the launch of the EOS C70 which it is aiming at those working in documentaries, news gathering and social media as it includes vertical shooting capability.

The camera offers multiple recording formats to SD cards - including 4K up to 120 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit in XF-AVC (All-I or Long-GOP), and MP4 in HEVC (H.265) or H.264.

The camera has launched alongside the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x - an EF Lens to RF Mount which enables filmmakers to use the entire EF lens line-up with the EOS C70.

EOS C70 Key Features:

The Cinema EOS C70 uses Canon's new 4K Super 35mm DGO sensor with HDR capabilities
