Canon sneaks in another new camera, a cinema DSLR that shoots 4K video

As if the C300 announcement wasn’t enough, Canon also showed off a new concept DSLR which is capable of shooting 4K video.

Canon Inc. today announced that the company is developing a new-concept EOS-series digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Incorporating an enhanced version of the video-capture capability offered in the current EOS-series lineup, the new camera will be ideally suited for cinematographic and other digital high-resolution production applications. The model will be equipped with a 35 mm full-frame CMOS sensor and, enabling the recording of 4K video* (at a frame rate of 24P, with Motion-JPEG compression), will make possible the type of exceptional image quality and sublime imaging expression to be expected from the next generation of “EOS Movies.”

Availability has not been announced and no word on whether this will be an affordable option or be priced above the 1D X.
