Global events have made it difficult to meet in person, so Canon is launching an innovative new virtual trade show. Canon Vision will enable viewers to explore the latest in video imaging technology within an interactive, immersive space.

Visitors usually flock to the Canon stand at September's International Broadcasting Convention (IBC), but in the absence of a physical show this year, Canon has created an online event to showcase its full Canon Pro AV line-up, including the latest Cinema EOS cameras, 4K display monitors and the full suite of lenses.

After an introductory presentation and a quick registration process, you will be able to enter the virtual trade show and explore the stand. Immersive displays and dynamic demonstrations will enable you to learn more about the latest cinema and broadcast technology. Filmmaking pros will also be sharing their experiences and offering their thoughts on the future of the industry.

Here are seven things you really won't want to miss at the Canon Vision virtual trade show.

2. Explore the Canon Cinema EOS line-up in the Cinema Zone

Be one of the first to explore Canon’s new cinema camera, launching live at Canon Vision, with product introductions from product specialists and Q&As with filmmakers, while Canon’s full line-up of Cinema EOS cameras will also be on display in the Cinema Zone. From the Canon EOS C500 Mark II through to the Canon EOS C200 and Canon EOS C700 FF, hear from product experts about how these cameras harness Canon's famous colour science for unparalleled cinematic results.

This is also where you can explore the latest additions to the range. The Canon EOS C300 Mark III is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature Canon’s DGO sensor with 16+ stops of dynamic range, making it ideal for an HDR workflow. The Canon EOS C300 Mark III shares the same body and many features with the full-frame Canon EOS C500 Mark II – check out both models and see high-resolution footage captured on each, with high-end recording codecs and cinematic picture quality.

The Cinema Zone also houses the complete line-up of EF lenses and the cinematic Sumire Prime range. Fitted with a PL-mount as standard but convertible to an EF mount if required, these lenses are designed for cinematographers seeking a unique 'retro' look. All exhibit delicate rendering, natural warm colour with pleasing skin tones, smooth roll-off in the highlights and soft bokeh.

3. Hear from DoPs in live Q&As and explore the Screening and Streaming Zone

You've seen the latest kit, now hear from the pros using it. In the Screening and Streaming Zones, a range of filmmakers will be opening their kitbags and sharing their shoot stories.

4. Find the XF and XA camcorders in the Pro Video Zone

Discover the range of XF and XA professional camcorders in the Pro Video Zone. Designed for broadcast, and with documentary and commercial productions in mind, the XF range – including the XF705 and the XF405 – performs exceptionally well across a wide range of conditions. All cameras feature exceptional image quality, long zoom ranges, rugged build and long battery.

Hear from product specialists about the XF705's stunning 4K UHD image quality at up to 50p, and the 1-inch CMOS sensor, which delivers exceptional low-light performance. The XF705 is the first Canon camcorder to adopt the H.265/HEVC codec for improved file handling with 4K workflows. The more-affordable XF405 shares many of the same features but has a lighter, more compact body.

The five cameras in the ultra-compact XA range will also be exhibited, from the high-end 4K UHD XA55 and XA50 models through to the Full HD XA11. They're ideal for single shooters and combine extreme portability with high image quality and incredible low-light performance.

7. See how 4K professional monitors fit into your workflow

Canon’s 4K professional reference displays are suitable for live filming and post-production set-ups, with models ranging from a rugged 17-inch model with an aluminium chassis to the flagship 31-inch 4K HDR display.
