The Canon ME20F-SH is a multi-purpose camera that’s capable of capturing images in the darkest conditions. Key features include:
2.26MP HD Full Frame 35mm CMOS sensor
Expandable sensitivity up to 4,000,000 ISO
External monitor/recorder required
Built-in ND and IR filters
High Sensitivity. Adjectives that could be used to describe this camera’s low-light capabilities include: ridiculous, incredible, stupendous, and mind-blowing. If seeing is believing, then the ME 20F SH will leave no doubt. With a top ISO of 4,000,000, you can capture images at 0.0005 LUX. Its full-frame 35mm sized sensor is just a mere 2.2 megapixels but with huge photosites, 7.5x larger than those found Canon’s standard DSLR sensors to be exact, for gathering massive amounts light.
Built-in IR Cut Filter. In addition to 1/8 and 1/64 ND Filters, the Canon ME20F SH features an IR Cut filter on its internal filter wheel. This allows you to use the IR cut filter just as you’d use the built-in ND filters.
Versatile Form Factor. The ME20 F-SH is another in the line of cameras that’s best described as “small boxes with lens mounts.” What this configuration may lack in out-of-box ergonomics, it more than makes up for with a high ceiling for mounting potential.
Pro Lensing Features. The Canon ME20F-SH features a locking EF mount, providing a stronger attachment to the camera than a standard EF mount. It also features a 12-pin lens terminal.
External Monitor/Recorder Required. Please note, this camera does not feature a menu interface, live view, or a recording solution. Click here for recommended monitors and recorders.
AC Powered. This rental is powered off of the AC adapter and does not include a dedicated battery solution. If you need a portable power solution, we recommend our Wooden Camera Power Kit for 4-pin XLR in gold or v-mount.
No. While its 2.2MP sensor allows for stunning low-light capture, the ME20F-SH is only able to output HD-resolution video.
No, this camera doesn’t have a built-in record function. You’ll need an external recorder.
