Canon announced the new “ME20F-SH”. A Cube form camera with EF mount and no mirror and no EVF. Canon says the camera “delivers exceptionally high sensitivity to capture Full HD video with a minimum subject illumination of less than 0.0005 lux“. This means it records in the dark at up to 4 million ISO! Take that Sony A7s :)

The camera main use will be in the surveillance market but also in cinema and tv production where you absolutely need those crazy ISO’s.

The camera uses a Full Frame 2,26 MP sensor and will cost $30,000 when it ships in December. Here are the full specs:
