Over the past 10 months, the Company has introduced a total of three high-definition, high-performance Cinema EOS digital cinema cameras—the EOS C300 Digital Cinema Camera, the EOS C500 4K Digital Cinema Camera and the EOS C100 Digital Video Camera.

The Technology & Engineering Emmy Award will be presented on January 10, 2013, during the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
