CANON CINEMA EOS
Canon Cinema EOS camera financing and leasing
A Cinema EOS body is the part everyone can name. The package that earns the day rate is the body plus the RF or EF cinema glass, the monitor, the wireless video, the batteries, the media and the case it all travels in. Finance the working kit as one lease and put the first job's invoice toward the payment instead of the purchase.

Why lease it
01
Glass is most of the money
A C400 body costs less than the set of cinema primes that goes in front of it. Financing the body alone leaves you renting the glass job after job. One lease covers the body, the lenses, the support and the monitoring, so the kit goes to work complete.
02
Refresh on Canon's cycle, not the bank's
Canon replaces its cinema line every few years and rental clients ask for the newest body by name. A fair market value lease lets you return the camera at the end of the term and step into the next generation without selling the old one first.
03
Deduct the kit the year it ships
Cameras, lenses and monitors are Section 179 property. Buy with a $1 buyout or an equipment finance agreement and the whole package can be expensed in the year it goes into service, subject to your own tax position and your CPA's advice.

Questions producers ask before financing a Cinema EOS kit
Can I finance a Canon C400 or C80 with the lenses?
Yes. Canon Cinema EOS financing from American Capital Group covers the camera body and the cinema lenses, monitors, wireless video, media and support that go with it on one lease. Most kits are approved on an application alone, with no financial statements up to $150,000.
How much does it cost to lease a Canon cinema camera?
The payment depends on the total kit cost, the term and the end of term option you choose. A C80 body with two lenses is a very different lease from a C400 with a CINE-SERVO zoom set, so quote the actual package with the form on this page and we return real numbers, usually the same business day.
Can a new production company lease Canon Cinema EOS equipment?
Yes. A freelance DP, a one-person production company or a rental house adding Canon to its shelf can all apply. Time in business and personal credit both count, and the equipment itself is the collateral, so a new company is not asked to pledge the building.
Is it better to lease or buy a Cinema EOS camera?
Buy with a $1 buyout lease or equipment finance agreement if you will keep the camera past the term and want the Section 179 deduction. Lease on a fair market value term if you want the lowest payment and expect to hand the body back when Canon ships the next generation. Both are on the same application.
