Kept well under covers and finally now surfacing are the twin Canon cameras called the Canon C300 and the Canon C300 PL.

Great info and intel comes via DVinfo

The rest of the Cinema EOS system includes Canon’s own high-end cinema zoom lenses… first their two zooms, the PL-mount versions of which were previously announced and exhibited earlier this year back in April at NAB2010. All resolve to 4K:

•Canon Zoom Lens CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L S (wide zoom, EF version)
•Canon Zoom Lens CN-E14.5-60mm T2.6 L SP (wide zoom, PL version)

•Canon Zoom Lens CN-E30-300mm T2.95-3.7 L SP (telephoto zoom, PL version)
And three yet-to-be-released primes, all resolve to 4K but all are EF-mount only:
•Canon Prime Lens CTZ-029 (24mm)
•Canon Prime Lens CTZ-030 (50mm)
•Canon Prime Lens CTZ-031 (85mm)
