From more than one source I've hear talk of a higher-end version of the C300 coming around NAB and priced around 30k. I wonder if this will be announced at their "The Story Continues" event at NAB? I was under the impression that it was only a screening, but Canon has proved that they can be quite tight-lipped about these releases, so who knows...

There's also talk of a lower-end camera being released in the 8k range. I've seen the terms "C100" and "C500" thrown around, but we'll see..
My guess is that the lower-end one will be a fixed lens version of the C300, similar to the XF100/XF300. The higher end one - similar to C300 but with 4k recording from an 8k chip, using "EOSRAW" - another term I've been hearing. Awhile ago Canon filed a patent for a more efficient way of recording 4k, so obviously its in the works.
While the lower will probably be priced around 8k, imagine how pleased all the DSLR users would be if Canon can manage a 5k street price!

This just in... via EOSHD (direct quote):
Canon will release a C500 for $25,000.
This is designed to be an Epic killer.
It is 4K at 120fps with EOS RAW via 3G HD-SDI. Officially certified raw recording deck solutions are being provided by Blackmagic and AJA.
At 60 fps EOS RAW from the C500 is 12 bit. This drops to a still impressive 10 bit at 120p.
The C500 also pumps out 1080p, 2K and Quad HD.
And now for the 4K DSLR…
Costing $10k. This does ALL-I, IPB and MJPEG 4K.
Both the C500 and 4K EOS DSLR have log profiles.
Another feature is that it has a Super 35mm crop mode (like the D800 with DX crop mode) for compatibility with cinema lenses.
There’s also going to be 2 new zooms. Lightweight 2kg PL and EF mount cinema lenses. The first is a 15.5-47mm T2.2 and the second a 30-105mm T2.2. These are pricey cinema lenses at the $15,000 mark.
