Uncompressed video file from a digital Camera

<p>I have to buy digital cameras that deliver uncompressed video files; meaning the file that is produced at the output has never been <a title="Video compression" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_compression">compressed</a>, nor has it been generated by decompressing previously compressed digital video. That is, no video information has been removed.<br>

Could you please tell me how can access these files on a digital camera? or what kind of digital camera should I buy to be able to do so?<br>

Thank you for your consideration,</p>

<p>I'm not 100% sure, but I think the C500 is the only camera in the EOS family that can do that. Most if not all of the normal EOS SLRs (the ones that are basically still cameras with video capabilities, as opposed to the cinema cameras like the C500) cannot do this, nor would it normally be desirable because of the massive amounts of data generated. For instance, 4k is about 8 megapixels, times three colour channels, and at 60 frames per second, that's over a gigabyte of data per second.</p>
