Nice but shame about the tiny sensor and boring lens. A Super 35mm interchangeable lens version of this would kill the GH4.

Price $15,999 and available to pre-order at B&H The Canon C300 Mark II specs are now out and you can see my opinion of the new camera below. Read the full article

Double the price of the FS7 for the same specs but no 4K 60fps, no 180fps. It does however have a lot of positives. No need for lens adapters, just use your EF stuff. Dual pixel AF can be handy for run & gun. Much stronger ND filter than FS7.

GH4 was in UHD at 25p.

It's NOT REAL guys!! Do you really think Canon would put out such low-grade looking crap? And the camera body is obviously Photoshopped. Look at how the body around the X at the front has been stretched downwards to make it larger. Look how the perspective is warped on the antenna connector at the back and the C700 logo looks like it was done in Photoshop... by a child... off his head on vodka!!

Yeah it's been a long wait. Funnily enough the main feature I am looking forward to is VLOG. With A7S having SLOG and so many lovely LUTs out there I want to apply them to the GH4 footage so need LOG. Maintains small file sizes compared to raw which is very nice.

I think they are just timing it for NAB Simon. Not long to wait now, let's see in 7 days...

So basically what you are saying is A7S = perfect camera to shoot The Simpsons with?

​Well, um, use it on a camera it's designed for then!! You wouldn't use a c-mount lens on a 5D Mark III!

The Canon sensors are so noisy. Can't be pushed as far. How much of a practical difference it makes to real photography though.... I'm not sure. Who under exposes by 6ev by mistake on every shot!?

Yeah good straight out of the camera that's for sure. But Fuji X-T1 film modes are even better so Canon still can learn something about character!

Yes they can.... expert colourist with raw! BMCC raw in good light! Digital Bolex CCD colour!

Not cheap!! Going to be £999 in the UK / est. $1250. http://***URL removed***/articles/6069483164/voigtlander-releases-price-of-forthcoming-10-5mm-f-0-95-lens-for-micro-four-thirds-system Be curious to see if they have cured the purple fringing I saw on the one at Photokina last September.

We synced this in Premiere by moving the master track by audio-time code for precision less than a frame, whilst syncing the video clips based on the waveforms from the inbuilt mics. It worked and wasn't too time consuming. So how does FCPX do it automatically and is it straight forward & reliable or do you end up fiddling with it afterwards to fix it?

LX100 has proper 4K. There are no excuses for Nikon. You either want sales, or you don't. Appears they don't.

All cameras at 25p and E-M1 can suck my balls!!

Yeah, I judge by images as well funnily enough! And C300 is nowhere near an Alexa!! It isn't better than an FS7. It isn't better than the 1D C. It isn't more cinematic than the Dragon. It isn't better than an F55 or F65 either. It's not in same league as the Varicam S35. You have mushy detail by comparison to ALL those cameras and less dynamic range as well as less colour information to grade from.

I wish I had never started this discussion!

  Bunny Suit - Weird Ballad live at Tempelton Studio, Berlin. Directed by Andrew Reid. Watch on YouTube. Berlin based band Bunny Suit (follow here on Facebook / SoundCloud) recently went into Temeplton Studio to lay down some tracks. We decided to shoot a live video of the recording which would then be synced up perfectly with the final mix of the tracks in post. The Sony A7S in this shoot is graded using the lovely "Manchester" LUT from James Miller's Deluts pack. But there were 6 other cameras backing it up. Can you tell which is which!?

Wasn't that 20fps? Nikon are turning back the clock! Soon they will be giving us silent movies!!

Nikon 1 series is the camera nobody wants to buy and nobody wants to like and then Nikon wonder why!? Haha.

I laughed when I read that. Just proves how overrated this industry workhorse really is. The Red Dragon and Panasonic Varicam S35 are in a different league along with the Alexa. The difference is enormous. 8bit MPEG 50Mbit/s 1080p better colour than 6K Red Raw? Really? The FS7 stomps all over the CX00's image, which is why it is being promptly replaced. The 1D C is by far the more pleasing image rendering wise, being almost full frame. The A7S as well, renders with more panache with a variety of beautiful full frame lenses by comparison to the Super 35mm CX00 line. The GH4 and NX1 beat it soundly for detail rendering and come close in overall look and feel for $1.5k.

Here's what you get for wanting to help... Never before has someone been so rude and unprofessional from any manufacturer who has sent me something to review. Sending me something for a review isn't a guarantee that I will like it or be able to make use of it, especially if it is shipped in a state that is unusable. At the same time Mindaugas and Cosimo were using an 18 page thread on my own forum for garnering sales and customer feedback. It's deplorable. Thread closed.

Here's a clear way to think about it... The C100 and C300 image quality is no better than the A7S in APS-C crop mode. It's a bit worse in fact. The A7S is $2499 so cheaper than both and still cheaper than the C300 by a considerable margin. Really, what you are paying for is: Built in NDNative EF mountMore robust build qualityBetter audio and XLRFull sized HDMI and HD-SDIVideo optimised ergonomicsLonger run times on one batteryBUT with drawbacks of.. Worse EVFLarger and heavierNo stills capabilityNo speed boosterNo full frame lookThink that sums it up.

I think the Amazon page mock-up with 3 answered questions about a product that doesn't exist yet and dated 13th April is a little suspect. The dynamic range of 15-16 stops also seems like a rather big leap from 12 in just one generation of Panasonic sensor. But the biggest giveaway is that Sol says 4K is wider than in HD mode now because of the multi-aspect sensor, whilst saying it takes a 1:1 area for 4K like before. Therefore a 4K of less than 2x crop as he suggests wouldn't be possible, because the sensor is still 16MP. As for 'a mistake' to publish the blog post early. A mistake is one thing, to Tweet about it and Facebook it quite another He knows his stuff though! He is welcome to the extra followers, probably deserves it. Nice blog.
