Interesting. Looks like they're working on making the R primarily for photos again, and hopefully, the SIII will see actual proper improvements for video. Or not, and I have 0 reason to upgrade, which will also make me happy.

A reminder of how gorgeous the 1dx can be straight out of the can 

150 Mbits LGOP only at the moment, not really the perfect codec...
The title of the post is C200 or 1Dx II for 4k 60p ....on paper both ar better than EVA1 for the OP. Real life could be different

The GH5 isn't a DSLR.. just saying

Back in the film age did you also believe all SLR manufactures should also manufacture their own film as well??

The Nikon D850 doesn't use a Sony sensor you silly "Canon person"

4 things i hope they can add in firmware, then i leave sony for good.
*4k peaking
*4k slowmotion
*4k highbitrate
*Face [Focus] tracking
 

Dinosaur or T-rex?

@ssrdd 4K ain't worth the price (or the effort). I will stop shooting video until 8K cameras cost less than 999$.

C'mon @BTM_Pix, overheating is a feature...An important innovation, helping shooters to plan their takes carefully. It simply doesn't make sense nowadays to shoot Godfather IV in a single, continuous take. Overheating warnings are nothing but artistic reminders...

Typical Sony Skin Tones Grading Session: 
1. Pull towards magenta.
2. Pull back to green. 
3. Pull a bit more back to magenta. 
4. A little nudge towards green.
5. Slight more magenta.
6. Increment of green. 
7. Too magenta, or too green? 
8. Arrgh sod it, looks good enough. 
 
The A6500 has the best skin tones at the lower end. 
FS7 and F55 and barely any different. 
The issue I've found is mostly the suspect white balance on Sony consumer cameras. Doesn't work as expected. This causes crap looking footage uploaded to Vimeo. 
On the VENICE, it looks like if you press button on it, a building nearby will explode. 

With the new firmware 2.0 update, the Panasonic GH5 becomes the first 5K 10bit H.265 mirrorless camera, and you don't even need an anamorphic lens to join the party.

To be brutally honest....Most camera reviewers and early adopters do a PISS poor job of filming good subject matter and showing off the strengths of the camera being evaluated.  They WASTE so much time blabbing about tech specs and and showing themselves on screen TALKING about features of the camera VS shooting something and SHOWING the features.  No one wants to watch 3 minutes of a talking head and 1 minute of sample clips.  Take for instance the C100...folks swear its merely a documentary camera.  Below are some test shots I took for a web series I'm working on with the C100MK2. Clog with light grade upscaled to 4k.  I'm betting the C200 looks even better.
 
 
 
 

I'm joking guys.

Where are YOU going to get 10bit 4K 4:2:2 LOG and 180fps slow-mo for $6000?
Not Canon!

4k 400mbps is lie or clic bait from initial advertisements
4k 60fps is 8bit in year 2017
2k 240fps is cropped with 8bit in year 2017
5.7k resolution is God knows when upgrade and not internal
2500 ISO max usable
No Autofocus
 
How cool is it for calling 7500/- cheap!
 
I think after canon, Panasonic started smoking same shit in my opinion. Overall its a marketing gimmick in year 2017.

Red basically realized they were selling the Raven way too cheap. 
Pretty sure the profit margin on this new package deal went way up.
Old "Basic I/O Package" Red Raven price was:
RED RAVEN BRAIN w/ Media Bay / Canon EF Mount
DSMC² Base I/O V-Lock Expander
AC POWER ADAPTOR (DSMC)
1 x RED MINI-MAG - 120GB
WEAPON RED TOUCH 4.7" LCD
DSMC² Universal Handle
1-Year Standard Warranty
$9,950 / $1,000 Deposit
 
Now they throw in a FCPX code, two IDX batteries, a Sigma lens and a hardcase all "valued" at around $2000
and sell the new package for $14,999.95.
Smart move if you ask me.  
 
 

Its a bit mind boggling to consider the sort of fanboy cult an alliance between RED and Apple could potentially produce.
Its going to be like the moonies merging with the scientologists.

Have you tried Grindr?

True, assigning dollar amounts to features is a crude way of evaluating a camera. But I think my overall point stands: at this point, with what we know or can reasonably assume about the camera (GH5 LSI, AF performance), the camera is overpriced- even when disregarding the GH5 and strictly comparing to it's intended competitors (FS5/7/7II, C300II, UMP, C200).
I also think assuming the EVA will be a Varicam at half the price is a bit foolhardy- at least when recording internally. Processing and codec are very important parts of the image pipeline, and if it's the GH5 LSI in the EVA, I doubt it will be packing Varicam magic into 150Mbps. Surely the image will be a bit nicer than the GH5's, just because of the better sensor: but quadruple-the-cost better?
I'm betting the EVA will be a lot like the FS5- nice form factor, nice sensor, really nice image when outputting raw to a (bulky, fiddly, expensive) external recorder.... weak-ish internal codec that's a lot closer to what's in their consumer photo cams (GH5 or A-series, respectively) than their pro cams (Varicam or FS7/7II/F5).

It's similar to VR- lots of hype but until certain elements are massively improved, these technologies won't be desired by the mainstream. There will be casualties along the way, though neither will completely disappear. At some point in the future, when VR gets 3D without glasses and computational cameras produce quality HDR 3D video (from high quality 3D depth data), they'll get married and everyone will be happy.

With special talent like Michel Gondry, no need of "fiddly" DSLR, a simple modern smarphone is enough. Less is more ! And....French Touch !
 
 
 

Sony fs5 is a bummber from the beginnng from the day one why cry now

I'm kicking myself for not asking the same question!!
 
The C200 ships with Dual Digic 6 processors which has got to be faster than the single Digic 5 in the XC10. There's no way the hardware couldn't support it. RAW output can't be the reason either because RAW is *less* processor intensive -- it just takes the sensor feed and writes it to a card, it doesn't have to debayer or add noise reduction or anything. 

Canon's own press release for XF-AVC lists the specs of the codec, and for 4K it can do either 8/10bit I-Frame 422 and for HD 8/10/12bit 420/422/444. Committing resources to creating an 8bit 420 for 4K just to protect the C300mkII would be *insane*, though I wouldn't put it past them. It might even explain why it doesn't ship with XF-AVC.

I walked into the demo planning the business case to finance the C200, and I walked out with an order for a C100 mkII. They're now selling the C100 mkII for $5000AUD and it comes with an Atomos Ninja Blade kit, vs the C200 with retails for $12499AUD. Easiest purchase decision I've ever made!
