eason it looks a little funky on YT is the footage was downscaled to FHD to soften it up, then upscaled back to 4K. With a heavy film stock grade in the middle. Kind of a weird process but it does come out filmic!

Yes, softer image = more filmic somehow.

There is something about that camera that looks so filmic! I would love to see that film without the youtube compression.

Seems like a great camera for me.

Good codec with overall good video functionality, good skintones, okay rolling shutter, small formfactor, small kitlens, EF Lenses can be adaptet, I can use  my APSC Lenses in APSC mode, "internal ND" Filter possible( in the RF-EF Adapter),...

If i would only have to shoot video i would definetely go with Panasonic ( or Fuji), but this seems like a camera that you also actually take with you and not leave in the hotel room when you're on holidays.

This was my main work camera for two years. I struggled with it. Coming from the C100, I thought that it would be a home run but I found myself missing the C100 a lot. The C100 was easier to handhold, had more reliable DPAF (even though it was center-weighted), and monitoring wasn't as confusing.

I was unimpressed with the H264 and only used CRL, recorded to a Solidpod that I mounted externally. Other C200 shooters have told me that they are okay with the noise levels, but to me the CRL footage was noisier than I was comfortable for client work at ISO 400 or above. After almost every shoot I would run NeatVideo on all of my footage, apply a LUT (unless they wanted CLOG2), and export ProRes files before handing it off to my clients. The resulting footage was really nice, but it took a lot to get there.

The day that I shipped the C200 out, I breathed a sigh of relief. I now have a C70, which addresses all of my problems with the C200.

Thanks for the honest review - it's a pass...

I keep getting tempted to get a Canon C200 for that Canon RAW, DPAF and Internal ND

I would love to hear some additional oppinions on the Canon C200. Does anybody have any experience? It seems to be a really good camera handling wise and at the moment you can find some real bargains.

I am also wondering how big the 2K Raw files are and how sharp - i hope they are using the full sensor... 

Seems an interesting option for my micro budget movies(2K raw) , music videos (4K RAw) and the occasional filming of the family( that 8 bit codec).

Merry Christmas to the whole EOSHD Forum crew!

i shot this little christmas film on the blackmagic pocket 6K pro with the Sigma 16-35 and the laowa probe. As it borrowed all the Lego models, the camera (thanks to Impossiple Filmproduction in Hamburg) the probe it was a whole lot of production time. Also it took quite long to set the whole thing up. Of course i wanted to tell little stories with the lego figures, but time became tooooo tight and it took me several attempts to find a lighting situation that would work. Of course the scene would have also been much greater if i had more of the practical lamps.I looked for small lights around the house and now there is a variety of lamps inside the houses.  You can fiddle around with the lighting for ages! i definitelely had the feeling i had to stop when i was just getting started. This might also be a fun thing to just shoot on an iphone.. Hopefully next year...

And of  course i would be happy if you would show the film to your children, share it and like and comment and follow my channel on youtube...

And to show the improvement i am also putting in the first LIL chilltrain Christmas movie from two years ago.

Sorry, somehow i cannot delete the upper comment.

Well done, this looks really good. Can you tell us about some of the technical details? What lenses at what focal lengths and apertures did you shoot, and what ISOs and compression settings did you use? Thanks.

Thank  both of you very much for your feedback!

Used the Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens on this shoot. The whole thing was shot in 3 hours with available light. I used the Tiffen black Promist 1/8 Filter and in the celar we added some Aerosol spray that i had still lying around. The oil lamp is actually a led light which was great as it has a dimmer- but i am very happy the tiffen hides the center of light so heavy. Of course it would hav been even greater if the led in the oil lamp could have been set to some kind of flicker mode .

Check out this video for Captain Gips: Shot on Blackmagic with the trusted Sigma 16-35 and all the exteriour shots on the iphone on a gimbal. I would love to see what an experienced grader could get out of the Gopro 11 - would be great to have a camera that i could hand out to my clients so they can take some shots during their travels. Sadly the Iphone was set to HD and 29 fps when they were filming this - but on the other hand they did some good camera moves...

Has anyone here actually used the R7? Specs work for me but my main question is wether it's fun to use!

I am really wondering why all these films showing the fuji have these muted colours. This  look was supercool when the XT4 arived but has been used extensicely by the instagram crowd. I would love to see an example of a classical high key shot such as the "classical family on the beach at full sunlight commercial look" . It's all about the skintones.

Hey,

check out this little video i shot on the Blackmagic Pocket 6K Pro ( except the first Shot in the Video, that one is A7III) .

Who finds the shots that were shot on iphpne 13...

Thanks, that's a great idea and might have even added to the summer feeling of the song - even though i was happy that i got some nice summer colours out of the fX3 - that would not have been possible with the a7iii i used before.

Check out this music video shot on a variety of cameras...

Check out this Music Video i shot on the FX3.

The Camera is a massive upgrade to the A7iii. In Postproduction it was pretty easy to improve the lighting due to the 10 bit and it was finally possible to shot nice summer wether with Sony. But then you upload it to Youtube and the compression messes it all up...

Check it out! Looking forward to your feedback!

Of course it would really help the artist if you would comment or like on youtube.

A new set of 1.5 anamorphics...

P.S. Can you upload it to vimeo or maybe even send a link ? Would love to see it without the nasty youtube compression.

Wow very cinematic! Did you use a black Promist? Or added the glow in Resolve? Grab an actor make a short!

Nice!

Heyho,

one year ago Grimes dropped some greenscreen footage on the internet and asked everyone to create their own music video. We did a remix and used Unreal engine and after effects to create the following video. As these were our first steps into the realm of Unreal engine and keying there are some quirks ( sh**tty keys = sh*ddy kiez) but overall it's really incredible what can be done on a basic computer today. I guess that lighting and vfx work is really where it's at now and the camera is not the bottleneck anymore - of course this does not go for the Documentary Filmer or Wild life photgrapher. Nevertheless check it out...

That red line on the back is actually a vent!

Wow, active facecooling - GAMECHANGER!

Hey everyone thank you very much for all your replies! These are the insights i was looking for. I guess i will do some tests before starting the project!

Best regards,
