This is really cool. So compact. Can this do 60p or 48p at 10 bit in raw? I love the 5D3 Raw image, but something cheaper that I could throw on a tripod would be awesome.

1Dxii or 1DC.

Superior to the c300ii? ? I'm mainly talking about the Fs5 and Fs7, since they are similar in features.

Color and autofocus. First and Third are Sigma 18-35 1.8 - The second shot is with the 70-200 at 2.8. ISO 1000. First take, nails focus the entire path. The Sony FS5/FS7 can look nice, but this horribly lit hospital would be pretty tough. This is C300ii.

Yes, the XC10 is ALMOST so good. The stabilizer is really great. I love the color you can get, but the image is a bit unreliable. In the right setting however, it looks amazing.

A "match" is also subjective. The C200 does do 10bit/422 to a recorder, so there's that. Throw a video assist or a 200 dollar ninja on top and you're good. The 10 bit/422 images out of the C300ii look like alexa, so I am sure the C200 will look absolutely amazing. Clean images. I wish the C300ii had the low bit rate 4k codec the C200 has. I shoot a lot of projects in 1080 because of the space requirements. Shooting a full day of b roll and interviews is an insane amount of CF card space.

C300ii sensor. No.

Less is more. I would push them out at separate times, probably the better one first.

Thanks. Gotcha. Come to think of it, most of the nice Digital Bolex stuff I have seen avoid those scenarios... It was overcast but well lit, pretty much optimal for the limitations you're describing. For some reason I thought you were shooting a doc or narrative with this setup, just remembered that was the Ursa Mini.

This has so much nice texture to it. Curious why you decided to go with the Micro rather than a digital bolex? I know they're cheaper and you get 60p with the micro, but the Digital Bolex is pretty special. Shot this 3 years ago. The movement you get on Super 16mm zoom lenses is one of my favorite things ever. Svitar 26mm 1.1 C Mount Lens and a Som Berthiot 17-85 f3.8 Compact Zoom Lens. I really recommend the 26. Razor sharp at 2.8 and on, but a really cool look if you shoot a 1.1 wide open.

I agree with the fs5. I don't think bit rates really matter when a baked mode on the 5d3 produces a better image. That sensor is also real noisy. You could shoot 1080/422 interviews to a recorder and shoot your b roll in raw. Raw seems like such a bonus to me, this camera is closer to the fs5 in price but way ahead in the quality of images it will produce.

It also doesn't look like there's a viewfinder?

Is the official price under 8k then? 7995.00? Well, to be fair the Canon will probably have their updates out before the this camera is even in officially released. C200 preorder is Monday? Im really curious about the color and how clean the 240p is.

It will be able to output 5.7 raw is what I heard. I don't think there are any recorders currently that even offer that.

"In the future," also not internal. Are there even any recorders currently that can capture higher than 4k?

EF Lens mount. Screen looks so similar to the C200 or FS5. No viewfinder.

That'll be a 18k camera though.

That's not true... You can shoot handheld with a 70-200 2.8 IS on a Super 35mm Canon C300 and get those results easily. A bigger heavier camera will help you a bit, but the IS on those lenses is incredible.

Not that I am defending Canon's decisions, but the 8bit 420 4k will look better than 10bit/422 from the Sony FS5.

Having used the XC10, the 4k version of that codec is much better. But yeah, a bit of a bummer.

Well UHD, which is good enough for me since almost everything is 16:9 deliver anyway... Looks like it is HDMI 2 - 10 bit/422 out. I haven't heard if you need a license or anything.

Exactly. C-Log is really really good. I couldn't get my FS700/7Q 10 bit 4k files to look as good as the XC10 did. The only thing holding it back was the lens options. I can't any info on this. Does the camera output 10bit/422 1080 and 4k/10bit/422? Is there a 60p out of the SDI or HDMI? I'm buying one.

Most of the people here do paid work, commercial, corporate, doc work. If you have a paid shoot tomorrow with a small crew and you're forced to blow a window or some clouds, you'll want the highlight roll off to be clean and smooth, not budget dslr looking... The Gh5 is great but that is certainly a very noticeable weakness. A lot of little differences add up to a big difference.

Yeah, but the RED and even the 5d have much prettier highlights. The gh5 clips hard. This makes a huge difference when comparing the range of an image.

They probably went with the LP-6 due to weight and size? The micro cinema always uses those batteries... Which also sucks. You know what, I couldn't tell you because I have never used the internal recording. I do like to over expose a stop or two at times to get clean shadows, I would image this is more of a problem with the low bitrate. It is seriously difficult to get the F3 to fall apart. I will say that I use the C300ii quite a bit and the image on the F3 is pretty similar, (besides crummy indoor lighting, where Canon does so well at staying bright and colorful.) I do think it has one of the best 1080p images available. You do need to know that unless you have upgraded to the 444 version of the F3, you will not be able to get 60p with the video assist. You can with the 7Q without the upgrade, but that is much more expensive and a lot bigger/heavier. Also, for whatever reason there is a bug that causes the bottom pixel to flicker when using the video assist and capturing 60p/3g. I buy directly from SWIT. These guys are really good about shipping. I ordered Monday at 4pm and they shipped it out the same day and I will have it tomorrow. I currently own a 63w but just purchased that bigger one because it was on sale. I'll probably buy another if it works out. These are seriously convenient. http://www.swit.us/dv-batteries.html I have been using Canon LUTS and I am really happy with the results. I am working on a longer project that will be graded professionally, very excited to see how far we can push the files. I attached a couple stills. I think in almost all of these, I am exposing ETTR. I am really happy with how much saturation is held when over exposing. I have the F3 rigged right now but no photos... This is a very minimal low footprint setup, could be used on a monopod or something.
