    Here is a place to post footage from the Canon 1DX Mark II. The below footage is not mine, but I thought it would be a good place to start. Feel free to add comments below.

    Thanks, the camera is a lot of fun. Below are a few different cages that could work well. The fitted cage is awesome.

    I am really enjoying using the new BMMCC. Black Magic basically fixed everything that was wrong with the original pocket. This was all shot handheld, used two IS lenses, Canon 24-105 and the Canon 35mm f2 IS. I know that this sensor will really shine when you use the Sigma 18-35 and other shallow lenses, but I do think having an IS lens makes the setup incredibly fun to use. 
    Some thoughts:
    Moire seems improved. (There is one shot in this entire edit that has moire. I shot at around f4-f8 for the whole day.)
    The battery life seems to be at least 3 times higher than the original pocket. 
    The menu system is incredibly easy to use, despite having less buttons than the original. 
    Using the Small HD 501/LUT preview is really really nice with this camera. I used HOOKs LUT to judge exposure. The grade is just simple three way in Magic Bullet Looks.

    Post a frame of yours where skin looks as good on a Sony as on a Canon. This just a LITTLE important for wedding shoots...

    It sounds like the C100mkii would be the perfect camera for you.
    Lightweight, internal NDs, great colors, very small file sizes, awesome ergonomics, great lowlight, XLR audio, auto focus, etc.

    My rig is looking similar to this but just the monitor and a top handle.
    However I like your hotshoe rail and F&V ball head... where you get them from, any links to the actual items so I can order?
    PS - 1.74x crop with the BMPCC Speed Booster... nice. Canon APS-C is 1.6x crop so not far off fully using the image circle of EF-S lenses.
    Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 very nice on it.
    35mm F2.0 IS also.
    SLR Magic 10mm T2.1 best one without Speed Booster I have used and the Panasonic Leica 15mm F1.7 best ultra small option.

    Cool. Glad you're enjoying it.
    Agree on all points aside from the menu system...
    Although the menus are very nicely laid out, the physical controls on this camera are completely laughable.
    Better have a lens with an aperture ring on it and hope you don't ever need to change ISO or shutter speed in a hurry!

    The 60p out of this camera is unbelievable. Shooting some stuff this afternoon. This is the camera I have always wanted. 
    The level of stress I have shooting with this vs a larger setup or a 5D3 raw is so much lower. It looks great and is really fun to shoot with. The Small HD with LUT support is really needed to get the best out of it. Running Hook's Basic LUT in the still below. Obviously don't judge the quality of the image on that, just showing how effective it can be for judging exposure. Screen grab taken within Small HD monitor.

    Just shot with the micro around town this evening. I love the bright record light RED when recording, green when in stand by. So many minor improvements that make the bmmcc so much better than the original pocket. This camera is a lot of fun to shoot with. The 60p is really awesome.

    60p will unlock a lot of creativity with these cameras. I'm curious how bad the rolling shutter will be in 60p.

    The Sony stuff is the worst. I agree about the lack of BMMCC footage, although the pocket was the same way. I imagine we see a ton in the next few weeks. I hope to have one by the end of next week. I am really wanting that 60p.

    Looks real good. Once you have the proper setup, (Metabones/Sigma 18-35,) it's all in the grade. That really is the winning combo. The camera looks really good shallow, which is hard to do without the 18-35. I love the handheld look on wides with all that DR
    Another guy doing cool stuff with the Digital Bolex. I love the handheld stuff with the global shutter… You can really get that saturated caked on color look.

    You're telling everyone color science is "subjective" but this just looks like an instagram VSCO photo. I have trouble believing that anyone who shoots interviews a lot, thinks Sony color is fine and can be fixed with curves. Sony seems to do pretty nice in natural light, but so do a lot of cameras. The canon cameras handle mixed lighting really well.
    Here is Philip Bloom's - Shot S-LOG 4K, Graded in film convert. It looks terrible. 
    The price of the 1DXii is high, but the footage is going to look nice.
