I just had an "on the record" conversation with the a canon rep today on the show floor and brought up the whole "lack of 4k across the board" issue. They told me that the Japanese corporate people just don't get it but now are seeing some serious impact from Panasonic and Sony. He said their philosophy is that people who buy 77d and t7i don't need 4k but I said the 80d is a great video camera and they should add 4k to that model. He said a 90d with 4k would make sense but not to get our hopes up. 
I also spoke to a Panasonic rep today who told me that he was on the airplane sitting next to a Canon rep and the Canon rep told him "you and Sony are eating our lunch in the lower end and the a9 is a serious hit to our high end." The Panasonic rep said this is the first year that Canon reps have the humility and lack of ego/ pride that they normally do. 
Also, I spoke to the Canon rep about the c100 mk3. He said it does exist. It's just not here and he couldn't tell me when we will see it. He couldn't confirm any specs. I'll try to dig more on them tomorrow

I'd say NAB2017 is a complete bust, camera wise.
Nothing from BM, Canon, RED, Arri, Nikon (!)...  A teaser from Panny and a sports cam from Sony.
Is Cinegear gonna be the new place to announce, or is it just a one off?

I had a great first day. Stay tuned for day #2! 
 

Yes. There was a leak. I am not saying anything and I didn't post this. I may or may not have heard something tonight at a party  
It may or may not have been a reputable source but from what I was told it sounds like the perfect camera. We will see tomorrow

I was just at the Sony press release and spoke to a Sony Rep. there was literally nothing interesting at the press release. I told the rep I was hoping for a Sony a9s and he asked me why? I told him it's because I want Slog and better video features. He then asked me "why why don't you just get an a7S II?" I said I want phase detect autofocus and the better battery. He then said "well you're going to have to wait a long time."
 
conclusion:
nothing new here. Looks like we will wait at least another 6 months before we see anything. 
 
At least I got a free cookie.

Given the decent lowlight performance and high quality noise reduction in the C300 II and 1DX II, the C100 III, with a flip out screen, very low RS, native Canon AF support, and of course, Canon color, perhaps there's not really a letdown the A7S III won't be released any time soon. Probably 8-bit 420 for 4K to differentiate from C300 II 422 10-bit (would think they'd need to release a FW update for the C300 II for 4K60 to offer 4K60 in the C100 III (differentiator would be 10-bit 422 vs. 8-bit 420)).

Well then, I stand corrected! Here's looking forward to tomorrow!

Has anyone heard any rumors about a C100 III? I'd love it if something got announced at NAB, but I feel there would have been some leaks here and there these past few weeks, no?

Yeah looking boring so far but remember... it doesn't start proper until Monday.
And leaks usually don't start to appear until the day before.
However I am not that hopeful for much excitement on the camera side. Sony probably won't come with an A7S 3 just yet... Panasonic probably won't come with much as GH5 still fresh... Canon probably asleep and Nikon probably doesn't even know NAB is on

Haha You don't disappoint.

I will archive your face if you don't shut up

Haha God help me some days I come to the forum just for these ban threats. I'm a fan. Someone needs to archive these.

If you want to ban someone for pointing out real log is different to your flat profile (which is really good and useful, btw)... Then ban away.... I thought you liked honesty though?
