Hi Guys! 

I'm coming from TV production background with maybe 200 news stories shoot by me (on JVC shoulder cams)

I'm lookig to get a complete production package. I want to shoot all kinds of productions, but conentrate on advertisment and reportage/ run and gun documentary . I went wih c100 mk2, 70d and canon glass as I love the ergonomics and images it produces. 

I'm aware with amazing develepment with sony cameras, but those a7 cameras look that the have very poor ergonomics and are not really build as pro tools. I also considered awesome sony f35 but it's very hard to operate with huge bulk and the setup probably would cost a lot more. Although I saw sony f35 for under 5k on ebay. 

I love c100mk2 ergonomics, but the codec and 8bit are huge disappointment - still it's the most compelling package 

I would like to maybe save somehow on this setup and get 5dmark 3 for fotos. 

What I needs is general critique, and advise on tripods and lights, matte boxes etc.

c100mk2 is a great cam but you are going to be limited to 1080p. 

Have a look at the FS5 & Ursa mini cameras that will give you more flexibility on the productions that you can take. Very soon you will loose possible jobs if you cannot deliver 4K. 

I would like to maybe save somehow on this setup and get 5dmark 3 for fotos. 

In my opinion that's a waste of money. If you want a camera to do photos at that price range you should consider the GH4/NX1/A7rii that all do excellent video as well. Difference between the quality of the pictures is not as much as the internet tries to argue.

That is waste of money as well. It might have been fine if you want to be portable and you are working with Final cut, but for everything else get a custom build desktop! You will be editing faster with no need for proxies when you move to 4K...

Any what do you think about used c500 ? There is one for about 7k now on ebay

Thanks

good camera for a good price. Keep in mind that you will need an external recorder for 4k but that is better than no 4k at all. 

Others should weigh in on this. 

Yeah, for me ergonomics are most important. XLR inputs, build in NDs, goof AF make working a breeze.  Sony a7s II looks very flimsy and not comfortable

I'm in the same boat, so I hear you.

A tool that helps you focus on getting the best material is worth a great deal. Especially under less than idea circumstances, which for me is a lot of the time. Although the A7 line up can produce great images, at the end of the days they are fussy little toys.

I would be a little thrilled to wake up tomorrow and discover that Canon released a firmware update that kicked the C100mkii into high gear. Alas.
