The Ninja gives you a lot more shadow detail and texture, particularly at high ISOs. Foliage and fast motion hold up a lot better. Not sure if it matters as much as one would think for...

I have this:

http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/841122-REG/Zacuto_Z_CSR_C300_Striker_Camera_Rig.html

It's ok except with long lenses (and an external recorder and the sound thingy) it gets...

Does this apply only to AVCHD or to footage captured with external recorders as well? As you might have guessed from some of my previous posts, I've struggled to expose correctly with the C100 (am...

Agreed. In shadows even at 850ISO, though.

I'll take the 80 inch if you can ship it fast. Priority mail, ideally.

How does it mount to a tripod? How steady is it with a C300 and a Vinten 5 tripod, let's say?

What should it be?

I'm also seeing that my FCP7 import matches my Ninja footage whereas the 5DtoRGB import holds onto saturation better in the highlights. (No it's not a matter of broadcast safe.)...

850 ISO. I might be wrong about the IRE... can't see past 110 so don't know what's up there.

You don't have to read any further then. If you have any grading tips to eek out that last bit of highlight saturation that's missing from the Ninja2 footage, I could use them though, because I can't...

Working in Color, which handles superwhites fine. I can't post this footage publicly, maybe I can post images of the waveform monitor and little thumbnails of pertinent areas, though with Ninja vs....

Frustrating! The built in codec is very good but this bugs me nonetheless. Feels crippled....


Fwiw camera is overall amazing. :)

BMCC is trying to be a cheaper Red.

C100 is trying to bridge the gap between dSLR and HPX/EX1-style camera.

Similar price points for a full outfit, but very different cameras.

Zeiss you get a decent amount but pay an awful lot. Likely the best options but with diminishing returns for the price. Not better in a field-significant way. Nice for renting since clients love the...

Thanks, I'll pick one up.

Cardboard, spray paint, and velcro for the built-in LCD for now, I guess.

Thanks! For the Ninja, I'm assuming? I'll order one ASAP. What do you recommend for the built-in LCD? I think it's 3''.

I'm also looking for a replacement diopter/hood for the EVF, but I assume...

Does anyone know of any sunhoods available for the C100's LCD and the Ninja 2. I need one for my AC on an upcoming feature and also so I can view the LCD outdoors when I can't operate through the...

I have heard very bad things about these lights.

I do think a 1.2k is a very useful light. The M18 is very, very useful. Both are affordable rentals.

I'm in the same camp... started out...

Does anyone have any advice for finding more clients? My new commercial and corporate reels I'm cutting kick ass and should be among the best in the area for owner/ops (obviously I can't compete with...

Yes, can you use those settings in cinema lock mode/canon log (it seems you can't) and do they match the Alexa in rec709, where it seems to have too much saturation and a green bias overall, or in...

What is LL ability?

It sounds like you like the GH3. For the money you can't do much better. I use a C100 because there are specific things I need (audio inputs, long battery life, c log so I can...

Thanks, what are the advantages of these profiles, btw? I want to match the colors of canon log as closely as I can to the colors of the Alexa. I know the gamma curve will vary, but I want to get...

What are the Brian Weed profiles? You've sold me on the external recorder when it's feasible. Thanks for the insight.

Makes sense for extreme circumstances (such as a warehouse might be), but since the camera has such poor tonality relative to the 10-bit guys, doesn't it make sense to maintain as much of it as...

Gary, what kind of stuff are you shooting that requires C-log and for what clients do you deliver standard AVCHD files (and using what gamma? wide dr?)? I just sold my external recorder because I...

You thought wrong. Both of the posters above corroborated that Canon used a better log mode on the C100 than the C300, and have since ported it to the C300.

Furthermore:

No. Each camera has its own look, like film stock. There's a reason why the Alexa is as expensive as it is. Nothing else (yet) offers that look or the almost unlimited highlight detail and the...
