I love the upgrade, it's turned my C100 from a Cinema Camera into a Cinema Camcorder. BUT there's something I'd like to see happen, and I'm wondering if there's a way to do it. Like the one-push autofocus, I'd love to have an assignable button to momentarily CANCEL the continuous autofocus as I...

I wanted to hate the Z-Finder Pro. I'm not sure why, maybe because I resent paying upwards of $350 for something made of plastic with not many moving parts. I also resent having to use a loupe for a camera that was supposed to be a big improvement over using a DSLR for video, and in most every...

The 1/4" hole at the top rear of the handle (#8 on page 20 of the manual). Use it gently. Mine failed (actually broke, not stripped). I've only used it to hold a SmallHD DP4 monitor, about a pound. Sent it into Canon for repair and was told by the rep that several of these are failing...

I've been trying to squeeze better audio out of my C100. Not that it's bad, quite the contrary. But I'm forced to admit I don't quite understand when to use the limiter and the mic trimming. I read someplace that it's good to use a -6 setting mic trim on a wireless, and I've tried that with my...

It seems to me that even when my audio meters are hitting the red, my audio comes out much weaker than it should. My waveforms in Premiere look pretty humble too, so I'm getting the impression the C100 is lying to me. I got some files from a C300 shooter I'm working with and his audio is much...

Curious if anyone has tried one with a C100 or C300. Would love your impressions about this or any other shoulder rig you're using with a C camera that works for you. Thanks!

I'm wondering who is regularly (or not) black balancing your C100 with a body cap on before shooting. What's the price I'm paying for not doing this? I'll admit I seldom, if ever, remember to do it.

Small HD Eyepiece Solution Small HD Eyepiece Solution I think I have a good solution for this problem, or as good as it can get, under the circumstances. I recently got a SmallHD DP4 EVF. It came with an old style asymmetrical eyecup as well as the new round one. First I slipped the old one on...
