C300: Best way to do Slow Motion?

I have a project coming up where I might shoot C300, to my knowledge it does not do 60fps so I am thinking about doing high shutter with 24p or 30p for the scenes I want and do them in twixtor.

If anyone has any ideas let me know, this is for a Music Video. I am looking to use the C300 instead of the red to save some cost and I feel it will be better in low light sensitivity.
 
It does 60P in 1280X720. The C100 is the one with no 60P. If you need 1080/60P then twixtor is your best option. Otherwise you have 720/60P
 
If slowmo is an important part of the video you're looking to shoot, then rent something else instead. An FS700 should have a pretty similar rental cost, is great in low-light, and will do up to 240fps. The C300 is a great camera for many many things, but slowmo is definitely NOT one of them.

Thanks for the reply. I will be using 1280x720 60fps for slow motion.

@stefancoison IMO the Sony FS700 produces a video like image that I do not like at all. Also I do not like slow motion slower than 60fps, unless I'm doing gun shots or high speed race cars, which I'm not.

C300 is my weapon of choice as I personally love the way the camera looks.

I love the look of the C300 too, but was none too impressed with the 720p image. The lack of a great HFR option is the big downside of that camera in my opinion.
 
C300 is a great camera, I enjoy using it every time I pick it up except for overcrank. The 60P in 720 is just not cutting it for me. I'd be trying the twixtor approach TBH.
