C100: C100 C300 C500 Firmware Update Schedule and Information

How about some higher frame rates for the c 300 ? My AF 100 can do 60 fps 1920x1080 . Why not my canon c300?

Wild guess: The C100 and C300 are pretty damn compact cameras, aren't they? Maybe they would have needed a faster processor to output higher framerates, and faster CPUs mean more heat. Maybe that was an issue. Again, just a guess.
 
ummm. The af 100 is a pretty compact camera and it shoots 1080 60 P all day long with out heat issues.

I hope that the the lack of higher frame rate issue in the c 300 can be remediated by a firmware update. After all the C500 and the C 300 supposedly share the same processors. If the 300 could do some higher frame rates at 1080, for instance up to 60 FPS, with a firmware update that has been strategically withheld It would be fantastic. I for one am not holding my breath. look how long it has taken to Canon to roll out (actually its still not out) the firmware update that enables autofocus and iris on the 300.
 
Good to see updates from Canon. I have really wanted the option to move the magnification on the c100 considering that my canon DSLR's have this feature. As much as we would like...I don't see the c100 getting much more in updates as it is considered a pro-consumer camera. I think it will be smart to give the c300 higher frame rates, and maybe 2.5k capability or 10 bit. I think this will then TRULY justify the $8000 difference between the c100 and c300. Right now, if you own a c100 and a ninja, your not missing much other than a better EVF compared to the c300.
 
I would be a happy bunny with 'just' an auto ISO function and \ or being able to assign buttons to increase and decrease ISO

DIGIC III isn't doing anything, the sensor data just got passed to compatible external recorders via SDI.

right but SDI technically cant give us any more then what it does now, as far as i know. But if i remember it right the HDMI technically can output 1080 60p and maybe even more 10 bit or 2k would be GREAT to squeeze out of my C300!

Hi.

Does anybody know if the firmware update for the C100 will have to be done through a Canon dealer? Or will I be able to do it myself?

Thank you.

Pretty sure that the C100 firmware update scheduled to release in November can be performed by the owner. If you are not up to the task, Texas Media Systems, will update the firmware for free.

When the C100 Firmware is released, it will show up this link.
