C300: C300 MkII and Rolling Shutter question...

[dpc]

I was reading this article on the Fuji X-T2:

https://www.cinema5d.com/fujifilm-xt2-vs-sony-a7s-ii-best-mirrorless-video-camera/

About three-quarters of the way down there is a graphic showing C300 MKII rolling shutter at 6ms. This is the first time I've seen it quantified instead statements like "it's better than the previous model." For those that have the C300 MkII, what are your thoughts?

I'm in the market, and this could be a big factor for me.

Thanks,

6ms sounds about right- handheld footage with non-stabilized lenses looks really good- RS hasn't been noticeable.

Agreed, I haven't noticed any significant rolling shutter issues. I had a whip pan a few days ago I was sure would have it and it turned out fine.


Side note: I picked up the XT2, haven't touched the video, but the photos out of it are pretty amazing!

Haven't heard anything from our clients regarding RS......

Canon states the sensor refresh rate as 1/120 second on page 2 of this white paper: http://downloads.canon.com/cinemaeos/WhitePaper-imageperformanceenhancements-eosc300markii.pdf

That works out to 8.33ms, which is crazy fast! This is exactly half the 16.67ms for the original C300, where RS skew was already a non-issue. By comparison, most cinema cameras (aside from the ARRI cameras) operate at around 14-17ms.
