1DC: Canon 1DC woes

[ultramaze]

Honestly, I usually use cine glass so the fact that it won't AF in CLog is irrelevant. Takes me back to the point of get whatever has the features you need. The GH5 has some STUNNING images, if you like it better, go for it. For me, the 1dc is weather proof, solid, can be dropped, never freaks out on me - the gh5, not quite as much. Both amazing cameras and the fact that a 1dc can be had for $3k is amazing to me, it's a steal. Too m any of us get lost in the stats - just pick up the camera and look at the image you get straight off the card - jaw dropping. So yeah, it has a lot of things that make it a pain, but what's your priority and what do you want/need to make the content you want? That's all that matters. A few extra pixels, a little less noise - what tool is going to work best for you?

I couldn't agree more. I will never get rid of my 1dc. It has the best most pleasing image of any camera I have ever owned. I shoot usually in "faithful" picture profile for YouTube stuff and it always looks stunning. This video has ZERO color grading with the exception of the first 10 seconds and the last 15 seconds. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HdI2laAw-xs
