Canon C300 MKII Announced

I guess you are joking.

This is a box that should be built in.. http://www.newsshooter.com/2015/04/...abilisation-shown-working-with-panasonic-gh4/

As for having a phone? well at least talking to a phone (and on one) have you ever opped with a phone jammed under your cans getting instruction from a director on a far hill?

There is a need to chuck out mini edits in todays age at twitter res (480?) - we did a stills at tradeshow job and I can guarantee that the images we took on the iphone and pumped out in an instant got us more brownie points from our client than the 'proper' stills we took on the 5d3 and delivered from the hotel in the evening. That will come to video.

I have wifi on two of my cams (NX1 and A7s).... Never once used it to upload a camera to facebook or Co, via my phone.

I want my work to look as good as possible, which means post work.
 
Of course. Really I was just comparing the tech you get in a $400 phone to the camera which I said is 'in a bubble'. My main concern with pro tools it always to out do any amateur tools the director/client might have on every front, and with no hyperlapse or 240p that wall is already broken.

There are always situations where an iPhone will be "good enough", but instead of professional gear being cluttered with consumerish functions to compete with iPhones, professionals should just use the iPhone in that instance. My 2c;)
 
You might be doing sport with a 300 2.8 - getting a view that no iphone would get - but a client might need to 'tweet' a goal, trophy lift or other moment.

Its more about getting webres footage off the camera fast to a device. I dont think onboard editing or suchlike is the route.

This is only one of hundreds of concepts that are missing from 'bubble' cameras.

Offloading one shot, setting IN and OUT, exporting it to h264 and uploading/tweeting it, doesn't take THAT long;)

I wouldn't mind a dedicated C300 App on my iPhone though, that would act as realtime preview and offer proxy editing - just NOT on the camera itself...;)

If you really need to do that type of immediate uploading there are a lot of ways to do that while getting better images than from a phone... Teradek make a system that can stream multiple camera feeds to an iPad that acts as a switcher for live feeds. Blackmagic just came out with a $500 mini recorder/5"monitor that records ProRes HD to SD cards. That could be the first step to quick offload without interrupting the shoot. Those are just the first two that came to mind. Neither of those examples is as quick and easy as an iPhone, but there are a lot of options that are getting closer to it. I guess my point is that Canon doesn't really need to build that functionality in to the camera. With so many other options and needs out there it would start to look like the "Homer" if it tried to meet every conceivable request. ...and we're straying way off topic...
 
Does anybody know (or someone stopping by their booth could perhaps ask) what the power consumption is for the C300 Mark II? I see the Canon C100 is 8 watts, C300 Mark I is 10 watts, and C500 is 23 watts.
