For the C300mkii.

There isn't a C700.

 

[sunnyjimfilms]

Yep, no doubt. I was referring to C300 mark II.

How often does #3 happen?

I figure the retailers get to see the "almost ready" products while the testers get to try out early prototypes too.

In the last 15 years, I've seen 3 items that never came out (too long to explain which ones)....and there is one we saw in January that may be #4 (we'll see at NAB).......

This looks like an HDMI 2.0 out to a ProRes 444 external recorder, taking this a step above 10-bit 422 HQ of FS7.

Maybe that's the 'secret sauce".

Who seriously believes they would do something like this?

 

[Mitch Gross]

My favorite product that never was to be was something Panasonic called the VariCam II. This WAY predated the two VariCam models that came out last year. As Jim can likely attest, the VariCam II was the oddest design ever cooked up by a major manufacturer. It was HUGE, and shaped like a giant letter Q that sat on the operator's shoulder like a pregnant albatross. And this was a 2/3" sensor camera.

There have been quite a number of others over the years, including some that went public. Anyone remember the Thompson Infinity? That actually could have been an interesting camera.

Well, rejoice, folks. It's officially out.

(and, yes, HDMI 2.0 out to ProRes 444)

Yeah, looks good. 120fps in 1080 but only 30 fps in 4K. Canon Log2 and 15 stops of dynamic range.
A new form of high bitrate H.264 (XG-AVC) for internal recording and RAW output (including simultaneous recording
to both internal as well as external). Enhanced Dual Pixel autofocus. Now we get to wait on what the price will be......

£11,599.

Oh, the U$?

Still waiting for confirmation.

Edit £11,299, as per later posts.

 

[alaskacameradude]

The XC10 looks kind of interesting as well as a small B or C camera.

 

[andykwilkinson]

Launch price is £11,299 ex VAT (so plus 20% tax in the UK) - available 3rd quarter (of 2015).

The person fabricating these specs certainly wasn't a storyteller and is more of a gearhead/engineer.
