So what do you guys think of the c300?

Do you think it will replace all of our 5D's Gh2's and Af100 type cameras?

How do you think it compares to the Red Scarlet camera?


Who thinks they might buy one?
 
Gotta love the new line of EOS cinema lenses though.


I for one am keeping my GH2 I own two and haven't even hacked them yet. Love the unhacked 24P mode already, so once I get to hacking this camera will stick around.

But I'm glad Canon is making the c300 it looks awesome!
 
+1 on the glass. Might get some for my fs100, but I do not desire the camera at that price. Seems like it competes with the f3, which Im not interested in either. The fs100 is perfect for my needs. And they seem to hi light the 16000 ISo...which the fs100 can do well too. I'm still waiting for a camera to break the unwritten rule that 10 bit must be way over 10 grand.

The 5D mkIII might be killer with those new lenses....
 
The panel is talking about how freeing it is to have the options the 5d was lacking, and it's hard to go back. Gosh I hope so...it's 16,000 DOLLARS MORE than the 5d.
 
720p @ 60fps? So basically seems to be a F3 with wifi controls. It's promising to hear this is the start to a line of cameras, I hope this is the most expensive one and they'll go down from there.

Okay...it's onto the Scarlet announcement....
 
4k no XLR no headphone jack. Hdmi out is crippled. Joking. :-P


Too bad they don't make a 1080P version for like $3,000
 
From what I'm reading the sensor is 4k, but it can only capture or output in 1080p or less.

It apparently is going to cost more than a Sony PMW-F3, and lacks the following features the PMW-F3 has: (according to current info)
- Interchangable lens mounts
- 1080 60p
- Dual link or 3G HD-SDI for 4:4:4 (and 1080 60p)

Advantages:
- Appears to be smaller, useful in certain circumstances
- More robust internal codec


I'm not sold. They're a year late to the party.

F3 is not 1080p @ 60fps, only 720. The FS100 corners most cams in that area.
 
Wait $20k and only 1080P??? This is a joke.

It should be $5,000 tops.

It be funny if a hacked GH3 totally kills this camera next year.

You sir are incorrect. I'm a Sony F3 owner and it does indeed offer 1080 60p - but not on internal recording - only over the dual link HD-SDI output.

So yes, the FS-100 has an advantage for budget productions, but for those that can afford an appropriate external recorder, the PMW-F3 offers *uncompressed* 1080 60p.
 
Scarlet cant do shallow depth of field (tiny broadcast video style sensor)Plus I bet a scarlet with all the fixings will be way expensive too. Guess we will find out in a few minutes....

Ah, I should have said that...I meant in camera. Thanks for the correction sir.

If the Red site is down, here's a great summation of the Scarlet aka Canon Killer (hehe) announcements. No small sensor at all. Actually a great package for the price: https://mobile.twitter.com/#!/fxguidelive
