Canon ME200S-SH Multi-Purpose Camera

[spinkscapes]

Canon have announced the super 35 version of the ME20.
Should be excellent for low light.

Anybody keen or is the A7s mkII always going to beat this offering from Canon?

I was just saying the other week, all I want is a sensor in a box. This might be my dream come true!

This is cool, except for the price. $5k for a 1080 box camera is too much in today's market.

A typical Canon video camera then.

Wait till Sony drops theirs next week.. definitely will be more feature for same or even less $$$

I think we should just be glad Canon is releasing 1080p and not 720P. I'm sure they probably considered that at some point.

Actually, I can see them releasing 1080p using 720p sensor utilizing "pixel shift" technology. And, HDMI 4-bit output BUT you can get 8 bit version for $3000 more. SDI limited to 0.75-G speed.

This is a special camera for special applications (super low light for example), not a typical camcorder so I don't think that where you would use this, there would be any need for 4K.

Good point

There's something about this thing that I'm really liking!

I could imagine it would be great on gimbals and steadicam, where it's compact size/light weight would be very helpful.

But the lack of quick control options seems like it could be a pain.

I see they are doing the same 4k to 1080p downscaling as on the C100, so the image should look quite good.

maybe just the ticket for cramped, minimally lit "reality" shows..or pricey security cam with that canon mojo

Canon knows what is good for you. Just buy it.

Okay, so now you don't benefit from 4K in security or reality?
