C300: Is anyone shooting RAW?

With all this talk of the C200 and Raw, I have become curious if anyone is shooting raw on their C300 MkII?

I have not found very many samples of Raw.


I've had my C300 for about a year and have been very satisfied with it (minus the usual gripes), but have never shot Raw on it.


How has your Raw experience been?
Any Samples?
 
I shot RAW on Red and the 5D3 with ML. Zero need or motivation to shoot RAW on the C300 II. Just shot in a dark club on the 1DX II in 8-bit 420 1080p with my custom picture style and it looks amazing straight from the camera.

Maybe if I could see a difference on a large theater screen, RAW might make sense for a narrative.
 
I've shot RAW(4K) only twice, at client request. It was on my F55, not a Canon. Both times in controlled indoor, lit situations. First time was green screen EPK interviews for a major movie and the second was actually for Sony for use at "a trade show". The Sony deal was for a huge screen and HDR, I believe. I think it was probably overkill for the green screen, though.
 
C300 MKII seems like a doc, rather than a narrative, camera. Quick turnaround, efficient codec, internal recording, rarely a need for Raw.

I'd say it's a very nice doc AND narrative camera. I personally don't see any limitation with the internal 4k XFAVC files.

The only real limitations of the C300 mkII in my mind are high speed/slow motion.
