Rumor: Canon 4k super35 camera

How about "best picture quality under $20K?" It's cheaper than a F3 with S-LOG. Plus it is light weight and small. Great for 3D rig, Steadicam, etc.

Potentially the sensor is even better than F3. 3840x2160 should make for a great downscale to 1080p. Zero aliasing issues and Alexa-like resolution.

9 out of 10 of the Alexa footage we get in here is ProRes, not RAW. 1080p is fine for pretty much everything :)

Of course we all want it cheaper - but Sony will have to drop prices on the F3 first for that to happen.

My only problem with it is the darn 720p for 60fps - WTF! If they just had 60fps at 1080p...

Anyway, want to know about that "C" DSLR... :)

Who give a crap? This pile of a camera can still doesn't do 60fps in 1080p... what a joke. Another camera we should have seen 2 years ago selling for 3x the price of technology...

I do....What if it is pumping out 14.5 stops DR like an Alexa? What if it is clean at 25,600 like the 1D-X? What if it really does have Alexa like IQ?

If you don't give a crap about those sort of things, you are probably in the wrong business.

Well, that would all be great. But if you're a director or DP in the business of commercials or music videos... over-cranking is an ABSOLUTE must. 24p is SEVERELY limiting in this type of shooting. I wouldn't even attempt one if I didn't have a camera capable of at least 60fps.
 
Does anyone have that picture of the guy with the dslr meshed into a ENG camera? I'm trying to see if it looks similar to that dslr in the lens pic
 
Its been a long time since I wrote the letters "LOL"

I'm not sure why anyone would choose this over an F3, although I admit it looks kewl. I'm way more interested in the lenses, depending on the price point maybe this is the best reason to get into a C300 system, but at 16K for the body. . .nah.

The little DSLR sitting next to the C300 in photos is somewhat more intriguing. But, sheesh, based on the specs over at DVinfo a hacked GH2 is going beat this thing to a pulp.

I can hear the snickers and guffaws from REDuser already.
 
Oh christ, MASSIVE FACE PALM, you guys are so ridiculously stupid it is sad, stop listening to rumors, it does not have 1080p at all, there has been nothing announced about 1080p from the event, 4k has though, so why is everyone believing this bullcrap from DVInfo?

Sorry, but....LOL

Sorry but.... the DVX was the first to say this, AND EVERY CAMERA SINCE. It will be said 10 years from now again. It's boring, like RED and everyone else. Nothing is new, just new prices.

My feelings too.

I think we'll be waiting until the RED announcement. That's gonna be late for us UK guys :D

And I repeat, I haven't seen anything in the presentation to justify the price. Not that it might not justify it at some point, but certainly not yet.
 
We've got the 'corporate guys' canon sony panny etc, we've got the 'aggressive rebel faction' red, and we've got the boutique lil niche cam 'ikonoskop' we need a Ghandi cam company. Like RED amazing but so humble and smiley. We need yoda to make cameras. jedicam. I am obviously now 'avin fun.

Gosh. Feel free to fill us in. While you are at it drop in over at DVinfo and set them straight as well?
 
People here just want to hate it. People want to not like it. That's all I can reason with at the moment.

By tomorrow you all will feel like idiots. For sure.

If it's Canon-related, and it's posted on DVInfo, it's about as accurate as you can get. Chris Hurd doesn't post rumors, though a detail or two may be off. Generally if he posts it, it's true, and it's direct from Canon.
 
Its 4K

8:06PM Now we're talking about the sensor inside the C300. It's a full 4k sensor, with 1920 x 1080 pixels for the red and blue colors, and 1920 x 2160 pixels for green.
