I never downloaded the updated version, the original has a lot of strange errors, its hard to use.

Curious about the exact type of AF issue you were having with the first copy?

I probably shouldn't have even mentioned the possible issue (basically missing focus occasionally on simple scenes with lots of contrast) since I didn't fully test...it can be anything at this point, but I'm leaning toward my theory above. I mainly wanted to ask about the production dates on the lens, because the irregularities (a pretty old production date from a store that turns over stock often, plus the debris or other anomaly inside the lens).

1 hr cool down gave 9mins 7s recording....

Thanks! A replacement is on its way.

I think this has been the most reasonable post about this topic I’ve seen, so thank you for keeping it sensible.

you have quite a storm happening in your head, i would be worried too if i had bought it but i always knew never to be first to buy and i never have.

I have the storm in my head? I bought a camera I am happy with and am not spreading complete BS I heard from some biased internet source. I'm not worried in the slightest about my decision. I don't buy anything to be first, I buy when a tool is going to work for me. Until the R5, I always bought refurbished.

So stop trying to invent reality, whether from idle speculation, or an ego driven perspective. You have made zero arguments that hold up to any scrutiny and are proving yourself to be irrational and silly.

Got this one in the mail yesterday and picked on up. I needed the reader and the cards get decent reviews so what the heck/ Now I have 2.

To change the subject, I'm not a vlogger and don't want to become one, but I have to wonder: using only Canon equipment, how would one construct a "perfect" vlogging camera? Maybe Canon sees the M cameras partly as their entries to the vlogging world, a world for which R cameras and lenses are just too big.

They will sell it to the army to be used by bombers

The infamous Andrew...
I can't post link here without getting banned.
Try "EOSHD" under google
It's actually the same Chinese guy as last time.
There are plenty of new temperature measurement that shows that Canon did a great job at keeping all temp under control.
Just a software that time the video usage to shut it down.

alot of pyrometer

I'd be more interested in a protest but how many really care about this? It's always the same old story when it comes to "progress".

I did finally preorder the R6. I am still trying to decide 70-300 ii with adapter or rf 24-240 for some extra reach.

a problem is you don't want the security camera to be so valuable that people just come in to steal the camera

Not a problem if you mount it between remote controlled twin 50's .

WhatDoesMStandsFor said:

Yeah, the R6 does have it but it's in H265, which is a major pain in the ass to edit and not worth it in my opinion.

I prefer the 8bit file from the C200 than have to deal with the horrible H265.

Transcode to prores or dnx. Not that hard, just takes a little extra time. When i rented an xf705 i had to do the same thing. People love to complain, sheesh. Can't wait till h266 becomes mainstream and everyone will loose their minds all over again.

Any program or library that actually follows the standard and expects filenames to be in the specified format. It is beyond 100% certain that there exists code that only considers filenames that end with exactly four digits.

Can you name a few programs or libraries that do?

I got the same. I was hoping for better news than that. I ordered at 10:30 EDT and I’m wondering if I’ll get one before winter.

Jack Jian said:

So their interest in EF-M mount seems to show that the next M series will have serious video capability that production people will actually use it (along with their S35 A cam). This is interesting.

Hopefully it won't overheat. Since the sensor is smaller, might be a possibility. But then again, the hammer seems to never go away...

You have to use the AF tracking mode. There's a setting for "Initial Servo AF point for tracking" which lets you set it to the same AF point selected for single point modes.

I have my control ring set to change AF mode between single-point and tracking, so I can easily use single-point when I need a generic focus mode for one-shot or difficult servo situations, and then roll the ring to the left to switch to AF tracking mode. With the setting set to the same AF mode as single point, this makes it super easy to choose whether I want that single point to follow and track, or to act like a normal single-point.

I really like this shot. Well done, Aussie shooter.

Friends,

Before I purchased my Canon C200B, I extensively researched and watched most of the YouTube videos I could find about both versions of this camera. If you are in the midst of buying one of these yourself, here's a selection of my favorite most informative YouTube videos about both the Canon EOS C200 and the C200B that I hope will help you decide which one to get:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsHnqQEeLtihn5KkeU3DbM7lEjV_QyrTh

I was considering buying a Canon EOS R5 but after much research I decided to go with a C200B for basically the same amount of money ($100 more). I don't have any photography needs, so the C200B fits my YouTube channel needs. Following Rubidium's 10bit workflow was a big selling point for me (watch 'Canon C200: 422 10 bit Workflow').

I hope this helps other folks looking to buy their first cinema camera.

Cheers to your success!

Peace,
Ben

Was only replying to those replying off my initial comment. Canon has you on your knees, mate. Its perfectly fine to criticize your holy brand.

There have been plenty of superior products who lost the marketing war.

The classic example is VHS vs. BETAMAX.

Or Tucker vs. GM/Ford/Chrysler.

Click to expand...

As usual, lots of throwing around of 'marketing' without any basis in facts.

VHS vs BETA: Beta was more expensive for both the players and tapes, it's video and audio quality improvements were minor and not able to be discerned except on the highest end home theater setups, and most importantly, it's recording times were half of VHS which was a huge issue given the price of the tapes was also higher. It lost on price and features, not due to 'marketing'.

As for Tucker, starting a car company was hard and they engaged in some shady business practices which resulted in an SEC investigation. The demise of that company is again much more complicated than 'marketing' and they were actually innovative at that aspect for their time.
