Canon C700x: New information. Explosive specs.
- EOS Bodies
- 6 Replies
Just got this information from a pretty reliable personal friend (he's in a position to know),and he would never lie or fabricate to me but again he might have been lied-to, I highly rate its reliability but nothing 100%, lets say 80-90ish%
Anyhow the supposedly C700x specs are:
-Top of the Cinema line: alexa/Red yet in Small C300-like form factor
-New sensor (size in-between aps-h and FF), with 4096x2160 resolution, Global shutter, 15 stops of DR, with still high lowlight performance as previously or better
-New recording compartment (removable and connect to body with a thunderbolt input) that can take 3 New Canon Drives media (1, 2, and 3 TB available) or 3 CFs.
-10-12-14bit uncompressed raw, Mpeg 8-10-12-14, 4:4:4 bit compressed (800mbps to 50mbps) in any container (mov, mp4, xml) basically ALL compression codecs options available from 8bit 422 to 14bit 444 raw internally to the 3 new drives which can be configured to 3x3TB=6TBs (and externally too)
-4K 60P, 2K 120P, 720p 150p, SD 600p
-Body is longer in bottom to accommodate the recorder unit and 4 XLRs at bottom instead of top handle (now saved for just the LCD), body is a beefed up C300 in general.
-Weird emphasis on metadata with tons of specs
-Emphasis on skin colour in lowlight situations (We see faces in the dark)
-EF Cinema primes cover the sensor, and all Canon EF photographic lenses (so will be available in EF as well as PL). New EF-X ciinema zooms and EF-x cinema primes coming also with a weird emphasis on metadata
-One small internal battery pack lasts 4 hours with maximum features enabled
________
Believe it? I certainly HOPE it's true! We always say there's no such thing as perfect camera, but this one looks like the worlds first ''perfect'' camera, over every other competitor on the cinema market (alexa/red), but remember if it's true, it will be priced accordingly (think red/alexa/varicam/f55 range), so there definitely will be a lower-end C300 MK II as well to fill that gap. This one just seems to be aimed at the highest end market.

Super stacked teleconverters: Life @ 1880mm

So as I perusing the forums recently, I again came across a thread mentioning stacked teleconverters. I think I tried this once before, just for fun, but my lens collection has grown since then. Here's what I tried:
Nikon 300mm f/4
Nikon 1.4x TC
Canon 1.4x TC III
Canon 2x TC III
Canon 7D2
I put all of these together, using a 12mm extension tube & 20mm extension tube. My focus range was maybe 3' - 40', with an equivalent of about 1880mm @f/16. I had to shoot where the sun was shining or else crank my ISO way up. Focus was completely by hand, and I used a monopod to stabilize things. All said, it was still pretty hard to get a shot that was focused correctly and didn't have camera shake. Purple fringing was crazy bad. Things generally looked better in B&W, and it was probably best if you didn't zoom in on the photo much. But, all that being said, here are a few photos I ended up with:

Hi!
Im in such a happy position right now that we (me+the wife) are about to move into a bigger house which has the option for a small home studio. Im very excited and currently looking for some decent home studio light sets.
I usually prefer to buy quality products that last a bit longer and are better in use. After doing some research I've found that quality studio lighting kits can be quite expensive. This has caused me to look into the 2nd hand market.
I actually got a pretty good deal on a Multiblitz 250 studio kit with 3 head units, stands, umbarellas, syncs and some reflectors - all in a aluminium casket. Does anyone have experiences with this brand/kit? My friend has offered me this so I'd be quite confident buying from him.
Tips and suggestions are welcome. I cant wait to get my hands on some lights and start working and learning!
