Used to be that you could count on Canon offerings to be at the top of their segment.
Canon's glass and high end bodies are great, but getting to be too big an investment, and the value seems increasingly questionable. The new C300 mk II will ring in at $16000, and the C100 mkII at almost $6000 is under-spec'd. They seem to keep holding back (the C100 II should have had Dual Pixel AF, higher frame rates, and better codec options). Even little BlackMagic Design is offering a lot for the $ in products like the Ursa mini.
Canon has nothing in a mirrorless, and their low end stuff is unremarkable.
I still love the 5D3, but will Canon do justice to the 5D4? I hope so. Canon needs to pull out all stops or Sony (and others) is going to steam-roll over them before long.
