STOLEN-WHATS UR TAKE
I don't think making a C500MKII would be a great idea - there are enough Canon EOS cameras on the market (C200 and C300MKII being the most popular, although some still use the C100MKII and there are a few C700 around), not to mention the fact that the C300MKII was already an improvement over both the C300 and the 500 - I did shoot at least 4 gigs with the latter (in 2K 444) and I can assure you that the MKII is a better camera. The C500 was a bit of a failure as a camera system, since it needed an external recorder but Canon took for granted that everyone and their brothers were going to make one - alas, it was not the case and, in fact, for a long time the only viable option was the Aja KiPro Quad, which is what I used on my shoots and, pardon my French, it was a pain in the ass. Only when Convergent Design made the Odyssey 7Q+ compatible with it, the camera truly began to shine, but it was already on its way to obsolescence. The C300MKII was its true successor on almost every aspect (RAW recording is still kind of a mess, but, then again, the camera's manufacturers didn't offer a solution of their own and just waited for someone to do it for them).A Canon retailer that I know was actually disappointed when the C300MKII was first introduced because the manufacturer apparently didn't stress out enough the fact it was a brand new camera instead of an updated C300: to me it was very apparent, but I took the time to read the specs. A lot of people, including many professionals, didn't know and they ignored it for a while. To put it short, the only camera Canon really needs to put out is a C300MKIII capable of internal 4K RAW recording - just like the C200, but with the option to use better codecs than MP4 for non-RAW acquisition. Clog2 needs some tweaking as well.
