Do any of you speculate that Canon will eventually release a 1dc 2 with Canon Log RAW video and other enhanced video features?
Thx.
Thx.

If they release a full fledged stand alone 1dc....then whats the point of the c100 mk2

Pascal Parvex said:An 1D C Mark II with 8K video would be my dream camera. I would use it as a one man band. I can't handle 8K, but I sure have use for tack sharp downsampled 4K. With CFast cards, even 8K (lossless compressed) Raw could be possible.
frankchn said:The sensor in the 1DX2 cannot do 8K.
frankchn said:For full 8K, you need at least 32 MP (8000x4000). You might get something close in a hypothetical C700 or C500 Mark II-style camera, with a correspondingly large price tag, but I suspect ^K will be here first.
frankchn said:Also, for RAW video, you are looking at 32MP * 14-bits * 30 fps = 1.68 GB/second sustained write needed. No CFast or XQD card can write at that speed, so you are looking at PCI Express-based SSDs or similar.
PureClassA said:I think what they really need(ed) was a 5-type Body (like the long rumored 5DC) or an XC-15 type body (but with interchangeable glass) to have a nice small form cinema capable/dedicated body that could record everything externally with C-Log. Sony has proven you can sell all types and sizes at different price ranges because video folks want/need multiple cameras for different scenarios and want them all to be able to at least record in the same friendly fashion (like externally direct to ProRes for example).
The 5D4 is a fantastic camera geared far more to stills than equally to the video market. Even just adding HDMI output for 4k would make it far more widely useful and accepted in that world. But Canon made it's choices for some reasons we will never be 100% sure of and I don't begrudge them for it. I just got my new 1DX2 and it won't even output 4k either. There's no technical reason it doesn't or can't. It was just some decision by Canon to "defend" the capabilities of the C line. I do suspect that as time goes on, there could well be a firmware update that will allow for the output in the same way they updated the firmware in 5D3 previously

Hallvardk said:I don't think the market for a camera like the 1DC (or the 1DC Mark II) is very big, but it's a life saviour for those of us that needs it. A camera like the 1DCII would possibly be an ultimate camera for the one man band that needs to shoot high quality video and photos. The 1DXII is close, but are missing some crucial video functions in order to make in perfect.
I hope for an announcement at NAB or later this year, with 10 bit 4:2:2 4K, sharp and crisp 120fps at 1080p (let's see how the 1DX Mark II delivers this, but I have some doubts), Clog2, peaking, zebras and clean HDMI out for all formats. I would gladly pay the 1DC premium for a camera like that. Maybe even hope for a XLR input or even SDI, but that's gonna take some serious engineering to fit in there.
