Canon 4K Camera Makes an Appearance
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
This camera will work great as:
I won't bother comparing it to the GH4 until I see the video quality out of it. We might even see slow motion out of this little thing. Although, I really think this camera would shine for documentary work.
- A prosumer video camera
- A professional C camera
- A documentary B camera
- Aerial Video

If it's good enough for Jackie, it's good enough for me ;D.
Will wait for more details before making any further judgement...

Or they could just run with the EVF-DC1

People complained about Canon's lack of interest in 4K and now that they're finally showing it, people complain. Ah, typical Canonite behavior! Anyway, I won't comment much till I hear reviews and/or see more about this. I'm excited to see what it's about, but I won't be needing 4K video yet until I can get a computer that can actually process/store that amount data.

For dof it's equivalent to f7.6-f15.2. I think that's a valid reason for being disappointed. They could have a much faster lens in this camera. It looks bigger than the RX10, yet the RX10 manages to have a constant f2.8 (and I wouldn't be surprised if the RX20 has an even faster lens). Sorry, but this lens is a joke. Canon is terrified of making a camera that might in some small way take away from their much more expensive cinema line.

But Canon marketing department have consulted their panel of squirrels, and determined that the market has no need of cameras like the GH4, NX1 and A7s. Instead, what the market really needs are supersized point and shoots. After all, their DSLRs are twice as big as they need to be, so it follows that the real reason that the point and shoot market is tanking is because the cameras are too petite. They need to bulk up to compete! Or so the squirrels say.

Way too big for consumer quad copters.
And if it's for flying on small platforms like medium to large hex and octocopters, why doesn't the lens say it's got Image Stabilization? Even IS isn't enough for these relatively twitchy platforms, but every little bit helps.

Puzzling. If Canon thinks this is going to be a quad-copter alternative, they missed. The ideal would be more of a cube for aerodynamics, lightweight, APS-C for smaller lens bulk and a global shutter to eliminate jello effects.
The ideal quad-copter camera would have adjustable shutter speeds, f stops, and the ability to go full manual with exposure variations controlled by Auto-ISO. When shooting for movies, you don't want the f stop constantly changing the depth of field or getting a constantly changing "wagon wheel" effect. I've shot video since 1983 and there is nothing better that a built in ND filter wheel or a dial that changes the shutter speed instantly when needed.

+1 Precisely. The fixed lens decision makes it a non-starter for just about all videographers. It might work in a $500-600 pricepoint. The option to use a staggeringly wide range of glass with the GH4 has huge appeal. For some this is access to vintage lenses or to lenses already in their kit, Nikon or Canon.ajay said:
Like you, I'll stick with my GH4 and metabones adapter so I can use my Canon lenses.
But something in my bones tells me this is just a huge fabrication. I hope so.
