Canon Teases Exclusive Screening at NAB 2012

4k is nice, but I'd be perfectly happy getting the C300 image quality in a much cheaper camera. If that has to be a DSLR, then fine. I'll buy.

4k, yes. Better DR and low light performance than the c300? Doubtful.

Exactly. That's all they need to do to justify the difference in price. "This shoots 4k and is awesome, but the C300 gives you more range and better low light performance". Pros will go with the C300, indie filmmakers will grab the 4k camera.

I think people will still see the advantages in the C300, the built-in ND filters, built-in XLR inputs, HD-SDI out, external monitor that looks gorgeous and can easily be repositioned. I played with it the other day and was seriously impressed with the quality, it looked pretty damn amazing.

The CDSLR will be the compromise, with awesome 4k resolution but will require lots of add-ons to make it function like a video camera. This is fine with me since I've spent so much on rigs/monitors/external sound.

The show just got even more interesting.... Rumor has it that Sony is about to sidewind the C300 before it's even catched on:

FS700 to be announced.... 4K camera, same amazing form factor as FS100, build-in ND, 3G-SDI out.
If it has all the basics that the FS100 has (build-in mixer, 2 xlr ports, FMU dock, can use Canon lenses) and add the above, this will be an amazing camera... I even now dream that it will be able to shoot 2k 120fps... but that is just me

Suggested price point:

8.000 euro

Goodbye C300................

Now I'm even more convinced I wont go the Canon way.
