True. Advances in technology are irrelevant and pointless because we used to get by with older equipment.

Mr. Milo said:NOPE. It doesn't even matter. It's irrelevant. The increased resolution magnifies the mistakes on screen. LOL.
Actually, there wont be a 6k GH5, they've already confirmed that its just 4k.douglaurent said:This Canon 2017 model pretty much does the same as the Red Epic MX I ordered in 2011.
Not impressive when at the same time there will be a 6K GH5 for 5% of the price of the C700.

That said, its hard not to agree. When a GH5 can deliver 4k/60 and internal 4:2:2 10bit for <$2000, its kind of crazy that Canon is just clearing some of these hurdles in their cine line. Its especially embarassing to see the XC15, which has a lesser sensor, lesser output options, and is priced over a GH5.

So I guess compositing = projection? Not talking about 8k projection. I'm talking about compositing.
Lol?

Mr. Milo said:I get it.
I didn't expect Canon to do that MJPEG stuff, but I somewhat expected them to withhold their c-log from DSLRs. Canon's DSLRs are stills cameras with high video abilities. Their vision for their business is different from us, the consumers. We want this, we want that, but Canon is like "Hell to the No. You want full frame 4K? You pay that. You want c-log? Pay more." It's business.
douglaurent said:This post shows the exakt problem:
Too many Canon users just seem to think that Canon products are a bit expensive.
In reality the prices would be justified, if Canon wouldn't artificially limit the specs in their products.
Canon does not implement a lot of important and convenient features, although they easily could do it.
It looks like they make innovation as slow as possible to milk consumers as long as possible.
Too many Canon photographers also don't seem to realize yet how great many video features could be for their photo work as well.

Yes, you do get it.
People seem to think Canon's objective is to please them, cater to their whims, and give them everything those people want. No...Canon is not your friend. Canon wants to make a profit and return value to shareholders (in fact, they're legally obligated to do their best to achieve the latter). Even if they cater to peoples' whims sometimes, it's only because they feel it's necessary to do so at that particular time.

I was struck by the fact that Canon does not have a truly 4K full frame video solution out there- at any price. Pretty amazing.
There is a way to cater to shareholders and deliver value to your loyal consumers- it's called being unafraid to cannibalize your own products Steve Jobs said it and did it. If he didn't, we might still be carrying both a click-wheel iPod and a flip phone in our pockets. If Canon pulled out the stops (no pun intended) and gave full frame 4K to the masses, they have no idea how many 5DIVs they would sell on top of what they already ship. Most people who buy the C300IIs would still buy them and all would be right with the world. This is really just a lack of imagination on Canon's part. But they are a truly conservative company.

Of course they do, they spend millions on market research whereas you know nothing

You miss the point entirely- they need to stop looking at the market research and make products that deliver value. They view shareholders vs. customers (at least DSLR video customers) as a zero sum game, and it's not. Everybody can profit here. They'd have tons more DSLR video customers if they offered a video feature set that blew away the competition. They just don't have the courage or imagination to take that risk.
Despite the arrow, I shall live, then die, then live again. Getting geeky, isn't it?

No you miss the point entirely. Canon are the number 1 interchange lens camera manufacturer in the world, they are also the number one SLR camera manufacturer, obviously their market research and subsequent product lines are doing something right. They have researched the feature set of what they see as competing products and believe they have got it right. History has illustrated they in general they are right. The cameras they release appeal to enough people and "deliver value" well enough for those people to pay, that you think they are wrong is nothing new, but they have proven you wrong for the last 14 (?) or so years.
Every time Canon release anything, from a $40 WiFi card to a $70,000 camera there is a long list of pundits saying it is doa, but that just hasn't proven to be the case.
