That's so disappointing. The C100 is beloved and it's painfully obvious that there is a position for a C100 Mark III below the C200. Take a C100 II, give it internal 4k and a touch to focus LCD, then be done with it. I make my living filming weddings on a C100 with the handle removed and a VideoMic Pro in the hot shoe. I don't want anything bigger (i.e. C200) or the hassle of an LCD that has an external cable (i.e. C200), and certainly won't pay $7500 for features I don't need (i.e. raw, SDI, etc.) in a market where I have better options at a better price (FS5II). Most of my peers in the wedding video industry or doing freelance work are shooting mirrorless because the equipment costs fit their revenue - professional photographers and videographers make about the same....photogs get a pro level body at ~$3500...that's about what videographers can justify, too. But then there are others like me using C100s & FS5s because we're willing to pay ~$5k for built in NDs, better ergonomics, and a more reliable shooting experience. When that prices is up at $7500, we're out.
All this makes me cringe thinking about Canon's video strategy....pulling out of a market where they're dominant (entry level cinema cam, sub ~$5k) to compete in a saturated market they're extremely far behind in (mirrorless).
Canon - What's the upgrade path for people like me who picked up a C100 II for $4k? I need internal NDs and the ability to connect XLR every now and then. Oh, you don't have one for me unless I pay nearly twice as much?
Maybe a C200 price drop is coming. I might bite at $6k. I just can't imagine how Canon expects to compete in this space otherwise.
