More on the Upcoming Cinema EOS C300 Mark II

[leGreve]

The problem with Canon in videoland is that they can think their products are so and so good.... But they are still overpriced even with the quality they have.

For the current speculated specs vs the FS7 I would only pay a tiny amount more for a C300 II.... Were talking 1000 dollars more tops.

The output from the FS7 is amazing for its price point......

Amazing specs, hideous image.

Whereas C300 Mk II will have the best 24fps 4k internal video of any camera (with no need to debayer in post) and a better image than the Alexa rather than uggo magenta skintones and clippy over-saturated video highlights...

I'm sure others will agree with you. Smart producers won't. This thing is BOMB. Except for the few bizarre omissions. And if you need HFR.

True that.... I didn't see the leaked announcement yet... That is better than the FS7... Will be interesting to see how it comes along. To be honest I'm liking it, if only they could do a proper shape for the damn thing.

EDIT: wait... I take that back... price is almost twice of the FS7, and if you want / need that real slow shot, you can still only get 100 / 120 fps?

I won't be surprised to see people shooting on this, but the price point is just ridiculous once again.

Maybe I'm missing something, but why can they deliver a cinema camera with 14+ stops of dr, but can't manage that on dslrs's? Too much info to capture with a dslr? Something about 14 bit files? Please enlighten me.

Dual gain path. As I mentioned weeks ago.

It will be interesting to see if Canon use that tech on DSLRS or reserve it for EOS Cinema. Then again, maybe EOS Cinema is where Canon will look to recouping their R&D costs in sensors?

Crossing fingers that it's in the new 5d4
