Re: Price Drops on Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark II & C100 Mark II
But why so concerned about non-professionals getting it? I agree that it might help set your aesthetic/quality apart, but if you're a professional then you have to want to maximize your ROI. Wanting to pay more for equipment goes against that. I don't think owning the entry Cinema EOS cam will get you work like simply owning a RED will. I think if you're looking at the C100 you should want it to be as affordable as possible.
AndreeOnline said:Personally I hope for a C100 mk3 with a higher price to keep it out of the hands of the people here who wants the price to drop.
It's a lot more attractive proposition as a professional tool than a camera for hobbyists.
$6995 would be sweet for the next C100, given 4K, XC10 intra frame codec and preferably 10bit.
