Re: C300 upgrade worth it?

In what I plan to do the need for 4K not really an issue. To be honest all my potential competitors (of which there are only a few) have only just started releasing things in HD and on Blue Ray in the last 12-16 months!
Other than that I do see what you mean.

I have been chatting with Nigel after he messaged me saying he had one for sale. I have just about worked out how I can get the cash and have emailed asking if he is still interested in selling but I haven't heard from him in the last couple of days so I don't know if the sale is off or he's just busy. It's good to know you have seen his C300, not that I had any reason at all to doubt his description. If we could come to some arrangement then it makes the prices difference between his used C300 and a C100 + Ninja very small and would enable me to get the C300 provided he's not sold it by the time I get the cash sorted.

One other thing. Nigel Barker in Norfolk was selling his nearly new C300 in the classifieds on here (not sure if its still listed but please check) so that might give you something to think about. I've seen/handled his C300 and it is exactly as he describes it.

Edit: Just checked and Nigel's C300 is still listed. It was posted mid-Dec.

My C300 has just been sold via the Classified forum here on DVInfo. It's next gig is destined to be filming elephants in Sumatra which is quite a change from weddings in Norfolk:-)
