Re: canon Eos C200 or other Cine camera for action
I think once you have a C200, you'll probably find the biggest difference vis-a-vis the XF100 is dynamic range. The XF with it's small sensor is not very forgiving - you really have to nail exposure...

Re: Panasonic EVA1 announced at CineGear 2017
Apparently only electronic IS. Interesting mix of features compared to the C200; missing the EVF, dual pixel AF and internal Raw of the latter, but otherwise looks like a very compelling package.

Re: New Canon Cinema EOS C200 and 200B
I expect this is to placate C300mk2 owners (like me) and shift remaining C300 units. Other than the more robust codec options, the C300 has little to recommend it over the C200.
The C200 is...

Zeiss Milvus with C300mkII
Hi guys,
When I bought my C300mkII I was disappointed to find none of my Zeiss EF lenses (25/50/100 f2) which work so well with the original C300 were compatible. Aperture control was lost and...

Re: C300 vs C300 Mk2 vs ?
Thanks Slavik,
Yep, that sounds right.
Yes Scott, the 3.5mm input is sent to channels 3/4 (even if the source is mono, it will go to both channels). You can adjust the volume level using...

Re: C300 Mark II CFast compatible card list?
Using 128gb Lexars myself with no issues. The 3500x variety. Have shot 1080 & 4K.
As Sayeed mentions, the 3600x are apparently optimised for Arri. Hope those cards work okay for you Scott.

Re: C300 vs C300 Mk2 vs ?

Re: C300 vs C300 Mk2 vs ?

Re: C300 vs C300 Mk2 vs ?
That's similar to my experience Scott. I've owned a C300 since it was released and it's been a superb tool for me. Just a really solid, reliable workhorse that delivers very predictable images.

C300 MK 2 lens compatibility issues
HI guys, I'm having trouble with 3rd party lenses and the C300mk2.

Re: Bag for C300

You can sit the C100 fully assembled with a 70-200 lens. There's also room for another lens standing upright and a few batteries. Not too much...

Re: C100 Mark II with Ninja
Well I agree with Pavel. It's especially obvious in flesh tones indoors. By eliminating macro blocking there is more detail. I don't find it necessary to zoom in beyond 100% to see in most cases,...

Re: Canon C300 Mark 2 announced - spec list

I bought an FS7 four months ago, thinking it would become my main camera (with my existing C300 becoming the B-cam). Much as I try to like it, I just find the FS7...

Re: Im about to make the jump....HELP!
If you can afford it you can't go wrong with the 17-55 f2.8 IS and 70-200 f4 IS combo - these cover off most situations for corporate / run & gun / seminar shoots.
Another option would be the...

Re: Comparing C100 vs. XF305

Re: C300 and C500 Firmware update

It will be a little trickier on the C300 as you'll have to give up assignable buttons (therefore...

Re: EF Lenses - which gap?
I second what Matt says on the 70-200 f4. I sold my 2.8 and went for the f4: money wasn't an issue, I prefer the weight / size / handling with the f4 - for me the 2.8 is too cumbersome / front heavy...
