Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
This is great news! 4K and 10-bit raw together. I wonder what the price and weight will be after the external recorder is added into the mix. There could conceivably be a recorder that compresses the data intelligently.

Anyone know why these came out today? I though Canon had an event on Sunday evening & that is when I was expecting a release. Were they just too excited & couldn't wait any more?

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
It might have been out of consideration for NAB-bound journalists like me.
I would have been way too busy at the show if they had dropped all these PR's on Sunday evening. This way, I can get 'em published before leaving for NAB, which is much more preferable. |
Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
Maybe the unexpected release of the FS700 had something to do with it.

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
Also, NAB starts on a Monday this year. Weekend press releases make little sense. Friday is the day people release bad news in the hopes that it will be ignored. Thursday it is!

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
Exhibits opening on Mon. has been the tradition for as long as
I've been going (since 1996). Of course, I'm not sure what it was like before then, when it used to be hosted in Dallas. |
Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
These days I'm more involved in CES, which opens mid-week. Press day is the day before the show opens, with press events (from the big companies anyway) in hotel ballrooms while the booths are still being constructed. That makes more sense to me from a PR view. Who in the press wants to work on Sunday? :)
My first NAB was in Dallas, but I didn't realize it always opens on Monday. Lately, I go on whatever day(s) is/are convenient, and in the past, I'd go early for setup. Since my schedule has always varied, I didn't realize that NAB was so consistent! Anyway, Thursday makes sense for an NAB announcement to me. :) |

Ah, the meat grinder that is CES! But there's another topic...

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
I don't mean to suggest the C300 is not a great camera. In fact I'll evaluate it alongside the FS700. However, on the feature list they are fairly equivalent in my view. Pros and Cons with each for my usage. Price is the one thing that will likely force me to the FS700 side.

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
Makes me wonder who's in charge of design over there at Sony. Ugh.

Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
Robert, not sure what you mean, could you elaborate? You saying that the FS700 is ugly or badly designed?
|
Re: Canon announces development of 4K digital cinema cameras, lenses
On spec I think the FS700 looks very promising. But, yes, I think it's fugly. Very. But that would be a stupid reason to ignore it or dismiss it. But I would never use the word "sexy" to describe it, that's for sure.
