Re: By the light of the moon
Yeah. No. those reports were completely incorrect in my opinion. It came from an early test video where they had a 1dmark4 (not the 5d, and a somewhat faster sensor I believe) at 6400 and compared it...

Re: By the light of the moon
Hi Leon,
As I mentioned in your question in the "first impressions" thread the other day, the limiting factor is going to be the aperture on your lens. A typical wildlife lens is going to top out...

Re: By the light of the moon
I've just finished editing up the rest of this piece, and will probably upload tonite or tomorrow. There is a shot near the end of it where it becomes clear the importance of the sensitivity of this...

By the light of the moon
Last night, I took advantage of the waning full moon and grabbed a model friend and the C300 and headed a few miles outside of our small town for a little test shoot. Other than the occasional...

Re: First Impression
The ideal place for this would be the eos thumb wheel/set button. As it does nothing without a menu prompt at this point. The action could be set - scroll - set and provide a nice iso adjustment path...

Re: First Impression
Well, of course it's noisy. But the color is surprisingly decent. Last night the clouds cleared enough for me to shoot a little during the full moon on the 35mm 1.4 L 1/30 sec at iso 10,000. I'm...

Re: First Impression
There is a specific remap for direct input on iso, but I think it just keeps you from having to scroll through display options...it still requires you to hit the button and then switch to a joystick....

First Impression(s)
Maybe this can be a place for us all to share our initial insights.
I've had mine for a few days and right off the bat I'm impressed with how "hand-holdable" the c300 is. In it's base...

Re: What kind of lenses are you planing to use
We'll be using a complement of L primes and zooms...but that 17-55 2.8 IS EF-S looks appetizing. Could be the best everyday handheld lens. I've never handled one. I hope the focusing mechanism is...

Re: Do you plan to put c300 on a shoulder rig?
We've ordered the Zacuto C300 Stinger with the parts to convert it to a Recoil and the new "Blue" FF from Redrock. I think this is going to be a great handheld/shoulder mount camera with the...

I spoke to my dealer (in CA) yesterday and he said they were told initially to expect about 3 cameras each week, but that that has since changed. I guess we're number 3 on the list now...so hopefully...

Re: "Parallel" test short with MXFs
I downloaded and graded the mxf's from parallel yesterday. I also did a comparison with some similar footage of my own from the 5dmark2. I found the mxf's to be very malleable, applying pretty...

Re: C300 power and wireless
According to Canon, you get about 190 minutes out of a 955, with both the LCD and EVF running. The 975 will give you about 280 minutes. BTW, Canon has an excellent (and candid) FAQ page that answers...

Re: Jan. 17th Canon announcement
My guess it it will all depend on sales vs. production. Initially the price is apparently $15,999, but depending on what the dealer price is, that may move somewhat after the early adopters chew up...

When I read Mr. Roberts tone in the noise section, he seems to be clearly evaluating the both cameras with respect to the manufacturers claimed S/N ratio. In canon's case he clearly points out...
