I purchased a C100 Mk I about 1.5 years ago and was ready to purchase a C100 Mk II to replace my 70D. However, once they lowered the price on the C100 Mk I with DPAF to $4500 I decided to go with...

Re: Lighting the Reception

I know! I saw this just a few hours after I wrote that I decided to hold off on purchasing them. It's very tempting as it looks like these lights would be a very good fit for what I need. I think...

Calibrate C100 Mk I LCD

I've owned a C100 Mk I for about 1.5 years and it's been an amazing camera. As many have noted, the LCD screen is not especially accurate in regards to colors, brightness, and contrast. I'm...

Re: Lighting the Reception

Kyle and Adrian, thanks so much for all of this information. It does look like the Switronix lights work very well and I think they will do what I need them to. I like the fact that the battery...

Re: Awesome video showing C100mkII tracking AF, Face Detection, Slow Mo

I think this is completely true and if all of us would really believe it then we'd be out shooting more and spending less time discussing which camera is "better" ;)

Re: Canon C100 Mark II -- Worth the upgrade?

That's definitely true, but in my case I've been perfectly happy with the C100 Mk I. I think if someone has been unhappy with lots of the C100 Mk I features and the Mk II will make there job a lot...

Re: Canon C100 Mark II -- Worth the upgrade?

I've owned a C100 Mk I for about 1.5 years and was almost certain that I would be buying the C100 Mk II as a replacement for my 70D. However, once they dropped the price of the C100 Mk I to $4500...

Re: Not sure if UHD is going to be like 720p was.

Dave, do you use the Seiki monitor as your user interface monitor when editing? Right now I edit with Premiere Pro CC 2014 and I have a 25" HP as my user interface with all of the windows, panels,...

Re: going wireless from ex1r to hdtv for ceremony

The products in the links that Adrian posted look really cool and I'll need to read up on them further as they could be very useful in many situations. In doing some further research, it looks like...

Re: going wireless from ex1r to hdtv for ceremony

If there's any way possible to use a 200 ft SDI cable instead of going wireless then that would save a lot of money and also give you a much more reliable signal since you would be hardwired in. If...

Re: Not sure if UHD is going to be like 720p was.

Steve, when you deliver the online content in 4K do you mean that you send a 4K MP4 or that you upload it to Vimeo or Youtube in 4K?

Re: How are you shooting closeup detail e.g shoes, flowers?

In my experience, warp stabilizer works very well in certain situations but not so well in others. The situations where it works best for me is when I have a pan or a tilt that is a little uneven...

Re: How are you shooting closeup detail e.g shoes, flowers?

I think my ideal set up would be one of the 3 axis gimbal stabilizers and a slider. This way you can get a couple of details shots using the slider and then for the rest use the stabilizer. I...

Re: Is anyone using Sony PXW-X70 for weddings?

Thanks for the responses. That all makes a lot of sense as I imagine there are so many different things that factor into the "DSLR look". It seems like a very cool camera and I'll be interested to...
