Initially I was very excited by the the rather gnatty looking Canon XC10 but having spent some time analysing the specifications and ergonomics it would seem that I might actually get more bang for the bucks from a Panasonic GH4 + Metabones Speedbooster which would enable me to use all my Canon and other lenses I've acquired over the last 5 years, and also record full 4K.
I think what is putting me off is the inflexibility of the monitor panel, only an upright hinge movement and the lack of a decent viewfinder. I'd love to have a small Cinema EOS camera that records in Canon Log and I have no doubt that the picture quality will be superb but this might now the one I choose on this occasion.
However I'm going to look at the XC10 and C300 Mark 2 early in June and despite its shortcomings I might well change my mind as the thought of going back to a DSLR type camera seems very retrograde, I'd have to start using my pack of ND filters again!
Any thoughts?
