Bit disappointed must admit. Oh well lets hope Red can save the day!

Thanks Chris! Enjoy LA. Looks like a great camera.

"The two years that were spent in research and development on this camera were lead by a member of Canon USA’s still photography EOS team."

Why?

It's a cinema camera.

Why has everyone gone mad and abandoned ergonomics? Yes you can stick stuff on it, or you can just design it properly in the first place. I've been waiting for a properly designed large sensor video camera but I guess the wait continues because the only real successful contender, the Alexa, is out of my price range.

Appreciate the info Chris! Now go and enjoy some Astro Burger :)

Re: C300 Discussion
 

The Scarlet could be the more interesting camera in a number of respects, especially if you need to shoot slow motion.

I assume Canon have brought out a range of accessories for the camera, which does seem to be a modular design. I assume that these will produce an ergonomic design of some sort, although it does seem to be something that is getting lost a bit.

Thanks for the specs and write up Chris, have fun in LaLa land.

I don't have anything constructive to add,
but like to type when I'm sad.

Re: C300 Discussion
 

Maybe the most interesting thing is the sensor. 4k, but read as 1080. The method seems exactly as was suggested to me, and I posted here: http://www.dvinfo.net/forum/new-cano...ml#post1693094

The speculation in that post was that this is how a cheaper model would read it - but a more expensive model would do a true 4k deBayer. Which leads me to think we can expect a further (more sophisticated) model with true 4k. Otherwise there's little sense in using a 4k chip - better to use something like Sony do in the F3 if all you want is 1080.

Re: C300 Discussion
 

I still don't understand how they omitted 1080 60p
No AE !!!!
No AF instead of having remote control AF of their lenses
Why 2 cameras instead of an EF with PL adaptor or vise versa?

I am disappointed.

That lunch you owe me is going to taste AWESOME! It will help to dispel the taste of sadness...

SO close, yet so far away from what I and MY business need...

Re: C300 Discussion
 

16K that a I didn't really have to spend is safe tonight. Well that is maybe until the Red unveil.....

Re: C300 Discussion
 

very much let down, its an OK camera with decent specs with too many features omitted for most everyday camera work. Too much anticipation for an average overpriced camera in todays world, oh well at least the wait is over so I know it is not the choice for me. Are we not filmmakers who need film cameras not souped up photography cameras, I dunno maybe i'm old fashioned

Re: C300 Discussion
 

The wedding and sports shooters can go home, their camera will be here next week.

Cheers.
