The bias to me seems to be about new releases, but that sort of makes sense b/c that’s “news” (as is released at NAB and various camera manufacturers…etc…).

I’d like to see *more* Red coverage and less about D-SLR’s, personally, but that’s my personal bias.

I think I’m just going to engage cinema lock and view assist, be disciplined with white balance and exposure, and leave all options to post. That way as I get better working with the output in post I can revise my earlier work consistently, including techniques to match other camera’s looks.

I wonder if Canon was going to cripple the C100 more to protect the C300 and BMD forced them to give us the goods, just like the coming clean HDMI on the 5D3 (which I am sure was in turn delayed to benefit the C100). The Ninja is absolutely essential for it, just like an external recorder is for the C500 (and in this thread, the F55). But the Ninja is small and cheap and the media is too, you can just hoist it onto the shoe mount without the handle if you need portability, not too bad. The internal SDHCs are purely safeties…I doubt I’ll ever take them out of the slots. If I really need portability at sacrifice of quality, Hero3 black.

Im d@mn near sold on c100

The workflow is so so so nice…you can name scene/shot/take right on the Ninja and there’s no transcode time and the Ninja gives you decent peaking/zebra/false color and/or a monitor for the focus puller and it’s all set and forget. Media, 6 hours of ProRes 220MBit 422HQ on a $75 drive. Ridiculous. Effortless. Focus on the story and the shot and forget the camera ceremony. I think some people won’t like these because it’s too easy and denies them the bragging rights of how skilled they have to be just to pull off a 3 second shot and run it through post.

c100 canon log is more than capable of shooting a feature film, also what most people fail to realize is that if you plan on shooting a multi cam feature, it would require more than one camera. Basically you could get 3 c100′s with external recorders for under the price of one ALEXA, EPIC, F5 etc.

Black magic is ok but shooting style is not really practical , requires alot of tweaking and add-ons and most importantly as of right now it is a unicorn.

ALL i need to see is if the c100 holds up on the BIG SCREEN and considering that it has the same 4k sensor as the C300 then, i say it is more than capable of handling the big screen.

I’d expect the F3 will get dropped to under $10K and that will be the real camera to get. … until you try to edit 4K … ya right. 4K is a very limited market right now, even looking forwards. clean 1080 / 2K will be around for the next 5 years at least. never mind how many SD sets are still knocking around. … don’t care, not impressed

Gorgeous. I am completely satisfied…best low-light image and ergonomics for under $10K hands down.
