hey guys Brandon here and we're checking out the huge Canon Booth here at NAB
2015 lonus techtips coverage of NAB 2015
is powered by Sennheiser Kingston SD
cards and l.com as I'm sure many of you know Canon
started the DSLR Revolution when it came to video with the 5D Mark II that camera
became the standard for lowcost cinematic video naturally that simple
video feature made its way to other Canon dslrs over the years until Canon
finally thought the natural step forward was release these bad boys their Cinema
line of cameras the c100 C300 and c500
and this is their newly announced C300 Mark 2 in all of its Glory now to give
you some context Canon started shipping the original C300 in January of 2012 so
this new version has been long overdue and lusted after many camera owner
operators have been expecting huge improvements and I think for the most
part Canon has delivered on a lot of what people have asked for the mark 2
supports 4K video internally recording to seast 2.0 cards and and it now also
has the ability to shoot at 120 FPS in
both 2K and HD while my experience operating the original C300 is limited
to a handful of times this camera definitely has the little improvements in all the right places one of the
biggest changes on the Mark I is the brand new super 35mm sensor capable of
up to 15 stops of dynamic range there have been a bunch of physical changes to
the Mark I as well with some extra custom functions all over the body a new
OLED evf with an impressive 1024x
576 resolution with a 5,000 to1 contrast
ratio the Mark I also now has neutral density filters that cut up to 10 stops
of light for those unsure of what a neutral density filter is think of it as
sunglasses for your camera when it is too bright outside the other interesting
feature of Canon's recent cameras is the inclusion of their dual pixel autofocus
playing around with it on the show floor I was surprisingly impressed with how natural the rack focus is looked I can
see this being a very handy feature when you need to pull focus without an
assistant like we generally do with our videos now onto the biggest thing that
people are talking about for this camera the price it cost
$15,999 for the full setup a hefty price point compared to other companies
offerings for a similarly spec camera to me what you pay for when buying a Canon
cinema camera is a camera that is ready to shoot out of the box and has a native
EF lens mount Canon has built themselves quite a reputation for Quality Glass
there are many lens owners including myself that own a wide range of Canon EF
glass and to have a camera that natively supports it is a very big thing time
will tell how this camera does in the current market but I do believe Canon
has made many of the improvements that people wanted whether they are willing to pay for them remains to be seen thank
