cards and l.com as I'm sure many of you know Canon
0:15
started the DSLR Revolution when it came to video with the 5D Mark II that camera
0:20
became the standard for lowcost cinematic video naturally that simple
0:24
video feature made its way to other Canon dslrs over the years until Canon
0:28
finally thought the natural step forward was release these bad boys their Cinema
0:32
line of cameras the c100 C300 and c500
0:35
and this is their newly announced C300 Mark 2 in all of its Glory now to give
0:40
you some context Canon started shipping the original C300 in January of 2012 so
0:46
this new version has been long overdue and lusted after many camera owner
0:49
operators have been expecting huge improvements and I think for the most
0:52
part Canon has delivered on a lot of what people have asked for the mark 2
0:56
supports 4K video internally recording to seast 2.0 cards and and it now also
1:00
has the ability to shoot at 120 FPS in
1:03
both 2K and HD while my experience operating the original C300 is limited
1:08
to a handful of times this camera definitely has the little improvements in all the right places one of the
1:13
biggest changes on the Mark I is the brand new super 35mm sensor capable of
1:18
up to 15 stops of dynamic range there have been a bunch of physical changes to
1:22
the Mark I as well with some extra custom functions all over the body a new
1:26
OLED evf with an impressive 1024x
1:30
576 resolution with a 5,000 to1 contrast
1:33
ratio the Mark I also now has neutral density filters that cut up to 10 stops
1:38
of light for those unsure of what a neutral density filter is think of it as
1:42
sunglasses for your camera when it is too bright outside the other interesting
1:46
feature of Canon's recent cameras is the inclusion of their dual pixel autofocus
1:50
playing around with it on the show floor I was surprisingly impressed with how natural the rack focus is looked I can
1:55
see this being a very handy feature when you need to pull focus without an
1:58
assistant like we generally do with our videos now onto the biggest thing that
2:01
people are talking about for this camera the price it cost
2:06
$15,999 for the full setup a hefty price point compared to other companies
2:10
offerings for a similarly spec camera to me what you pay for when buying a Canon
2:14
cinema camera is a camera that is ready to shoot out of the box and has a native
2:18
EF lens mount Canon has built themselves quite a reputation for Quality Glass
2:22
there are many lens owners including myself that own a wide range of Canon EF
2:26
glass and to have a camera that natively supports it is a very big thing time
2:30
will tell how this camera does in the current market but I do believe Canon
2:33
has made many of the improvements that people wanted whether they are willing to pay for them remains to be seen thank
