The red one can only be used with prime lenses.

This video confirms that it doesn't crop in Prores for 24fps and will downsample in-camera - I linked to the relevant time: The caveat is that this only applies at normal speeds (he says 24p) but that makes sense as I don't think it can read the whole sensor faster than the 40p and might not be able to downsample above normal frame rates either. How much slow motion do you do? The C70 certainly has some very usable options, and Canon sure know how to make a cinema camera, so the C70 comes from a long line of expertise so hasn't got any excuses beyond any dents from the cripple hammer that might exist. If I was to ever end up with a Komodo I'd be rigging it with the external batteries and lens and using the LCD as well. Did you see the Hassleblad Medium Format viewfinder attachment for the top LCD? That looks super useful and something I'd consider.

Yeah but the Canon C line is about the only older stuff you can actually handhold for long periods of time., Sure there are better cameras but heck they need to be on sticks to work. That is pretty old hat in this day and age now.

@webrunner5Well, as good as it gets under conditions with enough light, Don. Had to give your post the smiley for the preview image of the muscular youtubeer.:) Under lowlight condition the internal 12bit 444 HD/2K of the C300II shows severe artefacts that make a GH4 seem like the codec champion of the universe. Cine 4K internal seems to be sweet under lowlight from my experience but always test yourself, as a famous DP once said about hundred years ago. Anyway, original poster will not bother. But maybe some 12 bit 444 HD/2K lovers will care that a C300II will show problems, unless you record with an Odyssey 7Q. But then a much cheaper Sony F4 with extern al 10bit HD 444 or 422 would equal the exteral HD from the C300ii and smoke the internal variante.

Yeah seems to pretty much do everything you want, minus internal ND, internal RAW video, and full-frame 4k60. Also to be honest I’m not a fan of the 20,000 pinned posts. You have to either hunt through these or scroll down a lot to see who has most recently posted.

By the way I think your GH2 stuff was some of your best work. Magic camera, I even use your hack. Really Like it. Maybe in your younger days you had the raw desire to go out and do it. I know I just find all kind of reasons not to go out, some real at my age, but..

Potato Jet just posted a super lengthy R5C review. Far from technical but pretty thorough, I learned a few things about the camera like how you can set a button to toggle on/off the EIS. I really like this extensive button customisation, that's a key feature on Canons that I've always valued. His battery test results were also better than I expected even though you'll still clearly need some kind of external solution for a long day shoot. But now with R5's new firmware fixing the overheat, it has become a much more tempting option. For $1000 cheaper the R5 has IBIS, better battery life, fast photo/video switching, C1/C2 etc. R5C has all the video assist features and LUT import which is really helpful though. But losing IBIs feels like a giant step backwards, especially considering I mostly shoot EF primes with no IS. And then there is the C70 with its DGO sensor, ND filters etc. So hard to pick what model to choose from right now.

About as good as it gets I think. Great focus, great colors, and able to be hand held.

I would say the R5 does respectably well for a 45MP FSI sensor compared to those other cameras in that test. S5 definitely is a goat, if you don't need reliable video AF.

I know you can adapt a lot of stuff but if you want to have the best luck with the system you need to buy native lenses for it. So, you have to basically start from scratch. Sure, you have to do that with every system but damn when does it ever stop. I am not made of gold like you are lol. 😁

Canon C500 with 7Q, I have this best setup. The files grade perfectly. It does 12 bit 444 in 2k up to 60fps and it looks amazing. Only downside is the file size. I shot these with the above setup https://vimeo.com/228199666 https://vimeo.com/229622680 https://vimeo.com/229623629
