XC10 Mark II or an XC20 would be a replacement. An XC10 / XC15 is just like the XA30 (standard model) and XA35 (extra port). It's all in the name. It would be a big break with tradition for Canon to make a major change on a 'XX-5' model.

D4S you mean Stan! The ISS has so far seen a C500, 1D C and RED Dragon so far to my knowledge.

Oh good... we are getting a handle.

I thought that but why have 1 XLR jack... Needs 2

STILL the same camera which is very sad but you are being too harsh on the original Handle never rotates accidentally and I've shot a LOT with it so should know Easy to break plastic lens? Nah, it's very robust as is the whole camera The zoom does fall out on a drone and the gap between handle and body IS to narrow for sure, that I agree with you on. Very common to have mic on top of the camera Look at the positives... superb stabilisation, superb 1080p, best codec on the market for the price, it is like a mini C300 Mark II, ergonomics can be very satisfying

The C300 has an excuse, it is an old camera that does a 4K sensor readout. To do 1080/60p from the F3, sony just has to read out 2 megapixels worth of data at 60fps The C300 would have had to do 8 megapixels - 4K 60fps which is a but much to ask from 2011 tech. Now they have an updated cam, the slow-mo is still crap.... that's more of a worry!

Various sources have suggested that the C300 Mark II is having difficulties coping with the run-away success of the Sony FS7 on the rental market. Is it truly being left on the shelves? EOSHD analyses an unexpected situation... Read the full article

Canon and Nikon do have some serious robustness going on. Sony and Panasonic not quite there yet. Fuji and Olympus closer though with their high-end mirrorless

Really, quite a strong precedence then So where is the camera? Are they hiding it? If they go to the effort of putting SDI on there, but not Dual Pixel AF, I might hand Canon some kind of end of 2016 award for being Best Troll

Consider the Panasonic GX85. It's far and away the best of the cheaper cameras in 2016. I have the D5500 and the image is nice, closest to A7R II Super 35mm you can get if all you need is 1080p and want to put stuff on Vimeo. Only if you're pixel peeping the image will you find it different in terms of detail. The colours, codec and dynamic range are VERY similar looking. Yet the D5500 is much cheaper than an A7R II. It doesn't have any moire or aliasing problems to any meaningful degree and is a very clean image. However the GX85 just takes things to a whole new level for a similar price. In-body stabilisation, more flexible lens mount, Speed Booster, 4K, proper video shooting aids, EVF, the list goes on... You are getting a LOT more for your money with it.

Ah so I see what is happening. C300 is everywhere and cheaper. Sony FS7 if you need slow-mo C300 Mark II butts up against the higher end RED and Alexa stuff, whereby you may as well rent one of those instead. It is kind of in no mans land and a victim of the C300 and C100's continued popularity. Canon have blundered - ooops.

OK, now that is interesting and quite unexpected. I thought the C300 II was well received. I always knew the 1D C was left on the rental shop shelves for the most part, but the C300 II seems to have everything C300 users were asking for aside from the slow-mo spec. Maybe it will take a big Cinema EOS model to crash and burn before Canon realise the error of their ways with the DSLRs and how they have ignored the competition from Sony. They have unnecessarily let the FS7 into the market big time and it will hurt in the long run. A good job most FS7 shooters are using Canon EF lenses otherwise the situation could have been even worse!

C300 Mk II a flop? Really? It will be rented and used and bought until the cows come home, just like the C300 was. Look, I am not in agreement with Canon's strategy, I don't think they need to protect the Cinema EOS line from their stills cameras. And sometimes it just makes them look stupid - protecting the 1D C from ITSELF by not adding peaking!? IT IS A CINEMA EOS CAMERA!! But it seems that is what they have chosen to do...

They won't do it. They are protecting their margins. If a big rental house got a lot of demand for a camera like that, they might order 100x DSLRs for $5k each, instead of 100x C300 Mark II's for $15,000 each At least that is what Canon THINK I don't think it works like that. I think they're idiots.

It's in the edit suite Italy was fantastic.

EditReady is by far the best.

Are they still banning EOSHD links? What other sites are banned? I can't test it as they have banned my forum account as well!!

Whether to sell my 1D C... the question keeps haunting me. I love this camera. However it is one of the most expensive pieces of equipment I own and the MJPEG codec makes for some tricky file sizes. It also has a LOT of competition now and I have the A7S II. I simply love the image though. Better than the Sony FS5 especially in low light. Lovely film like fine noise grain and fantastic colour. As a stills camera obviously it is the ultimate Canon on the market and very similar in capabilities to the new model even though it is now a 4 year old camera. The more pro cinema cameras I shoot with (C500, FS5) the more I miss something that does video AND stills in one small body. Now the bullshit aspect comes into play - Bullshit 1 - Canon keep murdering the price. Down to $5k new now. Bullshit 2 - Canon can't seem to give us a replacement. Bullshit 3 - Dual Pixel AF, what a tempting carrot! Oh... No Canon LOG, same old MJPEG and $6k for a new body. Hmm no thanks! Bullshit 4 - So much competition to this camera... everything and everyone is shooting 4k these days... even Philip Bloom's cats! When the 1D C came out it was the only one. 2 years before even the GH4. Bullshit 5 - If I sell it, what the heck do I use my Canon glass on for stills!? A7S II AF is pathetic!

The Canon 1D C has seen dramatic price falls from $12k to $7k and finally to $5k. Now the camera is listed as discontinued at UK pro-video retailer CVP. Read the full article

Knowing Canon they will just change the badge and chart $12k for it!! And add a 4K HDMI output

True, true

Indeed EOSHD was NEVER about the $25k+ stuff and Alexa, it has always been a majority community for affordable gear and always will be. Anyway good luck taking your Alexa to a stills shoot Policar

Full frame is a stills format. Sure there are CINEMA cameras of similar proportions, Vista Vision, 65mm film, etc. But there are no full frame video cameras (NEX VG900 does not count, as it was rubbish!!)
