Of course. But I’m a youtuber. All my canon related videos get twice as many views as non canon videos. So I do whatever I can and find anything I can to talk about canon cameras.

4K crop solve. C-Mount!!

@Sage I'm loving all the work you're doing on all this. I really respect you for that.

It's a shame Canon isn't doing what Sony and Panny are doing with their raw outputs... but whatever. The rig is actually a frankenstein rig that was based around Shane's setup ya! I have pieces from redrock, zacuto, and letus. I really love the handles on that rig. It's super heavy for sure...but works a charm. I need to get a good follow focus setup though.

@Ollywood88 I love hearing your thoughts and perspective on the C500. I own and love my 1DC and have been hesitant to get rid of it. But C500 with Canon Raw makes a lot of sense for me and my workflow. Im having to convert all my MJPG files to ProRes on a daily basis and its a pain. If I could natively dump my footage into FCPX and actually have RAW. ooooh man. I love the C300 mk1 and debated getting one as well...so having the C500 in addition to the 1DC would be a match made in heaven since they were sorta made together. So funny that it has taken this long for this tech to be obtainable enough for people like me. I think the C500 cost like $30,000 or something when it came out. I saw one on eBay for buy it now at $4500. Insanity. Here's a project I DP'd on using the C500 over a year ago I did. (The editors had to edit on a 720p timeline....)

DANNNG. Thanks for posting. Just bought the last one! ?

Did you make that? It’s great! Can you put the handgrip on the camera?

It’s been over a month now since the release of ProRes Raw and I’m seeing people like Caleb Pike and others doing tests with ProRes Raw and it’s gotten me really really excited. The usability of it seems to be unreal. It got me thinking... the two best options in my opinion for price and performance would be the C500 and FS700. Is it worth picking one of these cameras up used to try ProRes raw on? I’m sure BMPCC 4K will get an update that it’ll shoot ProRes raw eventually, but the C500 has never been cheaper and more appealing to me. Anyone have any thoughts or experiences with either camera? Here is a video from Caleb about his journey to ProRes raw. I can’t believe how well it holds up and I’ve been waiting for something like this ever since 2010 when I tried RED raw for the first time.

Canon 1DC is better than the M50

same sensor and af stuff. 300 is more usable IMO because the codec

1. I shoot by myself and with my assistant. We always have the SmallHD focus monitor on it. 2. I’ve always shot on gimbals with manual focus. I’ve always shot on cameras that only have manual focus. This is not an issue. It’s how I learned and how I’ve always shot. I just set the focus, look at my monitor and make sure the subject I want to be in focus is in focus, then I make my move. Very simple really. On the MoVI M5 you can take one hand off and change focus while you hold the gimbal by the top handle. You have to treat the 1DC like a 5D mkiii basically. Use a monitor or a Zacuto Z finder and you’re set! It’s what we all did back in 2010 and that’s all I’m doing now.

If money, cards, and computing power are no problem, I’d totally still go with a 1DXii and just shoot all 4K all the time. Get an iMac Pro and edit in FCPX probably won’t even need to convert the footage to ProRes. But idk. I need to test this. Apple store says you can bring a hard drive and do some test edits there. I’ll bring some MJPG and try it out on the iMac pro. I will say, we shoot all our videos in 4K on the 1DC and I convert everything to ProRes LT on my $1200 MBP and it works fine. Just takes a while to convert

Ya I’ve kept thinking about switching to 5d4. But I don’t wanna give up that full frameish 4K. But I think it probably would be fine. Especially with an 18-35. As for the GH5S... I’ve held off for the BMPCC4k!

@DBounce We just made a roundup about the 1DX II and 1DC and M50... it’s more on the beginners side, but even though I have my reasons for 1DC I think I agree with Brandon! Although, I did order a M50 and I’m looking forward to using that camera. Justin says it’s the cleanest looking 1080p he’s ever seen on a Canon DSLR. I hope a 90D happens soon with the same sensor and full sensor readout 4K with dual pixel AF!

1DC all day baby.

Can you mount any S16 C mount zooms on the GH5? I know on my old Pocket and obviously the Digital Bolex it worked...but I wonder if any of the old amazing vintage C Mount zooms would work on GH5 sensor without vignette.

@EOSHD_Twitter will you ever make a guide or test using HLG on the newer a7iii and a7riii cameras? I feel like EOSHD ProColor 4.0 should come soon utilizing HLG! I’m sure you’re waiting on a7siii to do testing.

Hey! He used my likeness in that thumbnail! I need to demand royalties!

Lol. Ive seen her before. I need to look away :P

Thanks for the comment John. Im curious to test one out. I was thinking of picking up a 12-100 with my BMPCC 4K and buying an EM1 mk2 with the 12-100 is a good deal so might as well pick that up as well. An EM1 mk2 as a B to a BMPCC 4k will be nice I think.

If you want to look at the a7riii as a S35 only video camera it has SEVERAL advantages over a6500 better ibis 2 hrs battery life no screen dimming best rolling shutter performance on any mirrorless cam better color science with HLG better 120fps 1080p My MENU function (create your own menu) better customizability with the buttons. more weatherproof

@Mark Romero 2 What he said.

Is there any real benefit to EM1 II to GH5? I guess color science and IBIS is better? If I were only shooting manual focus I guess its better huh?

If you need high res then def go for a7riii. The a7riii IS a better camera than the a7iii for video in almost every way (a7iii has sharper full frame 4k). But is it worth the price?....if you only shoot video...absolutely not. If you need high resolution stills....there is nothing on the market that comes close. SO if you were buying an a7riii for ONLY video...I would say NO...go for the a7iii. But for both. totally go for it

I’ve been so busy with the review channel I haven’t had time to work on it but I really want to. He’s such an inspiring dude!
