Jimmy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Now only $10,300 on CVP.... Another few days of currency trading and it will be a sub $10k camera. http://cvp.com/index.php?t=product/canon_c300_mark_ii_4k_video_camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another few days of currency trading and it will be a sub $10k camera. http://cvp.com/index.php?t=product/canon_c300_mark_ii_4k_video_camera In every one of my local rental houses in the UK... all of them have said the C300 II is never getting asked for. One of them even sold off their C300 II's. My primary rental house, Provision, said that they've had to buy more FS7's as it's BY FAR the most requested camera now. I feel more are going for the FS7 because of 4k60p and the much better slow motion options. Canon really missed the boat there with the C300 II. The massive price decrease of the C300 II isn't a coincidence. That said, I enjoy using the original C300. It's a very simple, no frills, always works kinda camera. It will be interesting to look at the used market for the C300 II in a year or so. IronFilm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I get the feeling the c300 mk ii might come into its own with this price drop... at $10k it is a steal and once it is in more hands... the reputation will grow. I think the people the would use a mk ii are still making cash with the mk i... but perhaps that will change soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can shoot mixed lighting, still get great looking skin tones. No 4k/60p is definitely a bummer, though. 3 hours ago, Oliver Daniel said: In every one of my local rental houses in the UK... all of them have said the C300 II is never getting asked for.

But I just got an answer from Canon USA that says that I should be able to record 4K RAW 60P with the Odyssey 7Q+. Anyone can confirm that ?? I'm quoting myself because Canon edited their previous post on Youtube. Now they say it only outputs 4K RAW 30fps. I had no response from Convergent Design who still state that the 7Q+ can record 4K RAW 30 fps. I tend to trust Canon more on this one... Also I went to my dealer today and tried the C300 mkII. Damn it's heavy and there's just no easy way to film handheld with it. You really need the total rig + EVF. I'm going to rent a FS5 + Shogun to see how I can make the image work...

neosushi Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I can't imagine walking around all day long with this thing like I do with a gh4 or a classic dslr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IronFilm Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 My experience with the C300 mk1 (which is similar shape/weight) is I really wouldn't want to use it all day long, unless I had to, even my F3 is better suited to rig up for this, and an FS5 would be far far nicer than either. neosushi 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnomesteel Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 I'm pretty sure this will be our next camera. We're a small team, usually only two man crew, and that price brings it into our range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuku Posted July 7, 2016 Share Posted July 7, 2016 Has anyone here in the U.S. ordered from CVP? I'm liking that currency exchange rate. This also might be our next camera, the only thing holding me back is the lack of 4k 60p - it sounds like it can't do it to an external recorder either.

Guess we'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
