User Posted July 8, 2016 Share Posted July 8, 2016 14 hours ago, Shield3 said: Have you shot both in C-log and color corrected / graded? The C100 is top notch IQ wise. Having a tad more DOF and quick push button AF, built in ND, zebras, waveforms and the ability to punch in while recording are very important. In fact, I'll bet if you shoot the same scene and downscale it to 1080 you'd never be able to tell which camera took what. Focus and better exposure tools IMO always trump everything else. I have 4k sets here - unless you plan on cropping/panning quite a bit I personally don't see the point of having the hassle of huge 500 megabit files, large memory cards, no EVF, no ND, poorer ergonomics, poorer battery life (if you get the larger Canon battery for the c100). The 1080p60 from the c100 KILLS the 1dc's soft 1080p60 mode. I hope whatever you're shooting doesn't move much, as holding focus at 1.3x crop is pretty tough. For DOC work I'd throw on a STM lens (10-18) or even the 18-35 Sigma stopped down a bit. But hey, to each their own. c100 has MOJO for days in C-log mode (and Wide DR is pretty damn nice too). Just my opinion of course. I couldn't have said it better and this is exactly why I went with the C100 MkII instead of the 1DC and a SmallHD. And, in my style of shooting I often love to just let the camera roll knowing that eventually something interesting IS going to happen. At the end of the day I know that the story I'm telling is more important than the minute differences in image quality. But I love the idea of having the stills and video in one camera... if it only had decent sound options. Alas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who needs the OVF or rear little Casio LCD. 3000$ is amazing... 51 minutes ago, Michael Coffee said: It looks crazy! like a skyscraper or something nice The 1DC is a LONG and SLIM camera! Nothing funnier than how it looks with my Ninja Blade on the hot shoe. VERY awkward to hold. Two rails, with the blade behind the camera (offset to the left to uncover just the grip and just obscure the LCD portion) makes a very camcorder like package for me with a lens attached. With a big 5" LCD on the back with Zebras/Peaking/Waveform etc. I just need to find or custom make some very short HDMI cables. I really hate cables.

Luke Mason Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 I wish Canon would offer a major firmware update for 1DC sometime in the future, just like what they did to original 7D. Dave Maze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably should have thought about that. I'm an LA boy living in Nashville TN. I'm in Birmingham, AL Dave. PM me sometime if you're in the area or need another 1dc!

Yeah now that I think about it, reliability is priceless when you're using it for big jobs. I don't know if I'd take the risk knowing that is was drenched in water.

Guest Ebrahim Saadawi Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 The sensor cleaning mechanism is probably just jammed, and enabling it makes the camera shut down. So disabling it in wrench menu and using the camera regularly for video should be absolutely fine. It's a tank after all and still a Canon, so can be repaired anywhere if you want the OVF cleaned or the LCD replaced. If I weren't living where I am I'd have taken it immediately. 2900$ is just non resistible, like the price of an a7 camera and it's a 4K shooting 1DC!

Dave Maze Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 Took this photo with my 1D C today with my CONTAX Zeiss 50mm f1.4. I've been shooting stills with an X-T1 for a while now as that was my only stills camera.... I forgot how much of a pleasure it is to shoot with a dslr! I'm buying a manual focusing screen to add to the camera to help assist me with all my manual glass. I don't own any EF glass at the moment. Just my duclos modified CONTAX set with EF mount mercer and Liam 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the thing with the 1DC, the colour and overall image rendition makes anything look cinematic, even a simple picture of a dog on grass, What Picture Style are you shooting the stils/video at? Or just going the Raw->Lightroom/C Log->Resolve routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shield3 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I have offered to sell my LCDVFE by Kinotehnik to Dave - it's a must have for this camera. Can't wait to see future pictures of the entire setup if he decides to buy it. Here's a screen grab from a guy using the 1dc + the LCDVFE (and a mic): From http://www.hkarlsen.no/2013/09/the-canon-1dc-and-kinotehnik-evf/ Dave Maze 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
