hyalinejim Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 @hijodeibn Would a second hand C100 suit you? Lovely image from that. I know it's only 1080p but it's downsized from a 4k sensor, and the XC10 4k is just marketing rather than real resolution. @mercer I can send you some 5D3 ML DNGs if you wanna play with them to see if it'd suit you. @kidzrevil I think the gh5 will be something special mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im gonna wait a lil while before I make my decision My reasoning doesn't have to do with the ghosting issue at all. I was happy with the results I was getting from C-Log, I just miss my lenses too much and I cannot afford two expensive cameras. Plus, it seems the price of the XC10 is dropping rather quickly on the used market. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is possible you might go somewhere you can try more than one and test the ghosting in the store--just BYOMedia...like picking through avocados to find the ripe ones.???

I watched a few of your mk iii videos on Vimeo. They look amazing. I have the 50d and don't mind the workflow, but that camera is so limited and you really have to take care that it doesn't overheat, but great imagery nonetheless.

B&H won't let you do that. I don't think any camera store will let you do that unless you are renting the body. Once you open the box you bought it ?

I have been thinking about the C100, but I get used to work in 4K, the re-frame is something I really love to have like an option, I own a R1 MX and I am looking for a camera that allows me to do gun&run, I am starting a doc next year and I need to travel light with the camera so the R1 can not be used, if the C100 is reading from a 4k sensor, have anyone upscaled it to 4K?, how does it looks like?

There are products for my instrument you MUST test one by one---because consistent cannot be found--mail order won't work. You might be able to get more than one to test from B&H. At one point I owned 2 XC10s, and never had an issue with ghosting that I ever noticed. But I think I missed something in the exchanges on this thread. Am I to understand that EOS standard doesn't have issues with ghosting--or that ghosting is significantly reduced??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Pvandall just reported his new XC15 has ghosting too, and I put my trust in any EOSHD forum member before any Canon representative, it has been weeks since other forum members reported the issue and no word from Canon…. 1 hour ago, kidzrevil said: Its between the xt2,panasonic g80 & gh5 for me.

Mark iv is too expensive for what it is, really don´t know much about nikon, I know you like it, can you comment about it?, Fuji x-t2 could also be an alternative….but I think if gh5 is released on feb-march next year it will be wise to wait a little….but who knows, may be I will just press the buy bottom anytime for a canon anyway….:( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually like the 1080p from the D5500 better than I like C-Log... and I really, really like C-Log. The blacks are clean and even when there is noise, it's very organic. If it wasn't for the crop factor in the D500, I would have already owned one. But Nikon cameras aren't the most video friendly, but the image is worth it.

Cool, I saw they were on sale the other day. The original without the DPAF is $1799... so cheap. Btw, I heard the benefit of the c100 with an external recorder is imperceptible.

Btw, I heard the benefit of the c100 with an external recorder is imperceptible. There is a small difference, a C100 with an atomos is even better than a C300 (without atomos), and with prores 422 you can push further in davinci, and what I like about this camera is that it is so cinematic, if It has 4K will be my dream camera (of course keeping this price, $12,000 for a 4K C300 mKII is impossible for my wallet). BTW, the original without DPAF sold out in two days, so a lot of people took advantage of this price cut, I went for the DPAF because of I am also planing to use it with a steadicam, and I can now forget about the focus, less work, much better! webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
