webrunner5 Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 If true, probably is, this is great news for us. Pushes the industry to move on, not sit on their laurels like they say. Also will be lots of cheap used C100 mkII's for us to buy, Cool! mercer and Dave Maze 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Maze Posted May 10, 2017 Author Share Posted May 10, 2017 Absolutely! Very excited about this camera and the one from Panasonic. It's about time for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inazuma Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 I predict a higher price point since its a new name. Probably similar to the old C300 when it was new or Sony FS5... $5k region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fredrik Lyhne Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 4K in a Canon Cinema camera you say. How does $ 8 000 sound? I'll bet they will continue to sell c100 mkii and c300 mkii at the same price as now and place this new model right in the middle.

JurijTurnsek Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 CR3 = 100% true, SAR has rating going up to 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kisaha Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 As people say, it will be placed between c100mkII and C300mkII, something between 6-8000euros (the old C100i and ii will lower their prices a bit, to fit the newcomer), and the new Panasonic may be at the same price range too and they will compete. An FS5ii must be due as well, it won't be able to compete with those new cameras. Exciting times, as Panasonic was out of the competition, and I was "bored" of the Canon and Sony offerings!

Was used to the 43rumors and sonyalpharumors sites which both go up to 5, thus a 3 rating is nothing much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members BTM_Pix Posted May 10, 2017 Super Members Share Posted May 10, 2017 3 isn't a great range scale for a rumour is it? That only gets you from almost certainly true to could be true to no way is that true. Or from Elvis is dead to Elvis is alive to Elvis is alive and spearheading an alien invasion of 9 foot cyborgs in rhinestone clad jumpsuits. I might start a rumours site with a Spinal Tap scale where the rumours go up to 11. webrunner5, IronFilm, Phil A and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The old C300 was 12000$ when it was released, right? I really think it would make more sense to release a C200 in the 5K$ region, just like I believe it would make sense for the new "mini-varicam" that is going to be announced in June.

If the C100 Mk ii is selling good, then why update the model? Now it's time, I guess. As easy as it is to release a new update every year, it cannot be a sustainable business plan for the likes of Sony. Even a two year cycle goes against tried and true product line development over the last 50 years. It really wasn't until electronic corporations that were cross marketing products between different divisions did this business model change and it only started happening in the past... 10 years or so. If Canon doesn't want to release a new camera every other second, they shouldn't have to just because Sony does. Slow and steady wins the race.

Sony and Panasonic have kicked their butts on the low end and Canon HAS to catch up. This isn't the 80s anymore. I love the fact that Canon is getting some competition. Competition makes companies better. Yay Capitalism! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
