webrunner5 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 There is a work around to get slo mo on a C100. Not a perfect solution though. But yeah you get it in the MK II. Pretty expensive camera yet. Well not really, but it is not the bargain it was a year ago with all these new cameras out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caveat: I was hired as a director and then ultimately didn't have that responsibility. Production drama silliness. So, not thrilled about the situation there or the final product, but you can see the footage. https://video.kpbs.org/show/reflect/extras/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 webrunner5, I just looked it up. Interesting method though it appears you need an external recorder. 18 minutes ago, fuzzynormal said: Knock yourself out.

Beautiful footage. Yeah Philip Bloom is the first one that I know of that found a way to do it. Probably from his past experiences. All he does is drops the 50i footage into a 25P timeline that I know of? The C100 is just such a nice camera. Amazing beautiful output using what is on paper a crap Codec. Doesn't make any sense.. Magic I guess. Canon seems to have a few like that LoL The original 5D was like that also.Crazy good wedding camera. Look at the 5D mk II. Dumb luck more than anything. God takes care of children and stupid ass camera company's Board of Directors I guess LoL. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they'd put it in a smaller body with 60p and PDAF, and IBIS ? I'd buy it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a Sony F3, and then sold it. I am just too used to the tiny camera thing. For real my takeaway after going through the camera craze is that my OG GH2 was fine for most projects lol. There are times when the new tech comes in handy. The Fuji XT3 is nice though, pretty much as nice as anything I can afford I would say. I am probably going to be doing a lot of weddings this year. Auto focus and all that BS comes in handy. Also thank you for the compliment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah I don't see why anyone that is serious about this stuff and has talent would keep limiting themselves with a camera is that is half assed at both things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is definitely true. I still think the GH2 has a very valid place in today’s filmmaking. And the X-T3 is obviously a great little camera but I wonder if a C100 with the built in NDs and DPAF would better suit you. They’re really not that big. And the FS5 is even smaller. And either of those cameras are great for wedding videos. 2 minutes ago, thebrothersthre3 said: The C100? I think he means hybrids are half assed. And he has a point.

Hell if you buy one with the battery charged all you have to do is throw a mike on it, a cheap SD card in and away you go. Don't need no 4,000 dollar computer to edit the footage. No spending all day to correct the colors, and hell if you get one with DPAF it might actually be in focus using a cheap ass EF-S lens. No cage shit, no battery solution from hell, just killer sharp 1080p footage. Not sure what else a person needs? Thomas Hill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fuji has pretty nice colors without grading, its actually the reason I switched over from Panasonic.

Built in ND's would be nice. I can't really say anything about C100 auto focus as I've never used it. Yeah I forgot the C100 is actually pretty small. I'd not go for an FS5 as I am color blind and need either a Canon or Fuji to rely on lol. I might pick one up if I find a really good deal on it. I need three cameras for shooting, a used C100 might a good option third camera. Continuous recording is nice. kye 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good, I am keeping my XT3 for 120fps though?? C100 could be in my near future though, ? Having the endless options of Canon glass is tempting.

We spend a lot of time here talking about different systems, but remember to take into account the practicalities of actually owning multiple systems. Fuji and Canon both have nice colours, but they don't have the same colours, so there would be work in post to match them, especially in scenes like the wedding ceremony where I imagine you've got a multi-camera setup and are cutting between them frequently in the final edit. There's also the advantages of having compatible lenses, media, etc. Unless you knew that you were always going to use the C100 with the wide, and the Fuji always with the long lens, but I suspect that's not the case. webrunner5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
webrunner5 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yeah having 2 different systems is a pain in the ass even if you have money to do it. Video is enough of a pain if everything is right, let alone adding to the problems. And not having 4K in the C100 I can see could be a problem for some. There is no real good solution to any of this sad to say. Always a catch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very true. For weddings my setup now is two cameras doing closer shots (xt3 and XH1) and a third static camera taking a continuous recording. Of course any camera can do continuous recording with an external recorder. The easiest option in terms of grading would be another Fuji camera, but that is boring. ? For wedding a continuous wide shot shouldn't be hard to match in post, vs doing a bunch of random clips. Getting pretty off topic now though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
