Could be a hit for the netflix market. i hope i don't upset the apple cart too much .... but people dished the p4k for its looks, but to to me at least the p4k had some resemblance to a camera, this looks like the borg designed it. but each to their own. If you can get this then i wish you every success. i'll crawl back into the bm cave for now. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokara Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 One important point about this camera that people are not paying enough attention to: It has a new generation processor, the Digic DV7. That means that a Digic 9 is probably coming soon for stills/hybrid cameras. Based on the description for the C500, such a processor will be capable of oversampled 4K video. My guess is that we will see the Digic 9 being released when they announce their pro RF mount camera. That will likely be able to record full sensor oversampled 4K60 at 10 bits depth. After that it may filter down into lower end products. The C500 is going to be too expensive for most people here I think, but the processor hints at good things to come in the next set of prosumer cameras from Canon. hopefully they won't have limitations from overheating like the Digic 7/DV5 series.

It will be a huge Canon success. We're mere days/weeks/months away from the rumored announcement of Sony's full frame cinema camera announcement(s), which I bet will devastate Canon when it comes to pricing!

The C500 had separate EF and PL mount versions of the camera but the Mark II has a simple 4 Allen bolt swappable system between EF, PL and Canon's EF Cine mounts.

andjo Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 I think they did everything right with this one, what a beast!

That's a nightmare for solo shooters Is this meant to be a solo operated camera? Or more rigged up? The OG C500 was more of their cinema camera option. This camera is a beast. The Canon Cinema cameras have always been my favorite. I was honestly surprised at the price tag. I expected closer to 20k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebrothersthre3 Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Good codec with canon auto focus and 6k, not bad. I’d wait on Sony’s next S35 cinema cam though. I’m hoping it’ll be around $6000 with similar specs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenEricson Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 No audio track at high frame rates is really annoying, (maybe even 60p?) That screams cinema camera, as opposed to the one man band C300ii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oliver Daniel Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 Looks like a smashing rental cam. For super serious narrative and documentary projects, it’s going be a hot ticket. The only disappointing feature is that they couldn’t get 4k120fps on this thing. Full frame Zcam can do it and it’s tiny. In comparison, the new Sony’s will obviously beat this to shreds for HFR, and price. A better release from Canon, but I expect they will keep their mirrorless range crippled to hell. .

The pro version of EOS-R range will probably include the stills analog of the processor in this camera, which should be Digic 9. It will likely be capable of oversampled 4K, probably 60p as well, based on the specs for the DV7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
