B&H to sponsor EOSHD reviews and gear store - also C300, 1D C drop $2000, replacements coming?

C300 and 1D C drop $2000

This is an interesting move by Canon. The 1D C I expected really to drop further in price because of intense competition from Panasonic and Sony at much lower prices. The C300 however has been selling very well but now apparently Canon want to shift stock faster. Is this to make way for a replacement? Based on specs alone it is certainly due one. Based on the real world and how this camera has been accepted by videographers and filmmakers, people seem pretty happy with what they have!

Hey Andrew,

 

I've been following your work since the 'controversial days' over at DVXuser some 5+yrs ago ;) . I've become a fan of your work and value your reviews right along side Mr. Bloom. Congrats on the B&H sponsorship- and keep up the good work- its very much appreciated.

Cheers-

 

Zack

Congrats. That's great news. I am curious. Have you ever thought of having a video kind of review too, perhaps, where you speak what you usually write? Something with a few jokes and interesting anecdotes put in?

[Ben Corwin]

Congratulations Andrew! Looking forward to future reviews!

 

Btw, your coverage of the GH4 was the best out there. Thanks again! 

[AaronChicago]

B&H rules. Always my first choice for gear.

[JBraddock]

Congrats Andrew. Can we also get a separate topic in which we can seek advice on what to buy instead of having to create a new topic for every and sometime same questions? 

[Christina Ava]

its time to smash my piggy bank! 

and a new 7D announced for September as i hear (rumours)

and maybe some discounts for eoshd members in B&H?

:D

[jonpais]

Is $12,000 the price including discount? omg

[roxics]

My understanding is that Canon is investing in H.265. They have even contributed to the codec for expanding it to 10bit and 4:2:2 and 4:4:4.

Congrats!  B&H picks the best so it is quite an honor, any economics aside!

[JohnBarlow]

What about member discounts? :P

[HurtinMinorKey]

Good luck, Andrew. Just remember to watch out for that slippery slope that you've just walked onto...

[Nikkor]

Let's hope you won't need to look for a lawyer because of some company not liking one of your reviews.

 Canon dropped the 1DC price earlier too?http://www.canonrumors.com/2014/04/canon-eos-1d-c-price-reduced-by-2000-at-bh-photo/

My expensive non-investment has depreciated.  Still learned a lot during the last year and a half.  Cheers.

Canon has dropped 10.000$ on the C500 too (!), when bundled with an external recorder (like 7Q) and one of Canon's Cinema zooms,

10 thousand US dollars!

If you sell the bundle (lens and 7Q) on ebay, the C500 is basically less expensive than the C300.

Probably one of the worst times to buy a camera now... At least in $8-10k price range. Unfortunately I have to buy one and as much as I like C100's form factor I've decided to go for FS700. I hope it's going to keep it's value better.

Looking forward to see what the upcoming JVC GY-LSX2 will be like.

The $10,000 sale price for the 1 DC is over. The cam is now back up to $12,000 (US).

 

The sale lasted for 3 months.

[alexcornell]

Yeah just to confirm, did the 1DC actually get a price drop today? This week, and today I'm still seeing it at $12K. B&H still has it at $12K anyway -- wanted to confirm if maybe it's still pending or something.
