hijodeibn Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 I just saw an XC10 sold in ebay around $1,300……probably in just a few more months will go under $1,000….. @mercer will be happy to ear this news, at that price is very tempting for a B camera…. mercer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are taking it on your honeymoon I imagine that you will want to shoot stills as well. Keep in mind that although the XC10/15 can shoot "stills", they are a far cry from anything that a hybrid can do (since those are real stills cameras with high end video functionality included). The XC cameras are essentially video cameras, not hybrids. As I said before, you don't need to get the camera right now, wait a few months and you probably will have some excellent hybrid alternatives.

I'm happy with what I expect the XC10 can offer me, I'll also be bringing along either the Leicas or (more likely) the Df with several lenses for stills. To be honest I'm not hugely impressed with most of what's out there. Also, I can get several months of railroad action and other shooting in before the honeymoon.

Tim Sewell Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 Quote Those cameras draw too much attention and require rigging. Actually the C100ii, if you lose the top handle, just looks like an oversized SLR - no extra rigging required. I figure - given that most thieves are pretty stupid - that bad guys would just figure you couldn't afford a new, small, sexy camera and leave you alone. Of course if you need decent sound that's a different matter, but for a lot of the stuff you shoot, where you're putting a music track wholly or partially over the location sound it would be aces. And I know your work, so I know you'd love the image! Edited to add that the movie is fantastic - everything we've come to expect from you and more. Also (and this is important) I get that it's not just pretty pictures - there seems to me to be a subtly implied message as well. kidzrevil 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jury Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I tried to find a hard case made specially for XC10 but the one I've found is too bulky. Can anyone suggest a compact hard case that fits XC10 dimensions? It's only for the camera as it's going to live in backpack with other accessories packed separately.

BenEricson Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Used the XC10 on a corporate film shoot the Netherlands. The opening shot is XC10 shot handheld from the back of a van. The rest of the shots in the piece are Canon C300ii. It matches pretty much perfectly in that scenario.

docmoore Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 I borrowed a XC15 from my LCS for a day ... when I returned it they had a GH5 that I picked up. Played with the files out of the XC15 this afternoon and there is much to laud in them. Just difficult without a couple extra programmable buttons and more than one ND setting.

Well, I think the comparison is valid, certainly the C100 is a cinema camera with incredible features, but the XC10 also can replace it in many situations using the right external elements, like for example adding a good external recorder, but the issue is the ghosting, I can`t live with that, also the size of the XC10 is so right, it looks like any other camera, in the other hand the C100 attract too much attention from random people, if a XC20 is released without ghosting I will be probably moving to that, but I don`t think this issue is going to be fixed soon, canon C300 mk II, yes the latest canon cinema camera, also has the same kind of ghosting than the XC10, just harder to find, but still there…..

Yeah, I really hope they make a better version of this camera. Wish I could justify owning this, the perfect little camera for picking off b roll outdoors.
