Administrators Andrew Reid Posted December 31, 2015 Author Administrators Share Posted December 31, 2015 Raw on the FS5 can go straight to ProRes on the Odyssey 7Q+Much more practical than handling the file sizes of Cinema DNG raw in 4K!!I just hope the firmware update doesn't cost an arm and a leg.And yes it would add the bulk of the recorder... but hell is the FS5 small and light. 0.8kg body only!!Won't happen. Best bet is asking for XAVC-L 4K mode improvement.Doesn't need!It shoots 10bit 4:2:2 internally at up to 240fps.Ok it is 1080p but this is a GREAT feature and really overlooked.My FS5 arrived today. Found it £4000 inc VAT ex-demo at WEX in the UK... and that was even the 16-105mm F4 OIS zoom kit.Bargain compared to the C100 II! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcs Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 My FS5 arrived today. Found it £4000 inc VAT ex-demo at WEX in the UK... and that was even the 16-105mm F4 OIS zoom kit.Bargain compared to the C100 II!Would it be possible for you to do a side-by-side shoot with those two cameras? Including time to grade skin tones + full color grading. Also compare their autofocus functions.While I'm certain it's possible to match the C100 II and FS5 (I can match the C300 II with the A7S II), I think you may find the C100 II takes less time and effort to make look good, especially in challenging light (multiple colors, non-continuous spectrum, etc.). Color and AF are why we went with the C300 II vs. the FS7 (kept FS700 for 240fps- even with 24Mbps internal codec the quality is good enough).

KrisAK Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 US price for the XC10 just dropped $500.List price is still $2499, but now features an instant rebate of $500. And unless the product pages haven't been updated, it looks like the 64GB CFast 2.0 card and reader are still included, as is a free 1-year subscription to Premiere.I'm terribly tempted to hit that buy button.

MrNieto Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Hello everyone! I while ago I asked in this forum about the canon xc10, and I have finally go it (yesterday!) My question is, I have been playing with it and trying the different options, but there is one thing that really annoys me and I have not found how to change (I have checked the manual) and would like to know if some of you that have this camera would know how to change it. It's pretty basic, when I'm in live view, be it on video o photo mode, I don't see any of the different parameters, such as shutter, iso, sound levels, etc. To view it I have to touch the lcd and then this info show but for far too short. The problem is that first, If I have the loop on, I can't touch the lcd, so how do I do to bring this to view? I'v tried setting up the function buttons and other things, but can't find it. And second, how do I do it to keep this info longer, o permanently if I wish so?I would really appreciate if you could help me with this one!Thanks a lot!

Super Members Mattias Burling Posted January 30, 2016 Super Members Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ive always had that visable at all times. Never needed to touch the screen. Are you saying it goes away when you reboot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lintelfilm Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sounds like you need to change your display settings. Is there a Disp. Button on the XC10? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted January 30, 2016 Super Members Share Posted January 30, 2016 Sounds like you need to change your display settings. Is there a Disp. Button on the XC10? All buttons are reasignable, but one is Display by default. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNieto Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 Ok, so that was it! I could not find a function within the menus to show the display at all times, so I had to reassign a button to select the display and once that's done, then it was there. My question now is, is there any other way to do this (bring the functions of the display on and off) other then assigning a button?Thanks a lot! I know it was pretty basic, but I couldn't figure it out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted January 30, 2016 Super Members Share Posted January 30, 2016 Either a button or touch, no voice control mercer and nikos 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lamplighter55 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 I recently bought an XC10 having researched the pros and cons and also taking advantage of the 'January sales'.. So far am pretty happy getting used to its capabilities. I have a question ... I have been trying to find out if any of the 3rd party 1D 'cube' LUTs available for the C100*/300* are compatible with the Clog setting of the XC10? Anyone edited with these in FCPX for example? They seem to work but I'd prefer to be certain, as when it comes to 'pushing' the limits when capturing I'd like to know I can get a safe recovery of the footage with out bias, once I've transcoded it for editing. So any ideas or feedback most welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kubrickian Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I recently had to travel around Europe on a job documenting Study Abroad classes. The XC10 made it easy and pleasurable. This was shot in all 1080 c-log, not 4k if you'd like to check it out. Jimmy, mercer, TheRenaissanceMan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just double tap function, adjust, menu. nikos 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What mic were you using when not using the lavs? If it's the built in stereo mic of the XC10 then I'll be blown away... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just get close enough to the person and you've got a nice signal - the preamps on the xc10 seem great, or at least much better than a DSLR.

Administrators Andrew Reid Posted April 3, 2016 Author Administrators Share Posted April 3, 2016 Wow that seems to make a difference with the Video Mic Pro, I've never had good results with it on a DSLR. NX1 preamps especially seem pretty poor. Nice job sir. Kubrickian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Members Mattias Burling Posted April 3, 2016 Super Members Share Posted April 3, 2016 For panoramic ambient sound I had great success with the XC10 and Videomic X. All tests are XC10 and auto levels with 0db gain on the mic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
