I don't think it's RS because this image shows RS and ghosting together:

Also, if it was RS why would it change with ISO? It's surely noise reduction.

@kidzrevil Your Canon rep is very responsive. Mine is much more terse: thanks for the video, send it in.

STOP THE PRESS, this just in:

This camera is a real challenge but I already feel like its making me more knowledgeable and more creative about video. When it works it works REALLY well ! Gonna have to study up on gain vs ISO. Hopefully gain could help us fine tune the noise in the video a bit better. Im gonna use the EBU chart as a reference.

@mercer it could very well be a shutter speed thing so I will look into that today. My diffusion filtration has been helping. I think a big part of what the NR is looking for is high contrast edges. The drop in contrast from the filtration seems to "trick" the camera

I can't find anything about new firmware via Google. Where did you hear this?

There is a close XC10/15 discussion group on Facebook. It was mentioned there, and I think Andrew Reid's article that mentioned the new XC15 here on eoshd also mentioned the XC10 would also get the same custom profiles of the XC15 in a coming update. Read Andrew Reid's notification on this site and see if he doesn't mention it. The update is not available yet, but I'm pretty sure it's coming.

I just picked up an XC-10 on ebay used for $1200.  The guy was very nice and threw in two 256GB CFast 2.0 cards and two CFAST readers.  Pretty much the best deal I've scored on ebay for years.  My 1dx pukes yesterday but I have this little camera to keep me happy for a couple of weeks.  I called the guy after the sale and asked why he was so generous - he said he bought a C500 and just didn't need the cards and figured I could use them.  There is hope for civilization yet folks.  :)

Digging the XC-10 so far.  Downloading the Canon XF software was a waste though unless you want to read EXIF info.  Camera is plenty sharp when you grade the C-LOG footage and looks really Super 16'ish.  It is what it is - a good light deep DOF camera with IS, ND, 4k, no time limit and C-Log.  It is not a replacement for the larger sensor Cx00 cameras, but should match nicely in post.  Loving it!

Wow, that is for next to nothing!

It's the story of my life - good luck and bad - my 1dxII crapped itself after the latest firmware last night so it's headed back to Canon.  But yeah - that was the deal of the year.  The cards are Lexar 3400x 256GB...

I have been looking for a good deal on a XC10 in ebay the last weeks and I never see any even close to 1,200, did you make an offer for one of the cameras published around 1,700?
