Canon’s new Cinema EOS camera is here and it is 5D Mark II inspired in terms of design although not price! Costing over $16,000 the Canon EOS C300 has a far more compact and less cluttered design than the Sony FS100 or F3. The camera takes on the look of a DSLR with built in EVF. The camera will be available in January 2012.

Really, the 1DS replacement will be the 5D Mark III with a higher megapixel count.

Has it been worth it? You are about to find out.
Some video samples here at ImagingResource Live at the launch with DPReview.com – hands-on and future lenses Nikon have just launched their mirrorless camera. Video samples seem pretty crisp and detailed although bitrate is to be confirmed. I’ll update the site later after the dust has settled. Until then, here is what we know:
I have always wondered what a Sony product would look like if it had the full force of their technology behind it. Have Sony just killed the Alexa? It certainly seems so. With a January release date the Sony F65, and set to be shown at the IBC in Amsterdam this week – the F65 is the successor to the Sony CineAlta F35.
Fuji had a preproduction X10 (a baby X100) at the IFA show today. This is a superb compact which does 1080p and I think they have bettered the Canon G12.
