c300 was our first cinema camera in 2012, 60fps at 720, good times😂

I got a C300 mki with 5 batteries and 2 cards and a Zatuco handle for 450 Euros. Absolutely love it.😍

Own X3 C300III's. The Canon EOS Cinema line has been the foundation on which my career has been built. Solid products!

C300 III and the C70 really are amazing cameras. Canon really understood the assignment, and created an all around powerhouse documentary camera. I would choose the c70 at this point as renting a c300 III is more feasible then owning one. Canon will surely release a successor and competitor right after this is posted.

Just bought a c100mii and c200 in 2023. Deal of the century!

C300 II might be a better choice with 10 bit, AF, and 10 stops of internal NDs

@@TkeMedia yes. You get 4k and more stops of nd filter. It is a bit heavier though

I bought a c300 mki a few months ago to use as a tripod camera at events and weddings. Using it alongside my r7, r5c, two a7iv and an fx30. The footage from the c300 holds up and absolutely looks beautiful. File sizes are small, colors are beautiful, built in NDs mean I don’t have to worry about filters and step up rings, and XLR input means we can run any mics we feel like. Can’t believe I paid $800 for it.

I owned the original C300 and I've shot with almost the entire EOS Cinema series (C500, C300MKII, C200, C500MKII, C300MKIII, C70). I really like these cameras. The latest generation (C500MKII, C300MKIII) are probably the first true cinema cameras Canon ever delivered (save for the little-seen C700&700FF) and they are pretty amazing - so much so they made a few people I know (established cinematographers) change their position towards Canon cameras.

Original C300 was amazing for drama, shot award winning 5 part series two years ago on it. Now have C300 MK II, bought for 3K, its a completely different beast but equally amazing picture quality. I also have separate XLR and touch screen monitor for it. I really like the onboard viewfinder, which MK III you have to buy. I wish MK II had internal ProRes on it. FF is game changing. I have a feature coming up and another series, which I’ll be using the 4K C300 MK II for, never been one to get overly trendy on gear.

I agree. I've heard the image from the original C300 is more pleasing than the mark II. Have you found the mark II to compare with the original in this regard?

I used to love the C300 mk 1 back in the day when I worked for broadcast television. I shot the FS7 and FS5 when they arrived as well but I never fell in love with them. I knew they were technically better but they never gave me the sense of joy that I got from the C300. Somehow I never tried the Mk 2 but ended up buying the C200 when I started freelancing and it is still my main video camera. I also quite like the C100 Mk2 which I've rented on occasion as a b-cam (I didn't like the C100 mk 1 though).

We used the original C300 on my award-winning movie The Martial Arts Kid. We played the film theatrically in over 20 cities across the USA including AMC cinemas in LA, NYC, Chicago, Orlando, St Pete, and Miami. Even with the 8 bit image, it looked good in a cinema and looks good on Tubi and other sites. I chose it after another filmmaker won the 2013 Palme d'Or at Cannes using the C300 on Blue Is The Warmest Color.

Amazing congrats! 👏💯

The Canon cinema line is what I have shot on most since I started out, and I currently own a C70 that I got from CVP on day one. I love it but I do often miss the fully fledged body design of the C300. Even the (let's face it) pretty flawed design of the clamshell on the mki and mkii became really familiar to me, and the rental cameras I used had taken a beating but were still operating just fine. So it's all about what works I guess. It's worth noting that quite a few successful narrative features were also shot on the C300 mki like Blue is the Warmest colour and the one take thriller Victoria, both with high critical acclaim. Somehow I'm still hung up on the C-series and continue to prefer the colour and motion over Sony equivalents, even though the colour on the Sony FX line has got a lot better. Here's hoping Canon have something on the cards for the future of the c-series. Though I'd be quite happy if they didn't make my C70 obsolete anytime soon!

i think the c70 will be a great workhorse for many years to come, and that was already true before the raw upgrade. the only thing i don't like about it is the lack of an EVF.

Here's a q for our experts here: I have a C300 Mk 1 - I also have two fabulous old Af101s from Panasonic. Panasonic threw everything they had at the time at that camera, and used well they rock. Here's the q - for the AF101 I have this great toy called a Bebob Foxi - it's an electronic focus follower system. It's super-useful. How come an electronic focus follower isn't a more popular item? No-one seems to make them.

Crazy to see how much you can get an original 300 for now!

Thanks for sharing all of the spectacular information on the C300 line. I just ordered my new C300iii

Here in New Zealand the cost for the c300mkiii is over double the cost of the c70 which just seems crazy. Still running the c200 for the ergonomics and the EVF. Hanging out to upgrade. But with the latest round of firmware updates for the c70, its hard to make the call at this point to jump to the c300 knowing it still has the EF mount and lagging features compared to the c70 in terms of firmware. The form factor definitely is amazing though. Just hope there is an update to the c300 line soon!

I don't shoot as much as I'd like, but the C70 is an awesome camera. So powerful for it's size and price point.

Upgraded from the original C100 (a camera I loved) to the c300 mark iii over a year ago. I went for the C300 mark iii over the C70 because of the lens mount, the full size XLR's and the form factor. It's also a more impressive camera when dealing with clients. That being said, the C70 does look amazing, I must give it a go someday. When I went for the C300 mark iii I was looking for a camera that was going to last me as long as the original C100 - I think the C300 Mark iii will be around and relevant for a long time to come.

i love my mk3 and i picked up a used mk2 just for fun, i love these cameras, they just work :)

Nice content, I love OG cameras

I just reluctantly sold my original C300 because everything I shoot has to be 4k, but it was a revolutionary camera for me making small documentaries. I am currently using a C70 but thinking about picking up a C300 mark2 or 3 on the used market.

Still rocking my C300 Mk I 😊 What i dont like about it, is the yellow skin tone it delivers. Any experiences with it or workarounds? I find it very difficult to match with the C200.

Still the C300 mkiii over the C70 for me. I hear what people are saying re the specs but for me that's not everything. Ergonomics play a major part imo and sadly the C70 doesn't do it for me. Was looking at the C200 but now considering the C300 miii

I get this is mostly about the C300. I am beginner so costs are a concern. I shoot Canon, and Sony. The C100 is my 1st Cine Camera. Hopefully not my last. I love the form factor, and it's robust build. The EF glass it takes makes it easy. Bought used, it is the same money as the consumer camcorders but the Super 35 opens up doors where my 1 inch sensor camera a Panasonic is not quite there. I will wait for a C70 to come down in price. Not sure I need a C200,300 etc. These are remarkable cameras for sure.

I wonder why Canon doesn’t offer 12 bit raw above 50p on the C300MKIII (since the C70 can). However, it seems like a GREAT camera. The same goes for the C500MKII for that matter. I use the Mark 2 regularly since 2016 and love it. I currently own a Pocket 6K Pro (which is fine but is more of a « what I could afford » than « what I wanted » type of situation when I got it) but I would love to upgrade to a C70 or one of the two other current Cinema EOS cameras as I really love the image. (and yes R5C could also be an option BUT no internal ND and no full size HDMI or SDI is a PAIN)

I still use it but I am looking to up grade soon. The 1080p still look better then a lot of new stuff. looking to used it for live streaming wish I can find an original c500 to couplet the vintage Line. I have the c300 and the 1DC.

Sometimes I feel like, Canon cameras, yes they have huge technical specs , but they lack that "Cinematic Look". I know that for a Canon fan it is hard to see this, but cheaper mirrorless cam (not Canon Brand) look cinematic without all those specs.

Very useful cine camera system

where can i see the full version of that band footage? looks great!

I really hope canon allows more 3rd party for budding hobbyists

Canon gave me a loaner C300 MKIII and a C70 to shoot a series of documentaries in Portland, OR. After that, I bought two C70s immediately. Sometimes I wish that I went with the C300, but now it's too late!

Personally, I always dreaded having a job where I had to shoot on a MKII. The form factor of it just doesn't make sense to me, and operating on shoulder was next to impossible. Not to mention the 2 non-detachable cables for the monitor which required the whole unit to be serviced instead of just switching out a cable.

Nice to learn that you also work on Video Game industry :)

C300 MKII or C200 which would you recommend. Don’t use raw often but I like the idea of beefy codecs as I do run and gun a lot. Had a c100 MKII and was always worried the image could not be push and pulled

No experience with the C300 mkii, but I love my C200. I only shoot RAW with it and I find if it's exposed properly then the footage is easy to grade and looks fabulous, especially skin tones which are a priority for me. Auto focus is also great and I love that I can just drop my stills lenses on it.

Whatever happened to the C200 MII coming out?

As requested last time, do cover Sigma’s FP. It’s a great cam.

I still have a C300 Mk1

I love my C300mkiii.

Amazing video as always! So, I’m thinking if nowadays Sony could compete with these cameras. They’re premium system like FX6 has a comparable raw quality shooting option?

@Bast6

Жыл бұрын

Yes and no because on FX6 raw is external only. (And ProRes Raw isn’t compatible with Resolve which can be an issue [you can convert it to CDNG with a paid software]) Further more, the XAVC Intra codec on the Sony is around 100 Mb/sec LESS bitrate than the XF-AVC Intra from Canon so more compression artifacts which also could be a bummer for some. (Also no false color on Sony, but that’s really a matter of personal preference) That being said, FX6 is an amazing tool as well and worth the buy if you can manage the external raw or codec bitrate I mentioned.

@ItsBerg

Жыл бұрын

Sony FX6 has decent video but raw requiring an external monitor and it being ProRes raw, stinks…. Reviews have seen better color in ProRes given it’s 12bit vs 10bit, but it seems the Sony noise was over the top more than normal for raw.

The Sony Fx30 seems popular, would love to see an appropriate response from Canon in terms of price, specs and form factor. A video-centric camera not a hybrid. That rumoured C50 seems to have been lost into the void.

Canon C300mIII is the perfect camera imo. Can’t believe how good it still is compared to everything on the market in 2023. I shoot all of my wedding work on it.

Hi i like to ask about c500 mark ii i like to making short sci fi film with dark scenes c300 mark iii is better or c500 mark ii

RF mount is still too young to be adopted by a c300-like line. EF is popular because it's used in a lot of parafocal zooms and cine primes with long focus throw

On my 65” 4k tv I couldn’t tell the difference between all 3 in terms of picture quality

Always a pleasure! Ty!

Where is Display Port? This very valuable and certain more professional port gets totally overlooked by the entire electronics industry despite it being the more vastly superior -- and cheaper to implement -- port over HDMI. Unlike HDMI, which as created to be used by consumers. Display Port was developed specifically as a more robust ports for use in professional grade equipment and environments. Maybe Canon will consider including it in C300 IV?

I was thinking the C200 is an awesome camera that is for someone who wants the Raw 4K option still an incredible system.

I received the Sony FX6 last September, but the Canon system was my second option. Right before the pandemic started, I wanted to order the C300 Mark III in 2020. However, Canon overpriced the C300 Mark III and C500 Mark II on release. They would have dominated the industry if they priced the C300 Mark II at the same price as the FX7 upon release and the same with the C500 Mark II vs the Sony FX9.

If the C300MkIII is so "popular", why Canon droped the price? This is a contradiction.
