I've been sitting by my laptop rocking backwards and forth for weeks hoping this review was coming and it certainly didn't disappoint. Thanks for another outstanding in-depth review Mr Undone. I know what I'll be spending my pocket money on later this year.
This was the first comment that appeared for me under the video. Well done this one got me good! 🤣🤣🤣 I can see someone holding that in front of themselves in public now 😂.
Separate from my previous comment about the CFexpress card and reader, I very much appreciate your review of the C300 Mark III. It helped confirm in my mind that I want the C300 Mark III instead of the C500 Mark II. Additionally, I always appreciate your reviews. They are clear, concise and easy to understand. You are a straight shooter without being mean or rude, which is the way everyone should be when doing reviews. I also like your reviews that get really deep into the technical stuff. Keep up the great work.
Nice coverage - thanks Gerald! This is tempting. I find myself using my C200 more and more over the P6K because is is just a simpler setup - no need for a follow focus or a big cine battery plate hanging off the back. So now the C300mkIII is tempting as a new A cam.
This is probably one of, if not, the best reviews on the C300 mk iii. I'm really hoping you do one just as in-depth for the Canon Eos C70 which I am eagerly anticipating!
Great review! As an owner of a C500 Mark II, I agree that this camera should be up there. The 120fps w/ AF alone is worth it. However, the fullframe look is definitely hard to beat.
If I paid 6k more to buy the c500 mark ii than c300 mark iii I would probably said the same. BUT thank God I didnt and bought the c300 mark iii. And now I can say that very few could tell the difference about the fullframe look. And believe me my clients cant tell the difference for sure... :)
I recently wrap a shoot using this camera (provided by canon), I would say this camera is the few camera I feel that I don't need overexposed and I can live with normal exposure and even underexposed little bit. the grain structure is much improved compare to c300 2 and c500 2 (both shows very similar fixed pattern grain).
All major brands should give their new cameras to review people like you...... coz this is what we need to know. the quality of your VIDEOS are next level brother. Keep on doing ♥️😍
As someone who is mostly actor and writer and just scratching the surface for cinematography, your videos are mesmerizing. Your voice is so soothing, and I only understand about half of what you say, so I get into a kind of trance watching them... Love the detail, though. ~Trav
I've been watching your reviews for a while and I've always appreciated your thoroughness and professionalism, but I wish you'd include more test footage (and I don't mean color charts and objects), because technical specs and functionality matter a lot, but at the end of the day we need to gauge the image quality of a camera (at least it's important for me), as I can handle any quirks if the camera produces a good image
I can't wait to get mine. Preordered shortly after the announcement and I've been checking my back account every day to see when the money comes out so I can actually expect mine haha
Hey Friend! So I'm curious... been looking on B&H everyday & it just says "New Item Coming Soon" Is this camera already out & available? I've been so confused trying to find information on this camera & its release! I'm late to the party on it but most defiantly getting it! Any insight would help. Thanks :)
So thorough, wow! Such a great review, this really changed my view of the C300mkiii...now I want one. Thank you, I always trust this channel for solid and thoughtful camera advice.
I would love to see a comprehensive shootout of the C300ii and FX9, though I suspect the results would be pretty inconclusive as far as which is "better." We are quite blessed to have such choices these days.
7:20 - To correct you : You may notice that your signal on your waveform can go beyond 100, or below 0 (there is some room above and below). So, the thing is that the wafeform is using an IRE scaling ( -6% to 109% IRE, where 0% to 100% IRE correspond to limited range) while the zebra is using full scale signal (0 to 1023 in 10 bits) That means that 0% on the waveform corresponds to 0% IRE = 64 (on a 10 bits scale) And 100% on the waveform corresponds to 100% IRE = 940 (10 bits) (And just to be clear : -6% IRE = 0, and 109% = 1023) With a quick formula, you find that 92% IRE is equal to roughly 872 in term of 10 bits value While 86% (full scale) is equal to ~880 The small gap between the 2 value comes from your percentage reading on the waveform !
Thank you for verifiing why the C300 miii is my current fav cinema camera. Yes it's annoying there is no RF mount option but give me the smaller Super35 sensor over Full Frame with better features any day. Well Undone Mr Undone👌🏿👌🏿
Great review Gerald! I really enjoyed some time with a C500 MKII recently and preordered a C70 on day 1 because of it, but anticipate selling my last Panasonic EVA1 in the future and picking up a Canon C300 MKIII. Thank you Gerald.
It doesn’t make sense that you only have 150k subs.. but then again you’re probably too technical, articulate and intelligent for most people to comprehend the complexity of your videos. 🤦🏽♂️
My C200 is only ever user in my studio and for client interviews in a controlled environment. The controlled lighting means that's more than I need. Whenever I'm out in the wild, I prefer something more portable that can be used more easily hand held or on a gimbal. I love Canon cinema cameras, and this looks like a great option, but I'd probably still use my GH5 more.
One thing that most people don't consider when they like or dislike any camera is "shoot day anxiety". We all have it and the biggest consideration of buying a $ 15K camera that nobody really talks about is the having most of the controls on the outside of the camera in the form of those dials and buttons makes you less anxious and more inclined to change settings. There are so many things to keep track of when shooting that those buttons are great compared to searching though menus and potentially messing something up when $$ and your rep' is on the line. A BMPCC4k with a a button setup like the Canon C serious would be amazing, or maybe a special breakout box that you attach to the usb type-C...., wait! that was my idea lol!!!!
Sounds great, and I managed to keep up with your review Gerald, without reverting to 75% playback speed... Nore than ever it's a minefield for us punters and the clarity and depth of your reviews is very helpful. Dual gain sensor is really clever and the future I think - an APC sized sensor trashing a full frame, about time. No comment about heat or duration, this must be a proper video camera!
For some reason I'm not impressed with the R5, can you do a review and possibly change my mind. I don't need high pixels and only see the non-crop and AF as a differentiator. Is it enough?
Would love to see you explaining with more details the waveform behavior on CLog 2 you so briefly talked about. I've rewinded and watched many times and still wasn't able to truly understand why it does what it does... Great review, Gerald!
Your the best at what you do from what I've seen. Thank You! I'm not even in the market for a camera this expensive, but I watched it all anyways. I have a fun idea for you that I'd love to see. Film a video on the original bmpcc and don't tell anyone until the end and see if anyone could tell the difference. I admit to my bias as I'm kitting up my OG BMPCC now to do some video content. I don't believe anyone would notice the difference between really high quality 1080p and really high quality 4k without pixel peeping. Either way, have an awesome day
Love the Review. Question though. I picked up a Canon C100 at a great price under $1k. Even though 1080, do you think it still holds / for youtube in 2020?
Gerald, I have to challenge you on your dynamic range opinions. I've had a comparison between the Blackmagic Pocket 6k vs Arri Alexa, and the Pocket 6k won by a mile. At least 2 more stops in highlight latitude. If you're not getting the same results, then you're settings must be wrong. I'd be willing to test this any time if you doubt it
My old perfect camera for me was the ursa mini pro g2 for the slomo in 4k and best raw codec ive ever used i would love the c300 iii for it's AF but i honestly am not a fan of Canon RAW, i do have an external blackmagic raw recorder so hopefully is gets braw compatibility like the c300ii got
Are you planning on reviewing the Canon Eos R5 or R6? I find your reviews always by far the best so i'd love to see one from you, especially because you're a videographer and I only see reviews from hybrid shooters or photographers.
Thank you Gerald for an amazing overview of the camera. Very deep and detailed, as always. One question, did I get it right that the camera can’t record in 12bit raw at 50/60 fps?
I want to see Gerald and Phillip Bloom fight it out in the Octagon! Pretty tough choice between this and the FX-9. Not that I'm complaining! So glad to be living in a time where both of those cameras exist. (Maybe the only good think about 2020? :/ ) I think a huge consideration to make is ergonomics. Do you like the handheld approach or the shoulder/ENG handling? I think a lot of operators prefer the ENG ergonomics that the FX9 affords you. Am I wrong? Great review as always, Gerald!
i wish i had the gigs to justify purchasing the canon c300mk3. i look forward to seeing it show up in the rental houses. (if there are any rental houses still in business post-COVID. ugh) thanks for the effort and the sharing. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Dude how do you have less than 150k subs?! Awesome review! I'm looking to add the C300 II as an A cam with my P6K as B and my 5D4 as C if necessary. Hoping it is easy enough to color match with my P6K.

Can you say for your intro "Gerald Undone is my name, and making extremely informative youtube videos about modern camera technology is my game".
The camera I own is a Panasonic G7...
And here I am watching reviews of high quality cinema cameras...
Me: One day... One day I'll be able to upgrade.
2020: Do you even have a job lol
Well your brother potato jet is working why aren't you.
Jk.
I lost a two month paid internship between college semesters due to Corona... So a camera purchase is a pipe dream for me lol
6:03. Would you look at those greens. SMH. That is beautiful.
Haha. You and your greens! 💜🤓
This is a damn good review. It felt like it was 45mins long but I was surprised when I saw at the end it didn't touch 20mins.
Great little 2nd camera to take on family day trips 👍🏻😂

I've been waiting for weeks for a indepth review on this camera. Expecting great things from Gerald on this one
This is a really great review. I picked one up so I'm looking forward to getting it out there and giving it a whirl.
Absolutely crushing the review game, as always! Thanks man

All are welcome to Canon world. Another great video. Your content keeps getting better and better.
I recently wrap a shoot using this camera (provided by canon), I would say this camera is the few camera I feel that I don't need overexposed and I can live with normal exposure and even underexposed little bit. the grain structure is much improved compare to c300 2 and c500 2 (both shows very similar fixed pattern grain).
All major brands should give their new cameras to review people like you...... coz this is what we need to know. the quality of your VIDEOS are next level brother. Keep on doing ♥️😍
As someone who is mostly actor and writer and just scratching the surface for cinematography, your videos are mesmerizing. Your voice is so soothing, and I only understand about half of what you say, so I get into a kind of trance watching them... Love the detail, though.

I have to say, this is one of, if not *the* best review video I've ever seen. Incredibly informative. Loving your work!
Dude, thank you for this review! You've compressed hours of messing around into 15 minutes of learning. Appreciate that!
Man would i love to see Mr "live the fx9" Bloom vs Mr "c300 ii - best camera I've ever used" undone battle. Did he cancel the friendship already? :)
Potato Jet did it. C300mk3 won.
Can't wait to see your review on the new R5 and R6 cameras, you're _the_best_, man
Concise and dense review coupled with practical insight. Gerald, thank you so much!
I've been watching your reviews for a while and I've always appreciated your thoroughness and professionalism, but I wish you'd include more test footage (and I don't mean color charts and objects), because technical specs and functionality matter a lot, but at the end of the day we need to gauge the image quality of a camera (at least it's important for me), as I can handle any quirks if the camera produces a good image
Thank you for the Great Presentation. I have a C300 MK I and a C300 MK II, you have convinced me I need the C300 MK III. Thanks again . . .
That DGO sensor is godlike, this is such a powerful camera, and to think it's only 10 grand! Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Terrific review. Thanks for once again covering some of the little details as well as the usual stuff.
I can't wait to get mine. Preordered shortly after the announcement and I've been checking my back account every day to see when the money comes out so I can actually expect mine haha

Canon's back to back performance on C500 and C300 is making me extremely hopeful for the July 9 announcement.
So thorough, wow! Such a great review, this really changed my view of the C300mkiii...now I want one. Thank you, I always trust this channel for solid and thoughtful camera advice.
I would love to see a comprehensive shootout of the C300ii and FX9, though I suspect the results would be pretty inconclusive as far as which is "better." We are quite blessed to have such choices these days.
Yes me too, I'm so supprised nobody has done this yet
Hopefully the Canon C100 III is next or something similar. That, and a R6 I can see as a dream combo for me.
7:20 - To correct you :
You may notice that your signal on your waveform can go beyond 100, or below 0 (there is some room above and below).
So, the thing is that the wafeform is using an IRE scaling ( -6% to 109% IRE, where 0% to 100% IRE correspond to limited range) while the zebra is using full scale signal (0 to 1023 in 10 bits)
That means that 0% on the waveform corresponds to 0% IRE = 64 (on a 10 bits scale)
And 100% on the waveform corresponds to 100% IRE = 940 (10 bits)
(And just to be clear : -6% IRE = 0, and 109% = 1023)
With a quick formula, you find that 92% IRE is equal to roughly 872 in term of 10 bits value
While 86% (full scale) is equal to ~880
The small gap between the 2 value comes from your percentage reading on the waveform !
You are so talented at your work. Thank you for your contribution.
Great review! Super useful info start to finish with the perfect amount of details and insights into the quirks. Thanks!
Awesome review! I'm astounded by the pace you maintain throughout!
Finally the one I've been waiting for. On my 3rd watch. This is the camera I'm getting.
This was great Gerald. Love how thorough and well thought out it was.
Bro you're so great at camera breakdowns. Cannot wait for your R5 Review!

Should I get the c70 or the c300iii?!
Exquisite review! I appreciated the comparisons, your efficient script, and the not-so-obvious feature overview. Bravo! Subscribed.
Always a quality watch. Thanks Gerald. We’ll be adding this bad boy to our arsenal thanks to you. 🤙🏼
Great video Gerald! Love all your videos 🤟
A very solid and helpful review, Looking forward to seeing more images out of this camera.
Pre-ordered the c300 mark III, waiting for it's been killing me! This just made me more excited. Well done.
I don't plan to buy anything of this caliber, but I learn quite a lot from your videos, so thanks!
Wow, that highlight pull is incredible.
Great Review! Definitely covered what I wanted to know! Appreciate the time and detail you put into these reviews!

Brilliant review! I’m very much looking forward to your C70 review as I’d love one or two of them for B & C cams to the C300MKiii. *waits impatiently*

So go buy it lady
💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽another awesome vid! That dual gain output seems like a reeeally awesome feature.

Wow your reviews are so damn thorough!
I'd be very interested in a comparison between native 4K raw from the C300 MKIII vs a supersampled 4K from the 6k raw of the C500 MKII
Would love to see you explaining with more details the waveform behavior on CLog 2 you so briefly talked about. I've rewinded and watched many times and still wasn't able to truly understand why it does what it does... Great review, Gerald!

Hi I'm Gerald Undone, and my milkshakes bring all the boys to the yard.
gerald love the lighting in your scene, do you have a video explaining your setup. It's super pro man! Keep up the great work!
Love the Canon Cinema line. Great cameras.
Your the best at what you do from what I've seen. Thank You!
I'm not even in the market for a camera this expensive, but I watched it all anyways. I have a fun idea for you that I'd love to see. Film a video on the original bmpcc and don't tell anyone until the end and see if anyone could tell the difference.
I admit to my bias as I'm kitting up my OG BMPCC now to do some video content. I don't believe anyone would notice the difference between really high quality 1080p and really high quality 4k without pixel peeping.
Either way, have an awesome day
I guess I mean film the A cam talking head stuff with it because you usually use a pocket 6k or 4k if I'm not mistaken.
Love watching these reviews even though i am not in the industry at all.
Can’t wait to get off work to watch this!
Class review. Thanks Gerald!
Such a great review always! You are tempting me to switch to C300 Mk iii from my BMPCC6K
Very much looking forward to your review of the C300MKiii little cousin - the C70
Epic review as always! 👏
Love the Review. Question though. I picked up a Canon C100 at a great price under $1k. Even though 1080, do you think it still holds / for youtube in 2020?
Definitely. I still use mine and it's still a great camera.
Gerald, I have to challenge you on your dynamic range opinions. I've had a comparison between the Blackmagic Pocket 6k vs Arri Alexa, and the Pocket 6k won by a mile. At least 2 more stops in highlight latitude. If you're not getting the same results, then you're settings must be wrong. I'd be willing to test this any time if you doubt it
My old perfect camera for me was the ursa mini pro g2 for the slomo in 4k and best raw codec ive ever used i would love the c300 iii for it's AF but i honestly am not a fan of Canon RAW, i do have an external blackmagic raw recorder so hopefully is gets braw compatibility like the c300ii got
Are you planning on reviewing the Canon Eos R5 or R6? I find your reviews always by far the best so i'd love to see one from you, especially because you're a videographer and I only see reviews from hybrid shooters or photographers.
Thank you Gerald for an amazing overview of the camera. Very deep and detailed, as always. One question, did I get it right that the camera can’t record in 12bit raw at 50/60 fps?
Correct. Cinema Raw Light is 10 bit only when above 30fps. That goes for the C500 II as well
I want to see Gerald and Phillip Bloom fight it out in the Octagon! Pretty tough choice between this and the FX-9. Not that I'm complaining! So glad to be living in a time where both of those cameras exist. (Maybe the only good think about 2020? :/ ) I think a huge consideration to make is ergonomics. Do you like the handheld approach or the shoulder/ENG handling? I think a lot of operators prefer the ENG ergonomics that the FX9 affords you. Am I wrong? Great review as always, Gerald!
God damn I love how detailed your reviews are.
Killer review dude 💯
Best reviews on RUclips!!
Great review bro. 👍 Loved it. That camera seems a pretty awesome upgrade over the mk2.
Love getting technical. Keep it up
