I have 3 C100mkii's, all bought second hand, and use them for artist interviews, coverage of art events, coverage of music events (opera, big band, orchestra, soloists and more)...I love the ease of use, reliability, battery life, XLR inputs with good pre-amps and picture quality...file sizes are low for the quality of image produced which makes it good for longer event shooting
100% Agreed!
I own 2 of them and doubt I'll sell them even when I upgrade to 4K - great for long events and a safety or B cam
where did you buy them?
@@Sutterjack yeah
Hi, I'm Francis Onyango from Kampala Uganda. I earn a living through video & photography. How much can you sell to me those cameras.
Question: What was your first camera? 🎥

When I worked on set of a popular tv show in my region, this was the camera that they had on A and B. Fantastic especially for how versatile it is
My first ever camera back in 2016! Went onto 10bit and 16 bit 4k/6k as the times have changed but this camera is a beast for its time and still relevant for many things. image considering its specs is great.
Damn how much did u pay for it back then?
@@316OceanDaylight$2.5k… it was $8k (!!!) when released in 2012.
@@316OceanDaylight $2500 in 2016. It was $8k (!!!) when it came out in 2012.
Dude, I watched your video this morning and just picked up one this afternoon. It came with a canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6. Man I stocked!
Great video - I'm part of the C100 M2 cult and I still shoot with it - small, gradable files, insane battery life, decent autofocus, dual card slots, decent EVF, built in XLR audio, NDs!!! If they had made the C100 M3 4.2.2 10 bit 4K they would have sold a million of them. You nailed it on the exposure comment - the C100 codec is unforgiving on underexposure - especially in the shadows. I agree shoot native 850 ISO whenever possible, but I feel it's decent up to 10,000 ISO, Also I personally prefer to shoot wideDR because I honestly feel this early CLOG sucks - Canon has come a long way since. Thanks for the grading tips! The camera is still great for long events, presentations, concerts etc. Hard not to love this ancient, reliable workhorse.
I capture the log output on Atomos with ProRes HQ.
Woah! I love everything about this, the form factor, the battery life, the XLR, the NDs, and especially the price! I'm definitely going to look for one of these! Great video... Thank you!
Still stporting a C100 MK I as my B camera. It's amazing how well it holds up next to me C70, especially when there's enough light...
One thing you did not mention is the amazing built-in microphones in the top handle.
The built in stereo condensor mics are some of the best anyone has ever put inside of a camera...
Just sold 3 of them. They were my workhorses for years and built my business. Only upgraded for 4K and 6K cameras with 4:2:2. and higher bitrates. They were such amazing cameras. Great video
Nice! Thanks for sharing! Black magics are a great in of themselves
Honestly I would never go higher than 4k maybe 6k only to shoot better 4k but I wouldnt want anything higher due to workload and terrible file sizes.
Nice, what new cameras did you decide to go with?
@@knicement went with a Blackmagic 6K and 4K (just sold the 4K), 2 GH5S cams and just grabbed a Lumix S5 IIX also.
@@ColorfieldMedia thank you
I own one. Used it for long form events. Love the image it produces. The preamps of the C100 is also really good.
Great video! I remember the day the C100 was released to market and how big of a deal that actually was at the time. I think today we now look at the Sony FX3 in somewhat of a similar light.
Totally right. I regret having sold it, since many jobs I've made were still exported in 1080 and I loved the form factor and ease of use of this camera. Iconic.
I've always loved the form factor and functionality of this camera and wanted to try using one. I think with the battery life, decent autofocus, and XLR inputs this would be a perfect RUclips talking head camera.
I used that camera mid 2000s, loved it. I think when people say they like the 'canon colors' they are talking about the c100.
I used one for years to make a living, and the image is great, I always used the WideDR profile as log breaks easily with 24mbps. I think it's worth external recording with it if you can for the higher bitrate and 4:2:2.
TBH I wouldn't want to give up 4K acquisition these days, but I still think it's a great camera.
The C100 is definitely one the most film-like digital cameras out there. I was stunned the first time I rented one years ago. No film look filters needed in edit. Now you've got me thinking I should buy a couple more.
They would be great specially for podcasts. Although the color is a bit off in the green tints
COULD USE ONE AT 600 ,WOW
@@AxelAxeI was always battling the green tint in C log. The lack of 10 bit made log a bit useless too. The C200 is probably the best version of this era of camera.
@@LeeThomaslightingcameraman yes we still use a full set of 6 C200 for the podcast I produce. There is a lot of green in the shadows but we do our best.
Now Sony has done a lot better with their FX line so I’m moving to that next year
Does the mkII have the same "filmic" quality?
I remember wanting this so bad when it was new but I couldn't afford it. Many years later I'm considering picking it up just to have a play with it and satisfy the curiosity that is still buzzing in my mind.
It is fun to shoot with!
Покупай с200. Она вообще супер!
I sometimes cover events for non-profits that I work with. That means there is no real budget and I just bring my own private gear. Picking up something like this to elevate the quality further is a great idea. Thank you for the video.
I run both a MK1 and MK2 C100's with a Canon E 24-105 F4 L IS and Canon EFS 17-55 F2.8 (along with my GH5 as a 'floating camera') and they are still absolute beasts! The picture out of them in LOG is very, very gradeable and has a nice creamy quality to it. Plus if you upscale to 4K using Topoaz Video Ai its insane.
Love it! I have yet to try Topaz but have been playing around with Resolves Super Scale feature, it some shots it look terrific. Couldn’t tell it wasn’t 4K.
Thanks for sharing!
Hi -- I love the image quality of the C100. Can you get this same look from the C100 Mk2? There are those who say that the Mk2's image quality is a bit more video-like compared to the more 'filmic' look of the Mk1.
@@whistlingdavetaviner3663 Yeah I have both the Mk1 and Mk2...I prefer the Mk2 (even though the footage matches perfectly) as its codec is a bit more optimized and someo fhte added small features make life a wee bit easier. I hope that helps.
I remember when this thing came out. At the same time Ridley Scott had just shot "Prometheus" in 8K RED Raw and i 4K was really actually becoming the norm in the semo-pro and higher segment of cameras. I loved what i saw that came from this camera in terms of picture quality. It was not vulgar over-sharp but aliasingfree and really beautiful. And the Formfactor was also just right down my alley. To me it reminded me a little bit of the Canon Scoopic camera range from the 60s and 70s. I still need to get my hands on one of these because i still love it and feel like wanting to work with it.
It's my A cam, but that's mostly because I have about $17 available for an upgrade. Beautiful wonderful camera. I only wish I could fly it on a gimbal. Couldn't make it happen, so I locked it off and used a 4 ft slider for important push-ins to a character in an important moment, and for smoother movement, I flew the Rebel T3i on a Merlin Steadicam.
Have have the C100 original and I still use it as my go to camera on set. All my videos on my channel have been shot with that camera with my camera 2 being the RP to go along with my work flow. And even then I choose my c100 more than the rp. From video one on my channel to the very last video on my channel it has stayed consistently killing it with work flow.
That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing!
I use the c100 m1 and m2 at work when we're hired for interviews or small events. I absolutely love them so much. Small data sizes, internal NDs, and the great image makes this the perfect run-and-gun camera set up for people wanting to enter the cinema camera world. Canon made some really great and under appreciated tech, honestly.
Absolutely! Wonder what they would do for a c100 iii or c50… C70 seems to be an odd form factor, but I haven’t used it myself. But grading those files was smooth!
Hi -- I love the image quality of the C100. Can you get this same look from the C100 Mk2? There are those who say that the Mk2's image quality is a bit more video-like compared to the more 'filmic' look of the Mk1.
@@whistlingdavetaviner3663 the C100 mk1 and C100 mk2 are like 99% similar from what I've seen. I haven't really noticed a difference at all.
I have a Canon XA-30 and it's been really good. If I step up from there, which camera is good value and one up from the C-100 in your opinion?
hi man i need a lumix cinematic camera set but my bugdet is only 1000$ which setting can you recomend me to buy
Hi! What lense do you recommend for don't time filmmakers on this camera?? Thanks for your videos!!!
Thats some of the best C100 footage I've seen. Really good stuff man, great video.
Appreciate it Jake!
My previous camera was the C100 mkI and it was so amazing. I filmed a 52min documentary with it and it was the most pratical camera I've got. The quality is amazing and the super 35mm is very nice for cinema lovers ! Damn, I miss it...
Come on Canon, give us a C100 iii!
@@NatesFilmTutorials That would be amazing. C70?
@@TCJOHNSTONE exactly
I suppose the c70 serves that purpose, however I’m not a fan of that formfactor
@@NatesFilmTutorials I think the C70 is still an hybrid. Specs are very nice but the praticality not.
As a skateboarder/skate filmer, that top handle looks great. Along with a proper fisheye, it'd be reminiscent of the old classic Sony VX (in utility as opposed to form).
It's gnarly how good it can still look! makes me want the MKII now
Yes sir! Not only that, but it’s so fun to shoot with!
I used to own the MKII and recently in the past year picked up another one and it has been so fun shooting on it. The image still holds up and, honestly, if you export in 4K and no one is the wiser.
Bit of a trip down memory lane for this one Nate, thanks for posting. Going to get my own C100 out of its box this weekend and give it some much needed attention.
Forgot how much I enjoyed using the C100. It’s where it all began for me.
Hey man! Great to hear! I’m curious about finding some older cameras that I’ve always wanted to try. Perhaps original bmpcc, Canon XC10, C200. So many great cameras out there!
@@NatesFilmTutorials I’ve used the C200 quite a bit and while it is the natural successor to the C100, it didn’t quite have the same feel and use (although, 10 stops of built in ND is great and it’s headphone preamp is actually quite good)
@@jw_film C200 was a big disappointment to me - no 422 10 bit internal? C'mon Canon do you ever get it right??!!!
@@Sutterjack It was a glaring omission on their part and put me on the route of owning the EVA but I have shot quite a bit with the c200 and it’s excellent, but should really have had 10bit.
I had a C100 mark1 when they first came out and it was revolutionary compared to the Sony EX3 I was using - when I needed 4K for a project I bought a Sony F7 but hated using it compared to the C100 (better quality but felt like a backward setep) - so bought a C200 as soon as it was released - I'm still getting lovely pictures from it now and although I have a couple of 6K BMPC, URSAs and a LUMIX S5II - it's still my 'go to' run and gun camera - modular but solid as they come, long battery, built in ND, beautiful picture even though it's 8bit apart from the RAW (which seems to make no real difference), great in low light and useable built in viewfinder. Out of all my cameras, when I fly and need something totally reliable, it's the camera I take.
I think that the new pricing makes it a bargain.
I still have my C100 and used it for an event - picture-wise it totally held up against the C200 and Blackmagics.
Love to hear! Thanks for sharing!
Also, have you experimented with upscaling the c100 footage and comparing it to say a modern 4 k camera? Might make a good video
I am a total n00b to this stuff and didn't even know this was a thing that could be done. This is awesome. And i think this is the kind of camera i want to get just because it seems like such a great "starter" camera.
I recently got this same setup c100 mk1 with the sigma 18-35. Im loving it so far wanted to get into the cinema camera world but didn’t want to break the bank. It’s definitely still a very capable camera. Great video sir!
Love to hear that other people are still using it too! The sigma really does make this camera shine too!
Thanks so much for this video. I’ve been really wanting a cinema camera but can’t afford a FX6. For the money I may have to pick one of these up and see how it is.
It's a wonderful camera. The mark 2 has the *much* better EVF (which is amazing in bright sun), the AF as standard (it was an add-on for the C100), and the screen is a full flip-out. It's also hardly any more expensive. On that screen, it's OLED. If it had 10-bit 4K, I'd never replace it. I love this thing. Next to the very latest 4K 10bit cameras coming out, its image holds up but is definitely outshined. Personally, I think 4K is a massively over-hyped advent, but when you combine its resolution with 10-bit, you get such smooth gradients that it really does take the image up a level.
Pretty much why I went for the C200. 4K and RAW recording. I love the images I get from that camera, especially the skin tones.
That's not to take away anything from the C100 though. It's a great camera.
What do you call the color card that you are holding in many parts of the video? I need one of those but don't know how to search for it. Thanks@
It’s called the color checker passport video! geni.us/dzwnD
STOP THINKING ANYONE WILL EVER FIND ONE OF THESE FOR $500
You can get a Mk1 for $300 without lenses but the lenses will set you back and the batteries will be dying a slow death.
Maybe an eBay search before you make your whiny sad little comment
I got one today for $460 from MPB
I got one for $240
Im getting one today for $450
One of my first introductions to cinema cameras back in 2014. Before then I was primarily shooting and didn't care on what ever camera for fun. Using the C100 was eye opening. Still a great camera even today.
Beautiful form factor. And it's clearly capable as well.
I have been using 2 of the original Mk 1’s for 10 years and still use then to this very day. I now record using ProRes HQ on Ninjas and then I can mix the two C100’s with image from the 10 bit ProRes HQ that’s I record on a third camera a EOS R with Shogun 7 and three shots are so close you its easy to grade and match in multi cam edits. I love these cameras.
Where did you get the idea that it's a sub sampled 4k sensor? I was always under the impression it's solid HD sensor not 4k
I still have my C100 Mkii's and love them. They're not used as much but the second a job calls for them I get so giddy and happy because just how easy they ere to work with. My only issue was the lack of lenses that fully worked with them. I mean I hate how a $250 kit lens (EFS STM) with no weather protection and made of cheap plastic has full face detection and tracking but none of my L line does. After fact checking this I did notice one EF lens was available for this but not the one I originally thought which is the L series 24-105 f4 but rather the cheap EF 24-205 f3.5-5.6 so my complaint is still valid. Other then that I will defend it's 420 8bit footage any day :) love it. I just wished the C200 had 10bit 422 internal :(
Holy Moly! The image color is gorgeous!
This is exactly why I kept my C100MK2. We have C70 and I find myself using the C100 alot still
I love the C100 Mark 2. It really is next level even 10 years later almost. It's all about how you use it and what settings you decide to use. I need to learn more about it while using it in certain situations. My question to other filmmakers out there is where to you learn more about cameras best? Is it books or RUclips? please send me suggestions
It's mostly just intuition through practice. Cameras are a medium. It's the artist behind the medium that's more worthy of study. Because any manual behind a camera, is all that's technically needed. And there are also art fundamentals/theory.
I use cameras for observation, because sometimes I need reference for drawings or animation. So I am not primarily a photographer.
From my experience, it's a lot of fun looking at techniques from different fields of art. And then reapplying it to my own work.
For example, Akira Kurosawa is an amazing director. That made a lot of famous films, with a lot of great composition and movement. And Power Rangers is really good for studying things like choreography.
Even knowing obscure things like animal behavior, can also help when planning a photo or video.
I actually pulled a C100 MKI that I was given a number of years ago out last week, so the timing of your video is great. Mine is the original without the AF upgrade so I'm looking into that, but the $500 cost is pretty steep. I also wish that 60p was an option on it, but will adapt. Thanks for the review.
Nice! I don’t believe Canon offers that AF upgrade anymore. But if your able to snag a C100 ii you’ll be able to unlock that and 60p!
@@NatesFilmTutorials Canon Canada still does actually. Also, there is a great hack out there for assigning AF Lock to a button on the handgrip to push when you move between objects so that the AF doesn't adjust to focus on something way in the background for the moment when you are panning (if that makes sense). Cheers!
Any thoughts from the crowd on EF to E mount Metabones adaptors on this vintage wonder?
Isn’t this cinematch plugin the same thing as the cst? 4:52
@7:28 Is it possible to shift the focus box from center to corner with any button / joystick?
And is it possible to turn on/off the auto focus in he middle of a recording?
Thanks in Advance.
I don’t believe you can move the AF box, but you can switch of AF, I have an assigned button on the handle I can press that will switch to manual focus. Super handy!
This was my first cinema camera. A GH5S replaced it and I was regretting it ever since (demand for 4K sadly). I now use the FX6 which is in some way a nice throwback to my trusty c100mkii.
i still have my mk1, but haven't powered it on in years. not sure why i hang onto it, but it gave me a heck of a lot of mileage when it was my main cam
I’ve always told myself when I can I’ll buy one just for fun filming.
Really enjoyed this , thanks mate!
It is such a fun camera! Thanks Joel! What do you shoot on currently?
I'm still using Mark II after almost 10 years with my C70 as a main camera. It's incredibly easy to match them, which is almost impossible with any mirrorless, the image is too digital on all mirrorless cameras, no mater how good or expensive they are.
Use a vintage lenes
best advice using it?
Does this camera provide a clean hdmi? I would like to use it to shoot on a video switch for a sporting events
It does!
Flawless video, I really enjoyed it! Thank you, I'm checking out the MKii and OG on eBay now. Been too obsessed with pointless features and consumerism in the last few years. I've started going down the path of realizing that the person matters more than the camera for over 10 years. Watched a video where Camera Conspiracies compares the OG BMPCC 2mp pocket cine cam vs the Sony A7S MkIII as well as you did. I was shocked! Been in the "M43, S35, FF" sensor and autofocus war too much, it doesn't matter that much if your putting in the TLC needed to make good ART!
Love this! I originally bought a C100 back in 2018, but after revisiting I was shocked to see how well it holds up. Definitely not as robust as the A7siii I'm used to. I think it goes to show you can make just about any camera look good if you know it's limitations. In terms of ergonomics and functionality I don't think another camera comes close to the C100!
Thanks! Refreshing professionalism, so rare on RUclips.❤
Appreciate it Martin!
Shot my indie feature on this with an Anamorphic Lens. Not an ARRI or Red, but it definitely has a cinema feel to it. The ND filter is a game changer. For those on a budget, get this camera. Hell, if you have to shoot on your phone, get it done. Hollywood is not coming and knocking on your door. Thanks for the review.
Where can I watch your feature film? Would love to see it! Especially to see how the camera with the anamorphic lens looks. I'm trying to decide whether to get this camera!
This was my first camera in 2015 or 2016! I loved it! I made it a workhorse, I beat it up and it survived. I loved everything I shot on it, but in the end, found that despite the image quality that still held up, I was needing something that offered 4K and 6K and higher frame rates. I moved onto the BMPCC 6K (og) in 2020 and have two of those now. I just wish Black Magic Design could figure out the battery life and nice top handle like the Canon C100. I know they offer the battery grip for the 6K pros now and they added ND filters, so I might end up with one of those.
Thanks for sharing Ryan! I worked with black magic cameras for corporate work and like you said the image quality is phenomenal, but wish it did have the longer batter and functionality like the C100
Would you recommend this for a beginner?
I was debating on getting one of these vs BMPC 4K. Picked up the black magic instead but still love to look at what canon is doing and see what else is out there. Great video!
Great choice!
Is it worth buying it even if I have a canon r6 with also great video?
Please can you share the model of that top plate? I'm struggling to mount an external monitor to my C100 since there are no cages available anymore for it.
This one is the Wooden Camera Top Plate for C100. Looks like B&H has it
Where does one get one for $500? Used prices are 3 to 5 times higher than that from Amazon & B&H.
Where did you get it?
Thanks Nate! Awesome footage. An instant subscriber, here. Best Wishes 🙏🏾
Much appreciated! Let me know what you want to see more of
Wow! Thank you for this absolutely brilliant review!! This camera is still insane!
Appreciate it Greg! I might revisit some older cameras, do you have any recommendations?
@@NatesFilmTutorials Oh! That would be so nice! Can you review Canon 850D? Its from 2020. I got it few weeks ago from my wife and try make some films, mostly nature/adventures. Weird in this camera is tealy bad 4k compare to absolutely genius 1080p. So, can you check that? 😊
Hi. Nice video. I'm planning to purchase this camera but don't know where to buy it. I have gone through those links you posted but found only used ones/damaged ones being available.
Canon no longer makes them so you will have to look on the used market. Keep your eye on for one in good condition!
Please link, where I can buy
I shot over 70 TV spots last two years, I would say that 35 were shot with the Canon C100 (with an atomos ninja v) cinema lenses, etc. I know that in two or three instances the footage was bumped to 4K, ALL CLIENTS and AGENCIES were very happy. If you have one KEEP IT, this camera will be like the ARRI SR 16mm, a legend.
Wow, You sound Rich 💰
Interesting that you use such expensive lenses with such a cheap camera. May I ask why you don't use a more modern camera?
The mk1 was my introduction to a cinema camera. This was great!
Appreciate the kind words Chris!
that was great! also the plugin cinematch is sth that I really need to buy :) thanks!
Anyone know why they put in a 4K chip but only give you 1080?
I'm considering picking oe of these up. Thanks for the video.
Appreciate it!
You made me want to buy it. I will receive it next week and I’m just too excited. I plan to use it for my next short film.
Have fun with it!
Just bought one with the dual pixel autofocus upgrade. 244 hours. $659 USD. I'm so psyched!
I'm keeping my C100 mk2 with the Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and Sigma 50-100mm f1.8 forever!! I use it for corporate videos-mostly interviews. I got recently a Sony FX30 and it sure is crisp in 4k but I have used them both for interviews and when the final deliverable is 1080p (almost every time with my client) I use the FX30's 4k footage and reframe it as needed. I wanted to buy the C300mk2 for its 4k but not sure anymore...for live events -conferences and even some wedding ceremonies I use a Canon XF300 cammcorder. Not sure a cinema camera will work well. I shoot mostly by myself. Anyway, great camera C100! is the C200 a big upgrade? Whatever I buy now has to have 4k.
Is external full to?
We have a canon c100 but it has dent on it's sensor. Can anyone suggest where we can get a replacement?
Oof! I’m not sure if Canon would fix it anymore, but you should be able to grab one here! geni.us/JlACMV
I’m making my first indie film. Is this really a 500$ camera? Great content video. I’m pretty green when it comes to all the features. This provides excellent color choices. What do you recommend for editing software and audio for dialogue? New Subscriber
This looks absolutely STUNNING. I definitely want to pick this camera up and I could kiss you on the mouth for that cinematch walkthrough. 🙌
😚
Loving the film vibe 👏 Great review!
Thank you so much!
My camera is a Canon C100 Mk i with Atomos Ninja V monitor recorder and the lens is a Proscar Anamorphic on a Nikon 50mm or 28mm prime lens. You are right about it being INSANE but today there are medications with very little side effects to take care of that. Okay, going to watch your video now after having commented first to your title.
I have used the C100 for many projects including broadcast TV commercials. It is a true cinema camera, not a hybrid. People want 4K or DCI, but you can achieve amazing results in 1080p using a high-quality, fast lens and shooting log. I personally like the Zeiss Milvus lenses with apertures at T1.4, but you get the idea. And let us remember that broadcast TV is still not 4K.
Agreed!
hey what cage do you have on the top handle?
It’s from wooden camera. www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/931209-REG/wooden_camera_wc_161200_top_plate_c100_c300.html It’s more expensive than I thought, fortunately mine came with the camera
Amazing video! You gained a new sub. What do you think about the R7 with the 18-35 Sigma for video?
I personally haven’t used that camera, but I am sure you can get some amazing results with it. The image quality is probably better than the c100.
Ultimately there isn’t a wrong camera choice, just make sure you get something that fits your needs!
I started my company with these cameras. I still use them time to time. Absolute tanks.

What's the advantage of Cinematch over Colour Space Transform to match Arri's colour space? Is it just less nodes?
Also, wouldn't pushing 8 bit footage to a flatter profile than intended and converting to Rec 709 introduce images artifacts? I used a C100 for my first documentary and I don't remember it having this much lattitude.
Great question! Color space transform tool essential converts it to the same color space. Where Cinematch differs is that they test and compare the different sensors. You can see the difference around 5:13 where I select color space transform and sensor match.
You still have to nail your exposure or overexpose and bring back down, otherwise you will get artifacts.
If you are careful with how you shoot and color grade you can get some great looks out of it!
How can i acquire such a camera in Uganda, Kampala
However, I found that the specifications of the Canon C100 only allow for shooting Full HD videos and do not support the recording of 4K videos. However, in your video, it was mentioned that it can shoot 4K videos.
What about transiting to Davinci Wide Gamut?
Been trying to save up to buy a C100 since it came out...... I know it is great! (now I would like the C100 m2 for better autofocus), but I'm not primarily working freelance with own cameras anymore so there's no need. Plus here in Norway the only c100 m2 I saw for sale used was still $2500 .... you got lucky at $500
Ive got the FX3 but I'm really tempted after seeing your video to buy one to play around with
It sure is fun!
I've just had a look, super cheap so defo got it on the list of things to buy. Thanks for the informative vid @@NatesFilmTutorials
Nice! Let me know your thoughts if you get it.
Whats the nearest 10bit option?
How can I learn more about the censor being 4k downscaled? If it has a 4k sensor, why is there no way to get a 4k image? I assume there's not a way, I'm interested in why that's the case and why a camera would be designed like that?
Also, I've really enjoyed my C100 so it's nice to see it get some love still
would I have to start over I probaly get this one instead of spending more on my first camera and using the money I can safe with this thing for other gear like audio or lightning or gimbals
Still have my old c100mkii and it rocks!
I remember drooling and dreaming of owning it when it was released.
Handy ideal run n gun do it all single shooter camera, but only 8 bit HD resolution low bitrate data. Still plenty of use for lot of jobs.
Superb analysis dear
