I just got my C400 a week ago. Previously I was running a C70 and an R5 so the C400 is now my A Cam and the C70 is B Cam / Gimbal. So far I am absolutely in love with this thing. I was far too vested in Canon glass to ever consider switching brands and I waited my time for Canon to release this very camera. Highly recommend the C400 to anyone who needs a true A cam and whose business would benefit from such a purchase.
Same. I did the Sony thing for a while and was still able to use all my Canon EF glass in Sony World. I've had the C400 for a few weeks now and I'm so glad I'm back to Canon with this camera. Glad I didn't sell my EF glass, even though I'm adding on some RF glass for better AF performance. And I was very surprised how well the C400 performed on my Ronin RS2 gimbal. With a 16mm f/2.8 RF pancake lens and the stock battery, it balanced perfectly. Seemed to work even smoother than when I run my R6 on that gimbal. Did a walking through a front door shot where I AF tracked a subject and the lighting went from super bright to dim and used the cameras Auto Exposure for that (which I never do with any other camera), and the way the RF lenses smoothly ramp Exposure instead of 'clicking' it down... the shot worked perfectly. Smooth Track with no shake or bounce, smooth AF lock and then transition infinity when the subject cleared the frame and totally smooth auto exposure management through a tough lighting transition. Really loving this camera.
@@blackburst1 keen to see that shot! Yeah I’m slowly (very slowly) changing over to the rf versions. Defs think there are auto focus advantages for sure 👍
Great stuff. Kudos for the anti-GAS content. I have known for years now that if I was starting from scratch, Sony would be where I’m at. But I’m not starting from scratch. I started from Canon in 2007 and my workflows and lenses have been with Canon. It would take a big problem to switch to Sony.
Thanks! And like really, want could happen to the gear we have right this minute that would make it it useable??? I mean if canon moved to a subscription model where you had to pay for everyone minute of recording or to unlock codecs that would be pretty annoying.
As a Canon shooter, I've been struggling with the decision to switch over to Sony. I'm quite unique in this scenario in that I have the opportunity to get all the lenses I want and an FX6 all brand new for half off, along with two other bodies for 20% off. I am an R3 shooter who's been wanting to buy a C400 and am very comfortable using my Canon gear, but to break even/spend a little extra when making the switch is a very hard decision.
Great video! What Camera and lens did you use to film your talking head? Looks great. I've had the FX6 and FX3 from the beginning, what I hate most about them is the moire and aliasing and the mushy codecs with that weird Sony tint. Canon and Nikon have much cleaner color. Thanks.
This video was with my c70, 50mm 1.4 and a Godox panel bouncing of the wall. I must admit I’ve never really enjoyed Sonys blues in the highlights. I can spot it a mile away!
That is the difference with Canon and Sony shooters. You are reasonable and saying don't grab your credit card and go nuts. On the other hand I saw MANY Sony shooters trashing the C70 and telling people to dump Canon a few years ago. It's funny. Now most of those same people have dumped Sony and are shooting RED of something else. I too am well vested in Canon. I never complained. I never had an issue. But I am gonna go the other way. Dump Sony and get a Canon C400!!! Ha.
This has inspired a video topic for me. I’m trying to make a list. Care to contribute? (With credit of course!) BEFORE YOU BUY: 1) Will this make me FASTER? 2) Will this improve my QOL? 3) Will this make something I COULDN’T do for an upcoming project possible? (If this is your main reason, rent it!) Must include 2 out of 3 before seriously considering.
I like this! Yeah something around the following, no stress if you don’t use them either ☺️ Will the client notice? Is there return on the investment Do you feel emotionally attached Have you physically tried/ tested said item Ask a friend/ colleague their thoughts Ask someone who has it what they done like about it and would they buy it again

Such a good combo! Oh man we were all very patient waiting for the c400! But as you said, very much worth it!

I was super stressed! This calmed my nerves, Thank you
👍 Are you shooting with fx6?
Note: I said 13 years with canon, I meant to say 6 years, I only changed to Canon in 2018.
(13 years was when I sold my Nikon d3 for the Nikon d810)
Thanks for the video, great info
Cheers!

Yeah wow that is a hard one, almost a nil cost change over makes it interesting.
Is there a client benefit to making the switch atm?
Totalt agree. Own many different brands. (Not fx6) I think fx6 seems like a great camera. Keep it if you got it!
Cheers John!

C80 is the way.. just waiting on the FX6II to match the C80.. 😉
It will be very interesting what Sony pack into fx6ii
