This was exactly the comparison I was looking for! Thank you.

There are two great sources for C200 user info: Canon's user documentation and the Ben Schubert C200 videos. This video in particular is fantastic and super-helpful. Thanks for sharing Ben!

C200 owner here. I was waiting for a video like yours thank you!

I have owned my C200 since the beginning of 2018 when they came out. Happy to give any input or help I can. Especially when it comes to cinema light RAW

I've have been shooting photos with Canon DSLRs for years and just decided to buy the C200 because I want to get into video. Best "tutorial" on this camera!

Great tutorial, I appreciate the test shots to go along with the information! I have recorded to mp4 ever since I received the camera (basically when it came out) along with a few projects in RAW and it has worked well; my clients are happy. What I have not tried out is the XF-AVC codec, I'm curious to see the difference over mp4. Also, I've been debating on whether or not to get the ninja V, it looks amazing from your footage. TY

Did you grade this footage in post? Did you shoot in C-LOG or Wide DR or Eos Standard? I find it tricky to get my C200 looking crisp and sharp with good color saturation and nicely crushed blacks. Some insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

This is quite an interesting test. I mostly shoot 8bit for personal work. I did not find any difference when I did internal vs External. But I sure should use my NINJA V much more often now. The only bummer is having 2 monitors to shoot for run and gun stuff. But if you are saying the pull and Push - ability is more then it is worth the pain.

I’d be interested in seeing more of your 1080FHD 10-bit 4:2:2 tests. I have a C200, but have never used an external recorder with it.

Thanks for the vid! Somewhat related comment, according to an interview with a Canon rep there is an update coming to the C200, whereas you'll be able to output to both the HDMI and SDI output soon. So that's good.

In your tests, did try using the SDI output to capture 2K DCI 10-bit 422 on the external recorder? I know the camera is capable, but I haven't seen any example footage anywhere. Super curious. Thanks!

I had a similar impression to you with MP4 when I picked up my C200, a bit underwhelming at first: resolution way under par in 8 bit, too much noise in shadows above ISO 500, needs colour tweaking in camera so switch on and set other settings in menu to crunch up blacks but keep wide DR profile but tad more saturation. MP4 is not true 4K it’s only about 1500 -1600 lines of horizontal resolution and I’ve had it projected onto a big screen and I can safely say GH5 is way crisper. Thankfully RAW is a significant step up and the camera really does grow on you.

Ext. ProRes UHD 8bit 4:2:2 vs Ext. ProRes HD 10bit 4:2:2. What is your take now on these two formats ? Is the UHD still better, especially after grading ? Have you tried to superscale (with Resolve) the ProRes HD 10bit 4:2:2 and if so how does it compare with the Ext. ProRes UHD 8bit 4:2:2 ? I have a Ninja Blade only recording HD, do you think it is worth getting a Ninja V to record in UHD? I film in RAW but I wish to have a good 4k fallback footage. I don’t like the internal UHD 8bit 4:2:0. It is too mushy compared to ProResed RAW.

Thanks

Can you make a video talking about the different colour profiles on the c200 and what ones you would use and why?

Отличная стрижка 💇‍♂️👌

idk why but my ninja doesnt let me go over uhd24 how do i change that i have a c200b??

Hey from Coquitlam! Just received my c200 and the same thing - waiting for CFast card :) I've tried to compare internal mp4 to my pretty old external Ninja 4.2.2 10 bit (it is HD only) - like ground and sky, huge difference. Especially after correction. For now, I see internal compressed recording useless, and waiting to play with raw - for me is it also the main reason for this purchase.

How’s the low light at around 6400 cause I usually never go over that ever

Great video Ben! Question if you don't mind. I heard that the waveform doesn't display on external monitors on the C200 when using HDMI - only through SDI. Is that true? Thanks!

How did you manege to record on a ninja V. Wich settings are there

Ben, thanks for this. Actually the 1080p 10 bit don't look all that bad--it's basically a good basic image. RAW---overrated if you're shooting for KZfaq

do you think if is worth, to have a ninja V, in c200 for kind of replace the expensives cf cards?

So with the Atomos, I can shoot 4k 10 bit color footage?

When you're filming in 8bit are you using Wide DR or Clog?

Nothing made any sense in this video. I can never see any difference or the alledged moiree or which codecs are internal or external. 10bit will only show advantage over 8 bit when you grade it. No grading in this vid.
