I love this camera and i've never used it

Should be studying for an exam in 10 minutes but here I am watching a review for a camera I will never be able to afford. 😂

Yep. I'm getting it.

That blown out video recovery just blew my mind 🤯 wow! That raw video makes it all worth it!

Canon FTW 🙌🔥🎥 Beautiful review Armando!! And that T-shirt is on point 👌

I have had this camera for 6 weeks it's brilliant. Sold my FS7 straight away. If you need higher bit depth use raw its so easy. Great Video

Your videos are allways great Armando!!! Love from Greece 👋👋👋

Great review Armando. I bought the first C200 sold in Australia and I love it. It is super easy to use run and gun. Just switch it on. DPAF is sooo good. Even the 8 bit looks better than Sony 10 bit. Low light rocks. I work in the humanitarian space and this camera is perfect for hostile and complex environments. I team it with my Canon XC10 which is also great, especially for sensitive areas where I just want to look like a normal aid worker. lol. Thanks again.

I love my c200b. It’s perfect for What I do. KZfaq and low budget client work the 4K 8bit 420 is more than enough. And when I’m doing larger budget stuff the Raw is incredible. People complain about no middle 10bit codec. But it’s perfect for what I do.

Awesome break down man, seems like this would be my dream camera!

Thank you for your video Armando! I got my C200 a little after you and I agree it is the best camera to own for most of us! It is a dream to own and operate, thank you Canon!

Awesome video watched full 20 mins without realising video is going to over so much immersive . Lighting is also awesome.

Thank you. Have been debating for years, literally years, on pulling the trigger on a C100/200/300. Ahhh! I think I’m going to do it!

Man, you rock... I’m keeping following you. Congratulation from Rome, Italy. All the best

Coming from Ursa mini pro, using this camera is so sweet!!! Perfect, every thing is in the right place. Most of the time the UMP log is quite inconsistent (shifting colors) while I like the density of C200. And is incredible how good is 420 8bit XF-AVC. far better of many 422 10 bit cameras!!

Great review Armando! You made me want to instantly buy this camera... I have been using Canon since about 20 years, starting with XM-1 (I used it more than 10 years and then gave it away to a young cameraman in Madagascar who is still using it!), followed by the XM-2 (problems with the electronics right from the start), then my absolute favorite XH-A1S which I am missing so much. I had to buy a new camera, because the new laptops don't have a IEEE1394 connection anymore and tape-based operation is not ideal in the hot and humid climate of tropical countries where I live. I bought the XA-30 which I consider a big mistake - I never know what I am doing, no indication, and everything hidden in the menu! I am looking for a camera which has all manual controls and 3 continuously variable adjustment rings for zoom, iris and focus like my XH-A1S - but with state-of-the-art 4K quality... It seems this is the C2000 - now I have to find the money (or wait until someone wants to sell his used model...).

What type of camera bag is shown at 0:53? It looks nice for this type of equipment.

Excellent review, Armando! I think this could be an okay upgrade to my Panasonic G7!

I work with the C200 for about a year now and 100% agree with your conclusion

Let me just say, sir, that this has been one of the best reviews of anything that I have looked up on YT. I found this to be to the point, not nit-pickey, not wandering down rabbit holes, and without gimmicks or overbearing personalities. For that I say, thank you. I wish more reviews could be like this one.

I've Filmed with Reds, Sony's, Lumix, Canons and I got to use c200 for 5mins when it came out. C200 in my opinion is the best all rounder for loads of small reasons.

Great video Armando. But... wow, that thumbnail looked like a Film Riot thumbnail! haha

I'm new to the channel but this has been the most informative video I've seen in a while. Keep up the great work! *Subscribed*

I must say. Listening to your Audio is a delight. No matter where your face looks. The Audio is perfect. Nice Job. Little but important thing most KZfaqrs don't give a shit about. 👍🏻

I know after my upgrade from the A6300 to the A73 that the Canon C200 will be my first and pretty much only proper video only camera for KZfaq and weddings. Ashame it doesn't have the ability to shoot ProRes RAW and also you can't use the HDMI and SDI out at the same time. Nonetheless this is a much better camera for video than the 1DX ii which for the live of me make no sense for video with the awesome C200. great video review man💯

Great content! Love your stuff dude!

We use this camera at work for run and gun shoots and documentary storytelling. We recently purchased a monitor hood that attaches via velcro. It was a good buy for outside shots.

Really a great analysis, and great job in the video. I am a life long Canon user, and I own a Canon C300 II, 5D mark IV..and all the L series lenses. Having said that, I bought the Panasonic Eva1. I will tell you right up front, the Canon C200 is a lot simpler to use, and the auto focus alone is head and shoulders above EVA1. In every other category, the Eva1 kicks the C200's butt!!! It's not acceptable to pay the same price and not future proof your camera. Great point about Raw recording and outputting in 4:2:2, but two down side is massive storage requirement, very tedious post production process vs EVA1..and by the way, side by side, even the canon raw falls apart next to the EVA1 image. It really breaks my heart to say this. I have been a life long Canon guy, but to me ...Canon is taking us for granted, and short changing it's users for their own profit. That's not acceptable to a loyal long time customer like me. You also didn't mention the horrible mp4 format recording....but aren't we going backwards? I own an inferno shogun ...and I use that with Canon and Panasonic....and Panasonic kills Canon raw image even using the external recorder. Now if you are doing run and gun, you tube and docs only, the C200 is great. Just my two cents. You really did a great job with your video. Earned my follow :)

Best C200 review yet mate..subbed and liked

I use C200 for wide variety of jobs, from weddings in 1080p, to commercial jobs in RAW, it is IMO the best camera on the market, including Arri. The colors are very very close to Arri, but everything else is better (much faster) to work with.

Owning the C200 since last October I have to agree with alot of what you said. Its one of the best cameras for my type of workflow and cannot recommend it enough to 1 man bands like myself. I shot my latest short film 95% of the time on it and will be posting it very soon.

Great review Armando. I'm going out to buy one!

That lighting 👌💯

Very nice. We learned a lot today. Thank you for sharing.

Very clear and informative video. Man, am I glad that I ever subscribed to your channel!!!

Great review! Love my 1DX II, but want this bad boy!

Awesome video! I'm pretty new to cinema cameras and don't understand all the tech but this was super informative.

great review Armando. Just one question: what about the dynamic range of this camera? Is it any better than that of the 1DX2?

Killer video man! Couldn't help but notice that you were back focused the entire video though, too bad you didn't have the C200's amazing focus for this one haha. Keep up the great content though, truly inspirational.

Fabulous and informative video!

The Dual Pixel AF basically killed every other cinema camera out there for many users. Sports films, docu, run n gun, one man team. C200 is the way to go. Even Sony's AF is no match.

Fabulous video, you are a rock solid reviewer!

This was a great review btw. Exactly the kind of info I was looking for to help with my purchase decision.

Great review. Thanks. I've been eyeing the C200 for a few months now, and I feel like I might just make it happen.

Very helpful, thanks for the video and info.

Thanks for sharing the knowledge 🙏

I bought one and I’m obsessed with it!

Best explanation and examples of editing RAW that I've seen thus far. Nice. What program are you using at 10:16 to edit the RAW footage? Adobe Premiere Pro CC?

I'm currently applying for the Canon business financing option and really thinking about getting the C200. Thanks for the insight!

one of the best vids, for a photographer, i wish my best for you

amando i love your back groung set up

WOW wow WOW soooo much precious content !! Super important information for the. People upping their game !!! THANK YOU !!

How much record time would you get using 12 bit raw on a CFast? Thank you for this review btw

Awesome Video, Very Detailed! I’m getting one

really like your straight forward presentation.

I added the camera to my cart for my next purchase, I love your videos Armando

Also, are you color grading this in post? Your lighting and color have gotten so good, I'm really curious how you did it here.

This was very informative, thank you

12-Bit internal RAW recording, small form factor, and the sublime Autofocus are this camera's superpowers...and it has a power button (sadly, the other buttons are useless) Great video, sir. Thanks!

great video mate

Thank you so much! I Love this Review! You Transport so much positive Energy when you Talk about the positive things. My heart beats faster. I‘m gonna buy this Camera next month 😍

Good review. Canon DEFINITELY likes segmenting their products, but they also don't release products that have issues like overheating. No HDMI out is a joke just to segment and is stupid.

People, just shoot 12bit Raw 4K! Is a wet dream. This camera is so pleasant to use, the ergonomics are just perfect for any situation 🎥 I love ❤️ it

Thanks a lot for the review !

Wow! Great video. Thank you for this.

This camera looks so beautiful

Great review and I agree with 95% of what you stated. As far as using the monitor outside, we've been shooting a documentary on the ocean for the past almost year with the camera, the solution is so simple. Turn up the luma on the screen to +2 and add a Hoodman H400. Works a charm in nuclear daylight. The only drawback is the Hoodman slightly covers the right or left edge of the screen to occasionally your audio meter is covered but most of the time I am shooting b-roll so I set and forget audio levels with a safety channel so no big deal for me. You cna slide the Hoodman ovewr to reveal but then you are cropping a bit of the left hand side of the screen then. Not perfect but makes it workable for a lot of scenarios. I agree, I shoot with the C300 MKII a lot also and I much prefer the C200 to the C300 MKII, it's smaller, lighter, easier to cradle, better monitor, hate the clamshell on the C300 MKII and the AV cables that snag on everything and get in the way. Wish that Canon would make a still photo L better, newer version of the 17-55 2.8 IS. I love the 18-80 T4.4 but it's expensive, have to have the Zacuto right hand cable, T4.4 is too slow for certain scenarios and I like 2.8 better and the balance when cradling makes it too front heavy. I would gladly pay $2,200.00 for a new 17-75 2.8 IS II STM L lens Canon, get it together. Servo is cool but not a huge requirement for run and gun documentary style shooting for me. The lack of a 10-bit 4:2:2 codec is a none factor for me. The C200 is a RAW camera with proxy and MP4 added as an afterthought, which is fine for quickie, KZfaq video or long long interviews. But CRL is where it's at. If you need 10-bit 4:2:2, but a different camera, right? Oh, yeah, and Canon PLEASE enable CRL in UHD, not just DCI. DCI is useless for most of us who aren't shooting narrative, it's just an extra step to get rid of the 17:9 black bars. I would REALLY prefer to shoot CRL in 3840 x 2160.

thank you..I need something i can use myself,not too much needed as accessories,and i like the storage options...

Great video, Armando. Auto focus is an amazing thing and even more amazing is that “only face” feature I didn’t know!!! The only thing for me is that I have the R with an RF lens, and that uses EF lenses..., so I’d have to buy EF lenses and that’s a further expense ☹️. Waiting to September 24th to see the new cinema camera that will use RF lenses! Thanks

Hey Armando, that shot at 10:53 that you performed the highlight recovery on, what were your shooting and post process settings to regain those highlights? I recently bought a C200 and am not getting the same result on similar test shots I’ve done.

thanks for the video. in 2022 after the updates can the canon c200 shoot 10 bit raw ? i have seen in other article. please share your thoughts

Hello, congratulations for the channel, it is a place of reference. I raise a question: if you could choose, for a KZfaq channel, to buy a video camera, which one would you choose between the Canon c 200 and the Canon XF705. Taking into account the image quality, functions, handling and similar prices. Thank you for your proposals.

First of all I am not a video guy and have almost zero knowledge about it, your review is very complete and quite easy to understand I enjoy watching it. I've watched lot of review on video cameras, multi function DSLR/Mirrorless and pure video cameras, most of them are not built like a regular video camera, they are more like a still camera, user has to install add on kits to make it handle like a regular video camera and that cost lot of money, only the Canon like yours built and handle like a regular video camera. I don't know the cost of the units, but if I were to shoot video in regular basis I would consider something like yours instead of those 'boxy' ones, and I believe high end video cameras like yours can handle stills equally well if it does take still. One more thing, I don't know why, 99% of the review on video camera are shot with 'flat profile' (please excuse my ignorance on terms), the image is so flat and dull very boring, only your review shown the natural color, it is the norm these days to shoot like that ? and I agree with you that Canon produces natural skin tone, I am not a Canon fan but I've seen photos shoot with Canon film camera is just like that.

great review!

Brightness can be increased in the menu. It very bright actually, I shot in sunny days. 2k 10bit 422 thru sdi 4k 8bit 422 thru hdmi Battery price is the hell. Color science is nice, but not so cool like on the Dragon or Alexa.

Thank you for sharing. Great video!

Thank you!!! Good video sharing!!!

We currently use C100s, and are considering upgrading to the C200. We don’t have a need to shoot in raw, or even 4K....so would the sensor on the C200 still give us enough improvement on the overall image quality to justify the upgrade? I guess I’m asking if has a significantly better sensor than the C100 has? Great overview video by the way! Thanks

Hi Armando! Really appreciate all of your content on the C200. I've been considering buying one for months and am very close to pulling the trigger. I absolutely love how you've customized yours with the top handle and arm for the monitor. Wondering if you could post links to these pieces?

Canon is the reason I love Blackmagic. Cannon holds back features so they can upscale your purchase. Blackmagic gives you everything they possibly can fit within their form factor. The C200 is a cool camera though.

Great video!

Thank you so much for this video!

Dope video!

I am in love with this camera... one day it will be mine! 😎

I want to have a separate camera for filming and not use this same camera for photos. I am defiantly buying this camera. Thank you Armando for this review.

So early, I can't watch in 4k yet.. be right back!

I made the switch from the Sony Fs5 to the Canon C200. Best decision I have made.

Thanks for sharing! Very informative. It's one year later after the date you posted this video. I'm seriously thinking to get a C200. Is C200 still a good choice for shooting gun and run documentary film?

i need a review on this from a filmmakers standpoint. Everyone who reviews the camera mentions documentaries and corporate work. what about film/narratives? any filmmakers have experience with this camera? whats your thoughts?

You're recording audio directly into Audition. Great way to keep the background busy with those waveforms ;)

I watched a lot of pro/con videos on C200 and one thing that rarely gets discussed: the camera’s fan exhaust is located on operator side of the camera where a person’s ear is generally located when the camera is on a shoulder rig. The fan intake is on the opposite side where the grip is. Why didn’t Canon flip the fan so the intake is on the operator side? Or put the exhaust on the back side of the camera?

Very much appreciate the info and to see you took the same route with the top handle I think I would. What top plate are you using for this c200?

Great video. Question… I’m thinking of buying the version that is the body only, but does that mean the autofocus will not be included? In this video I got the impression that autofocus was only available with the touchscreen monitor. Thinking about it further, I guess it would make sense that the auto focus would not be included because the monitor facilitates changing focus points, etc. I just want to confirm. Kind thanks.

Is there an electronic level display in C200 like the most DSLR do? Can’t find it in the menu...

Great video

Hey bud, can you link us to the accessories you have on the C200? Cheese plate and arms and such?

Hi Armando. Great video and thanks for your work. I usually do run and gun shooting and use auto-focus. I am one man team :) My 2 lenses are Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 and sigma 24 - 70mm 2.8. I use shotgun mic attached to camera but very often I pick up auto-focus noise from lenses. Do you have any experience with this or maybe advice for very quiet lens?

Great video - I've been using - with pleasure - the C100 so ready to upgrade. Could I check - what is the camera rig you are using?

If this had the same frame rate and res options as the Ursa pro, it would be unbeatable

Awesome Videos, What lens are you using with the C200, Just got mine yesterday, Had Sony A9 and Fs700 and made a total switch Sony to Canon.
