*Mid tier and lower sure. 500k plus productions we aren’t looking at cannon

Canon doesnt need those amateur youtubers (which imo shooting youtube contents no need to be professional ini any ways compares to movie production hahaha) canon know their market very well they wont go low to tarnish their brand

I have three Canons and have been a Canon shooter for a decade, have two documentary films I shot on Canons on HBO. That said, as a freelancer, I haven’t been asked for Canon in at least four years. It’s ALWAYS Sony. So much so that I just had to buy an FX6. I really didn’t want to buy an FX6 but I’m glad I did because I have regular clients who already own Sonys and they want to hire me with a Sony. I even tried integrating one of my Canons into a live multi camera shoot and they hated it so I rented an FX6 for a few weeks and then decided buying a Sony was the smart business decision. The AF is really good, the E VND is superior to my Canons. Other than that, I prefer Canon colors, skin tones, and build quality, by far. I own thirteen EF lenses and one E mount lens I bought for this recurring gig. I hope the C400 can break the stranglehold that the Sony FX cameras have on low to mid level production soon but I don’t think it will. Canon waited far too long to introduce new cameras and Sony took their market share. If I had clients who didn’t care which camera system I shot with, I’d consider the C400, but my client base seems to really only have Sony on the brain.

Agree - for commercial work (500k-5M+) it’s Sony, Red, Arri. Doesn’t take anything away from cannon - I still think the og c300 stomped the Red One/Scarlett but more for personal work or to your point doc

of course not when you are working with those cameras lol

@@noranoskyle4417 The thing I love about the C70 is I can shoot it alone on a director scout and on B roll days. A lot of times I will get footage in advance of the full crew day that ends up in finished edit because the light was perfect. It's funny how the conditions on scout day are always ideal. So is the Canon C70 better than an Arri Alexa? If the Arri Alexa is sitting on a shelf in a rental house and I'm on location with the C70, yes.

​@@josephberkeley The c70 is probably the most go-to camera. That camera won't see a mark ii for some time. When there is mark ii release nobody should expect the price of the mark I to drop much

It tells us that canon is clinging to the last people in this market since they are losing so much market share in the video world since Sony took over with the FX6/FX9 for documentary work (which Canon used to dominate in). On higher commercial or movie sets, Canon was never a thing.

@@philippscheithauer That was exactly my thought. I have seen people that like this camera but they already have a C70 or c500ii or both. This is the target public for this camera. I guess Canon is bleeding their last loyal customers.

Sony has really caused a disruption by listening to their customers. I hope Canon can pull through, otherwise there wont be any competition left. The burano still tops out here, bar the 2ms difference in 6k 50fps rolling shutter.

@@LoungearoundTV The Price of the Burano tells you how much Sony knows about the market. In that segment, the exec produces that are paying the gig, are going to think if it cost as much as a camera X, it must be as good as camera X. Cranky cameraman was just talking about that. Clientes often want more expensive stuff, because they are already in so deep.

@@nyambe The burano is the only IbIs camera with ND filters and works with Pl Mounts with 16bits instead of 12bit raw (40x the quality of 12bit). Not really a good comparison. It's miles ahead.

The GH7 image won't hold up to the C400

@@contentm3893 Of course it won't. It doesn't have the same dynamic range, nor is it a full frame sensor. I didn't indicate, that it would. But they've added some very interesting features for a very compact package.

C400 would step on it like it step on a dust.... no feeling anything 🙁

C400 hundred has an announced dynamic range of 16 stops. That's huge. C500 mkii is 15+. I think he might've misread that. But who knows. Only real world testing can tell.

Canon are saying that. Otherwise why still sell the C500m2 for $2k more?

The reason it's called c500 which is above c400, and there are some huge differences between them, likewise the full size XLR inputs , the evf on the back of c500, dual CFexpress cards found in c500 and some buttons and layouts changes

Canon has never been at the cutting edge of innovation. They will add 32 bit in a couple years (or 8 😅)

CVP's video. It could be that they were talking about USB-C being open. It hasn't been confirmed yet.

I loooove the Venice look and often use Sony products but personally I just enjoy using Canon.

The Gh7 image will be lacking. Go for it though and that 4/3 sensor

Don’t you need a 500 bucks audio module for 32 bit? Isn’t it the LogC a software key PAID license, that limits your ISO options and lacks DR?

That sounds like a mexican food

@@mbismbismb A lot of the cool kids call it the Burrito, even some who own it.

I would say that this is an upgrade from C500 II. I have an FX9 and I am thinking of going to the C400. Also thinking if it would be a downgrade but looking at it on paper the C400 beats it and does more.

What? Where? When?

@@CrossCory 4:35

Spot on. EVERY CAMERA performs brilliantly in the right hands

@@Mr_Kenneth perfectly said. People will praise this camera until another one releases next month lol. I always think about the audience and the ones watching really give two shits what you shot with just as long as they can see it clear enough and the audio is good to their ears with a good story. The way camera companies make money is to mKe new cameras.

That EVF is more expensive than the C400. Just get a Gratical and be happy.

C400 has a USB C connector now (that sends data and power). This means that you can use third party EVFs which work through USB C, like the nice new Blackmagic one.

@@phrasalsyntax What if the Blackmagic signal is proprietary to Blackmagic cameras only?

@@queefreak666 could be, but BM typically don't like those type of corporate policies (differently than Canon and Sony) so we have to see. If BM doesn't a allow its EVF to be used, other manufacturers will come with solutions. I hear from a representative from Canon that they will allow that in the case of an EVF and that's good news because a camera is not a real camera if it lacks an EVF in my opinion.

Full frame for life

I used to think FF was stupid, still do to a point, I dislike the FOV compared to S35 for one thing. The heavier, more expensive lenses for another. BUT , I did recently buy an FX6 for a particular client who has repeating weekly gig that they shoot on two other Sony cameras so I kind of had to buy a Sony for this client. It's shot in a theater with theatrical lighting which as many of you have experienced, translates to pretty low lighting levels for video shooting. It is a live streamed gig so shooting Slog 3 with it's base ISOs of 800/12,800 isn't possible but the FX6 in S-Cinetone still has base ISOs of 320 and 5000. At ISO 5,000, our TD still is amazed by how good the image looks. I own three Canons and they look decent at ISO 2500 but the Sony is impressive at ISO 5000. I still don't like the FOV, but for this gig, where I don't get to light it and I have to work with whatever the LD is putting out, the FX6 has been an effective tool, client loves how good the images look at such a high ISO. I'm still not a fan of Sony and I think this FX6 is crappiest built pro camera I have ever owned but for this one gig, it serves its purpose well because of the FF, high base ISO and really good AF. It's handheld (well, Easy Rig) with me constantly moving and switching off subjects who are also moving so the AF is kind of a necessity even though I prefer manual focus mostly. The takeaway is, even if you aren't a fan of a certain camera or manufacturer, sometimes, it's still the right tool to use. I shot the first few episodes with one of my Canons and the client did not like the footage, so I rented the FX6 a couple of times and they loved it so I had to buy it. This gig will have the FX6 paid for in about two more months of shoots and then it will generate profit/income for me each week and I already used it for a gig for Mazda North America that paid a good chunk of it off too. Corporate clients really love Sony.

@@danbrockettDOP​​⁠I completely agree. The point of my comment was to just say FF has been such a trend for everybody lately that it makes it so that it sounds like the only and best option. I don’t dislike FF at all. But I do believe that sometimes some people can overlook great systems and image quality simply because of sensor size. But I do completely understand you point and it’s valid.

Nonsense, the EF mount is a dead mount. With the RF mount, there are many more lenses that are available. You can get a RF-M mount to add Leica lenses. And you can always add an adapter that will allow you to use EF or PL lenses. With the RF mount, you can now use the beautiful Cooke SP3 lenses which are small and soon the new Zeiss Nano lenses.

Insane wanting it to be EF in 2024.

@@FelixCervantes even the cine servo lenses still rocking Ef mount, how could it be dead and nonsense?

@@yousifwleed1935 It's definitely dead since Canon has stopped making EF lenses years ago but there are literally millions of EF lenses out there. I agree with the others though, it is smarter to buy a camera with a modern mount like RF, L or E mount and adapt EF lenses to it. I own fifteen EF lenses including the CN E 18-80 t/4.4 so I want to keep using my EF lenses since they are like old friends at this point but a more modern mount is a better investment,.
