4K NAB WARS

Canon is insane. They're just not getting any more money from me. Not even for a $400 EF lens...

The EOS C is running a DigicV processor... just like the 5DIII. So not only did they render the C300 obsolete... they're simply just up-selling $3500 hardware with better software. They can go screw themselves.

[Björn Benckert]

Talk about making Obsolete your own technology before it even comes out, I fill sorry for all of those that purchased the C300, as well as all of those that purchased the 1D X, as now the C500 and the 1D C, will OBSOLETE both of them...


So happy I'm out of that game, and in to RED... ;)

agree there must be people out there that are still waiting to get there c300, and been told by the sales person that it's as good as it gets... then canon do what they always did.. the make you feel that that camera you bought not to long ago now has a vantage value..

Hold on a sec.. before you stop giving them all your money, keep the wallet open a little bit to keep buying lenses. They make great glass and I want them to continue on doing so.. Nothing makes me happier than running around with the Canon 70-200mm on my Epic. :)

lol

[Josh Beadle]

Xactly!!!

Jarred i believe Nikon make a pretty sweet 70-200...

That is true... but no more money for camera bodies... :)

A camera doesn't determine what is "cinema". It is the story, performances, characters, and overall production. I love my RED gear but saying that the C300 isn't a true "cinema camera" is inaccurate because it can very well be. And yes, there's nothing wrong with having a camera that is capable of shooting in all natural light. Just ask Mr. Mallick and Lubezki.

Lol, this is just too funny.

[Klas Persson]

How is c500 making the c300 more obsolete than Epic do to Scarlet? One costs more and do more. Same thing. And the 1D-dslrs are two totally different beasts. I'd be pretty pissed if I was mainly a still photographer and Canon only released 1D c.

[Antonio Ribeiro]

Don't get me wrong, I fell in love with my 5d mkII the first time I held it. It changed how I shoot and lit a fire in me that still has not gone out.

I also think this announcement is what the Nov 3 2011 announcement should have been. The specs on both the cameras look interesting, and if I had $15 grand to blow I might just buy the EOS 1D-C.

My problem is that I love Canon but they are just off the mark ever since the C300. I mean why would I spend that $15 grand on the 1D-C for 4K 24fps when I could drop that into a Scarlet and get 4k at 24 - 30fps, not to mention shooting in RAW and on top of that I get HDRx. Granted the cost of media is quite a bit more, and the batteries are not the best.

Canon you really have forgotten about the camera and the people that really kicked off the DSLR movement. Stop dreaming about Hollywood and come back to us.

Again, very happy I went with Red.

The good thing about all this 'war' business is that in the end of the day this can only be good news for us Scarlet owners. The closer these cameras compete with each other, the closer they come to the Scarlet, the more likely we are (Scarlet owners, not Canon) to get some nice juice upgrades (some free, some at a price) and upgrade, upgrade, upgrade. I am glad I bought the camera I did with a huge amount of sacrifice. And I feel secure somehow as Red is a company of visionaries that will as much as possible keep things evolving.

P.S. And yes, oh boy, did the 5D MkII change the game and moved me up a few ranks enabling me to own a RED camera today...
