Canon 300c Specs as they come

[Daniel Dols]

iPad WEBAPP! It was in Safari. I predict lag.

Also:
6:25PM "Literally, you can just take this camera and go make a movie."

Sounds a little 'make your own movie!' to me.

But - will only judge when we've heard some specs.

 

[SeanBrown]

Seems to take pl and ef. hard to tell.

 

[Mikael Lubtchansky]

Is it me or does that look familiar!

looks very familiar indeed...

 

[Joel Kaye]

But - will only judge when we've heard some specs.

A shootout will be the thing.

 

[Ryan Brown]

Seems to take pl and ef. hard to tell.

Engadget says one or the other. Your choice, but not both

Red blows it again. First and foremost - this is what happens when a small company (RED) gives away a good idea 5 years before they can actually produce a working prototype; they get their butts handed to them by the big boys. Loose lips sinks ships and I don't know how RED stays afloat with all the chatter. Don't you know the entire content of Japan was built on intellectual theft? Why do you keep helping them steal from you? The first time anybody ever head the word 'Scarlet' should have been a week before it's release. I didn't buy a Red One four years ago because I was waiting on a Scarlet... since then I've owned ten other cameras - not a single one of them a Red because they keep dangling the carrot that never materializes. Canon and Panasonic on the other hand have made a mint off of me, mainly because when I was buying cameras like the Mark II they weren't telling me how awesome the Mark III was going to be when it's released next month, no next month, no next month..... Second - the Scarlet announcement should have been last night. Canon's shindig today would have been an afterthought if Red had come out last night and dunked on them - assuming of course Red actually has a product read to bring to the market.

I think this cam is supposed to compete with the Epic. Not the Scarlet.
The Epic has already been available for some time, while this camera is just getting announced. Canon would've 'stolen' the concept eitherway.

Someone is about to be banned.

Im sure he doesnt care..

He probably is a canon rep

 

[SeanBrown]

This think looks like a rip on red.. Shame on CANON!

 

[John Bannister]

first thoughts....just another Cam. Specs look impressive, but certainly dosnt look modular or expandable...a smaller version of the X1, to soon to tell....

 

[Justin Marx]

looks like a plasticy toy

 

[Brandon J.F.]

Yeah, Fisher Price version of an Epic.

 

[Adam Palmer]

Indeed it does!

 

[Kyle Gentz]

Still no specs

 

[Mike 'Fireman' Ross]

I hearby dub thee the Plastic Fantastic.

Now let's hand the evening over to someone who knows how to make professional movie cameras...

Mike

[Brandon J.F.]

Engadget: "6:33PM Got a shot in a jail cell on screen that's looking fairly noisy."

 

[Anthony Vu]

Wow. No 1080p60.

 

[Paolo Tinari]

6:34PM Didn't see much of that in the first film, but it looks a bit worse than the picture we're accustomed when we go to the local movie theater.

Repots of Noisy footage.

 

[Adam Palmer]

"Daylight scenes are still looking good, but the noise persists in the low light shots."
