Your video is extremely helpful, thank you! Is there a particular brightness level for ambient lighting as this will have a relative effect on exposure adjustments?

2:50 "And I know this because I may or may not have painted our kitchen literally 6 different shades of tan, before I finally got it right and my wife was happy about it..." Haha, this sounds like something from a sitcom! Future video idea?? Hmm?

Brilliant

Great explanation

Chris: I thought same censor and same color science Canon: you just got played son. :D

Is it just me or does the rendering of the face look slightly different between the c300 and c70. like blockier on the c70

You can’t use different lenses when comparing sharpness or color. Lens sharpness is so different across the frame and every model lens has a different color temperature even within the same brand.

정성스러운 영상 입니다 고맙읍니다

This is great! Thank you! I just picked up an XF605 and am hoping to get it to match to my FX6 in camera for a project where post color isn't going to happen. I can set the FX6 to ITU709, so I figured I'd set the 605 to a 709 profile and move on. Can you tell me what the difference is in the Canon camera between BT.709 Normal and BT.709 Standard?

Did Canon in fact update its look-up-tables?

I like more the color form the c300

Regarding All-I vs Long GOP, testing a shot where the tripod is locked and the subject/background is nearly identical, is not helpful to see the benefits of All-I. Remember, since little in the image is changed except for her slight lifting/turning of the model's head, then long GOP is great for this particular scenario. If, however, it were a busy shot like a camera moving on a steadicam through a detailed background environment like brick walls, a busy street, or even along the water, then one can see long GOP start to fall apart in compression compared to All-I. If all one is doing is filming an interview, for example, then long GOP is perfectly fine. Lots of movement & action, however, All-I would help.

who else can recognize this ? only u 😜😆

Man if you think two totally different cameras being that close to identical in log is not matching, then matching doesn’t exist. Go on a tv truck show and match a ikegami with a sd lens and a sony with a hd lens, then you can come back and say whats “matching” 😂. The difference isn’t them not matching its the tolerance difference between sensors on the manufacturing line. They are the same. At least as same as the micro millimeter machines can make em. To be fair its good you saw the 1 percent differences, but this has nothing to do with the cameras, you set up 4 sony f5’s and they’ll be sometimes even more off. No two cameras in log will match closer. Its not possible. Good lesson to learn.

Beautiful. Both story and cinematography.👏🏻

This confirmed many of the things I know but I’m very glad you made it

Absolute gold. I really appreciate these test. 🙌🏼

Whew. LOTS of work, LOTS of time. Thanks for your due diligence!

Hello Chris! Thanks for video comparing these 2 beautifull Canon cameras. I 'm thinking about upgrade to C500MII Did you leave some RAW files from that session or may be others to share them for public?

Gracias por ofrecer más claridad sobre estas dos cámaras , Justo estoy en el proceso de comprar una de las dos

Many, many thanks. I have spent ages entering searches only to find the hosts using SMART lights. Nothing like yours could be found. Then thx to KZbin you laned on my Home screen. I am in the UK but I will look at Waveform first. Having tried several overhead Tubes I mostly find them too bright and too intense. Again, thank you.

Excellent✌

excellent review of IS!

It’s probably better to just use 5000k light bulbs because no one is looking at content under 6500k light bulbs, correct me if I’m wrong

I'm here late, but that c200 footage looks better. I think the f/3.5 lens is making it look better. That f/5.6 glass (aperature/f-stop) on the c500 is not doing it justice. You really want to compare the cmos and how the on-board cpu/processor converts the light-matrix values to a bayer layer. But your comparison videos clearly show that the lens is the key. The camera body is not going to make the image better between a C200 and a c500. When you compare camera bodies, you shoot at in low light conditions like at night, or a night club, church, or inside-building with the same lens. Then you check if the pixels are hitting their limit in the blacks. You also test shooting the sun and very bright conditions to see if the whites get blown out. Next you test shooting a very high dynamic image like a woman sitting at a table in front of the sun. Good video though. It helped knowing that buying a lens will actually make the picture quality better. Its not worth going from c200 to c500. P.S. I am a CSC engineer and embedded programmer for scientific multimedia. I know the better lens is probably on the c200. I'm am here because someone offered me a c500 for $900. I don't want it now. I would have to change my man hours converting video and upgrade my RAM from 256GiB to 512GiB (on a AMD epyc system). I can get the same video quality while using a lossless compression with an embedded camera. I guess if you're hollywood and specs is the key to getting jobs, then maybe get a c500 because they might want 6k. Real good video.

This is a great room, but do you seriously edit on this garbage iMac monitor?..

Curious, why didn’t you just white balance the cameras to your color card? This would have solved the majority of the discernible differences between the cameras - even the lens variable.

This is all well and good, but forget about it if you're doing KZbin. I was shocked the moment I saw my videos I worked hard on using different search engines. Safari, Firefox, Google; they all torture your video, destroying all your work.

Great video! Anybody know where to get the exact Canon WDR LUT he mentioned?

Hello! I followed the link provided in the caption to download the video, but I get the message that reads, "Account is canceled and can not accept new subscribers." Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Amazing job and touching Story! 🙏

Honestly I'm super happy with my C200 I can't think of any reason to upgrade, for a 5+ year old camera it holds up incredibly well.

Solid review!

Buy a ribbon mic and use that to record your voice

I love the scrim with the grid. It's massive! Did you build it from scratch or was it a kit? Thanks for the video! Great advice!

Chris. Its been years since I serviced your camera needs at Video Gear. And as I decided to purchase a C300Mk iii, I needed this exact information. I guess we are even now lol. Happy to see you sir and thank you for this wonderful video bro.

Awesome BTS my man!

Wow great test ! Thanks

Thank you! Very helpful. I currently use the Linkstar RX-11TD. This looks like a great upgrade for size, output, features, and ease of use.

is there any green or magenta tint? Does the color temp change when you add the diffusion?

Iv been looking to find someone that can show the difference rather than talk about it. Some marketing material that showed up was that canon wanted to simulate the arri look with production camera matrix. Would you say its close?

Hi, did you use the same copy of the lens on each camera and do the tests one at a time, or you tested the cameras side by side with a different lens on each camera?

That is why it is recommended that if you need an exact camera match to order two of the same cameras directly one after the other at the same manufacturing facility bc these issues are not exclusive to different camera bodies.

great job. i have c300iii and have the same problem. i think i will only use it (the digital image stabe) on steady shots.

Do you know which stand would fit on this I don't want to spend like some crazy $200 plus is there anyway you could help me find a stand via Amazon? I'm thinking about purchasing this particular lighting for some photo shoot I do with a model I need some light but I need a stand for it

This was great and very inspirational

The DIT community thanks you for your service.

I wish they had some IS on that C70 body...

What if my walls are green, any suggestion for lights considering my environment will change within a year. And the lights are a ceiling fan, should I replace one of the lights of the ceiling fan with one of the lights you recommend in the video or two of them whichever is facing direction of the monitor ?

This is really a very in-depth comparison i have ever seen for C70, C70+.71 booster, and C300MKIII... good work you have done!! Great thanks!!
