Shucks. Thanks so much. Glad it was helpful.

Yes it does. I use it on 95% of my shoots, in part for that reason.

Oh, you should totally have a go at this. It's an amazing learning experience and a ton of fun! Do it on either camera.

@ginger_dog I've been shooting all sorts of things with my little Sony ZV1, live music especially. I love all the sLog picture profiles. Makes the punk gigs look a million bucks after grading in DaVinci.

@@silentrob668 That's awesome!

Sure thing! Thanks for asking.

@@ginger_dog Thank you so much! Just in case you don't have the raw ones, can you send them to me by email?

@@Mattrix07 I'm out of state for Thanksgiving, so it won't be till early next week that I can get to this. Is that ok?

@ginger_dog Yes, no problem. Sorry for the inconvenience, when you are going to send it to me, send me here and I will write you my email :)

@@Mattrix07 I don't seem to have the original footage anymore, but you can copy/download the KZbin video and use that.

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for saying so.

Good for you.

Awesome! Glad I could help.

Absolutely! Glad you found it helpful.

It totally depends on the scope of work, but feel free to email me at [email protected] Just remind me that you are this viewer when you do so I have context.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for saying so.

Wow, so glad. Thanks for saying so. It's a fantastic camera. If you run into trouble with it or have questions, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Awesome! So glad. Thanks for saying so.

Awesome! Congratulations. Glad this was so helpful.

Ha ha. No worries. Hmm, not that I am aware of or have used personally. The only solution I can think of is an external recorder but I'm not sure that that can then feed into the camera.

Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for saying so.

That's awesome! Way to go.

Ha ha! You're funny. So actually, some projects may warrant being shot in EOS Standard. If it's something quick and dirty that isn't going to get a lot of view because it has a super limited scope in what it is being used for (i.e. a training video for a super small volunteer team) than save the time in post and film EOS Standard. I do personally recommend getting to the place where you are mostly shooting C-Log and color grading because that's where all of the control is over the color. Especially in adverse lighting scenarios, you'll have a better shot at recovering stuff. But even in the best of lighting scenarios, you'll be able to fine tune color to be the exact look you are going for. At the end of the day, however, if EOS Standard gives you the end look you need, shoot in it. There's no need to spend time color grading it back to that look.

@@ginger_dog Man, you’re awesome. Thanks for the advice. Your channel is truly a blessing to others. I’m trying to do my part with what I’ve learned from you. Thanks again.

@@lb7144 Wow! That really means a lot to me. Thanks for saying so.

True that.

Yeah, it frustrates me there's no remote. I'd love to know how to use a remote. I don't think it works. You find a solution?

I managed how to figure it out after a bit of frustration 😅 There is a separate app - smart prompt remote Pay the remote subscription fee - I think like 3£ or so per month Connect on the same WiFi network two iOS devices I.e iPad for teleprompter and iPhone for the control - use same logins for iCloud. You can also hotspot it when there is no WiFi. It works to be fair - but not as simple as a Bluetooth connection with hard buttons. Apparently you can use a keyboard via the app too.

You have to launch the iPad into presenter mode and then on your phone in the remote app on the top left there is a connection button

Ha ha. Wow! High praise. Thank you.

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.

@@ginger_dog I got distortion going into a DXA-Alexa. I am doing a KZbin dive to figure out what caused it? If you have any idea, or would be much appreciated🙏

@@CentaurPress So I'm assuming you already scanned for frequencies and matched them up on both packs? Are you running XLR in from the lav to the DXA or phone jack?

@@ginger_dog Thanks so much for responding. I am normally a recording engineer (ProTools) but am helping with a shoot. I am just learning so your video is the first I heard about scanning. I will try that today. It was XLR to XLR.

@@CentaurPress XLR is the less problematic wiring in my experience. Definitely try scanning for frequencies and then match frequencies on transmitter and receiver.

So when you plug this monitor in to your m50, does it disable the m50's LCD screen? My C100 Mkii is not affected by plugging this screen in, so I can navigate for playback with no issue.

So yes, you are actually correct. It's not technically a pixel. I use the term pixels because it illustrates what is going on in the most visually understandable way for people though it is technically inaccurate. I go for practical on this channel, ha ha.

Yes, you are correct. This is a more practical way of illustrating it for people to better understand what is going on.

Glad it was helpful. Thanks for saying so.

Hey, thanks for the insight. That's really helpful.

C100 Mkii. Thanks so much.

Yes, actually, I've been using Teleprompter Pro+ lately and I like it a lot: apps.apple.com/us/app/teleprompter-pro/id1533078079?mt=12

Yes, it should have those advantages over the C80. How much of that viewers will ever actually observe and notice is slim to never.

Thanks. I've gotten some of that feedback and will be changing my approach.

It depends on use case. The Canon C300 Mkii tied for most used camera for Heartland Film Festival documentaries this year and it is a 9 year old camera. Yes, a lot of KZbinrs and high end production houses upgrade regularly, but a surprising number of professionals invest in gear and use it for a decade or more. Image quality isn't going to advance to a level that today's cameras look obsolete any time soon. At a certain point streaming bandwidth capabilities and viewing device resolutions cap out any recognizable improvements to be made in image quality and all of the cameras here offer stunning image quality that I believe will be state of the art for 10-20 years. Integrations with accessories, AI technologies, usability functions and design will all be the next major focus of developing cameras now that image quality is reaching a ceiling. So yes, 10-20 years is a stretch for some users, but not ridiculous for everyone in the industry.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! That's so exciting. You will not regret your decision. It's an awesome camera that will last you a super long time. Way to go!

Hey, thanks for the feedback. I'd be happy to change up the style to make it more enjoyable/consumable for my viewers. Thank you.

Many are for sure. CC are all across the spectrum on camera bodies as Gerald Undone's studio tours reveal.

Sick! Congratulations!

Got to love the MJPEG DCi 4K from the 1DX2 ❤🎥

The C400 will allow you optimal reach in s35 and s16 with the EF L 100-400 for on water wildlife filming.

That's so awesome! Thanks for sharing. Keep me posted on what you decide to invest in. I'd love to see some of your work too!

@@canoedownunder Totally!

Great question. I will say that it seems that native company lenses (i.e. Canon lenses on Canon cameras, Sony lenses on Sony camera) always seem to slightly outperform autofocus responsiveness and accuracy compared to compatible 3rd party lenses. I love Sigma and shoot with them (specifically that 18-35 f1/8) 90% of the time. Autofocus works well and as much love as Canon has put towards the C70 including its autofocus, you should have no trouble. It will certainly do better than your C100 Mkii.

What content/projects will you be capturing?

@@ginger_dog I'm shooting a high key sitcom, so low light capability isn't an issue. That being said, I really don't want to get another camera for 10 years, haha

@@CringePanda In that case, I think the Mkii should be all that you need. Any extra money you would have spent on a Mkiii could go to lenses, lights, follow focus, etc.

Thanks so much Micah. Really appreciate your loyal following and comments. I've owned that pair and it's pretty awesome though if you get (or have) the C300 Mkii, I'd probably use it 90% of the time and pull out the C100 for long form teaching content or quick and dirty work. The C300 Mkii is an incredible camera and still considered state of the art (if you saw my video on Heartland Film Festival cameras, you saw it tied for 1st for most used camera on documentary finalists.) The nice thing about the market is that it always comes down with time. Can you believe the C100 cost $8K when it first dropped? That's what the C400 is right now.

Congratulations on your imminent purchase! Thank you so much for your loyalty as a fan. It means so much to hear and helps me keep going. Thanks so much. Love the rec. I think a C300 Mkiii upgrade first and waiting till the C400 comes down in price makes the most sense as much as I want the C400. Your affirmation helps!

Don’t! Get a C70 instead. As an owner of the C200 I can tell you that the codec options are bad in C200 unless you shoot in raw that’s cumbersome to say the least. Also, no true slowmotion in 4K and really soft slowmotion in HD is just bad.

@@sa.t.2507 Thanks for that real world input. That's so helpful.

@@sa.t.2507 Hello 👋🏾 Thanks for the advice, I truly appreciate it. I’ve looked at the C70 but Canon is still proud of it and I don’t have that long money like Ginger Dog 😂, Seriously, I’ve weighed those other options and I really want to stay with the form factor similar to my C100 MKII. For the Sunday School, Bible Study, and amateur interviews I shoot, the codecs aren’t an issue. I’m fine with 8 bit although I have considered the C300 MKII. It presents other issues for me like the Cfast 2.0 cards. You need two of them for all your shoots. The C200 allows you to shoot on SD cards even in 4K, MP4, 8 bit. Most of my work is shot in 1080p, MP4 with little to no color grade. The C200 is half the price of a C70 right now. If I need a little extra, I have an R6 MKII & 90D. Thanks again for the kind words of experience and advice. I’m talking them into consideration and evaluation.

@@lb7144 no problem glad to help out. I would wait and see to what price the C70 will drop to on the used market now that the C80 will be released. The C200 gives a great image though.

Not a bit. Most clients don't know a thing about cameras and couldn't confidently identify a Mkii from a Mkiii if a million dollars was on the line. In fact, I can't tell you how many people look at my C100 Mkii when it's rigged out and say "Wow! That's a really nice camera!" The thing is over a decade old and can't even shoot 4K. So totally go for a C300 Mkii. In fact, it tied for 1st as the most used camera for documentary finalists in the Heartland Film Festival this year, so even the big boys haven't fully moved over to the Mkiii yet.

@@ginger_dog Be honest, is there any actual image quality difference between III and II that's going to make the audience say "What an awful camera"?

@@CringePanda Here's what I would say: there is actual image quality difference between the Mkii and Mkiii but the audience is not going to notice or think about it. Audiences care more about story, whether a shot is in focus or not, colors, or wildly over/under exposed images. The Mkii is an extremely popular state of the art camera that will remain relevant for a long period of time. The image quality will be improved in the Mkiii via the dual gain ISO which gives you almost an extra stop of dynamic range resulting in more detail in the shadows and highlights. The color science is also improved so you will spend a little less time in post fiddling with it to get it just right. The Mkiii shoots RAW in camera and the Mkii does not but I have never shot RAW and don't see myself doing so for a very long time. The XLR ports where moved from the top handle to the camera body on the Mkiii but I've again never every had issues with XLR being on a top handle. The autofocus is improved but not by a whole lot. So yes, there are differences, but they are minute and nobody is going to look at the footage out of the Mkii and say, "That's garbage" unless you are horrible at exposure, white balance, or focus. I trust you know how to nail those. You can find really nice Mkiiis on eBay for $4,500-$5,500 here: ebay.us/bHoqvq or the Mkiis for about $2,000 here: ebay.us/BIXJ5h Honestly, the Mkiii is not twice as good of a camera as the Mkii but then again, an extra $3K might be worth the improvement in color and dynamic range if you will use it for the next 10+ years. Hope that helps. Let me know if you have any more questions. I'm glad to help.

@@ginger_dog It's very true that my plan is to get a camera and not have to buy another one for 10 years. Thank you so much for the detailed response! I will think about this. I even considered the C400!

@@CringePanda You could get any of the cameras we've talked about and not need to upgrade for 10 years. Another thing to think about is lenses and lighting. Combining the C300 Mkii with a fantastic light and 1-2 great lenses could put you at the cost of the Mkiii body only. Lights and lenses go a super long way in improving your image quality especially when paired with one of these cameras.

No worries. This is the one I am eyeing right now: amzn.to/3Ttt7gW I also really like Potato Jet's collab with SmallRig that is being released soon, but it's twice as much.

I only did it because as soon as this camera was dropped, a bunch of people hyped it up and were pre-ordering it based off of seeing a few of its truly incredible specs. I felt that, like so many Blackmagic cameras, this camera was crazy amazing in some specs and really puzzling and lacking in others. Some of the awesome specs come at a cost that many people don't think about initially, so I wanted to pump the brakes on some of the hype specifically to the audience that follows my channel. I tried to be clear that I was speaking to a specific use case audience and that this would actually be a great camera for some filmmakers. Blackmagic offers some crazy specs at ridiculously low prices but they also really whiff it on important specs to many filmmakers. It's why they have a strong cult following but also only own a small portion of the camera market compared to the likes of Canon and Sony. Great camera for some filmmakers, but not most. Certainly not the audience that follows my channel.
