4K for $10K: Canon C200

[@steenrees1203]

We have 2 x C200s. I have started using the CFAST 2 to SSD Adapter from Marian Munteanu from Italy. $100 EURO incl post to Australia. I get 2 Hrs of RAW on a 1 TB MSATA SSD. This works so well. You can then edit straight off the SSD. The 8 bit is way better than my Sony 10bit. It is all about the Canon colour science.

[@redenex]

Was planning to buy a BMC Ursa Mini, but seriously looking into Canon C200as an alternate option.

[@99stem]

A huge thanks for making the footage downloadable! (i.e. viewable in source quality)

[@johnspencer8982]

Wow this is my first camera ever and it's got crazy features

[@MagnanimousMediaChicago]

That AF paired with the Canon Servo Zoom is Crazy AF.

[@dorsmap]

This channel deserves more subs

The KING of REVIEWS - keep em coming!!!

[@robsmith8589]

The 8-bit looks strong 💪🏽

[@Metaldetectiontubeworldwide]

Great job reviewing the C200 , what a awesome camera...👌 Grtzz johny geerts

[@ludvikherrera]

Thank you for the detailed review and start guide. A question I have is what tripod and head did you have the camera mounted on?

[@theC47]

Thanks. It's the Benro 75mm Hi-Hat and a Manfrotto Fluid Head (502 I believe). Honestly, I love the Hi-Hat (Induro makes a similar one), but would look at a different fluid head if you want to also use on a tripod. Miller & Sachtler come to mind.

[@ludvikherrera]

@@theC47 Thank you for the information on the Benro 75mm Hi-Hat. I've been looking for a solid small tripod. I've been considering the BV4H or S6PRO video heads from Benro. I used to own the 502, it worked but I'd like more indicators like the Benro models, however they're about $100 more expensive.

[@soundbeastin]

I downloaded the RAWLITE footage from your site. This footage seems really noisy. Is this normal for the C200??

[@filmselparaiso6263]

Ya I thought so at first, when I shoot with mine, you just have be careful and grade it the right way cause its raw

[@nataatma]

May I please know the brand and model of that tabletop tripod? looks so sturdy

16:51 Is it just me or It's Black Magic Ursa?

[@vpr5562]

Thank you. Why these days 7k$ camera can work with 8bit 422 but a 1.5k$ camera can do it 10bit 422 :(

[@SigurdGrimsby]

the 1,5k cameras are often crop sensor cameras, this is super 35

[@TVperson1]

Because Dual Pixel AF, ND filters, SDI out, RAW Recording, 3 more stops of dynamic range, some people think colour science, but I can't see that.

[@TVperson1]

@@SigurdGrimsby Speedboosters fix that.

[@RedLensMedia]

Well, the 8bit 420 looks better than the 10bit 422 :D Thats the Reason why we are selling our 1.5k$ Cams and buying two c200. :)

[@andrew.tsurkan]

And the rolling shutter. And this has cooling so you can shoot 4 hours and never have to worry about heat damage and / or camera giving up. ... Besides it looks very pro Very And Canon is overpriced ;)

[@TexMex421]

One of my favorite things about the C100 is the microphones in the handle. For run and gun, they are just there and do a great job. C200 looses that.

[@thewhiskeycowboy-official]

Which is what most reviewing the two say is an advance for the C200 and not a "loss".

[@TexMex421]

@@thewhiskeycowboy-official No, they say moving the XLR inputs to the body is an advantage because they don't loose them when they remove the handle. I've never seen a review say I really need to get rid of these C100 microphones.

[@AWinther]

16:50 and 17:00 is a Ursa shooting the preview shots?

[@steenrees1203]

Great review by the way.

[@PedroHofmann]

excellent review - lot of work. Thanks! What I still would like to know... can you record on a external device like Atomos Inferno in 4K 60 raw?

[@AbelCine_official]

Here is a response from Nic, one of our tech specialists: As mentioned in a previous comment, Canon RAW Light can only be recorded internally on a cfast card. You can record off of the video outputs, but they will be normal video feeds at 8bit 4:2:2.

[@PedroHofmann]

@@AbelCine_official thanks for answering - this might be because of the special Canon Raw lite mode I guess

[@rrfilmproduction1084]

Great review. Just bought some Quaser's from you guys today. Quick question: I am renting this to shoot with soon...If I am recording on an Atomos Shogun Inferno, in ProRes, can I still record 4k? 4:2:2 externally on the Shogun? I thought I could ..but someone who owns the camera is telling me you can only record 4k on a cFast card!!! Or am I only getting MP4 even on an external monitor? That make no sense to me. I own a EVa1...so I am new to Canon C 200. LOve the autofucus btw :)

[@theC47]

The camera has an HDMI 2.0 output that is capable of 8-bit 4:2:2. The SDI is only HD.

[@CoveringFish]

Not what this cameras designed for

[@Akvuhd]

I want to know the name of this table top tripod.

[@thec47schofield16]

Benro 75mm Hi Hat. You would pair that with the fluid head you want to use. They also make a 100mm bowl version. -Jem

[@Akvuhd]

@@thec47schofield16 thanks bro

[@filmselparaiso6263]

A commercial for canon. Yes

[@Cameronpov]

What did you mean when you said it is always rec.709 that is recorded to the SD cards? You can change the gamma to CLOG and CLOG 3

[@theC47]

CamZambie I am referring to the color gamut not the gamma. You can choose Canon Log and Canon Log 3 for the gamma.

[@Cameronpov]

theC47 after a little more research I realized I misunderstood the difference between gamut and gamma. Thanks!

[@theC47]

CamZambie Yeah. It’s also even more confusing as Rec.709 can refer to both gamma and gamut. Not the case with Rec/BT 2020.

[@baijunatarajan4752]

HI James, Hence the c200 has a minimum iso range of 160, may I know what is the reason for capturing the video on 800 iso in this bright sunlight situation. Please advise when you get time... Is this a native iso on all light situations? WHat if I capture the same bright light condition with a 160 iso range

[@theC47]

When shooting Log it is generally a good practice to rate the camera at 800 ISO and above if you want to retain the highest number of stops above middle gray. If you shoot at 160 you will have more stops below middle gray but that's not ideal when trying to protect highlights. -Jem

[@baijunatarajan4752]

Thank You so much. Jem. Sorry that I called you James. Appreciate your quick response. Thanks

[@jamesmathews243]

If you have to use warp stabilizer why even bother with the 4th Axis...

[@griffithsafari]

Is it possible to move the display information to edges of the display like the c300?

[@theC47]

Unfortunately, no.

[@Saif-dy3if]

so ya need to buy the lens separately?

[@filmselparaiso6263]

Ya

[@stevek7319]

Thank you for this! I tried to download the files and keep getting an error when trying to unzip it "Central Directory Not Found." Tried re-downloading, same problem. Is this something you can fix? Thanks.

Hi Steve, I know the Abel team is tracking with comments so hopefully they will address this if it needs to be fixed.

[@ogkashin3257]

Okay at 16:50 did you think nobody would notice your not using a C200 but a blackmagic? Is this a blackmagic review or a Canon review im confused?

[@norbertholzmann8653]

They test multiple cameras at once ;) Here is the Blackmagic test: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZyTpoSwbq2Gjbc

[@filmselparaiso6263]

This is the best camera I've ever shoot with everything is awsome......except tracking and face detection they both suck

[@jujufactory]

FS7 is the best camera I ever used.

[@YasinHasan]

my $50 action cam has 4k recording

[@orlando9666]

Yeah bet it looks like shit also

[@thekeenpixel5912]

Hey man, great video! I realize I'm a bit off topic here but since you have the C200 as well I'd be super curious if you experience the same strange possible sensor alignment issue I've noticed. You might have a look at my video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p16bioyDp7WnnJY&frags=pl%2Cwn In the end at minute 13:50 I briefly explain the problem. Would be great to know if this is only my specific problem or if the C200 has a different alignment than other cameras. Compliments for your work again! Best, Dirk

[@Excalibrr1]

I am indie filmmaker,my dream want to make short (or longer;-))film in future to festivals or even to some TVs ,so no events,wedddings,I am not youtuber etc .And I am not decided C200 vs FS7(or something another?!,And sorry have no hollywood budget:-(), C200 :has AF, raw, but only MP4,not on Netflix list f.e.. FS7 has better codecs,a lot better "broadcast"codecs:-)- is on Netflix list of cameras f.e.!!!, but not raw,and I don like base Iso 2000 because of noise, my A7RII and even little A6300 have base ISO 800 in slog it means no noise!!!:-(,(btw.both have beautiful look for me in Clog2, but shame poor codecs:-(,shame of you Sony,also for A7RIV I was waiting with the same 8bit codecs btw., in 2019?!!!), and AF everybody here says is on FS7 worse than C200?! So what is your opionion. your recommandation for me? Please, a lot of thanks!
