After shooting on this Camera extensively for the last 8 months, I have mostly been shooting everything in Cinema RAW and transcoding to 1080 4444 in cLog2. You are capturing in the highest 12 bit codec... and retain all of that in a great 1080 pro res file. cLog2 has the most dynamic range (15 stops) and it's nearly impossible to tell the difference between the 1080 and 4k file. You can even upres the 1080 into a 4k file with little to no degradation.

In my experience with the C200 a cFast of 256gb will give you 34mins of RAW footage, not 20mins. From Lexar to EgoDisk, 34mins, consistently. As a full-time editor for the last 10 years I've NEVER had the need to edit RAW files, we always edit proxies files. Editing proxies will playback fast and uninterrupted always and on most computers. *Editing* directly RAW files is a commodity rather than a necessity. Which brings me to one of the things I totally don't like about the C200: it names the 2K proxy files with the same structure as a DSLR (MVI_0034) and it doesn't use the same name structure as the RAW files (A001C001_YYMMDD). Which is a mess because you have to rename the MP4 in order to relink them later on Resolve or Premiere. Another thing is when one converts the RAW to ProRes it puts each clip into a separate folder (Really Canon, really?) so one has to either import them one by one into the NLE or re-organize them into one single folder. I think this is the mayor complaint one can honestly have in a camera like the C200, which is very much likely to be fixed by Canon later on. Hopefully. Overall, the camera will fit in almost any professional production, I don't see this camera as a "Wedding/Event Camera", or as "digital content" only, this camera can be easily be used for high-end commercial shoots, feature films, and documentaries. The MP4 files are AMAZING, and for documentaries you can use them for your main interviews and the RAW files for your B-ROLL.

And doesn't higher bit rate matter less when you're not shooting fast action? like, in a talking head interview shoot, does it even look that different?

I got my C200 last week and have not been disappointed. As Canon always seem to do, the technical specs don't convey the actual quality of the image. The 4:2:0 4K is nice and it's good to have a UHD option + 10bit HD from the HDMI port. The 4K RAW is very good and if you can deal with the files sizes and post requirements, it's great. I don't find it un-manageable. As an experienced post guy who's familiar with Resolve, I'm not daunted by CRW at all, and you don't have to spend BIG money on cFast cards. You can find really good cheaper cards like the 256GB EgoPro ones on Amazon US$299. They're a good deal and they work great. Also for me the big plus is you get Canon/ARRI type colour science - not the other type and in the end image quality is everything.

I really like this camera for all the reasons you give. The only thing that I just can't stand for today's 4K cameras is that they advertise 4K but the frame rate is always crippled. For instance, this camera is marketed as a 4K camera but you can't go higher than 60p. I wouldn't complain so much if it weren't for the fact that I can't even record 4K RAW. For this reason, I'm leaning toward the Panasonic EVA1 or heck...even the Sony FS7 MKII. Another thing...the resolution suffers when you crop. The EVA1 can record 5.7K and give you that extra buffer around the edges to for cropping. Anyway, good review. Thanks!!

Great review. I totally agree with all the plusses and most of the minuses. I disagree regarding only having 8-bit / 420 being only relevant for broadcast requirements. I would much prefer 10 bit 422 internal options, like the Sony FS5 XAVC codec, as a compromise between file size and gradability. To me this camera has a huge hole in the middle of what it can capture in terms of quality. I currently use a C100 MKII and would jump to the C300 MKII over the C200 as a second camera for post-processing practicality, even taking into consideration all the great new features of the C200. Just my take.

I've put quite a bit of testing into the workflow and I was surprised the time wasn't affected when I made changes to the frame rate. With the proxy, I'm not sure why you would need to record a proxy for the 150/Mbps files. You can record redundant files for safety net purposes to the SD cards. I've found the 150/Mbps files are very NLE friendly making proxies not needed.

Solid review. I really appreciate the depth, too, those points about color space were eye-opening. While I'm going to be shooting primarily in 1080 for clients, I'm extremely interested in the 4K primarily for future short film projects. Unfortunately the compression on the C200 and C-Fast usage is a deal breaker for me. I would not buy the 256GB C-Fast because I like to be able to transfer footage on a 32GB, 64GB or 128GB card while I'm recording with another; plus the pain is lessened in the case of card failure. But, I'm a Canon guy and I use only Canon EF L series lenses. After this video, I'm thinking I should just go with the C100 II and 'earn' my way up to C700.

Canon could of simply offered a paid upgrade for the c100 mk ii, and been done. That is one reason Sony, and Red have the market investing in their cams because of their customer service. The market seems to be filled with cams that offer more bang for your buck at this price point. Don't get me wrong, Im a canon shooter, and have been for quite a while now, but this gets to me sometimes how they don't invest in loyal people that already have purchased 6000-14000 cams from them. For this price I would be trying to future proof my gear and look at cams that at least have 10-bit/12 bit capabilities even if I dont use them often. I'll wait for the c500 mkii or upgrade to a Red in the future i guess. I like Canon color science, but we spend so much time investing in gear and not knowledge at times. Im very guilty of that, and this was a wake call for me. Thanks Caleb for investing your time and money to do this review.

Thanks for this review. Before I watched this, I had assumed the C200 could simply out a RAW 4:2:2 10bit signal to an external recorder, making the 5min/64Gb a mute point. This feels like it is intentional from Canon. Maybe when the C300 mark iii comes out, with faster processors, Canon will rectify this obvious flaw. As far as only one operational SDI/HDMI at a time, can't you just run one to a recorder, then output another one from the recorder to video village? Or can you wifi a real-time signal to an iPad?

I love the canon color, and the C 300 is perfect for 1080P shooting and low light, but the fact that I can't shoot 60P, that was limiting me. 5D Mark IV shoots nice 60P but it doesn't hold up as well in low light as the C300. I am hoping the Panasonic will shoot well in low light. I am really going to miss the autofocus of Canon, but I guess I can't have everything. Buying the Panasonic is future proofing a bit for few years, vs the C 200 is going backwards. What's your opinion between Red Vs Arri Mini? Have you used both...any difference in image, color?

Preferably in a controlled environment with fixed lighting and lenses - seen too many "tests" with variable lighting, lenses, settings and subjects. And to level the playing field, could you shoot C100mkii in 1080, then C200 in 1080 and in 4k (in both MP4 and raw) downscaled in the NLE to a 1080 timeline? If you have a vimeo to upload the footage to as well that would be amazing.

Awesome review Caleb! Quick question. You mentioned autofocus do not work when in slow motion mode. Do that still count for regular mode but filmed at 60fps? Also do the c100 mk2 color match easily with the c200? Sorry I'm fairly new with log profiles. If both camera was using the same log profiles, would the color match the same? Thanks!

you mentioned canon c200b being compatible with an external monitor..is the touch autofocus still compatible while using an external monitor either on the c200b or c200 stripped down and the screen replaced with something like an atomos ninja inferno

No, the touchscreen feature would not carry over to an external monitor like an Atomos.

8-bit and 10-bit, 4:2:0 and 4:2:2 - they're just numbers? Really?
@CalebWojcik6 жыл бұрын
For most people I'd argue that they are just numbers. If you know what they actually mean and can tell the difference then you should worry about it, but in general if you're just publishing to KZbin or Vimeo they are compressing your files so much the viewer won't be able to tell the difference.

I wouldn't say that 10bit is just necessary for broadcasting. I shoot with my sony a6500 in a log profile. In color correction, the image falls apart pretty quickly, especially noticeable in the skin tones. In my opinion 10bit color is more important than resolution and I don't know, why canon didn't implement a 1080p 10bit codec, like in the sony FS5 mii. Otherwise very great video, got a new sub :)

If you're doing a chroma key, then 4:2:2 is preferred, 4:2:0 gives you bad edges at the same res.

Great review. Im interested in the workflow w/ your editor that you mentioned. With the c100 mkii, you record in which formats and which format do you send to the editor and why? I film with a c100 and just send the editor the files via a hard drive. Just checking to see if there is a better way of doing it. Thanks
@CalebWojcik6 жыл бұрын
+Abu Bah On large shoots I send hard drives. For sure. But on smaller shoots or fast turnaround projects I will shoot proxy files to the 2nd SD or make them in Premiere. Then just share those with him via Dropbox. Does that help?

From Canon's site: "In addition to the internal recording, the EOS C200 can output either 1920x1080 YCC 4:2:2 10-bit over the HD-SDI Terminal, or 3840x2160 4:2:0 8-bit over the HDMI."

I've never been a fan of Canon's line due to restrictive codecs and frame rates, but this seems the goods. Still can't justify the price tag over an Ursa Mini 4.6k Pro though
@CalebWojcik6 жыл бұрын
Carousel Visual Media If you are only going to get one camera that would be a hard choice for me, but since I have other Canon cameras I try to stay within the same color science. Haven’t used the Ursa Mini Pro outside of NAB at all though, so I can’t speak to it.
@carouselvisualmedia6 жыл бұрын
I've always loved Canon colour but the lack of codecs, frame rates and relative high price has always been a deal breaker for me. I am pretty heavily invested in the Sony Alpha line but looking to make the leap from hybrid. This review has definitely made me reconsider Canon though.

Carousel Visual Media from an UM4.6k you absolutely can't go wrong for the price. I love mine, minus the AF and viewfinder the UM wins in my book. I got mine used for $4300...just a steal, I didn't even need the UMpro...I love the SDI ports, it's got 2, it's just fantastic. C200, yeah I'm good on limited codecs and that soft ass 120fps HD, meh.

Thanks for the review. Do you think the C100 Mark II is good as b-cam for the c300 Mark II? I am coming from the Sony environment and haven´t workes with the Cine EOS line from Canon.. The Docu has to be shot with the C300 Mark IIin 4k as A-Cam, and I wanted to buy a B-Cam. What´s your take?
@CalebWojcik6 жыл бұрын
+Mata Hari Yes, the c100 II would be a solid b-cam, but you’re only going to get 1080p and less autofocus features. I’d go with a c200 as a B.

Thanks. I have seen your encouraging review of the C100 Mark II. Have you ever tried to scale up the 1080p footage of the C100 to 4k? C200 great,- but the pricetag is harsh for me. I gotta meditate about it.

Yeah, it holds up well upscaled to 4K since the sensor is 4K, it just doesn't record in that.

The things you don't like and the amount of them I agree with. For all those reasons I'm avoiding the C200 as a candidate for a new camera. I know there has been firmware updates but Canon is stingy and stuborn about allow customers the full potential of their camera line. Canon seems to intentionally withhold features on their new camera line. The 5d M IV, the Canon R, the C200. They had hit the mark withe DSLR Cinema capabilities on the 5D M III that they somehow decided to sabotage that success since that legendary Camera experience.

Caleb Wojcik I've been working making videos and Photography for an event company for nearly 3 years. I use a 2 Nikon D750 cameras - I haven't been asked for 4k yet that's my dilemma I would prefare a C200 MK2 if I could get one used . You just get that feeling if I stay HD it'll come back to bite me.

GH5 lacks built-in ND and decent audio connections and has a terrible AF. That disqualifies it as a "practical useable" film camera for my sort of work. Have owned (among others) a C100mII, now replaced it with a C200. I love that one!
