What lenses are you guys using?

[@forewordco]

Sigma art lenses for the most part!

[@gilgoncalves2304]

Thank you, that was one of my questions!

[@1357media]

Hilarious. I just found this out a few days ago. I don’t have much use for it, but this video made me laugh. I subbed… we both need more subscribers!

[@joonasjoo9118]

Any chance to get autofocus for slowmotion? It is very hard to use manually when you shoot action. Any tips?

I have been thinking about it buy this camera. I start to record documentary run and gun style in a small crew just me and my wife, I have a Gh6 with Átomos Ninja V, its a amazing camera, but, for record long interviews it's very annoying having to change the batteries over and over. I have two choices in a small budget Panasonic Eva 1 (cause I already have a GH6 I'll go using its to do the b roll scenes sometimes) And the other options is buy a Canon C200, I already have Sigma EF and Canon EF lenses beyond others vintage lens adapted to EF mount. My questions, do you have problmes to edit mp4 files using Premiere or Davinci Resolve ? To do color grading this 4k UHD it's enough in your opinion? Thank you so much for you content

[@forewordco]

Hey! Good questions! To start - we don't have much experience with the Pana EVA - so keep that in mind as it might be your best bet. As far as the C200: the battery life is great and is truly a dream for run-and-gun style shooting. The major limiting factor is indeed the codecs available for recording. The RAW quality is wonderful, but as you said you'll likely be capturing a lot in the MP4 format. We haven't had trouble editing that file type, and have never been concerned as we have a proxy workflow setup if things got too sluggish. I think the most limiting factor is in grading. The MP4 file is an 8 Bit image, and while it's some of the highest 8 Bit footage out there, you do need to be careful about how far you can push it in a grade. This means getting things in-camera right and depending less on post to save you, which is a good idea with any camera you own ( : All that said - we've shot a lot of content we're proud of in 8 Bit MP4, and you can capture a lot of wonderful content as well, it just might be limiting for you in some scenarios. Good luck with your decision!

[@forewordco]

I also just did a quick scan of the EVA-1 and seems like a great cam! More flexible codecs but no internal RAW - might be better for what you need out of it!

[@sdm2]

Wow ! Been using this camera for two years, never knew! Thanks!

[@forewordco]

Love it!

[@photographyRI]

I thought this was default on with the grip (assigned to (1) or something). It's possible I did it on my own on day 1 but... yeah. Well, I appreciate you making C200 content - keep it up

[@forewordco]

[@joemanford]
