Six Weeks with the Canon C400

[@TradeshowThomas]

C400 checks all of the boxes. great video

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@TradeshowThomas I think so as well. And thank ya!

[@scottievee330]

I feel the same. C400 kills it. Dropping a slomo vid soon. It's so easy to like this camera.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@scottievee330 nice. I’ll be sure to check it out when you do!

[@markroberttaylor]

@@scottievee330 would love to see the C400 slow capabilities.

[@Profshulman]

Thank you for continuing to put out great content. It’s great to see what case, memory card, etc is working for you. Still dying to get off the pre-order list and into the owners club. Glad to see the wait will be worth it.

[@LukeSchaeferFilms]

Stuart at Aperture Impact in Tennessee could have one in your hands in a matter of days! Get off that waitlist man!!

[@Profshulman]

@LukeSchaeferFilms Thanks for suggestion. Have you worked with them before? How do they have stock when everyone’s got long lists?

[@videographerstuff539]

I feel you on pretty much all these points, great video and well said. Thanks and keep it up!

[@MarkComberiate]

I appreciate the further insights after your initial reaction videos. Looking forward to getting one next month.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@MarkComberiate I think you’ll be happy with it!

[@ethanwisotzkey]

I’m excited to pick one up soon… it looks like a beast with a ton of good ease of use features built right in. And I have a good bit of experience with the c200 and r5c so it’s gonna be fun!

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@ethanwisotzkey yeah! You’ll notice a big advantage over the R5C. Congrats on the upgrade.

[@carlosq00]

I have been shooting on RED primarily for the last 10ish years with Canon as my second unit or alternative and am seriously considering adding a C400 to replace my three R5C camera kit. Your perspective and content is telling me I'm not wrong with thoughts leaning this way.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@carlosq00 oh right on man. Yeah I know a red shooter that just sold his two reds for canon and he’s loving it so far.

[@KevinVelghe-sq5wu]

As someone who pre-ordered it in Europe on the 6th of June it boggles my mind you guys have it already for 6 weeks... Over here no one really knows when the C400 will hit the stores... I emailed a bunch of stores about this and they all have no clue, even Canon responded that my best bet is to check my store where I pre-ordered it. It was promised for September, but this is going nowhere... I feel they let the professional user down. They were very proud to show it on IBC and throw it at a bunch of KZbinrs. Now they forgot the actual people using this gear for professional work. I hope someone of Canon reads this. Thanks for the C400 videos Alexander.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

That’s really frustrating. I’m sorry to hear that. I was reading updates on that that promised a new deadline of a December delivery date. But who knows if that’ll be true.

[@KevinVelghe-sq5wu]

@@AlexanderJawfox It's just ridiculous... What a joke... Thanks for putting out these videos. At least I can watch someone enjoying his C400

[@mahutaproductions8498]

Another frustrated pro here that is just waiting... Initially it was supposed to be September! I have the feeling it's worse in Europe.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@mahutaproductions8498hopefully soon it gets resolved the supply issue.

[@KevinVelghe-sq5wu]

@@mahutaproductions8498 Meanwhile the shops are making the C400 available for renting... I'm so done with this.

[@Dolencd]

Can you please make a test how the wireless video over wi-fi works ? If you'd ever have the C80 I'd love to see the difference between the two. Thanks.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@Dolencd Sure, I can try and do that. I haven’t done that before.

[@Dolencd]

@ Oohh thanks a lot man!

[@chakk0]

Great video! Keep up uploading🙌

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@chakk0 thank you 🎥

[@rawfootagesupply]

Two funky things with my C400 that are probably nothing burgers but since I am new to the Canon cinema line I'm a bit confused. 1) The rosette on the camera body that the side handle connects to is loose. It has 3 screws that secure it to the camera body and I can see that two are loose when I toggle it. Is that normal? I can tighten them with a hex key but damn, for an $8k cam that caught me by surprise. 2) The second thing is probably just my ignorance. I installed the top handle, and now it seems tricky to remove after loosening the hand screws. The bottom back section of the top handle that inserts into the hot shoe is very snug. Like it doesn't want to come out of the hotshoe. I know the hot shoe is a sensitive part so I don't want to force it. The camera is a beast. I've already gotten amazing footage with it. But there is definitely a learning curve.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@rawfootagesupply that’s interesting it came loose. I have had to tighten the side handle once already in the two months or so that I’ve owned it. As for the top handle no issues on my end. I haven’t rigged it out much yet from its standard configuration.

[@rawfootagesupply]

@@AlexanderJawfox Interesting that you’ve had to tighten your side handle as well. Did you use SAE or metric hex key? I ended up getting the top handle off without issue, it was just extra snug. So maybe that isn’t so bad.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@ I used a SAE

[@theodorereid4406]

Love your review! Keep it up!

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@theodorereid4406 thank you! I appreciate it 🎥

[@rhodesy937]

Thank you for this update. You’ve confirmed that I’ll be trading in my beloved EVA1 for the C400 over the C80 to pair with the R5c. Cheers, mate!

[@imagesbyrina]

Nice overview dude! And love the positive outlook! I love my C400. Might even get another instead of a C80 and keep a bare bones smaller setup. We’ll see! 😂🫠 Great spot at the end too ! 👌

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@imagesbyrina thank you! And ohh that would be nice. 2 c400’s.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@imagesbyrinaand I’ve thought about that too. One rigged up and another for more nimble shots.

[@markroberttaylor]

I love your real world experience with the C400 these past few months. Honestly, the image looks amazing and is some of the nicest footage I’ve seen amongst KZbin videos featuring the camera. I plan on getting the C400 soon, and the dream setup would add the C80 as a B camera with the new RF 24-105 & 70-200 lenses. I’m curious, what lenses are you typically pairing with the C400? Are you using the new RF Cinema lenses? Or sticking with the zooms?

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@markroberttaylor thank you. Sorry I just saw you left question. I have the 24-105 2.8 on there usually. And I agree the c80 would be a great b cam.

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

Love these videos, I have yet to see someone shoot some sports with this camera. I'd love to see how it goes with 6k 60 and 4k 60. Canon should have hired you! Nice footage, I still can't get over how bad Canon's launch video was for the C400

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@hawaiifreespeechnews ah well thank you. I’ll have to try some sports out. I know my buddy filming cars was not impressed with the AF subject select. That seems like a simple update though from canon.

[@DuffTV]

Thanks Alex. I do wish there was a shor cut that allows you to go 1.5 digital zoom but then jump straight back to 1:1.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@DuffTV i believe there is one

[@louie8488]

those frames on "better half" look great!

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@louie8488 thank you. I had a crew for that one. Vs no lights and crew for “kill mission”

[@GabrielScindian]

Great vid bro.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@GabrielScindian I appreciate it. Thank you

[@ShotByCurt]

Definitely thinking about the c400 over the c80. I shoot c70 and R5 now. Great video

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@ShotByCurt yeah I recommend it! And thank you

[@st.laverenz]

Thank you for sharing your experience with the C400! Is it true that the C400 cannot record 120fps with audio in S&F WAV mode? Only up to 60fps?

[@Makta972]

Yet to see a jaw dropping footage from that camera... The C70 feels way more special than the c400

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@Makta972 the c70 is special for sure. I have got a lot of clients who loved and complimented the footage from the c400 too.

[@waynecake5867]

Agree. DGO sensor from C70 and C300, and GH7 looks fantastic in the highlight. I wonder if the clients complimented because you showed up with a bigger camera?

[@brmoogma]

Love my C400

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@brmoogma nice! is your workflow all raw file formats or are you using xfavc?

[@brmoogma]

@@AlexanderJawfox these shots are Xfavc 10bit422

[@harlemwoodstudios]

I definitely want to move from my 8 LUMIX cameras to the Canon C400 and C80 cameras.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@harlemwoodstudios I’m not too familiar with the lumix but I don’t think you’d be disappointed moving over to canon.

[@felipeandjess]

What are good BCD camers with the C400? R6mark iis?

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@felipeandjess I think the c70/80 would be ideal. If you only had a mirrorless camera tho I’d say the R5 would be a good option.

[@urielsantistebanfilms]

Shooting a 10 hour wedding fully RAW is crazy 😅wow! That’s a whole storage budget right there.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@urielsantistebanfilms the wedding films I usually deliver are 3-5 minutes and a 30 second social media reel. It’s nothing crazy storage wise shooting C raw LT. I only have 2 512GB cf express.

[@urielsantistebanfilms]

@ I wish here in Peru we could do that! 😀 We shoot 10-12 hour weddings with full catholic ceremonies, vows and speeches. And we deliver 50-70 min documentaries that are shot with 2-3 filmmakers. Of course is a whole different workflow and product. Thanks for the content! I’ve been watching your videos for a while now, I’ll subscribe for sure. PS: Oh and I got the C400 as well. Amazing machine!

[@lucariccidj]

nice , thank you. How do you like the screen in bright days light? for wedding shooting

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@lucariccidjthanks, it’s not an issue with the brightness turned all the way up. I like it.

[@lucariccidj]

@@AlexanderJawfox thank you perfect 👍

[@ScandinavianCoward]

People are already starting to worry about the readout speed on the Fujifilm GFX Eterna sensor.

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@ScandinavianCoward oh yeah? I need to read up on that? I was hoping that large format sensor wasn’t too good to be true.

[@ScandinavianCoward]

@@AlexanderJawfox OK, CineD has covered it as well. "Rolling shutter will basically be the same [as the stills camera]." kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnfRi6WBottohMk

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

why is your face over exposed?

[@AlexanderJawfox]

@@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision I’m flattered ppl are looking at my face? 😅 the false color index was good in cam and the waveforms in post. I dunno man looks good to me.

[@kenandcamera]

Looks fine to me. Your face is lit for the focus on you. Good to go.
