Canon C200 Review | After 1 Year of Owning

[@TylerEdwards]

Get some 🍿 😊 What are your thoughts on the C200? Let me know down below!

[@ekphotography]

Hey Tyler, just realized we have a friend in Common, Chris down here in Chile!!! Been following you for a long time now and he just told me you guys are friends. Thanks for all the great videos!!!💪🏻💪🏻

[@TylerEdwards]

Haha that’s awesome! Such a small world! I appreciate your support! 👊🏼🙏🏼🤙🏼

[@DekiaryCarter]

I want this camera for sure!! This will be my next move. I'll get this one or at least the C300. It will be a nice step up in imagine quality and usability for corporate projects compared to my Sony A6300.

[@alessandrovalentino3406]

Seems like an awesome camera. I'm looking to learn how to shoot with the Canon Cinema cameras to expand my client work. I'll probably end up picking up the BMPCC6K but it will be good for me to learn as many camera systems as possible.

[@curtisjudd]

Thanks for this Tyler. Thoughtful, practical review!

[@TylerEdwards]

Thanks Curtis! I appreciate you dropping by!

[@caseyonlocation8257]

Your Franken-rig comment made me laugh...I've seen a few KZbin videos that turned the C200 into something no longer handhold-able by any stretch. If I were to get the C200ii, I would probably almost never use the raw feature so I would count on the 8 bit codec to look great straight out of the camera. Thumbs up!!

[@justin_botha]

Loved the video, amazing as always! the C200 is my dreeaammm!! ive never used a cine camera before but i spoke to the guys over at the Canon live online chat and they helped me understand all the differnces!

[@EdTrainerTv]

Hi! Thank you very much for your videos. Thinking of buying a Canon C200, your video is clarifying. Regards

[@TylerEdwards]

Glad it was helpful!

[@carlosq00]

To me the most exciting announcement of 2019 would be the new 1DX with internal RAW...can't wait!

[@TylerEdwards]

I was thinking that or the C500ii! What a time to be alive!

[@DENISENKOTiME]

1dx did not have dd like c200

[@saulmirandaaliaga]

Love the videos bro. Keep up the good work!

[@TylerEdwards]

Thanks so much!

[@carlosq00]

Awesome - thanks for posting, I've been waiting on this! Did your hair get longer and beard get shorter?

[@TylerEdwards]

Other way around! Longer(ish) beard and shorter hair 😂

[@shanedocs]

hey, can you confirm if the shots at 11:16 are NOT shot with Canon raw light, please! - they look a lot better than the shots at 7:24 thanks!

[@TylerEdwards]

All the shots you mentioned are 8-bit

[@thewrongopinion7811]

Thanks, considering investing in the C200, this has helped me.

[@TylerEdwards]

Thanks Mark! Glad it was helpful!

[@jcokes8637]

I love mine. It just works.

[@TylerEdwards]

Same!

[@ChrisParayno]

All in one, no stupid franken rigs

[@jamesmathews243]

Well... since the new C300 mark iii has Raw Lite and 422... I guess we know Canon will never allow 4K 422 via SDI on the C200.

[@TylerEdwards]

Yup. C200 is and will always be an 8-bit camera

[@TexpatOTG]

Don't own one, but have rented one. It's a very capable camera and my client liked the product they got. I don't think I'll buy a cinema camera, renting is more advantageous for me because I only do a couple of projects a year. My hobby projects don't justify owning one. Good show from experienced shooter. I like it.

[@cubingonmymind]

Been waiting for this review for a while lol

[@TylerEdwards]

😂 ya I’ve been meaning to make it for quite some time now haha

[@colinthomas2525]

Can anyone answer how the extended nd (8/10stops) looks? Is it useful or is there bad colour shift etc. Thoughts. It’s one of the main reasons I would choose this camera over the c100mii

[@juggernot1556]

I have a bmpcc4k fully rigged out was looking to upgrade to either the bmpcc6k pro or the c200 what do you think?

[@TylerEdwards]

That all entirely depends on the type of work you’re doing so I can’t answer that unfortunately

[@68Snaps]

Great content, very useful. Right now I'm considering to purchase it. But I think it's getting a tough competitor down the line: the Canon R5. I'm *not* interested in 8K, so let's get that out of the way. Would you consider "exchanging" your C200 for an R5? (by magic pixie dust). Do you think the R5 could be a good alternative, or do you think it's just a very elaborate toy? Could *you* use one to replace your C200 in your line of work? (And again, thanks for your great content :-) )

[@TylerEdwards]

I would never consider trading a cinema camera for a mirrorless camera altogether. I think they both have their uses, but I’d much prefer a cinema camera for most stuff.

[@EduardRekker]

Buying an R5 would be a budget-argument I guess. I would never trade a cinemacamera for a systemcamera.

[@mohamedsekabira9922]

Is it good for me as a beginner??

[@TruthReviews]

Great review, subbed. Do you think this will work well as a B Cam to a C70? Also, im a tad confused, can you record 4K to internal SD? Or only C Fast?

[@karelsimunek5046]

Great review and amazing camera!

[@raulivicic1298]

Subscribed! I like you style a lot! Keep up the good work!

[@ondrejjanoska660]

Maybe if you still own it....how it stands to two year? Peace

[@nealabbott3660]

Thanks for such an in-depth review. I’m really considering this camera for my contracted work and on-the-side filmmaking. One question-what SD cards are best to use? Is a V30 UHS I enough to record in 4K or do you use UHS II cards? Just trying to figure out how much extra I need to budget on top of the camera cost 😬 Thanks for your awesome content, brother! 😁

[@TylerEdwards]

Appreciate it! I use the sandisk extreme pro sd cards and they have never given me any issues. They are also quite affordable as far as media goes!

[@SjoerdWess]

Tyler, Would you suggest the Ursa mini g2 over the c200 or not?

[@TylerEdwards]

Both are great cameras. Just depends on what features are important to you

[@SjoerdWess]

Tyler Edwards i feel like the ursa is so bulky compared to the c200... also, the batteries needed on the ursa are way bigger, needing more big assets to load etc. But, the ursa is braw, more options... c200 has mp4 8bit. And hugeeeee raw files. Aaahhhggg

[@TylerEdwards]

Haha ya it’s a heavy camera. Like I said, just boils down to features that are important to you. Definitely trade offs in both!

[@HoodNews247]

best review I've seen.

[@Shanjit_RajKumar]

You deserve more Subscribers than this, Nice Video 👍👍👍

[@TylerEdwards]

Thanks!

[@farbecho]

Does anybody know if there is a way to program a button to quickly switch between two different presets like RAW 24p and the 8-Bit Codec 120p? Or do you have to change all the settings individually each time? currently looking into buying one of these and not sure about this ;)

[@SilasF]

Great video Tyler what do you use for riging your mics for an interview? Like what boompole and stand? :) Thanks!

[@TylerEdwards]

Thank Silas. I typically use a c-stand with a boom pole holder held in by the grip head. For the boom pole, I just use a neewer boom pole I got off amazon and the shock mount that came with the NTG5

[@flashmovietrivia8736]

I am trying to work out why my C200 looks a little soft compared to my GH5? I haven't shot RAW yet so maybe the extra sharpness is in the codec?

[@MrAyybee2cold]

Flash Movie Trivia it’s not supposed to be too sharp pre grade for flexibility in post while still holding up.

[@flashmovietrivia8736]

@@MrAyybee2cold thanks for letting me know this. I guess i just have to get my head around it when watching the footage straight out of camera.

[@dzejlanibrahimovic126]

can u record raw on c200 external, like external monitor recorder?

[@TylerEdwards]

No. Only internal raw

[@dzejlanibrahimovic126]

@@TylerEdwards aha, okay, thank you for fast response!! and one more question, would you recommend sony a7s3 over canon C200?

[@OptimusFilmsYoutube]

Good Video! I nearly use the same Gear (c200, Sigma 18-35, Godox and so on) since 1 year and i love this amazing camera ❤️ Please tell me, what are your settings for mp4 recording(internal +sharpness? -gamma ?)

[@TylerEdwards]

Such a great camera! Nothing special with settings. No added sharpening and I just use the Canon Log 3 preset for gamma curve. 👍🏼

[@OptimusFilmsYoutube]

Tyler Edwards any adjustments with RAW in Camera? I just bought your Lut Pack, works perfectly ! Good Job!

[@TylerEdwards]

Optimus Films no changes! I have the activate other settings set to “off,” so no other custom settings. Thanks so much for buying the LUTs! I’m extremely happy with them and think you will be too 👍🏼👍🏼

[@demetrizuev258]

How's sigma glass performing with auto focus? I've heard some things about it being slower than on native Canon glass

[@TylerEdwards]

It performs great. No focus issues with dual pixel autofocus. The focus motor is a little louder than my L series lenses, but I don’t notice any drastic difference in performance.

[@nickfranik3141]

How is the dynamic range compared to the Bmpcc 6k or 4k. So far I have heard it has a little advantage in that regard, especially in the highlights. What is your NLE by the way?

[@TylerEdwards]

When shooting raw, I’d say it’s splitting hairs between C200 and 6K maybe a slight edge to the C200. I would agree with you that’s there no real advantage over the 6K in that regard. The real advantages are mostly ergonomic (NDs, dual XLR, built in evf) and obviously better battery life 😂 Both are fantastic camera systems that can compliment each other very nice on set 👍🏼👍🏼

[@nickfranik3141]

@@TylerEdwards Thank you . Last question : what CF cards are you using for the c200? Any particular recommendation?

[@TylerEdwards]

I have a few CFast cards. I’ve been very happy with the Silicon Power X310 (I think that’s the model) 512GB card ($299), lexar, and egodisk. I forgot to answer your other question; I’ve been mostly editing in Resolve, but this video I edited in FCPX so I could use the motionvfx callout plugin.

[@Knochenfuarz]

Hey Tyler, I found your channel hours ago and enjoyed a few videos bought your lut-Pack (did not find the discountsection on the checkout ... anyway 15$ is a steal). What IRE values you are expose for in Clog 3 while run and gun (max/skin/blacks)? Love your content! (I own two C200s :D)

[@TylerEdwards]

Hey thanks so much! Ya that code is only for the Buttery LUTs stuff. I typically use false color on my SmallHD monitor for exposure with the goal of exposing skin tones at around 35-40 IRE (but that totally depends on the type of skin as well). For highlights, I do my best to keep it at or below 95, but if I cannot control the light, I usually sacrifice highlights for proper skin tones exposure (if the shot calls for it). Shadows/blacks: try to just keep just above crushing. I found monitoring with the Clog3 Crush LUT is very helpful. Hope this helps!

[@Knochenfuarz]

@@TylerEdwards Thanks! Helps a lot!

Would you recommend a Canon C200 in 2020?

[@TylerEdwards]

Yes, very much so.

[@KestonMoore]

This or the bmpcc4k??

[@TylerEdwards]

Depends on the job

[@CalebSapp]

Thanks for the video, Tyler. This is my next camera so I’ve been cramming the research on it. You seem to shoot similar run and gun/docu style video as I do. Do you primarily shoot handheld? If so, how stable is the footage?

[@TylerEdwards]

On the C200, it is either handheld on locked on a tripod. I think the footage looks pretty stable (but certainly handheld feeling), but I think that is subjective. It’s a heavy enough camera where those micro jitters aren’t present. Hope this helps!

[@CalebSapp]

Tyler Edwards thanks bro. Appreciate it!

[@twosheafilms]

Thank you sir for making this! I would love to get the C200 if my professional work takes me in this direction one day. Glad it fits your workflow so well. I think the most exciting thing of 2019 was the Panasonic S1H.

[@TylerEdwards]

It has been a great camera for my workflow! S1H looks like a beast of a camera!

[@paulquay4745]

Closing out 2019 by picking up a teleprompter and 300D, but in 2020 the goal is to stop giving Magnanimous all my money and finally purchase a C200!

[@TylerEdwards]

Sounds awesome Paul! Wishing the best for your 2020!

[@paulquay4745]

Ended up picking up a legit monitor based system cause it was the best investment. So hit me up if you need an owner/operator or wanna get your hands on it for a review!

[@ChrisParayno]

Yes, C100/200 is amazing for weddings....until it rains:-(

[@TylerEdwards]

Very true!

[@3DEditor]

Do you have sample videos filming with a fairly vast zoom spectrum? I'm considering purchasing the C200 and working mostly with a lens ranging anywhere from 18mm to 400mm zoom focal length. I watched many reviews on Tamron's 18mm-400mm lens on a variety of different videos, but none of the reviewers were using any kind of cinema camera, let alone the C200. I'm also considering one of Canon's 28mm to 150mm zoom focal length. Any other recommendations on a quality zoom lens would be appreciated.

[@Dolencd]

If you are still here, first of all bless your soul. Hahahahaha. Funny mate. :) Good review. Let me know if you are selling c200.
