Just bought a C100 Mk. II in 2020. I found that the majority of my workflow is in 1080p as it is and I decided not having 4K isn't a problem for me. I will take the fantastic color reproduction, sharp image, and other features (dual-pixel auto focus, XLR, built-in ND) over some flashy 4K any day. Granted, (this isn't the case for everyone) this is my workflow of mostly non-fiction client and documentary-style work, but I think it is still an incredibly powerful camera in 2020. I can't wait for all of my upcoming projects with it!

I used a Sony A7S before and, even if I loved the full frame sensor and the sensitivity, it was very difficult to use it in documentary style projects. No audio, no ND filters, toy batteries that last so little... and the main board of the camera got broken twice. Even if the C100 is 8 years old, it delivers a perfect image for 1080p broadcast and it's so easy and fast to get ready to shoot with it. And it's true, it's a workhorse, you can kick it hard and it never stops working.

This is a proper entry level professional cinema camera with the quality and usability to make you money. I still use mine with an Atomos Ninja for production work so I can record in ProRes 422 or without it for work like weddings. The thing about this camera and 1080 is that the sensor is 4k and it brilliantly down reses the image to 1080 in camera. There really are few arguments for shooting 4k over this camera's 1080 if the finished product is going to be 1080 or less. Beyond resolution, the other qualities that make up a good image really shine. In fairness, I do wish I had the Mark II due to the better ergonomics and 1080p60 and I obviously wouldn't shoot a million dollar project on it. But if you are on a budget, like most of us are, you should definitely consider this camera. I will personally never go back to shooting DSLR or similar form factors as my A camera again.

If you got it used, you may want to also reset it to factory settings to make sure everything is at it's default setting (then update the firmware) to see if this solves the problem.

Hmmm. Not sure why it would be doing that, but a good rule of thumb with the C100 is the lower ISO you can do, the better. Also, make sure you have the correct shutter speed (for instance, if you are shooting at 24fps, your shutter should be 1/48) and an easy way to get the proper exposure it to use the ND filters. Not sure why the zebra would appear on obviously overexposed parts, but you also might want to make sure you have the latest firmware on the camera, since sometimes it is a software fix.

I bought a C100 for AUD 1,250 second-hand in December. I love everything about it... except the images I get. Even with a sharp lens and with external recording, I don't feel like I get as nice an image as from my Canon M50 in 4K. It's soft and when I sharpen it by 20-30 in post, it still looks mediocre to my eye. Something about the texture of the image that looks less natural and pleasing than my M50 in 4K. At the end of the day, image quality is paramount to me: clean, detailed, and sharp images. The in-camera sharpening to me looks awful whereas a little looks fine on my M50. I'm still holding out hope that the disappointments with image quality are down to user error, but I've tried lots of settings and been disappointed every single time with the results. If you have time to say, what settings do you use for your commercial shoots? (Wide DR? CLog? Any in-camera sharpening? H Detail Frequency?)

Sorry to hear about your C100. We upgraded from a DSLR years ago when we got the C100 and loved the color we got on it. Here are the settings we use on our C100, so maybe this will be able to help you get a better picture: ibb.co/PMgNGMT ibb.co/nR0ttjt ibb.co/2t7sH4S We played with a lot of settings over the years and here are some key settings: 1. Make sure to get the “film look” you are shooting at 24fps. 2. Be sure you are also shooting in CP CINEMA LOCKED. 3. Shoot at 24MBPS 4. Shoot at shutter speed of 1/48 5. We normally don’t have time to white balance, but found that the “sun” white balance gives more accurate color than the auto white balance. 6. The native ISO for the camera is 850, which you should try to make your max ISO, unless your picture is too dark. But, if you have a fast lens, you will get an even cleaner picture if you shoot at a lower ISO than 850 7. If you have any color or sharpening on, we turned that off. 8. If you have not done a black balance in a while, I would do that since it does help with the picture output. We actually tried using an M50 for a while, since we heard such great things about it, but the rolling shutter was so bad, we had to return it, since we didn’t have it on a tripod hardly ever and needed to move around with it. 😕 Hope this helps and let me know if you have any more questions!

I recently upgraded to Catalina and the Data Import Utility doesn't work anymore. Do you have a workaround?
@envycreative4 жыл бұрын
We use FCPX, so we are able to import AVCHD files directly from there. But, if we need to make ProRes files from the card, we use an app (on the Mac app store) called "Converter Pro" (apps.apple.com/us/app/converter-pro/id702464902?mt=12). It costs $7, but is definitely worth it, since you can just drag your AVCHD file directly from the SD card into it, choose any version of ProRes and just tell it where to save the files. Here is a short GIF we made of our workflow for it: imgur.com/a/xtadmrK. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions!

@envycreative4 жыл бұрын
Yep! To my knowledge, the C100 only accepts EF lenses (I don't think you can get it with a PL mount, but you might be able to get a PL mount by taking it to Canon). We've used Sigma EF and Tamron EF lenses with our C100 fine. It's just our C200 that has had problems with Tamron lenses.

Yep! You can take photos with the C100, but only JPEGs. You just map one of the function buttons to take a photo and it will save as a JPEG on the SD card. They are more meant for reference photos or behind the scenes photos, since they are not super high-res. Thanks and feel free to let us know if you have any other questions!

Sounds awesome! We haven't done any 4K upscaling with the C100, since most things online can still get away with doing them in 1080P (which is where most of the commercials we produce end up). But, we got a C200 a few months ago and have been loving the 4K on that. We think we might do a C100 vs C200 video soon.

Thanks for the question! And yes, we still think that the C100 is a good buy for anyone looking into getting a first Cinema Style camera. The built-in ND filters and onboard XLR ports alone give is a great leg-up on the competition still. While it doesn't have 4K, it is a 4K sensor, just downscaled to 1080p, so you are still getting a great image. If you haven't bought a cinema camera before, we would definitely recommend getting this first to see how you like it, before investing into higher-priced cameras.

@envycreative4 жыл бұрын
Thanks for the question and I'm really glad you are enjoying the videos! If you have the equipment, we would definitely suggest at least setting up the 5Diii as a B-cam (just to film from a different angle), even if you don't end up using the footage from it. Since the C100ii gives a better overall image than the 5Diii, the C100ii should be your A-cam and on the 5Diii, the best way to match it to your C100ii (assuming you are filming in CLOG on your C100ii) is to make the 5Diii image as flat as possible. This can usually be done by changing the image settings for the video settings in the 5Diii to "neutral" and then turning off a lot of the "auto" features like auto-exposure, auto-ISO, auto-lighting-fix, etc. Hope this helps and let me know if you have any other questions!

Would this be a good camera for shooting longform yoga videos? I like the camcorders as it allows me to shoot longer duration without needing to stop after 30 min (like DSLRs) but I’d like a better quality, and a camera that isn’t complicated and easy for me to focus on my own. I don’t have an assistant. Can I attach a sennheiser cordless to this?

Yes and yes! This is a great camera for longform filming, since it does not have a record limit, other than the card size or battery life (which are both good). And yes, it also have 2 full-size XLR ports and a 3.5mm jack, so you and pretty much attach any kind of mic to it. Its also a great starter cine camera, since you can pretty much start using it out of the box with little setup (but you still need a lens). Hope this helps!
