The C400 is a great camera, but not for my use case, as I only shoot for me, so my camera should be light and it doesn't have to look professional or to have a lot of connections. My wishlist is an R5C MKII with internal ND, with IBIS, and at least 15 steps DR, working at 8K-RAW-LT 60fps with the internal battery, having animal AF. All this for under 5'000.-$. Nice to have would be 8K-RAW-LT at 120fps, or cropped 6K-RAW-LT at 120fps and 4K at 240fps. I would also be happy with 6K-RAW-LT instead of 8K, but as the R5 MKII is 8K this won't change for an R5C MKII. In your case, I would also go with the C400. Thank you for sharing your reasons about why you will get the C400👍, I guess there will also come a 6K C70 MKII but in 35mm, maybe for 1000-2000.-$ cheaper than the C400, but the FF would also be my choice over 35mm.

Incredible work!

I think the speedbooster might be more of a useful party trick than the triple base ISO. What do you think?

I own two C70 an R5C and the R3 for photos... I have a big love for that stop or two more in the hightlights from the DGO sensor.. damn I would have loved to see a Full frame DGO sensor done in the future...

I am so annoyed that this camera has mini xlr ports and is a huge red flag for me. Also the fact that it has one sd card and one cf express slot, should be a dual combo port. Basically eliminates the option for dual slot recording.

Thanks for the video! I'm with the doubts camp, but of course all this stuff is very individual-preference based. Doubts because of maybe three things. Firstly, I like smaller cameras. Means smaller support gear, less strain on your back, easier time pretending to meet cabin luggage weight restrictions. Even the C70 I find too large, and for me it's awkward for handheld -- I'd rather hold an r5c. But horses for courses. I can see you like to rig your camera out some, whereas I'm trying my best to strip it down. Secondly, image quality up from a C70 doesn't look like that big a jump to me, despite the numbers on paper. No image I've yet seen out of the C400 has made me go, "Wow!", has got me excited. It's more like, "Yeah, cool. It looks fine and does the job." So, it doesn't emotionally seal the deal. I get more wow factor looking at clips from a 2010 HD-only Arri Alexa, or 2009 Red Epic, though those are for a completely different market and production environment, etc, etc. Thirdly, I get the feeling that a workhorse camera that is slightly more my style is around the corner. I don't think the C400 is a C70MkII. I think Canon will bring out the same sensor in 6-9 months, except in a smaller body with fewer inputs -- and THAT will be the C70MkII, or the C90, or whatever -- and it'll also be significantly cheaper. Canon did the same thing with bringing the C100 out after the C300, and the C70 after the C300MkIII. Anyone who doesn't jump on the more expensive camera's bandwagon or who was on the fence then says, "OMG! Half the price but same sensor?!!", and gets in on round 2.

Would you recommend this for recording boxing matches or combat sports in general??

Great job

i just bought the r6 mark ii. I also have the r5c and c70 . which of these would you sell for the c400? The c400 is so enticing lol

Very nice, well done.

Interesting stuff man. I am invested in the SL2S system because of glass, but looking for more.

Love it

This was well done, great job

Excellent review! I also shoot with the C70. I’m in the DC area. Let’s collab 🙌🏾

This is fucking dope! I can't wait to see what else y'all make next!

see the short film that I used this lens for...czcams.com/video/Wom-TryG7_I/video.htmlfeature=shared

This is dope!!

The Canon C400 aka C70 mk ii.......🤣🤣🤣🤣 Interesting title but very true

Nice work

Great job Dude!

Did the auto focus get improved?

Great Video!:D Love my C70. 6K FF made me switch to the C400!!

I'm looking at buying at least 1 of these maybe the 50mm or 24mm, go with my Canon R5C. The autofocus is actually too good at times when paired with native RF Canon stills lens like the 50mm. The response is fast, able to lock on quickly in sports mode. But as you said, when you are on a bigger shoot with crew, there's no need to use it when the 1st AC is on set. And the Cine version is manual focus. You do know that these are rehoused lenses with the same glass from the EF mount version right? Same with the Sumire Primes PL mount. The only difference are the electronic contact 12 pins which RF handles better for communication, distortion correction. I hope the lens serves you well which I'm sure it will, and thanks for the video.

Thanks for the Review. I have a canon R3, and im debating whether to go to a more video capable canon when I jump into Film. You are right about customers, that love seeing huge and expensive looking equipment, so I usually ask my customers do they prefer the look of my iPhone cinematic mode which looks really good when creating content for people. Also, I really want to know, what makes cameras, look more like cinema. I owned a Nikon d7000 which was like valued at $350 when I owned it, it took video that looked like professional commercials and people would wow the out comes.. Also, w photography, Ive taken images w Sony a7II that would look more amazing than the images taken on a $2000 more expensive Sony a7rIII so I guess my question to you is... Do you think I should go to B&H to try on the lens you reviewed on my canon r3, or get a more movie style camera like the canon you own?

😎👌🏻💯

Quick garage to studio conversion.

I have had the same concerns with my rf glass. they are not designed to do heavy video work. However I have realized that turning off the Autofocus can help with longevity and not put so much work or strain on the camera. Though for interview work and even documentaries, the RF glass is great. now when one is doing high-movement videos or shots that have a lot going on then YES cinematic is very necessary for longevity and ease of work. But for CZcams, documentaries, and interviews RF glass is a huge bonus for amateur videographies.

Nipple.....

cool how do we see it?

Nice. Love the C70. What Luts did you use ?

Very nice work - going to check out the Canon CN-R lenses based on this.

17r with 2.9 whipple 18k running strong 💪

If they ask beforehand I really wouldn’t mind, however if they only asks me to send them the raw files after I’ve already sent them edited ones, I would think I’ve done badly (I still would send them)

There is no “Gen 1” or “Gen 2” engine model for the R engine, is that correct? I have a 2016 R,

White and blk is the best combo

“I don’t know if I’m excited or having a panic attack.” Lolz! Gold Bro.

Just a small critique: you should have shot the interior of you talking using a higher slightly higher T stop. Your lens is so wide open and the depth of field so shallow that most of the time your face is out of focus. A little higher T stop would have given you more more depth of field so that your face was always in focus, but still allowed for the nice bokeh and soft out-of-focus for your background. A little distracting when you're talking about the importance of focus and you're out of focus. Probably not noticeable on small screens, but I'm watching on a 50" monitor. Keep up the good work, though and good luck!

Very Chad, very Chad indeed.

Wow! I’ve owned both, ditched the fx6 because I just couldn’t do both…the c70 really has better colors and found myself very disappointed with fx6 footage. 15 years in the game, and still prefer canon. Fx6 great for low light, but thats what my fx3 is for.

Hi @AlexanderJawfox, great work; I love the look and your blocking; keep up the excellent work.

,👍🏿👍🏿

You've always been extremely talented, it's great to see you taking it to the next level, looks great!

Gonna be so dope!!

Awesome preview of the short film! And I loved how you showed the setup for the camera setup as well as the additional people you had helping with the shot as well. And dude. Again. Super stoked to see the next video you guys put together an ultimatly excited to see the finished short film!

I got the same setup! Along with the 24mm t1.5. It looks great!

❤

before you get too deep into the rf cine primes, maybe consider getting into PL (or EF) so that you aren't locked into canon/ red dsmc3. you're just paying too much to be system locked 🤷🏼‍♂

Great information! I feel like having a cinema lens on your camera is like having a mattebox 😂

It looks incredible!
