Been following Philip for so long, an artist in every sense. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving so much to the community for so long. Much love.
I grew up in a time where Videos have to be very stylistic and have cool party music, but after I discovered Philip Bloom, I see that films are meant to capture moments, and seeing the shots paired with amazing pieces is just so humanizing, if thats the way to describe it.
Kobeboy15 yeah I see a lot of filming in a style which I call "shock and awe", fast paced music with the bass cranked up as high as possible cutting so rapidly between shots to hide flaws, I suppose there's nothing inherently wrong with this and fast paced cutting can be used to good effect but for the most part I much prefer philip blooms style of displaying quality shots for long enough to take every little detail in. I find it really puts me in a pensive state
matty9460 I as a film maker myself, I've always forced myself to edit like that and create something that can make someone go wow, but Philip's style has a more lasting effect even after the video has ended and more satisfying result, where as the cut and awe really on last as long as the video, well thats what I think. I agree with you that not all are bad, but Im saying Philip opened my eyes to a new way of telling a story.
Kobeboy15 I think I get what you mean. It's like hearing a singer that is so good you don't want to cheer in the middle of a performance just so you don't miss a note.
I agree. I always wanted to be a filmmaker but I think Phillip Bloom is responsible for strengthening my desire to pursue filmmaking during this digital era. I've learned a lot watching his videos.
You Sir are a great story teller whether it's a short film or gear review as in this case, I am always thrilled to watch any of your videos. Keep them coming and I will keep watching for as long as I live. Breathtaking to say the least!!!!
I wish every review had this much footage. You're depth of testing was really nice. Testing ISO turns into a story. Kind of neat the way you do it. It's like you're a pro or something...?
You prolly dont give a shit but does any of you know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I was dumb lost my password. I would love any assistance you can give me.
@Gage Shiloh Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
How wonderful to be able to share good cameras with family like that. They clearly know what they are doing. Non-family assistants can be brilliant, but there is something special about working with family when they are good at the job.
Welcome back, Philip. V much enjoy this review, as others. So glad you took the time to share your thoughts and talent in this video. You've taught me so much about shooting DSLR video over the years. It's v much appreciated. Cheers -C.M.
It has taken me nearly two years since purchasing the first generation URSA Mini 4K EF to be able to outfit it with a shoulder mount kit, a viewfinder, a follow focus, a matte box, a couple of 4x4 filters and three decent lenses. I shot for five years on a Canon 7D. The difference in image quality, even in 1080p is remarkable. I would love to try other cameras such as the C200 but budgets being what they are...
That's why we love you Philip Bloom your camera review is much more believable than others I'm not saying that they are terrible reviewer but yours is the best.
as an indie filmaker I find this camera very exciting. I rarely can afford to hire a dedicated "experienced" focus puller for the lower budget stuff, so that dual pixel af is amazing, however I also want RAW for maximum grading on films (the RAW file size isn't usually an issue on set, I just use a laptop in a pelican case with a card reader and ssd drive, that way I can shoot RAW for a full day on two cfast cards). Up until recently nothing offered dual pixel af with raw at under $10,000, that being said if you don't need/want the dual pixel af, than for the money there may be better options
Very nice review, finally starting to remind me of your old reviews, which I love! Keep up your good work, even if you don't have the time, or money to do reviews like you used to do! I still enjoy every of your videos, because I love your filming style. I even visited your little talk at Photokina last year. Hope to see more Videos soon, regards from Germany!
Love your reviews man, so detailed and with such beautiful shots. I now know to stick with the Panasonic EVA1 or something similar. Thank you Mr Bloom, your hard work is appreciated by us all
Thank you for putting time and effort in this great review video. Helps me a lot in chosing the right camera’s for production and getting ready for a shoot. Keep up the Good work👍🏻
Great review even if I will never be able to justify buying (and camera renting is way too expensive in OZ for amateurs). Love your choice of background music too; it's so nice that you actually note the titles/source for your chosen music at the end; I wish many others would do the same.
Thanks a mill for doing this review Phil. I was really looking forward to it. Footage looks amazing, but I'm still on the fence until they introduce 10 bit and RAW output at 4k 60p (possibly in a future firmware update?). Much appreciated, Tim
Great Review!!! Helped me choose my camera for the next shoot. Loved the portion where you choose which camera would give you the best footage... Hope Sarah's not seen this video!!!
It's an interesting system, by being the '200' it feels kinda like a half-step upgrade as they do with iphones (6 then 6S etc) but it's quite clear this is a full blown upgrade.
Love it!! I don't really care about your reviews I just enjoy your videos so insanely much!! Thx! And by the way, I totally agree that product reviews should be later on after some weeks... PB - good job!!
Hey Philip please don't ignore this comment! I've watched your videos and your blog too couldn't find something about kinefinity Terra series? it would be nice to give us some advice -Thanks
You are fast becoming my go to for inspiration and advice. Many thanks for all your wonderful videos. My local hive I Chiswick by the river. If I bump into you one day, I promise I won't spoil the shot !
How do you think the image stacks up in Raw when compared to the the C70 and R5? I hear that the C200 has a different colour Science which edges more towards green?
First of all: Nice Review!...as always. And pretty nice shots. I just noticed that the C200 is probably going the typical Canon way of Product lines. I think mid 2018 the C300 MK III will come out with the same features plus anything doing better and giving the XAVC-L or whatever in 10 Bit. I really like the Colours, the files from the Canons and the workflow behind the camera better. But you can get an FS5 plus an external Recorder for less money. Sure it's not the same. In some ways it will be better. And in some not. But i think Canon is doing its usual way of holding back things. Its giving practically unusable options of better Codec/DR and saying "Here it is. There you have it. But you dind'nt pay enough." Lets be honest: Who is able to afford shooting constantly in Raw and gonna buy a C200? As it often goes with Canon: After the announcement everyone is ecxited and half a year later you see that canon pulled of their usual move. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Canon C200 vs Canon 1DX Mark II? Most things I shoot are very "run and gun". Which camera would you recommend? I'm currently shooting on a Canon 5D Mark IV. Thanks Phil - great review!
Thanks for the review, going to BUY either this the C200 or a 1DXII in the next few days to be my new A-cam [pushing the 5DIII to b-cam]. Without thinking too hard would you rather have the 1dxii or the C200 if there was no fs7 or rx100iv in your bag?
thanks Phillip Bloom! time for the Eva 1 and then we can finally make our decision. do you know why there aren't a lot of c200 reviews? I thought it had something to do with an embargo like the gh5 but cinema 5D has a review
can you tell me if the C200 can record scratch audio WITHOUT the XLR mic? This is for if I put the C200 on a gimbal and I don't have any space for the XLR mic. Then I can sync the audio from the C200 to a digital recorder in post.
Philip, I don't think you should be bothered about review\vlog\impression classification of this kind of videos. Neither about the value for the viewers. The quality of your work doesn't depend on the duration. I may say that your audience will be glad to get any form or any duration. So when you have time and energy please film anything for youtube. Thank you.
422 in 8bit 4k is a yes. 1080p 422 10 bit. alternatively you can shoot raw and convert to proress 444 in post, but they may not be possible for everyone
Does C200 also have auto ISO?! I'm just trying to see whether in a quick run and gun documentary situation this camera can use AF and Auto Exposure to shoot something quick like a DSLR in Auto mode but with C-Log on either RAW or its 150mbs modes. Thanks for the video!! :) (PS. I'm enjoying your cinematic class on MZED! Great job there too!!)
Amazing review as always, Philip! Leaning more & more towards buying this camera, and this has been a huge help! Would you happen to know if it does 4K 60p in the MP4 mode? I know it does it with the Cinema Light raw, but I haven't been able to confirm if it does 4K 60p in MP4 mode. Thanks again for all your great work!
Awesome! Thank you so much for answering, must've missed it in the official Canon announcement, swear I still haven't seen that info anywhere haha. And this is true 4K 60p, with sound and all? Not just a "fast/slow" mode like the "variable frame rate" mode in the GH5...? Also, the captions do say MP4 but there was no "4K 60p MP4" caption. Either way, thanks for the response!
You mentioned that the you had to be careful of clipping in the highlights when shooting in MP4 mode, is it the same case on the end of the spectrum with the shadows? How well do you think the latitude kept up while shooting in 8-bit?
First of all, thanks for the review. Is it just me or does the Film Convert grading make the colors look unrealistic? I understand that the colors can be anything you want them to be and Film Convert can be great for achieving a certain "look". It seems like something more realistic would be helpful when reviewing the camera.
I use a Canon C100 M2 and I have high hopes for the C200, but I'm not sure yet - jury is out. I don't quite get it - the graded footage in this review still looks flat and dead in my book.
Thanks Philip for the great videos. I need your advice. I like ursa mini pro 4.6k very much but am torn between UMP, c200 and fs7 1. UMP looks great for price, features, codecs, video quality, dual cfast to dual ssd recording, etc but it's not very good in low light and autofocusing but then narrative films need manual focus and lightings but for event and run and gun work c200/fs7 1 seems great, but no prores 10 bit 422 internally and no 2 cfast for backup in c200 which doesn't justify it over UMP or fs7 1. I still think UMP might be good for both events and narrative films for its price/features etc. What do you think please? Thanks & Regards.
Great video Phil, thanks a lot! I am in the process of buying a C200 myself and have a really stupid and noob question but.. i will ask anyway simply because I dont know about it or how this camera works. When shooting RAW, are any video profiles or LOG modes selectable or can/need to be applied (like when shooting MP4), or because its RAW, basically is just RAW straight out of the sensor with no procession and end of story? Thanks again :)
Solid review - classy delivery. I was just thinking how nice that font is - am I focussing on the wrong part of the film? :) I was going to ask what is it, and then I thought there must be a font matching web service and there is (font squirrel) - it thinks it is Futura *something* - in Adobe Typekit, the closest to me seems to be Futura PT Book - is that a good guess?
hmm i still fell like the ursa mini 4.6k still beats it imo with extras like sdi out and timecode in, dual cfast and sd slots, cinema dng (widely supported) or apple prores at way better data rates. canon has the low light advantage, canons color science and that autofocus touchy thing...hmmm tough one
If a person buy a c200 because of its autofocus capabilities would a cinema lens then make any kind of sense, or are cinema lenses only for manual focus?
may depend what you're shooting in, for example in standard picture profiles my a7sii is very clean, but in flatter s-log profiles it can look more noisy. my guess (based of off nothing) would be that in c-log it will be cleaner than the 1dc, but when shooting raw with c-log2 it may be nosier, however because it's raw you can clean up the noise more in post with neat video
I get the same feeling after watching a Philip Bloom camera review as I do after a short film. It feels so nice to watch these and I wish they were more profitable so that this could be the main channel I come to for gear reviews
Only two quibbles with this camera: 1.) no 10 bit codec of any variety simply makes no sense. I am open to any argument why it could be reasonably excluded from a camera at this level 2. shocking amount of color noise. I have looked at all the footage produced thus far (caveat being they're all from pre-production models) and the footage at first glance looks really quite nice. But if you scrutinize it (for instance in Dock to Dish), the shadows are completely full of color noise. Now it could be for any number of reasons including improper exposure, but the fact that I've seen it in all footage online from the camera does give me bit of pause. Other than that it looks very good. For some reason Canon want this to be a raw cinema camera and pretty much nothing else. They've made it exorbitantly expensive by choosing CFast cards, but you can work around that pretty easily. I think it will sell reasonably well, but with the absence of a 10 bit codec Canon have severely limited broader market appeal.
Blue Key Media If they're in a public place they have no expectations of privacy so they can be photographed legally. If you are going to use the footage for commercial gain you will need a release, for non-commercial you won't.
it looks like the same noise I get in s-log on my a7sii, he mentions using the rx100 later in the video, so my gues is he was filming slog-2 on the rx100 inside
Been following Philip for so long, an artist in every sense. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and giving so much to the community for so long. Much love.
The voice, the filming, the music.....harmonious perfection. Very enjoyable review.
I grew up in a time where Videos have to be very stylistic and have cool party music, but after I discovered Philip Bloom, I see that films are meant to capture moments, and seeing the shots paired with amazing pieces is just so humanizing, if thats the way to describe it.

If I'm ever in need of a new piece of gear you are my first stop when I begin doing research. Thanks for being you Philip! You're awesome!
Philip's reviews (and his videos in general) always make you want to watch them forever... 17 minutes felt like 2 minutes. Lovely.
You Sir are a great story teller whether it's a short film or gear review as in this case, I am always thrilled to watch any of your videos. Keep them coming and I will keep watching for as long as I live. Breathtaking to say the least!!!!

@Gage Shiloh Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and I'm trying it out now.
Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Gage Shiloh it worked and I actually got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thanks so much you really help me out!
@Nolan Conner happy to help xD
How wonderful to be able to share good cameras with family like that. They clearly know what they are doing. Non-family assistants can be brilliant, but there is something special about working with family when they are good at the job.
When i see the word "review" and the name "Philip Bloom" in the same video, i just clicked.
Me too! haha
you are a simple man like me
One of the nicest reviews I've watched - and that includes watching people from Canon with this camera.
You convinced me to get one.
Welcome back, Philip. V much enjoy this review, as others. So glad you took the time to share your thoughts and talent in this video. You've taught me so much about shooting DSLR video over the years. It's v much appreciated. Cheers -C.M.
That's a beautiful image. Great range and wonderful skin. Thank you Philip. Looking forward to the EVA1 review soon. Thanks for what you do.
Why am I so excited for a review of a camera that I clearly can't afford (and probably don't need anyways)...
Relatable.
Like the rest of us, you're probably more excited to see content from Phillip than the actual information in the video.
Kane. Also already old news.,
You should get excited because in 3 yrs, you probably can get it for 1/3- 1/2 the listed price and you might be able to afford it.
Because you're a camera nerd. ;D
Philip, i admire your work, i love the way you capture people and often overlooked details. Thank you for this great Review.
It has taken me nearly two years since purchasing the first generation URSA Mini 4K EF to be able to outfit it with a shoulder mount kit, a viewfinder, a follow focus, a matte box, a couple of 4x4 filters and three decent lenses. I shot for five years on a Canon 7D. The difference in image quality, even in 1080p is remarkable. I would love to try other cameras such as the C200 but budgets being what they are...
I do like watching these with a beer! Thanks for taking the time!
I love your genuine care for all things in life. Thank you for your Art.
I dunno why I should watch any other review channel. Always come back to PB for honest thorough reviews.
That's why we love you Philip Bloom your camera review is much more believable than others I'm not saying that they are terrible reviewer but yours is the best.
Mr. Bloom, you are a sight for sore eyes! Thank you for what you do~
nice review phillip, some good candid shots of Richmond, just down the road from where im from
as an indie filmaker I find this camera very exciting. I rarely can afford to hire a dedicated "experienced" focus puller for the lower budget stuff, so that dual pixel af is amazing, however I also want RAW for maximum grading on films (the RAW file size isn't usually an issue on set, I just use a laptop in a pelican case with a card reader and ssd drive, that way I can shoot RAW for a full day on two cfast cards).

I still enjoy every of your videos, because I love your filming style. I even visited your little talk at Photokina last year.
Hope to see more Videos soon,
regards from Germany!
Love the coloring and skin tones.
Love your reviews man, so detailed and with such beautiful shots. I now know to stick with the Panasonic EVA1 or something similar. Thank you Mr Bloom, your hard work is appreciated by us all
Cak until i get it in my hands I won't be able to make the final call, but so far from what I see it seems much more applicable for my needs
So glad you did a review for the C200! I'm really on the fence about buying this.
I love this guy, learned a lot from him!
Thank you for putting time and effort in this great review video.
Helps me a lot in chosing the right camera’s for production and getting ready for a shoot. Keep up the Good work👍🏻
Wow! The colors look so good.
Never disappointed, awesome video as usual Phillip
Great review even if I will never be able to justify buying (and camera renting is way too expensive in OZ for amateurs). Love your choice of background music too; it's so nice that you actually note the titles/source for your chosen music at the end; I wish many others would do the same.
Great job Philip - as always!
The skin tone from the C200 though, it's really really nice!
Thanks Philip! Appreciate your time and insight.
Thanks a mill for doing this review Phil. I was really looking forward to it. Footage looks amazing, but I'm still on the fence until they introduce 10 bit and RAW output at 4k 60p (possibly in a future firmware update?). Much appreciated, Tim
That RX100 footage looks fantastic.
C200 paired with a black magic video assist for some juicy prores action would be a killer setup!
Never left pornhub so fast 💯
Prove it.
@TheChosenOne I haven't laughed so hard at a comment all week.
Please review the Panasonic EVA1 I might sell my FS5 and get that if it's all it hopes to be.
Yes I am also waiting for that
Great Review!!! Helped me choose my camera for the next shoot. Loved the portion where you choose which camera would give you the best footage... Hope Sarah's not seen this video!!!
It's an interesting system, by being the '200' it feels kinda like a half-step upgrade as they do with iphones (6 then 6S etc) but it's quite clear this is a full blown upgrade.
Does this camera still have autofocus in 60p?
Fantastic to watch as always
Love this! Thank you for years of amazing content!
Love it!! I don't really care about your reviews I just enjoy your videos so insanely much!! Thx! And by the way, I totally agree that product reviews should be later on after some weeks... PB - good job!!
Lovely footage. To my eye the colors look a little muted. Faces, the green foliage, the sky. Nice cam.
Good work mate great review. I can see why it takes a lot of time to review.
The RAW is sooooo much better! The color needs some more dynamic quality. Is 14 bit just not a possibility with Canon lower end cinema cameras?
Now directly supported in Final Cut Pro 10.4!
Brilliant review - thanks as ever Philip!
Your idea of messy kitchen is my idea of spotless. Lol
As always, a masterful review!
Been waiting for a review of this. Thank you so much.
Your background music choice is top drawer.
Does anyone know when this camera actually goes on sale?? Everywhere is just saying pre order and I am so impatient to get my hands on it 😂
B&H expected availability beginning August 2017
www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1340801-REG/canon_2244c002_eos_c200_24_105_kit.html
Still pre order
Hey Philip please don't ignore this comment!
I've watched your videos and your blog too couldn't find something about kinefinity Terra series? it would be nice to give us some advice -Thanks
Never seen one
glad your back!
You are fast becoming my go to for inspiration and advice. Many thanks for all your wonderful videos. My local hive I Chiswick by the river. If I bump into you one day, I promise I won't spoil the shot !
How do you think the image stacks up in Raw when compared to the the C70 and R5? I hear that the C200 has a different colour Science which edges more towards green?
yes thats exactly what i was thinking
Ha, me in my little world with my GH3 and a $30 Fujian 35mm F1.7
But it's nice to dream
First of all: Nice Review!...as always. And pretty nice shots.
I just noticed that the C200 is probably going the typical Canon way of Product lines. I think mid 2018 the C300 MK III will come out with the same features plus anything doing better and giving the XAVC-L or whatever in 10 Bit.

Philip! Are you coming back New Zealand anytime soon? Would love to show you around if you're in town
Canon C200 vs Canon 1DX Mark II? Most things I shoot are very "run and gun". Which camera would you recommend? I'm currently shooting on a Canon 5D Mark IV. Thanks Phil - great review!

I still use the 5dmk2, it has a look that I like and can't get on other cameras.
canturgan ha! Stick a blur filter on and you will be there!
I thoroughly enjoyed this, mate!
Philip, I don't think you should be bothered about review\vlog\impression classification of this kind of videos. Neither about the value for the viewers. The quality of your work doesn't depend on the duration. I may say that your audience will be glad to get any form or any duration. So when you have time and energy please film anything for youtube. Thank you.
Is this better than the c300 mk2? I’ve heard that there’s a lot of problems with it.
Great review, thank you Philip! Beautiful footage and music. Do you know if this camera can do 422 out?
thanks. yes it can
Erik Hill it does 10 bit 422 out in 1080
422 in 8bit 4k is a yes. 1080p 422 10 bit. alternatively you can shoot raw and convert to proress 444 in post, but they may not be possible for everyone
Does C200 also have auto ISO?!

Amazing review as always, Philip! Leaning more & more towards buying this camera, and this has been a huge help!
Would you happen to know if it does 4K 60p in the MP4 mode? I know it does it with the Cinema Light raw, but I haven't been able to confirm if it does 4K 60p in MP4 mode. Thanks again for all your great work!
JohnFelipo yes it does canon confirmed it in their announcement
JohnFelipo yes it does. That’s what you were watching for most part (says so in the captions)
Awesome! Thank you so much for answering, must've missed it in the official Canon announcement, swear I still haven't seen that info anywhere haha.
And this is true 4K 60p, with sound and all? Not just a "fast/slow" mode like the "variable frame rate" mode in the GH5...? Also, the captions do say MP4 but there was no "4K 60p MP4" caption. Either way, thanks for the response!
Do you have a link? Swear I still can't see it anywhere haha...just saw that B&H added that info in the specs though
JohnFelipo look at canon USA's official video on UA-cam its a highlighted feature
Would you say this is a good buy in 2020?
You mentioned that the you had to be careful of clipping in the highlights when shooting in MP4 mode, is it the same case on the end of the spectrum with the shadows? How well do you think the latitude kept up while shooting in 8-bit?
A wild Mamiya 7 appears at 17:08!
First of all, thanks for the review. Is it just me or does the Film Convert grading make the colors look unrealistic? I understand that the colors can be anything you want them to be and Film Convert can be great for achieving a certain "look". It seems like something more realistic would be helpful when reviewing the camera.
100% disagree. I have included STACKS of ungraded shots. I am going to make my finished shots look how I want them and I chose this look here.
I use a Canon C100 M2 and I have high hopes for the C200, but I'm not sure yet - jury is out. I don't quite get it - the graded footage in this review still looks flat and dead in my book.
Great camera. But think I will be waiting for the Panasonic EVA-1....
What camera and lens did your film this with? That image in your room looks amazing
I'm shooting a mini doc pretty soon and a short film right after that. I'm torn between hiring a C200 or EVA1. Any thoughts? Maybe I'll try both
Looks like I will be saving up for this camera next year. Where do you get your music? And what were the song titles?
360p community, I guess I'm to early for ya UA-cam ;)
for me it was stuck in 1440p not 360p.
Thanks Philip for the great videos.
I need your advice.
I like ursa mini pro 4.6k very much but am torn between UMP, c200 and fs7 1.
UMP looks great for price, features, codecs, video quality, dual cfast to dual ssd recording, etc but it's not very good in low light and autofocusing but then narrative films need manual focus and lightings but for event and run and gun work c200/fs7 1 seems great, but no prores 10 bit 422 internally and no 2 cfast for backup in c200 which doesn't justify it over UMP or fs7 1.
I still think UMP might be good for both events and narrative films for its price/features etc.
What do you think please?
Thanks & Regards.
Great video Phil, thanks a lot! I am in the process of buying a C200 myself and have a really stupid and noob question but.. i will ask anyway simply because I dont know about it or how this camera works. When shooting RAW, are any video profiles or LOG modes selectable or can/need to be applied (like when shooting MP4), or because its RAW, basically is just RAW straight out of the sensor with no procession and end of story? Thanks again :)
thank you so much for your efforts Philip.
is the viewfinder of the canon c200 good?
woww,..the images look soooooooooooooooo pleasant to the eyes,..
Solid review - classy delivery. I was just thinking how nice that font is - am I focussing on the wrong part of the film? :) I was going to ask what is it, and then I thought there must be a font matching web service and there is (font squirrel) - it thinks it is Futura *something* - in Adobe Typekit, the closest to me seems to be Futura PT Book - is that a good guess?
Future medium
I like the RX100 shots too!
hmm i still fell like the ursa mini 4.6k still beats it imo with extras like sdi out and timecode in, dual cfast and sd slots, cinema dng (widely supported) or apple prores at way better data rates. canon has the low light advantage, canons color science and that autofocus touchy thing...hmmm tough one
Lazybear low light, autofocus trump the Ursa mini for me even with its prores
Great review! What camera are you using for the vlog style selfie shots?
Sony RX100 V
If a person buy a c200 because of its autofocus capabilities would a cinema lens then make any kind of sense, or are cinema lenses only for manual focus?
mejlgaardbliddal what sort of cinema lens? Yes they are generally all manual. Manual is great for lots of filming
thanks mr. Bloom
Thanks for doing this review!
How does C200 noise compare to the 1Dc (or just in general how does this compare to the 1Dc). Thanks for the review! :)
I think it might be noisier
may depend what you're shooting in, for example in standard picture profiles my a7sii is very clean, but in flatter s-log profiles it can look more noisy. my guess (based of off nothing) would be that in c-log it will be cleaner than the 1dc, but when shooting raw with c-log2 it may be nosier, however because it's raw you can clean up the noise more in post with neat video
I get the same feeling after watching a Philip Bloom camera review as I do after a short film. It feels so nice to watch these and I wish they were more profitable so that this could be the main channel I come to for gear reviews
Philip, is there any camera out there that you don't add something external to it? ;)
Jake Alexander Bryant point and shoot?
Only two quibbles with this camera: 1.) no 10 bit codec of any variety simply makes no sense. I am open to any argument why it could be reasonably excluded from a camera at this level 2. shocking amount of color noise.
I have looked at all the footage produced thus far (caveat being they're all from pre-production models) and the footage at first glance looks really quite nice. But if you scrutinize it (for instance in Dock to Dish), the shadows are completely full of color noise. Now it could be for any number of reasons including improper exposure, but the fact that I've seen it in all footage online from the camera does give me bit of pause.
Other than that it looks very good. For some reason Canon want this to be a raw cinema camera and pretty much nothing else. They've made it exorbitantly expensive by choosing CFast cards, but you can work around that pretty easily. I think it will sell reasonably well, but with the absence of a 10 bit codec Canon have severely limited broader market appeal.
did you see the cinema5d raw video on vimeo, they have a download link for highest quality scrutiny, I thought it looked pretty clean
How do you go about filming people in public? Do you just do it, or do you ask for their permission?
Blue Key Media If they're in a public place they have no expectations of privacy so they can be photographed legally. If you are going to use the footage for commercial gain you will need a release, for non-commercial you won't.
Yes, I go back to see if I can find the same people a week later to get a release signed.
A lot of noise in the shadows Phil on the indoor shots. Slog 3 on a mirrorless?
it looks like the same noise I get in s-log on my a7sii, he mentions using the rx100 later in the video, so my gues is he was filming slog-2 on the rx100 inside
Time Machine Media it’s HD upscaled and low light.
