Thanks for this - super helpful! I just have a quick question - in order to use the dual pixel autofocus, do you have to use a Canon EF L Series lens, or could I use a Sigma EF Art lens and still use this feature? Thank you!
They are about the same. The newer versions of Canon L glass focus faster than previous versions. Canon's STM lenses are the ones designed with top focusing speeds that can keep up with Dual Pixel AutoFocus. Unfortunately, STM lenses are Canon's cheaper lenses and most are not as sharp as their L lens counterparts. It depends on the situation, film set, with ample set up time vs steadicam or event. I've used the Sigma 18-35mm 1.8 with Dual Pixel with no problems with autofocus, but it was too slow for steadicam work, so I just used a manual follow focus (with a bigger crew, wireless follow focus via teradeck).
Does it have a mic jack for a standard Rode Mic Pro (3mm). I'm thinking that mic might give better audio than the in camera scratch audio mic, although I'm not sure.
thank you very much guys ... can you make a video about the new scarlet w, with some comparison with the new epic and alexa mini? I know is a lower level camera between the ones you used to review but for many is a sweet spot for longer rental projects. thanks a lot and good job
Slow motion on the C300 mk II. What is the "slow & fast motion (crop)" option, that allows you to switch to 120fps? It says 1080p 10bit. I assume it's good quality, but I haven't actually recorded in that mode.
Great video

Hello, will the C300 MII AF work with the Sigma Art Lenses?!
Yes.

We have a new Epic-W video coming soon!
thank you great review. I am getting one
This is more a review of the camera than actual setup. C'mon dude. You already have the camera setup before the video begins.

How do you use the view finder with that battery on it?
the camera would use the internal batts in that mode.... stripped down to docu style..."low profile."
This is a review of the camera, not an actual setup. You're wasting people's time with your dishonesty. Call it a review.
I thought it would help me set up the camera but it didnt
