Your reviews differ greatly from the usual and expected “gear nerds” who simply recite already published specs. You are not an employee or paid endorser of Canon - yet you deliver remarkably in-depth, concise and easily understandable presentations for which Canon should express appreciation. It is apparent you put in the effort to learn in depth about the new camera (which hasn’t even been released yet) and think things through - explaining the creative benefits of new capabilities and features (based on your personal practical experience) to fellow filmmakers. Bravo.
Thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to hear that my reviews resonate with fellow filmmakers. I strive to go beyond the specs and share insights based on real-world experience to help others understand the creative benefits of new gear. I appreciate your recognition and support.
I knew my boy Kamal was going to be all over this! It’s a great day for Canon and it’s about damn time! My take is this is just their lower tier of cameras that are coming. The C500iii is next with full size everything and DGO.
Yessir lol! Definitely a great day as Triple Base ISO and New Sensor Tech for the price a welcomed release. In my research a DGO Sensor in a Full Frame camera is going to have a Negative impact on rolling shutter based on how it operates which is why it's reserved for Super 35mm cameras. Canon could possibly copy follow a similar path as Arri by making the Flagship "Alexa 35" a Super 35mm camera with improve DGO sensor with 17+ Stops of DR but the if I had to guess the next High End Cinema camera would be a replacement for the C700. My wallet is closed after this C400 Purchase, as for now lol!!!!
They placed it between the c300 and c500 because they're going to bring out the c600 at 15k+. The question is are you going to want (and afford) that one when they release it, I know I won't. The c400 hits a sweet spot, if anything it's still a stretch for someone in my shoes as I'm sure a lot of other solo/small crew shooters which this camera seems aimed at, when cheaper options are around that get you same/similar image at the cost of convenience and pro I/O etc. Still, if you're invested in the Canon system and were waiting for an RF cinema option, like I was, then it's really hard to resist this camera.
C600 that' s a. nice guess but if I think it would probably have to be a C800 as successor to the C700 FF is long overdue. The C400 hits the sweet spot for me as well and to be honest if my C500 MKII had an RF mount I'd more than likely skip Pre-Order and purchase camera $1K off via Open Box or Used. I just feel my RF 24-70 f2.8 Is is waisted on my super 35 C70 and the possibility of selling my my RF 15-35L & RF 24-105L for the new 24-105L f.28 to live on the C400 is Game Changer Setup as I shoot f2.8 and higher 95% of time.
BOOM!! I ordered one the next day. Just wondering what I'm gonna cut ties with... 2 C70's or 1 C70 and an R5c? Good problems to have. Canon fan!!! Never gonna get me to switch. Great feedback!
Thanks for watching, Excellent choice on Pre Order. I’m almost in similar situation deciding to split ties with my c500 and c70 at least you’re RF all the way around. I would put c70 and R5C up for sell and see which one gets better resale value. C70 price might be dropping but the value of camera is going to hold up for sometime.
The Question is… Is the C400 capable of being the ultimate Run and Gun style Cinema camera? Can It give you a superior image with acceptable internal stabilization and continuous autofocus tracking?! If the answer is yes, then this camera is worth buying ahead of the Red Komodo. The canon promo was not a great representative btw, we need some more real world footage from this camera
Canon is Horrible at Marketing and there Reps do a horrible job promoting the true value of cinema cameras. Canon C500MKII has superior image quality and the C400 improves on that so check 1 ... Internal Stabilization sounds good in theory and with the new VCM lenses I anticipate a beautiful pairing but more important with the camera 10% smaller than C500 MKII and more boxy design with DJI RS4 having stronger motors that's the move to make ... RED Komodo is not even in ball park but Komodo X maybe but outside the global shutter I don't see any advantages that justify KX being worth twice the price of c400 to match it right out of box. Real world footage is out and based on previous releases I'm confident it will hold up when released to masses.
@@KamalJones Sorry man, throwing this box on an RS3 or 4 is too heavy, I'm going to wait and see what the R1 has to offer first before jumping on the C400.
Or we can look at as a better alternative than the Red Komodo X which is more Expensive and besides global shutter outshines in every way. There’s a reason why Arri is the industry standard with a Max resolution of 4.5K in any camera. IMO 6K is the perfect resolution giving you reframing and future proofing capabilities. If resolution was a Top Priority the black magic 12k would have been more popular option among cinema cameras.
Great Content you killed that I’m undecided on the Komodo X and the C400. I haven’t yet put the specs side by side but from what I know the C400 seems to be ahead!!
Thanks bro and I’ll have to say IMO the c400 beats Komodo X out in every way besides having Global shutter, unless you’re doing whip pans and fast action shooting regularly or in your market you can charge more for Nikon Cinema camera formerly known as RED it’s a no brainer.

Great info but please take a pause when explaining things, gets hard to take in.
Love the passion.
Noted, lol!
Great review Kamal 👌🏾
Even as a previous Canon shooter, I’m very surprised with these specs and happy for the Canon Camp
Thanks Bro and we're on the same page as the Triple Base ISO completed surprised me lol!

@@KamalJones Yes but the sensor/processing is so fast GS is not really a thing on the C400 from what I've seen.
Totally Agree as it's rare situations that you would need GS
Nothing loses value quicker than a Red. Nothing holds its value longer than a Sony or Canon
@@queefreak666 facts!!!
🔥content - #Facts the C500MK2 absolutely has more DR than the C70 which makes them both terrific tools
Thanks Carlos and I feel exactly same way which is why I’m excited about the release of c400
