Things are hectic as I am frantically editing “You and your Canon C300” DVD which is why the blog has had a bit of a rest but thats the lull before the NAB 2012 storm. So far only Sony have announced their new camera line up and the NEX-FS700 is causing a storm with its 4K sensor and the 10x slow motion in full HD.
Not a dicky bird from Panasonic but this just in from our friends over at Canon Rumours…
Canon Cinema EOS 1D
- Full Frame
- Higher Megapixel than 1D X
- ALL-I, IPB and MJPEG 4K.
- Log Profiles
- Super35 Crop Mode
- Compatible with cinema lenses
- Priced around $10,000
Canon EOS C500
- To compete with RED Epic
- 4K at 120fps EOS RAW via 3G HD-SDI
- At 60 fps EOS RAW from the C500 is 12 bit.
- Priced around $35,000
The boys at Canon Rumours got the C300 spot on so I have no doubt that the C500 is on its way…fantastic. It puts my Lock Circle story in a bit of an anti climax but I just received my EF body cap protector and its the most practical device to arrive on my desk for a long while.
If like me you are changing lenses all day during filming you will not regret buying a “Lock Circle” body cap as the engineering is second to none and is 100x less footery to use than Canon’s original plastic effort.
