The Canon C300 is Finally Here!!!

In order to appreciate this newest marvel you need to understand the thought process behind its technology.  The C300 is NOT a video camera and NOT a still camera.  The Canon C300 a truly a professional CINE camera where there are no automatic features (except for maybe a preset white balance) which gives you complete control of your shoot.  The design of the C300 camera was built around the Super 35 sized sensor and then improved upon the features borrowed from its existing cousin the XF305. 

Special thanks to Brian Schilling, www.schillingfilm.com as he got his hands on the Canon C300 and shared with us a short piece he shot.  Brian states, "The C300 was quite a pleasure to shoot with.  It happened quickly that the controls felt familiar, so I wasn't fumbling to make on-the-second creative decisions.  There was obviously a lot of input in the design of this camera.  It shows that Canon was listening by how customizable it is, both inside and out.  I really like that I was able to change the side grip to an angle that felt natural to my body.  It was important for us to be able to set a custom file name, and we were easily able to.  It now has timecode and shot metadata.  Canon has taken the best qualities of their DSLR lines and their Camcorder lines and made something that is quickly familiar, comfortable to use, and creates great images right out of the box.  I was able to get it through post-production with drivers I already had installed on my computer.  Overall, I'm very excited about this new camera, and I look forward to using it a lot more in the near future."
