I've been sitting by my laptop rocking backwards and forth for weeks hoping this review was coming and it certainly didn't disappoint. Thanks for another outstanding in-depth review Mr Undone. I know what I'll be spending my pocket money on later this year.
Separate from my previous comment about the CFexpress card and reader, I very much appreciate your review of the C300 Mark III. It helped confirm in my mind that I want the C300 Mark III instead of the C500 Mark II. Additionally, I always appreciate your reviews. They are clear, concise and easy to understand. You are a straight shooter without being mean or rude, which is the way everyone should be when doing reviews. I also like your reviews that get really deep into the technical stuff. Keep up the great work.
Nice coverage - thanks Gerald! This is tempting. I find myself using my C200 more and more over the P6K because is is just a simpler setup - no need for a follow focus or a big cine battery plate hanging off the back. So now the C300mkIII is tempting as a new A cam.
This was the first comment that appeared for me under the video. Well done this one got me good! 🤣🤣🤣 I can see someone holding that in front of themselves in public now 😂.
This is probably one of, if not, the best reviews on the C300 mk iii. I'm really hoping you do one just as in-depth for the Canon Eos C70 which I am eagerly anticipating!
Great review! As an owner of a C500 Mark II, I agree that this camera should be up there. The 120fps w/ AF alone is worth it. However, the fullframe look is definitely hard to beat.
If I paid 6k more to buy the c500 mark ii than c300 mark iii I would probably said the same. BUT thank God I didnt and bought the c300 mark iii. And now I can say that very few could tell the difference about the fullframe look. And believe me my clients cant tell the difference for sure... :)
Great review Gerald! I really enjoyed some time with a C500 MKII recently and preordered a C70 on day 1 because of it, but anticipate selling my last Panasonic EVA1 in the future and picking up a Canon C300 MKIII. Thank you Gerald.
As someone who is mostly actor and writer and just scratching the surface for cinematography, your videos are mesmerizing. Your voice is so soothing, and I only understand about half of what you say, so I get into a kind of trance watching them... Love the detail, though. ~Trav
Thank you for verifiing why the C300 miii is my current fav cinema camera. Yes it's annoying there is no RF mount option but give me the smaller Super35 sensor over Full Frame with better features any day. Well Undone Mr Undone👌🏿👌🏿
I've been watching your reviews for a while and I've always appreciated your thoroughness and professionalism, but I wish you'd include more test footage (and I don't mean color charts and objects), because technical specs and functionality matter a lot, but at the end of the day we need to gauge the image quality of a camera (at least it's important for me), as I can handle any quirks if the camera produces a good image
So thorough, wow! Such a great review, this really changed my view of the C300mkiii...now I want one. Thank you, I always trust this channel for solid and thoughtful camera advice.
I recently wrap a shoot using this camera (provided by canon), I would say this camera is the few camera I feel that I don't need overexposed and I can live with normal exposure and even underexposed little bit. the grain structure is much improved compare to c300 2 and c500 2 (both shows very similar fixed pattern grain).
All major brands should give their new cameras to review people like you...... coz this is what we need to know. the quality of your VIDEOS are next level brother. Keep on doing ♥️😍
Love the Review. Question though. I picked up a Canon C100 at a great price under $1k. Even though 1080, do you think it still holds / for youtube in 2020?
7:20 - To correct you : You may notice that your signal on your waveform can go beyond 100, or below 0 (there is some room above and below). So, the thing is that the wafeform is using an IRE scaling ( -6% to 109% IRE, where 0% to 100% IRE correspond to limited range) while the zebra is using full scale signal (0 to 1023 in 10 bits) That means that 0% on the waveform corresponds to 0% IRE = 64 (on a 10 bits scale) And 100% on the waveform corresponds to 100% IRE = 940 (10 bits) (And just to be clear : -6% IRE = 0, and 109% = 1023) With a quick formula, you find that 92% IRE is equal to roughly 872 in term of 10 bits value While 86% (full scale) is equal to ~880 The small gap between the 2 value comes from your percentage reading on the waveform !
I can't wait to get mine. Preordered shortly after the announcement and I've been checking my back account every day to see when the money comes out so I can actually expect mine haha
Hey Friend! So I'm curious... been looking on B&H everyday & it just says "New Item Coming Soon" Is this camera already out & available? I've been so confused trying to find information on this camera & its release! I'm late to the party on it but most defiantly getting it! Any insight would help. Thanks :)
"Gerald Undone.... He's Crazy! " ... Hey Gerald.. how are the media files to work with in Resolve? Anything I should be aware of in editing workflow with those files? How does it look compared to BRAW from an Ursa Mini Pro 4.6 G2? A new kink in this buying decision.... The new Ursa Mini 12K is $1,000 less than the C300 MKIII Thoughts?
Are you planning on reviewing the Canon Eos R5 or R6? I find your reviews always by far the best so i'd love to see one from you, especially because you're a videographer and I only see reviews from hybrid shooters or photographers.
G, U have an awesome video on the c300 mark iii - just bought one and trying to set up. Any tutorials or ideas on where to go to learn how to set false color for skin tones? Thx for all the knowledge!
I would love to see a comprehensive shootout of the C300ii and FX9, though I suspect the results would be pretty inconclusive as far as which is "better." We are quite blessed to have such choices these days.
Sounds great, and I managed to keep up with your review Gerald, without reverting to 75% playback speed... Nore than ever it's a minefield for us punters and the clarity and depth of your reviews is very helpful. Dual gain sensor is really clever and the future I think - an APC sized sensor trashing a full frame, about time. No comment about heat or duration, this must be a proper video camera!
Dude how do you have less than 150k subs?! Awesome review! I'm looking to add the C300 II as an A cam with my P6K as B and my 5D4 as C if necessary. Hoping it is easy enough to color match with my P6K.
My C200 is only ever user in my studio and for client interviews in a controlled environment. The controlled lighting means that's more than I need. Whenever I'm out in the wild, I prefer something more portable that can be used more easily hand held or on a gimbal. I love Canon cinema cameras, and this looks like a great option, but I'd probably still use my GH5 more.
Would love to see you explaining with more details the waveform behavior on CLog 2 you so briefly talked about. I've rewinded and watched many times and still wasn't able to truly understand why it does what it does... Great review, Gerald!
One thing that most people don't consider when they like or dislike any camera is "shoot day anxiety". We all have it and the biggest consideration of buying a $ 15K camera that nobody really talks about is the having most of the controls on the outside of the camera in the form of those dials and buttons makes you less anxious and more inclined to change settings. There are so many things to keep track of when shooting that those buttons are great compared to searching though menus and potentially messing something up when $$ and your rep' is on the line. A BMPCC4k with a a button setup like the Canon C serious would be amazing, or maybe a special breakout box that you attach to the usb type-C...., wait! that was my idea lol!!!!
Thank you Gerald for an amazing overview of the camera. Very deep and detailed, as always. One question, did I get it right that the camera can’t record in 12bit raw at 50/60 fps?
It doesn’t make sense that you only have 150k subs.. but then again you’re probably too technical, articulate and intelligent for most people to comprehend the complexity of your videos. 🤦🏽♂️
Love your organization. I'm only watching to support because I've decided on upgrading from my Osmo Pocket & Canon 7D to the GH5 or the X-T4 (I really want the silver and black X-T4 with a sub 24mm lens and a 50mm lens).
Hey Gerald, I think I'd agree with you on the C300 Mk III being my favorite cinema camera at the moment. However, with the C200 now only costing $5,500, and as someone who shoots mostly event coverage, indie narratives, and occasional commercials but never for professional broadcast companies as of yet, I'm having trouble deciding if it's actually worth spending exactly twice as much just for the addition of the 10-bit AVC codec. I've seen two schools of thought which state either that 10-bit is only necessary for professional broadcast and all web stuff or projects for individual clients should be done with 8-bit, or that 8-bit is worthless and everyone needs to start shooting 10-bit at minimum for everything. Do you have any thoughts on this? I don't necessarily have a budget as much as I'm wanting whatever is going to be the best value and investment (and by investment I don't mean retain monetary value as much as serving me best for the longest amount of time without needing to upgrade).
Gerald, I have to challenge you on your dynamic range opinions. I've had a comparison between the Blackmagic Pocket 6k vs Arri Alexa, and the Pocket 6k won by a mile. At least 2 more stops in highlight latitude. If you're not getting the same results, then you're settings must be wrong. I'd be willing to test this any time if you doubt it
Thank you for the full and comprehensive review of the camera! What is your favorite consumer camera under $5k I've been considering an external recorder.
Hey guys, a amateur question for u. What do you recommend for camera and lens to shot photos on a dark environment, like night clubs and festivals, btw nice video!
As far as I understand I don't really need CF express cards, so long as I already have SD cards (e.g. SanDisk Extreme Pro 300 MB/s) - is this correct? also the new c500 only has the SD card slot for "proxies" whatever that's supposed to mean; am I missing something here? thanks
The SD card slots on these cameras are for utility purposes. Loading LUTs, saving settings, and yes, writing smaller proxy files for easier editing. To record the proper footage you need CFExpress cards.
@@geraldundone Thank you for demystifying this! as you say in the video, the C300 is a better choice regardless; I was just hoping to cover my useless purchase of the Sandisk Extreme PRO SD @300 MB/s as I misread Mbs for MBs in the data rates for the Canon EOS R :)
Your the best at what you do from what I've seen. Thank You! I'm not even in the market for a camera this expensive, but I watched it all anyways. I have a fun idea for you that I'd love to see. Film a video on the original bmpcc and don't tell anyone until the end and see if anyone could tell the difference. I admit to my bias as I'm kitting up my OG BMPCC now to do some video content. I don't believe anyone would notice the difference between really high quality 1080p and really high quality 4k without pixel peeping. Either way, have an awesome day
Hi there! Awesome review, such great technical info as always!!! A couple questions about when you say, "shooting with the default CLog2 profile, you can use Canon's official LUT, you can convert to 709 and get terrific color and tonality in just one step" and "there's no benefit to overexposing on this camera...likely because of the Dual Gain Output...I prefer this method...it means a 709 LUT will always be spot on." First question - with CLog2, are considering 18% grey at Canon's recommended 39.8% IRE for CLog 2 to be "correct" exposure to make the LUT be "spot on?" And second question: do you think that this is also true for shooting at high frame rates (like 120) without the DGO, or would you advocate overexposing HFR video by one stop with this camera? THANKS!!!
I want to see Gerald and Phillip Bloom fight it out in the Octagon! Pretty tough choice between this and the FX-9. Not that I'm complaining! So glad to be living in a time where both of those cameras exist. (Maybe the only good think about 2020? :/ ) I think a huge consideration to make is ergonomics. Do you like the handheld approach or the shoulder/ENG handling? I think a lot of operators prefer the ENG ergonomics that the FX9 affords you. Am I wrong? Great review as always, Gerald!
Hi I'm Gerald Undone. My Clothes are on but they just get Undone.

7:20 - To correct you :
You may notice that your signal on your waveform can go beyond 100, or below 0 (there is some room above and below).
So, the thing is that the wafeform is using an IRE scaling ( -6% to 109% IRE, where 0% to 100% IRE correspond to limited range) while the zebra is using full scale signal (0 to 1023 in 10 bits)
That means that 0% on the waveform corresponds to 0% IRE = 64 (on a 10 bits scale)
And 100% on the waveform corresponds to 100% IRE = 940 (10 bits)
(And just to be clear : -6% IRE = 0, and 109% = 1023)
With a quick formula, you find that 92% IRE is equal to roughly 872 in term of 10 bits value
While 86% (full scale) is equal to ~880
The small gap between the 2 value comes from your percentage reading on the waveform !

Thank you Gerald for an amazing overview of the camera. Very deep and detailed, as always. One question, did I get it right that the camera can’t record in 12bit raw at 50/60 fps?
Correct. Cinema Raw Light is 10 bit only when above 30fps. That goes for the C500 II as well
I don't plan to buy anything of this caliber, but I learn quite a lot from your videos, so thanks!
Gerald you just Undone C300 Mk3! Excellent test review.
It doesn’t make sense that you only have 150k subs.. but then again you’re probably too technical, articulate and intelligent for most people to comprehend the complexity of your videos. 🤦🏽♂️
Great review! Informative and thorough.
Canon's back to back performance on C500 and C300 is making me extremely hopeful for the July 9 announcement.
Hmmm. But I like full frame FOVs
But having used my Ursa for 2 years, autofocus on a cine camera is insanely appealing now :/
URSA is Super 35
Yes but I have a lens mount replacement speedbooster which gives me FF FOV
Another insanely detailed overview. Thanks, man!
Hopefully the Canon C100 III is next or something similar. That, and a R6 I can see as a dream combo for me.
Love your organization. I'm only watching to support because I've decided on upgrading from my Osmo Pocket & Canon 7D to the GH5 or the X-T4 (I really want the silver and black X-T4 with a sub 24mm lens and a 50mm lens).

Wow nice detail review! I would like to see a C200 review like that!
Your the best at what you do from what I've seen. Thank You!
I'm not even in the market for a camera this expensive, but I watched it all anyways. I have a fun idea for you that I'd love to see. Film a video on the original bmpcc and don't tell anyone until the end and see if anyone could tell the difference.
I admit to my bias as I'm kitting up my OG BMPCC now to do some video content. I don't believe anyone would notice the difference between really high quality 1080p and really high quality 4k without pixel peeping.
Either way, have an awesome day
I guess I mean film the A cam talking head stuff with it because you usually use a pocket 6k or 4k if I'm not mistaken.
Hi there! Awesome review, such great technical info as always!!! A couple questions about when you say, "shooting with the default CLog2 profile, you can use Canon's official LUT, you can convert to 709 and get terrific color and tonality in just one step" and "there's no benefit to overexposing on this camera...likely because of the Dual Gain Output...I prefer this method...it means a 709 LUT will always be spot on." First question - with CLog2, are considering 18% grey at Canon's recommended 39.8% IRE for CLog 2 to be "correct" exposure to make the LUT be "spot on?" And second question: do you think that this is also true for shooting at high frame rates (like 120) without the DGO, or would you advocate overexposing HFR video by one stop with this camera? THANKS!!!
I want to see Gerald and Phillip Bloom fight it out in the Octagon! Pretty tough choice between this and the FX-9. Not that I'm complaining! So glad to be living in a time where both of those cameras exist. (Maybe the only good think about 2020? :/ ) I think a huge consideration to make is ergonomics. Do you like the handheld approach or the shoulder/ENG handling? I think a lot of operators prefer the ENG ergonomics that the FX9 affords you. Am I wrong? Great review as always, Gerald!
