Thanks so much Carl for taking the time to showcase this new Canon cinema camera. Looks like a real winner on the part of Canon. Again, many thanks. 😊👍
I was going to make that move from Canon to Sony - was contemplating an FX9 plus an A7riii for my new kit. Now with this, and the announcements of the specs of the new Mirrorless EOS R mkii - I'm thinking I should stick with Canon....
Great and informative showcase as always Carl! I agree that the 1080, 4:4:4, 12 bit option should be included despite raw capability. Fingers crossed a firmware update fixes that down the line! 🤞🤞🤞
@@ProAVTV Everything the Canon C300III is able to do internally Sony FX9 will be able to do externally but better. So Canon will forever be the run and gun champion of the world! Comparison done. You're welcome!
@@capitalgeorge Something about that auto ND though which is such a shame it's not in the ergonomics of the Canon. Both excellent cameras but yeah, I think most people would go for the Canon just on size alone, because that ND loses some of it's appeal having to get a bigger gimbal just to make use of it.
You were the only presenter who managed to successfully explain DGO without making it all confusing. Great job, and that is one hell of a camera. Welcome back, Canon.
Canon has upgraded or introduced every possible camera in the Cinema EOS line, except for two: the 1DC (which they killed because of low demand) and the C100, which has been neglected for 6 years and to my knowledge hasn't been killed yet. We've gotten the C200, C300 MK3, C500 MK2 and C700. The C100 is an amazing camera that deserves a MK3. If ever there was a time to upgrade the C100 it would be now. It's long overdue IMO.
Great overview Carl. Thanks. Looks like a good improvement on the Mk2 which in 4k never looked that sharp. Still not convinced about the audio controls though, if you're in full handheld mode using the hand grip you can't use them. Now if they did a package with the EVF and ditched the monitor that would be interesting for us non AF users
Looks like Canon has a winner. Wish it had the weather sealing capabilities of the C300. Keen to see what they have in stock for the replacement of the C200 :)
Of Two Lands I was thinking that same thing. When you are in harsh conditions, the c300 Mark iii and c500 Mark ii will be unusable without a rain cover which is less than ideal. I guess that’s what they made the 1dx iii for though..
@@ProAVTV Yeah for sure me too. Especially with the announcement of the R5 they might bring one camera only to bridge the gap. RF mount, 4K 60, DPAF, 10bit. Simple but great for one man band and docos.
One thing I've been considering is the crop-sensor. I understand why they chose to incorporate the super 35, but I can't help feel as though I'd be missing something. Still, I don't know if that alone would justify leveling up to the C500...
lock down is extreme if you cant even go out and get some fresh air and sun in a park for example....better times will come.........thanks for the great video....I enjoy your channel
@@petero1068 The R5 is not a viable camera for high-end production, regardless of its 8K resolution. Would much rather have the form factor of an actual video camera on set than a franken-rigged mirrorless camera.
Bit disappointed that I just forked out £17000 at ProAV on a C500MKII that seem to be outperformed just after few weeks in terms of slow motion!!!! It seems to me that the C500MKII just has the full frame sensor but everything else the C300MKIII has and even better...
The C300 III does have better slow motion. But the C500 II is still very much the flagship. A better, larger sensor and better low light seems to be the two big things. But we need to get them side by side before knowing all the differences. Carl
I already sent an email to Canon Canada asking about trading my (highly likely to be unused) C500MKII for a C300MKIII... 2020 is really a year to forget.
As a Canon C500 Mark II owner, I feel like I missed out on the 4k 120p. Don't get me wrong, 5.9k and Full Frame is totally worth it but would have been nice to have that option. I'm just going to have to pickup the R5 for those specialty shots and maybe even keep it as a dedicated gimbal camera. Now what to do with my C200...
I truly appreciate your effort in providing us with those reviews even in these difficult times. I must admit that it is a very very interesting camera for broadcast (as it was the original C300). Does Canon have any sort of shoulder mount accessory? And, is there any way to put a professional wireless mic receiver in between the back and the V-lock battery without the need of cables?
Our pleasure. The thanks should go to Canon for managing to get us one in these times! No you would want a baseplate and rig for shouldermounted work. No, theres no broadcast audio drop in slot like on Sony's XDCA for example. That would be a great module for them to add. Carl
A very interesting camera. The Intra frame mode of XF-AVC is a real plus for an efficient video editing workflow. Can you still use external monitors like a SmallHD? Thanks for the review Carl. Greetings from Lisbon
It's weirdly perfect for what I do, how are the pre amps? I self shoot most of the time when using a camera and the other option I had was to attach a Mix Pre 3 somewhere on the camera and use that for the audio. The mark ii was pretty good for audio but is it the same pre amps again or have they made improvements there too?
Does the Canon C300 mark iii allow user loadable luts? Also , can you send video out to larger, external monitor , whilst also using the supplied touch screen monitor ( I’m assuming it’s touch screen now)? Thank you for making this video during this difficult time!
It is so sad these days... I saved up some money for investing in new gear, maybe this one (but to be honest, the new version of the FS5). And now i have to buy food, pay rent, insurance etc. with that money... I hope i will survive :-( ... But thanks for your effort! It feels good, simulating some kind of normality.
Yep same here, was getting loads of freelance work and was planning on investing in new gear, now due to all of this I haven’t got the work coming in and the income so all of that “investment money” is being quickly used up to pay the bills. Hopefully our industry can recover quickly!
EXACTLY what I've been waiting for. Too bad it's hitting during a pandemic so I feel less comfortable dropping the coin on one this second. Otherwise this would be an immediate pre-order.
It is a shame, but this will all hopefully be over at some point soon. Then we can all go back to work as ususal. This camera will be around for a good few years. Carl
5:17 LMAO....5 mins into the video I thought I was watching a review on the C500 Mark II and then couldn't figure out why he said the sensor was super 35 and then I realized "holy shit this is a new camera". I didn't realize Canon announced the C300 update until now.
Very interesting camera! For our needs, this pretty much ticks all the boxes. We're currently shooting with the EVA1, but interested in the Canon cinema lineup. The C200 didn't do it for us, but the C300 mkiii just might!
What would you class as 'reasonably priced' out of interest? Obviously its always great when things cost less. But its already at a lower pricepoint than the C300 line normally sits at, plus its priced lower than Sony's FX9. Carl
There are things that other cameras can't match with Alexa like the ability to limit saturation from exceeding a limit when exposure/gain is increased and the beautiful highlight roll-off. It is in the highlight roll-of the DGO helps for Alexa, not only in increasing the dynamic range.
Well that’s what Canon are aiming to achieve with this technology. They talk a lot about saturation levels in highlights in the info they sent over before release. Will be interesting to see people’s tests Carl
Can the Canon EVF-V50 be used for this camera? So that I can still use my touch screen with all controls but still have an evf is to view in bright daylight situations? Or does it need to use the video port as well?
damn, this means so many good things. the c300 II will probably drop in price so more people can afford a great camera. it also means canon still loves their old series so maybe we might see a c100 III? something like no RAW but beefy codecs with 4k? i can't wait :)
I think it would be nice from canon if they bring an update to the C500 Mark II so it can shoot 120fps in S35 4K. Otherwise C500 M2 people will be a little disappointed...
Many people in the C500MKII Owners Facebook group are pretty livid right now. Just goes to show that you should never jump the gun on a brand new camera, especially when NAB is right around the corner. The camera market these days is very unpredictable and so supersaturated, that some lower end models will inevitably encroach on some of the higher end models' capabilities. Its less about tiers these days, and more about niche capabilities. If you want full frame 6k, go with the C500MKII, but if you don't care as much about FF or 6K and would rather have HFR, go with the C300MKII. And if you need 8K, but no internal NDs, the R5 is perfect for you. Cameras are so close in capabilities these days, that's its more about what you as a creator can do with it, rather than the camera itself, which I think is ultimately a good thing.
Thank god they gave 4k 120fps 2k 180fps.... thank god canon thought about slow motion feature... this is the best camera of canon. Even they gave 4k 120fps in canon eos r5 mirror less camera great to hear that. Canon finally did something for slow motion...
No, their interchangeable mount design doesn't allow enough space for an RF mount option unfortunately. So I doubt it will ever happen. The back of the lens would have to be recessed inside the camera pretty much. Carl
Think it's unfortunate of Canon to release the C300III shortly after launching the C 500 MK II. Higher framerates have become an important feature, which the C 500 is missing. I feel fooled as a buyer of the C 500 II and as a Canon customer (in spite of the full sensor).
Wonder if it will be addressed in a firmware update. Is the extra $5K USD worth the 5.9K sensor? Will the increased dynamic range make for a better image? Guess we'll see in the tests but both cameras without a doubt are more than adequate for 99% + film makers. The 2k 120 crop isn't the end of the world and is still completely useable but the fact you don't have to readjust your shot on the C300MKiii will be incredibly beneficial to doc film shooters, etc...
@@Jimfinites thank you for your reply on the C 500 II. Appreciate your channel, inlc. today's live presentation! I have tried out the 2K 120 fps - it's ok and perhaps good enough for the few time one is using it. Nevertheless the full sensor 6 K is fantastic. As a backup camera I am also using the Black Magic 6 K - for light travelling. The quality in 6 K 25-50 fps and 2.5 K up to 120 fps is amazing for it's price.
Compared to the C500 II ? Possibly, would have to do side by side tests to know for sure. I wouldn't class this as having a small sensor though, super35mm is pretty much industry standard now at this point. Carl
Amazing looking camera. Mouth watering. Fantastico! But... As a predominantly a Sony shoote, I'd be interested in switching systems, in taking the pain and expense of investing in new glass, in the bit and bobs and batteries- ..so as to make use of their exiting, incredible Canon RF glass. I struggle to see why, as they continue roll out their new RF mount and parade the advantages of mirrorless lenses, that these new Cinema cameras don't have a RF mount underneath an EF adapter... The EF system is essentially dead, and as we see with the coming R5, the future is mirrorless. The physics of the lenses is undeniable... Sony has the same mount from the a6000 to Venice, still the only manufacturer to do this- and once you've been adapting any lens under the sun to a mirrorless mount, it's really, really hard to look at the EF mount the same way again, and lay down a sizeable chunk of change for an EF camera. Canon will keep many customers with this camera, but they may not get many new ones.
Canon C200 for $5000 you get canon RAW Lite, With the money you save , you can buy Lenses or Lights . Think about it Music Videos are short you can film in raw.
Still no RF mount. It's like they don't know that EF lenses can be adapted. Strange. The dual gain ISO is clearly the most exciting thing about this camera.
Yeh, no RF mount being built into these cameras is a bit of a mystery isn’t it. DGO is looking fantastic. I’d be careful about calling it ‘dual native iso’ though. Keen to separate it in peoples minds from a dual native ISO. As it’s very different. Carl
RF mount is fly by wire or let's say focus by wire technology which is very unreliable in manual focus till this date, and in these kind of Pro/Semi Full production cameras those lenses are not reliable. Other half is it's still lenses and suffers through Par focal, stepless aperture, inconsistent ring sizes(front diameter, focus ring, zoom and aperture ring). My be one day RF lens might come with those all upgrades, which means Canon doesn't have plan for those in RF lenses. I think this way no offence though.
Yeah not gonna happen until they decide to produce RF cinema glass. With so many other cameras having EF mounts or people adapting to EF cinema glass, I don't see that happening anytime soon!
I believe that what Loud&Clear and Carl are trying to say is that by having an RF mount you still have the possibility of using EF , PL and Locking EF adapteurs. The question is: does an RF mount give you the space to put internal variable NDs when using RF lenses. My bet is that canon will come out with RF mount for the cinema line by January 2021, that will sit either above or below the C500Mkii &C300Mkiii in order to protect these 2 cameras.
That is so not true! C300Mkii seems nice, I have the budget for it, and I need a dedicated video camera with built in ND and XLR imputes , but I am still on the fence because FX9 is no slouch at the same price point, and I have a feeling Black magic might drop a New Ursa Mini Pro anytime soon with internal B-Raw , That will be huge if you ask me, and Panasonic might drop a new cinema line with there new Full frame L-mount, I would Hate to buy a C300Mkii and aa bunch of lenses and then have one of these cameras come out at the end of this year, let alone if canon puts out a C100 with an RF mount. YES C300Mkii looks nice but its not that exiting . I'll tell you what is exiting an XT4 paired with MKX Zoom Lenses, now thats pure FIRE

Guess we'll see in the tests but both cameras without a doubt are more than adequate for 99% + film makers. The 2k 120 crop isn't the end of the world and is still completely useable but the fact you don't have to readjust your shot on the C300MKiii will be incredibly beneficial to doc film shooters, etc...
@@Jimfinites thank you for your reply on the C 500 II. Appreciate your channel, inlc. today's live presentation!
I have tried out the 2K 120 fps - it's ok and perhaps good enough for the few time one is using it. Nevertheless the full sensor 6 K is fantastic. As a backup camera I am also using the Black Magic 6 K - for light travelling. The quality in 6 K 25-50 fps and 2.5 K up to 120 fps is amazing for it's price.
Does the smaller sensor mean worse low light performance?
Compared to the C500 II ? Possibly, would have to do side by side tests to know for sure.
I wouldn't class this as having a small sensor though, super35mm is pretty much industry standard now at this point.

Does it record audio at 4K 120p?
What does the PQ setting do?
Amazing looking camera. Mouth watering. Fantastico! But... As a predominantly a Sony shoote, I'd be interested in switching systems, in taking the pain and expense of investing in new glass, in the bit and bobs and batteries- ..so as to make use of their exiting, incredible Canon RF glass. I struggle to see why, as they continue roll out their new RF mount and parade the advantages of mirrorless lenses, that these new Cinema cameras don't have a RF mount underneath an EF adapter... The EF system is essentially dead, and as we see with the coming R5, the future is mirrorless. The physics of the lenses is undeniable... Sony has the same mount from the a6000 to Venice, still the only manufacturer to do this- and once you've been adapting any lens under the sun to a mirrorless mount, it's really, really hard to look at the EF mount the same way again, and lay down a sizeable chunk of change for an EF camera. Canon will keep many customers with this camera, but they may not get many new ones.
C300mk3 vs fx9 which is better for music videos?
Canon C200 for $5000 you get canon RAW Lite, With the money you save , you can buy Lenses or Lights . Think about it Music Videos are short you can film in raw.
you can even buy it used bro you ll get good deals now
I’d call the C300mk3 essential
Does the Canon C300 Mark 3 have two sd card slots and two cfast card slots
No, just two CFast card slots. Its the same media set up as the C500 II.
There is one SD card as well but it is for proxies.
Carl
Press F for those who just bought the new c500 --__--
The c500 II is still the flagship. Sure it doesn’t have the slow motion. But it does have a beautiful large format sensor. Carl
@@ProAVTV For sure, although I think a lot of people would prefer the slow motion and saving £6.5k!
@@ProAVTV It does have slo-mo, what are you implying? Not the extent of the 300mkll, but 60p plenty slow for most
ProAV TV isn’t the C700 the flagship?
3.45 highlight roll off didn't look great on the leaves.
Does the body have XLR? (Without Extension brick)
Yes, 2 Carl
now sony hv to give us FS7 iii
Thanks for the rundown and sample footage. Didn't look fully credible though with a UK garden just about bathing in clear sunlight :)
The sun only comes out over here when there's a lockdown in place.
I got lucky!
Carl
Him i noticed also on ISO 6400 there was planty of red noice in the black area any one noticed ? Is it going to be fixed after ?
This is a preproduction camera, so probably unfair to judge things like that too closely right now.
Carl
I’m guessing this won’t have the ability to do ProRes RAW anymore ?.. like the Mk 2
Mk 2 did not do ProRes Raw
The Raw is internal now, so theres no Prores raw option i'm afraid. Canon Raw Light can be used in more software now though than Prores raw.
Carl
Great, now when will I get any work to pay for it!
Change the way that you work....some people are flourishing right now. Why can't you?
How exactly are you supposed to go out and shoot in this current climate?
@@MichaelRichards983 Exactly who is "flourishing"?
Still no RF mount. It's like they don't know that EF lenses can be adapted. Strange. The dual gain ISO is clearly the most exciting thing about this camera.
Yeh, no RF mount being built into these cameras is a bit of a mystery isn’t it. DGO is looking fantastic. I’d be careful about calling it ‘dual native iso’ though. Keen to separate it in peoples minds from a dual native ISO. As it’s very different. Carl
RF mount is fly by wire or let's say focus by wire technology which is very unreliable in manual focus till this date, and in these kind of Pro/Semi Full production cameras those lenses are not reliable. Other half is it's still lenses and suffers through Par focal, stepless aperture, inconsistent ring sizes(front diameter, focus ring, zoom and aperture ring). My be one day RF lens might come with those all upgrades, which means Canon doesn't have plan for those in RF lenses. I think this way no offence though.
Yeah not gonna happen until they decide to produce RF cinema glass. With so many other cameras having EF mounts or people adapting to EF cinema glass, I don't see that happening anytime soon!
I believe that what Loud&Clear and Carl are trying to say is that by having an RF mount you still have the possibility of using EF , PL and Locking EF adapteurs. The question is: does an RF mount give you the space to put internal variable NDs when using RF lenses.
My bet is that canon will come out with RF mount for the cinema line by January 2021, that will sit either above or below the C500Mkii &C300Mkiii in order to protect these 2 cameras.
Red Who????
I wish it was full frame 🖼
😍😍😍
cool cat!
RIP Sony, Fujifilm, BMD, Panasonic and Nikon.
That is so not true! C300Mkii seems nice, I have the budget for it, and I need a dedicated video camera with built in ND and XLR imputes , but I am still on the fence because FX9 is no slouch at the same price point, and I have a feeling Black magic might drop a New Ursa Mini Pro anytime soon with internal B-Raw , That will be huge if you ask me, and Panasonic might drop a new cinema line with there new Full frame L-mount, I would Hate to buy a C300Mkii and aa bunch of lenses and then have one of these cameras come out at the end of this year, let alone if canon puts out a C100 with an RF mount. YES C300Mkii looks nice but its not that exiting . I'll tell you what is exiting an XT4 paired with MKX Zoom Lenses, now thats pure FIRE
No DCI 4k 😏
According to Canon, there is: www.canon-europe.com/video-cameras/eos-c300-mark-iii/specifications/
Canon is throwing EVEN the kitchen sink
It’s great to see isn’t it! Carl
i don't know what to critics.
I agree! They got a lot of things right with this camera.
Carl
Да, ясно все... Кому камера, а кому карантин...
Your cat's eyes are terrifying
Nice video but audio is too low
He wasn't clear if the sensor is Full Frame
He said it's s35.
It’s super 35mm. Not full frame. The c500 II is the full frame option from canon. Carl
5:03
Canon is coming out swinging!
Agreed!
