I think the Canon C200 is a truly amazing camera, but it's also incredibly frustrating. This video will hopefully explain why I feel that way. We'll go over design, ergonomics and build, image quality, and more. I hope you enjoy, thanks for watching.

C200 is what I have at my day job making social content for government. Use it every week. It's a beast, despite its flaws, and I've seldom wished I had anything different on hand. Great breakdown!
I love this camera. I bought it used in 2022 and shot a feature doc that was nationally distributed by PBS (television and Amazon). Shot the whole thing in 8-bit. I agree that it has to be the best 8-bit of all time.
Awesome!

@@bmefilms6879 it was just released on Amazon Prime under the PBS Documentaries channel. It’s called ROAR: The Story of the Southern Columbia Football Tigers. You can see the trailer on my youtube channel under “trailers.”
@@bmefilms6879 sorry I thought I responded to you but I guess it didn’t post. The film is called ROAR: The Story of the Southern Columbia Football Tigers. It’s on the PBS Documentaries channel of Amazon Prime. You can see the trailer for it on my youtube channel under the “trailers” playlist. Thanks
@@bmefilms6879 not sure why my response keeps getting deleted. The film is called ROAR: The Story of the Southern Columbia Football Tigers.
Young sir! Excellent post! I've been at the top of a mountain yelling this to folks for the past 2 years.!! A C-200 is the sweet spot of High end cinematic capabilities and pratical low maintenance social media production. Keep up the great work! PEACE!!
Very good scripting. I appreciate your search for perspective. Thanks for an insightful video.
👍🏾👍🏾 *_Pure Genius, you are!_* I'm really considering adding this to my kit! Thanks, Jake, Bro.
The video is great. I hope you make a video sharing how to adjust 8-bit color parameters on Canon c200
I bought/sold this camera 5 times over the years. Something special about it. You shoot your talking heads in the 8 bit? Or raw?
Man, I laughed so hard after your jumping on the table intro.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
I subbed to your channel immediately!
I agree with ALL of this! Such a beast for the LOW price you can find them for. My biggest hang up used to be the MASSIVE file sizes when shooting RAW, but with media storage being so cheap these days, this is an AMAZING choice for anyone wanting to break into the world of cinema cameras!
Great video and a wonderfully pleasant and informative tone. Maybe the c300ii is a better bet. A great camera. Just a thought. Think how many doc oscars and netflix series that camera has nailed. Cant be wrong. Thx for the great contribution and for highlighting a second hand camera.
Validating my choice to purchase 2 Canon C200's in the past month, virtually replacing my C300 Mii and C100 Mii. Easy to find EC copies. Like new, really. And the Mac M2 chips handle the RAW files with ease. It was a camera ahead of its time in file size and price. Now at $1500-2000, with more powerful computers, it's a steal. Been following your journey to this camera. Thanks for your honesty and for having a little fun along the way.
C70 would be an easy upgrade for me.
Great stuff as always. I found the FS7 Mark II checked all my boxes. Easy codecs, great value and auto focus really not that bad considering.
c200 got a good working autofocus you can use while filming. for everything else, FS7 is way better. canon was so spoiled about their C300 / C100 sells, so they crippled the cam. if canon added a 10bit internal recording, the C200 would be the one-trick-pony everyone was still using until this day, but canon wanted it not so close to the C300. so they fucked it up and everyone went to Sony / Blackmagic / fuji
@@noBfilm Really good points. The dance they had to do between cameras was a joke.
The all 3 cameras is very similar canon c100 mark II is a beast they have to lack the 4k recording and 10 bit codec, otherwise no one would buy c200 or c300mk2
I did a standard picture profile test on my channel of the FS7 paired with Canon FD SSC glass. I shoot a lot of talking head corporate work and my cam op also has the FS7. It’s just easy to shoot two cam setup, use very little storage and get really soft skin tones and character from the FD glass.
I love the C200 I have two of them. Works great for documentary and talking head videos. RAW isn't that big of an issue anymore with cheaper storage and higher processing of most computers.
FS7 is the way to go - shooting internal 10bit Slog 3 you get beautiful colors out of it. only downside is the missing autofocus (if you need it)
are u using this macbook air to edit and grade all ur stuff?
You can shoot 10bit on the C200. You just have to shoot 60p in RAW. Still massive file size though...lol
I've had the C200 for four years now. Works perfectly for my jobs - there is no reason to switch it. At first I was shocked of how much noise there was but you just have to over expose a bit and it's not a problem. The C200 has the most pleasing image of all the cameras I've used. Much better than RED for example.
It's cheap, reliable and the image is just reeeeally good. Soft, filmlike and full of emotion. :DD
I always wonder if this can Output ProRess to a ninja V?
what about the C70? and with a atomos ninja V + SDI port?
can only wish to have that camera, or any cine camera for that matter
7:49 dude I just wanna know what mic stand you're using, that shits FIRE!! Althought idk if it could hold my sm7b
yo late but thats at2020 im pretty sure
@@bondo532 Oh I meant the stand, not the microphone! Sorry 😅
The Sony FS5 is an interesting alternative to this camera if you cared about having a codec in between 8 bit and 12 bit with reasonable file sizes. The only downside is that the internal 10 bit is only HD.
yea, that makes the FS5 useless - because it produces ugly skin tones. same like the FS7 in 8bit - but with the FS7 you can record 10bit Slog3 and get nice colors in post. would not recommend a FS5 today
Have you tried the Ursa 4.6K Pro G1? I just got it for 1K$
why did you swap the mke600 with at2020?
I was thinking about these, gone freelance and While I love my xt4 for weddings it isnt ideal. Though myfundsarelow. So trying to Min max my budget this popped into mind and as fate would have it you bought one. Though for the price of all the cameras I see my head keeps turning back to the XH2s.... Choices choices. Urg
I'm struggling with the C100 Mkii's LOG, falls apart with Color space transform in DR... why :(
Is it the color or the contrast that are broken?
When I apply a CST, it looks really bad, over saturated, highlights blown out, noisy, blocky... I try to work in DR Wide gamut and export to REC709 in the end, but what I see from others with CST is not happening with my footage. Maybe the C100's bitrate/quality is too low?
Look into OwlBot’s LUT for the C100 mk ii, it’s a much better choice
Don't even bother, Switch to Wide DR and just get the white balance right. You don't have to colour tweak at all! The 1080p out of that camera is probably the best of all time.
Don't bother with 8 bit footage pushing the grade.
@@getfmlr I might try that the next time, thanks!
Don't understand you going from FX3 to this. I'd go for FX30 if I need to save money. Using C200 also locks you into EF lenses without being able to take advantage of adapters or speedboosters.
Also interested about this. I’m kind of bored of my FX3 and thinking of switching to something that produces some nice colour right out of the gate. FX3 just doesn’t challenge me like other cameras have in the past in a way…but to downgrade this much from it, I think I’d regret it.
@@TheDogbrainShow You can still shoot external RAW with Sony. Or go with Blackmagic if you don't need AF.
He said he wanted something with SDI and hdmi to fit into more workflows, FX3 doesn’t do SDI
Why would you need a speedbooster?
You say that but have you a actually shot with a Canon cinema camera? Oh boy. Despite people's complaints, you can't beat the colours, internal nds, cooling fans, Built in XLR, physical buttons...etc etc. He mentioned all this in the video.
The c100 mk2 is magic to this day!
C70 used would be a little better if you had FX3 money but the C200 is an amazing deal!
Let's start a fight: used C200 vs FX30 new. Besides SDI and LAN, where else does C200 win?
I struggle with that
I think your face is beautiful
You're late to the game and of course you are making a 2024 video on C200 but all this has been dicussed and answered in the c200 facebook groups. On the topic of 10bit, initially Canon didnt give us 10 bit because they wanted to protect sales of the c300s and above. At the time it made sense but many many years later it didnt. Many models had come and gone but Canon refused to give us that 10 bit update for c200. Even this month they released an update for the c500 mk2 giving it features that at the time many said was protecting the c70. So yeah, Canon life.
Lol
