Its the best camera for the price! especially in the saturated camera market of now days.

@@AfricanFilmmaker I'm about to get my c100 from Facebook Marketplace today. I found your video while looking for reviews. Thanks. I subscribed also ✊🏽

@@TheTillmanSneakerReview Thanks brother, go make magic with it!

Thank you so much! and yes your right you need to tell your self how good the tool is other wise you will be depressed. 😄 at the end of the day you need to be honest with yourself and Everyday new camera comes out so its good to make things happens with what is in your hands.

hard to let this camera go!🤛🏾

You wont regret brother, Once you have it on your hand don't put it down until your master it, The more you play with the camera the better you become!

@@AfricanFilmmaker The camera should arrive by the first of next week. Thanks for the inspiration!

Which camera do you own now if you don’t mind sharing?

🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯

Thanks a lot! 🙏🏾 I have bee researching a lot the C70 and slowly I'm falling in love with it even though I didn't touched it yet, Also it has 12 bit with new firm update and I kind love the body size, what you think between the two?

@@AfricanFilmmaker The C70 is an excellent choice and you can record internally 4k to the SD cards. The eye track autofocus is 2nd to none and Canon is still sending firmware updates. Now you will need an adapter for the mini xlr mic ports. Hardly a negative point with so many positives. It’s way better than the C200 and has an RF mount. You can adapt your EF & EF-S lenses onto it. Sigma is possibly going to announce RF mount lenses soon for Canon. With your talent, the C70 will pay for itself on your first shoot. I currently have a C100 MKII and dream of the C200 or C70. I use my 90d for some of the small videoing I do.

@@lb7144 Waw thanks man, you made it very clear definitely the C70 is the best camera anyone can dream about at this moment, especially if your a Dp work in big project and you want the camera for your own projects or a regular shooter it serve the both parts, Thanks for your insight. 🙏🏾

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-p1viP7oIVX0.htmlsi=DGyEZXof7CeDL94S Hello, I have the Rokinon 85mm & 25mm and they are excellent budget cinema lenses. I see your Signa 18-35mm and that lens is nice. I have that one also. English is my first language and you speak it almost better than me 😂😂😂. I can really ramble on in my vids.

its an amazing camera you gonna love it, especially now the price is super cheap!

Thanks for the notes! 🙏🏾

Glad you liked the video!🙏🏾the C300 mark iii I find more complete than the C300 mark ii, the difference being the $$ but if its me I will rather just go for the mark iii.

@@AfricanFilmmaker No doubt.

What of c300 mark 1?😭😔

@@lonersparty 😁don't feel bad there is no bad camera but to answer your question the 300 mark i is almost the some as c100 mk2, there is no much difference.

Thanks for watching and gland my video helped, if you can just save up a bit and get the canon c70.

Waw this sound very interesting, I even though I have a problem with the Micro 4 third sensors but it worth checking, the spec are amazing!! Thanks for the tip!

@@AfricanFilmmaker I like the size of lenses being smaller than typical cinema cameras along with the bodies. It literally exceeds specs of all Netflix approved cameras and I can pack two of them with lenses in one backpack. Very good for documentary travel.

@@GarryMYG But how is the power supply do you have something like V lock battery or?

@@AfricanFilmmaker good question I use a usb power bank to get about 5 hours but on battery alone I would get around 2hrs.

@@mygconsultingyou Waw! Please share the link of the power bank when you can! I would love to check it out!

I agree with you!

Yaah! One of the most important thing I wish the C100 M2, Could have was the 10bit. As you mentioned earlier the footage are small and easy to grade, But the downside is 10 bit for music videos or commercials is not enough! if I may ask what do you shoot most with the GH5?.

@@AfricanFilmmaker It’s a lot of corporate stuff. I work in Silicon Valley so a lot of customer testimonials, product demos, live events etc. I’m usually called in at my company when there’s no money and usually no time. Then I use the equipment I have on hand which is a little dated (2x GH4, 2x C100 II, the GH5s and 2x Sony A6400). For most corporate interviews and testimonial shoots you need 2 cameras (wide and tight) and it’s easier if they’re identical but expensive when you have to buy new gear. If there’s budget I usually get to work with a production house who bring their own gear and I get to be the producer.

@@MartinTaylor415 Amazing! looks like a lot of work, its true that if the job don't pay that much why bother bring all the expensive stuff,Although most people will note care about that especially if they own a Red and they will use it even if the client didn't ask for it.corporate videos sound simple but I find them very time consuming and demanding when clients ask for million changes,😁

Thanks brother 🙏🏾

I heard about it! But didn’t take it seriously! Thanks so much I will take a look on that! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

yaah its true, I bought the camera before upgrading the computer, I had a macbook pro 13'' 2012 almost exploded with premier pro.

Awesome, thank you!🙏🏾

You won't regret!

This sound great but my love for Sony is very small despite it image qualities the Menu's are very crazy, also grading the images personally took me a lot of efforts.But I will try to research on it, but what you think about the Sony FS6?

Hi - understood! The FX6 is an all round excellent camera. You can stick to an FX3 if you want a cheaper smaller package for the almost the same image, obviously the FX6 has more functionality. It’s also has a simpler quick menu in addition to the complicated SONY standard menu. Obviously there is a world of choice, but the FX6 and 3 are simply brilliant cameras all round at the moment, but only you will know if it’s what you need…

Hey @gazza8808 Thanks for your kind worlds!, I always use Wide DR because it has more details compare to the rest, for this camera Wide Dr is the highest picture profile with more details even though it will need you to spend some time in color grading, my process is very simple. for youtube videos I always use the Luts inside adobe premier pro I just scroll and find one that match skin tones and overall lighting, most of the time I find SL CLEAN CODAK B is perfect, after that I do some small adjustments.With my movie I color graded in davinci resolve, I normally do the color space transformation first and do the minor twist like contrast and saturation since the camera is only 8bit I try to be cautious not to stretch the image too much.I hop this was helpful and let me know if you have another question thanks.

@@AfricanFilmmaker may I ask what settings you use for your colour space transformation? Also, where do you shoot your skin tones for WDR? I set the zebras to 70 when shooting owlcolor. Have a fantastic day!

Thank you in advance

Well with colour space transform first you need to set your timeline in colour management,COLOUR SCIENCE-Davinci YRGD,TIMELINE COLOURSPACE -Rec 709 gamma 2.4 if your content going online or tv, if is for cinema then its P3 DC, again this camera is only 8bit so I just want to bring the Rec 709 to life nothing fancy, then after that I do the color space transform IMPUT COROUR RSPACE-Canon cinema gamut,INPUT GAMA-Canon log, OUTPUT COLOUR SPACE-Canon cinema gamut,OUTPUT GAMA-Use timeline. and from here I do small twitching and adjustments. I never use Zebra I find it not accurate sometimes I always us Wave form, with wave form always don't Under expose it bellow 0 or Over expose above 90 or 100 I always try to keep it in the middle, from here you can have a well balanced image. I hop I answered your question!

@@AfricanFilmmaker brilliant. Thank you. My current process is using owlcolor picture profile (which aims for an arri colour space) and converting it to arri log using colour space transform. then from there to rec709. It actually looks great but as you say, with it being 8 bit, it gets pushed and can break with anything additional. I’ll give yours a try. All the best!!

Yaah Man! its very annoying when gears stand on your creative way! That why some people will just prefer a Ursa mini despite of size but its compact when rigged.

Working on distribution will update here once its out!

Lakini ni vyema ukaanza na kidogo ulicho nacho kuliko kusubiri kujiunga na crew, akianza mambo mengine yatakukuta njiani.au unasemaje?

@@AfricanFilmmaker ni kweli bro ndio kwanza nina canon 40d na kit lens😀 bad enough it only take photos ila anyway napambana nilichonacho niweze kuendeleza ujuzi mdogo mdogo💪🏿

haha usijali sisi wote tume anzia huko, tumia hata simu pia!

Working on Distribution as we speak I will post here as soon as it get distributed!

Thanks I will work on it!
