Got bored by Canon's own launch video so came here for the no-nonsense, facts and user review. Was not disappointed. EDIT: I also pre-ordered based on this in-depth review.
@@theyoungsphoto definitely going to get one, you know I can’t pass up a good Canon release 😂 joking aside though, the c400 looks like on paper the perfect do it all camera for me
I still prefer the FX9 (Variable ND, true xlr ports, shoulder ready, evf, great image quality...). And with the tiny FX3 as your b cam (for gimbal shots, tiny spaces, interviews, when you want to be discreet), you are good to go. But yes this camera looks amazing too, I understand why you are saying that (especially for the 24-105 2.8)
@@Yupthereitismcurious why you think fx6 is better this has better resolution for stabilizing , better recording formats, and canon colors nicer. The lenses have always been legendary
It’s good having full disclosure about videos like this. Sadly sounds like Insta360 just recently got busted paying for reviews but asking for creators to not make those disclosures.
This is a real workhorse of a camera. You can’t ask for much more at that price. The rf 24-105 f2.8 on this will be such a nice package. Great job Jake and co, your productions are so on point and genuine, ‘camera reviewers’ - take note!
this has become the best channel for camera reviews, feels objective, factual and technical, but with the right mixture of different shooting scenarios (although I would love to see more fiction/commercial shoots).
Gotta love the competition! FX6 setting Canon on their backfoot forcing them to come back with this incredible price-performance package. And with that new 24-105 it's a killer doc combo. Well done. The only thing I would love to see is a proper EVF. And an awesome video as always, guys, cheers!
I am shooting canon eos cinema cameras since 2018 starting with the c200, now C300mk3 and c70 as b cam. I was anticipating and craving a new flagship canon cinema camera, but tbh for me I don't have a need in buying the C400 unfortunately. Especially the lack of DGO and dynamic rage compared to the C300mk3. I really, really hope that Canon comes out with a C700mk2 esque, 20-25k€ Burano/V-Raptor Competitor, as im craving (even) better image quality. I know, im being pretty picky here, but I feel a little bummed frankly. Nonetheless it seems to be an awesome camera especially for that price point, but not worth the upgrade if you own c300mk3 and c70 (with speed booster) for me at least. Thank you for that superb review! Cheers!
@@rossdanielart It's an RF mount cine camera in a cube body that comes with all the accessories for a reasonable price. Like yeah I too would like it to bring more cutting edge stuff like global shutter, internal 32 bit flot audio, etc etc, but then it would be 15k, I'm sure that camera is also coming btw. For someone like me that is shooting on R5C but wants to move to cine-style bodies and keep the R5C as B-Cam, this is basically perfect and at a price point I can actually consider. Whereas a 15/20k body is just out of the question for me and then I would've probably gotten a Pyxis or something instead. I didn't want to invest in 4/5 year old cameras as my new main cam, there were no options with RF besides the C70 for me and I was feeling meh about that camera, whereas I really want this one bad.
I've loved Canon for years, switched to Sony in 2023 but could've stayed with Canon if the C400 was available. If RF glass becomes available from more manufacturers I may come back to Canon. Love love all of your videos CVP. I've been in video almost 20 years and learn about 10 things every time I visit this channel. Thank you!
Yes Canon! This seems like a really great option and for a reasonable price. Would be interested in renting one for bigger projects to go along with my C70
If you consider adding the handgrip and a V-mount battery to the Burano, the C400 is near a quarter of its price. I honestly think this camera is a Burano killer. Sony would have to drastically reduce the price of the Burano and/or add some features to it, like to include the handle without extra cost, add internal X-OCN S, maybe even sell it with a G-Master lens included in the price of the body.
I love the fact that you can have a LUT on the monitor but still measure exposure in RAW and hate that you can’t do that on a Sony. Finally Canon are competing with Sony and here’s hoping they make inroads into Sony domination - I would switch so fast back to Canon if they started becoming more widely used.
Seems on par with the FX6, not way better, just slightly better with internal raw, triple base iso and open gate. FX6’s eND and rolling shutter performance is still superior.
@@JojoJoget rolling shutter is good enough. If for you raw internally is not a big deal... It is... 6k, and open gate, are also very big deal for real work, opening anamorphic behind 1.33 wich is not very great
Thank goodness for making another C400 launch video 🙌🏼 much more in depth and straight to the point to be honest. Also, Canon forgot to mention about internal NDs, fortunately they are still included 😅
Almost there. I think (at least for me) folks want better dynamic range, and anamoprhic height of a sensor. It would have been great if it was full frame (24x36mm) DGO, even at 4k, with much better DR. Decent price, but I won't be upgrading.
I want Canon to make a new C500 mark 3… guess ill stay with my 2x C70 my R5C and my R3 camera a little bit longer 😆 Love the DGO sensor.. just wish it was full frame
Is it just me or have cameras been in pretty much the exact same place for 10 years? If I showed you FS7 footage beside this C400 you couldn't tell the difference.
I hope someday to work with Canon. I really feel like they are closest thing to Apple in the camera space. Although I am an Android and Windows user but I still am impressed by what Apple can make😊
If sony had just included in body compressed raw the c400 wouldn't be any worry. But the fact that i need to strap multiple things on to my FX9 and turn it into a tank to get raw is really making me look at the c400.
I have two BMPC6K pros for interviews and a Lumix S5Mk2 for gimbal work. But for run and gun I always grab my old trusty C200. It just works, the pictures look great and I love the ergonomics. Please can you compare with the Black Magic G2 and 12K. Great video, thanks.
Canon claims 16 stops of dynamic range for the camera despite it appearing to have less latitude than the C300(In the highlights and shadows). Looks to have about 8-9 usable stops with all the noise at -4 stops.
how do you come to the conclusion that this are 8-9usable stops? To me it looks like +-3 are clean stops and -4 "pretty noisy"at lower base, okayish noisy at higher base, +4 skin alredy clipped. So i conclude at least 6 clean stops, and 7stops at higher base, less than 8 without loosing detail or am i missing something here.
@@juliusherth White skin isn't exposed at middle gray, but at about one stop over. So the +4 stops is actually +5 stops on skin. It looks about 1/2 stop over exposed on the skin, so give the camera 4.5 stops in the highlights. The amount of acceptable noise in shadows is subjective and the test isn't granular enough(1 stop jumps are pretty large) to say what the cut off of acceptable noise is... Maybe 3 stops maybe 3- 2/3 stops. Who knows.
Why did they make one CF Express memory card slot, can we say forget about the copy? 4K 120p only for the S35 is strange for me too, so a lot of questions to the manufacturer?
Can you compare it to the Komdo X. I'm looking for a great B camera without breaking the bank. I've considered being cheap and going black magic. I also miss Full Frame so this is very enticing.
Fair play to ye for this video. I'm a bit more interested in it now after struggling through Canon's boring as hell presentation. Would've loved to see that they used the DGO sensor, but maybe that had to be the trade off for the triple base iso? And I'm a bit disappointed to hear that the autofocus improvement isn't as big as I'd hoped for. Still, thanks for your thorough breakdown which actually answers the questions we all have.
To be honest cameras at this level, don’t really matter to people who aren’t making documentaries or feature films TV shows stuff like that but it’s all interesting
Excellent video! Very informative and some good points here. Currently a R5C & R5. Looks like a brilliant upgrade, can’t quite justify the cost of upgrading just yet as I’m pretty happy with my current setup.
It'd be really interesting seeing how it stacks up to the Komodo instead of the Raptor. Give how much more I/O and accessories you get with the C400 over the price points aren't that far apart
Did you happen to note which battery the C400 uses for remembering date/time and settings? NOT the main battery for running the camera, but rather small battery which allows the camera to remember date and time and setting. For example, the C300 mark II uses a CR2025 battery.
I recently shot a documentary project with the C70 and R5c and learnt the hard way that their digital stabilization doesn't use the gyro data and instead uses some form of vector based scene analysis for stabilization. That's the stupidest, most annoying thing about all canon Cinema line cameras. Looks like the C400 is not any different.
Hi CVP, good introduction!Seems like no proxy or sub recording on SD card in s&f mode. My old R6 can do that! Also no face autofocus in that mode, very disappointing! I will not hope for any firmware update ;)
