Canon EOS C300 = Awesome

In early Fall 2011, I shot some footage with a pre-production model of the Canon EOS C300 for one week in NYC. I created an article and a video for Canon based on my experiences with the camera. The video is meant to poke fun at most camera test videos I’ve seen over the years. Canon, not thrilled with my sense of humor, does not credit or condone this video, but I think it shows a lot of the camera’s strengths. You can read my full article about the EOS C300 here: learn.usa.canon.com/resources/articles/2011/c300_for_cinematographers.shtml I believe that Canon made a beautiful camera that is sensible, reliable and portable in a way that I’ve always dreamed a camera could be. It prioritizes great skin tone and has higher ISO sensitivity than any other camera out there. I know there’s nothing I can say to change the minds of the RED fan club. For the rest of the skeptics, I think once you get your hands on it you’ll understand how great this camera really is. Please buy this camera in January and go film some good skin tones in the dark. You’ll love it. Thanks go out to all my friends for helping me with this. ***UPDATE: Jonathan Yi will be live on planet5D discussing the Canon EOS C300 Monday Dec 5th at 4pm Eastern (9pm GMT) – and there’s a chat room so you’ll get to ask questions! planet5d.com/live Cast: Jonathan Yi , Corwin Carroll , Yousheng Tang , Paul Yee , Ben Kim , James P.
