Canon EOS C300 Pro Reviews

All in all, a camera like this is what video shooters have been waiting for. The C300 is ready, it is able. Except for one thing. It costs $16,000! But there are plenty of ultra-high end, unaffordable cameras. Why make a big stink over this one? The reason is that this camera should hit the prosumer market at well under $10,000. Lacking much expertise in matters of manufacturing or component pricing, it's still just hard to believe that this camera has to be so expensive. If Sony can release the newly announced FS700 at under $10,000, able to shoot 240 fps and adapt to 4K recording, why can't Canon? If Canon is smart, within a year, a watered-down version of the C300 will appear. If Canon can lower the price by eliminating the features that many pros don't need—gen-lock, hd-sdi out, etc—and then, yes, you should buy it.
