 Hey guys, Brandon here and we're checking out the huge Canon booth here at NAB 2015. Linus Tech Tips coverage of NAB 2015 is powered by Sennheiser, Kingston SD cards, and linda.com. As I'm sure many of you know, Canon started the DSLR revolution when it came to video with the 5D Mark II. That camera became the standard for low-cost cinematic video. Naturally, that simple video feature made its way to other Canon DSLRs over the years, until Canon finally thought the natural step forward was to release these bad boys. Their cinema line of cameras, the C100, C300, and C500. And this is the newly announced C300 Mark II in all of its glory. Now to give you some context, Canon started shipping the original C300 in January of 2012, so this new version has been long overdue and lusted after. Many camera owner-operators have been expecting huge improvements and I think for the most part Canon has delivered on a lot of what people have asked for. The Mark II supports 4K video internally, recording to CFast 2.0 cards, and it now also has the ability to shoot at 120fps in both 2K and HD. While my experience operating the original C300 is limited to a handful of times, this camera definitely has the little improvements in all the right places. One of the biggest changes on the Mark II is the brand new Super 35mm sensor capable of up to 15 stops of dynamic range. There have been a bunch of physical changes to the Mark II as well, with some extra custom functions all over the body, a new OLED EVF with an impressive 1024x576 resolution with a 5000 to 1 contrast ratio. The Mark II also now has neutral density filters that cut up to 10 stops of light. For those unsure of what a neutral density filter is, think of it as sunglasses for your camera when it is too bright outside. The other interesting feature of Canon's recent cameras is the inclusion of their dual pixel autofocus. Playing around with it on the show floor, I was surprisingly impressed with how natural the rack focus looked. I can see this being a very handy feature when you need to pull focus without an assistant like we generally do with our videos. Now onto the biggest thing that people are talking about for this camera, the price. It costs $15,999 for the full setup, a hefty price point compared to other companies offerings for a similarly specced camera. To me what you pay for when buying a Canon Cinema Camera is a camera that is ready to shoot out of the box and has a native EF lens mount. Canon has built themselves quite a reputation for quality glass. There are many lens owners including myself that own a wide range of Canon EF glass, and to have a camera that natively supports it is a very big thing. Time will tell how this camera does in the current market, but I do believe Canon has made many of the improvements that people wanted whether they are willing to pay for them remains to be seen.
