Mostly, my first impressions haven't changed.this is a very new camera in terms of the tools it offers and in terms of the way in handles color.Īlthough I haven't taken advantage of it much yet, having the ability to utilize the full range of the sensor in CLog2 has very little downside. Since then I've used the camera on a number of smaller shoots. (To say the skintones were Alexa-like, well having never shot with one, I'm unqualified.but they look a lot like what I think Alexa skintones look like.) The highlights didn't seem to be on the edge of oversaturation. They were more delicate and colorful.The color seemed much less baked in to me. I can tell you the skintones were simply a different animal than anything I'd ever seen with the C300. 2 Area48 LED through a 4x4 with Lee 250 diffusion. I lit the scene with the same tools I often use. My first shoot with the Mark II featured a motley crew of children, singing a holiday song. I kept hearing that shooting with an Alexa made it so much easier to get nice skintones in situations like this, and I knew that I wanted a camera that could do that.(although I certainly wouldn't be getting an Alexa.) Skintones were largely good, as long as you didn't overexpose them, but with Canon Log's shadow weighted curve, tendency to saturate on the highlight end, and 8 bit color depth, it often took more lighting than I'd prefer (or frankly, preferred to carry), to keep those skintones in the zone they needed to be in to look great every time. Occasionally the colors didn't really seem as pure as I'd like. Often it was a struggle shooting daylit interiors. Over the years of using the C300, I too was quite happy with it. Having come from the land of the XL1/XL2/XLH1 followed by the 5d mark II, the C300 attracted me first at Canon's Paramount Launch -seeing footage shot to a CF card projected beautifully on a 90 foot screen was eye opening for me and I plunked my money down on that camera right away. I really haven't had time to do A/B testing with the C300 and the Mark II, but I'll give you this. I'd be really interested in general feedback as to whether the image quality and other improvements have been worthwhile.
