Review Summary
2024-12-14T10:40:41
This cinema camera is absolutely incredible. My first professional cinema quality cameras were the FS7 and FS5 M2, and for the last few years I have been shooting on a mix of R5's and the R3. After years away, the box style cinema camera was calling me back, so I began my search. When I heard that canon was releasing this camera and the price point, I knew I had to give it a shot. I am so glad that I did. Making excellent video is certainly possible on mirrorless cameras, and even preferred in certain situations, but these box style cameras bring connectivity and handheld operation to new levels. I love everything about the C400 so far. I have shot commercial talking heads, high fashion, weddings, and narrative content in a mix of controlled and uncontrolled lighting environments. The results are excellent. It also matches with little effort to the R5 and R3 when shot in clog 3. Mini XLR's haven't caused me any headaches as the adapters are very cheap and easily obtainable. The use of USB-C for the monitor and grip is excellent. I love my RF glass paired with the built in ND. If you are in the canon ecosystem, there is simply nothing better. You will appreciate the attention to detail and amazing capabilities of this camera, no matter the situation you may find yourself shooting in. CANON: please open the USB-C monitor out to enable 3rd part monitor control.
