Great feel and balance, I love the different configurations. The picture quality is amazing. viewfinder is useless, but LCD viewfinder is ok. You need a lcd hood to be able to see the screen outside in the sun. The ND filters are awesome, built in. I like the neckstrap for when its not on my ff/mattebox rig, its nice to hold by itself. Sales dept. was awesome, came early.

I shoot video mostly for the web. Previously I used a Canon 5D Mark II. That camera is what made shooting video more exciting for me than traditional video cameras. Of course, it also lacked many key features of traditional 1/3" sensored cameras. The C100 brings back most of those lacking features: XLR inputs, peaking, zebras, and many others. Like others have mentioned, the one downside is the AVCHD codec. There is the possibility of some of my work appearing on broadcast and that codec won't hold up. However, with the addition of the Ninja 2 or similar device, I can turn this camera into a C300 "light." Many have complained about the EVF. I admit it's not great but since I've never used a C300 I don't know what I'm missing. And with the peaking and zebra features, the weak EVF functions pretty well. The video out of the camera looks fantastic. The fact that this sensor is designed for video means you don't have some of the stuttery look that handheld 5D Mark II and III footage can have. It was money well spent.

Using the C100 for shooting video for instructional videos. It is crystal clear compared to the Canon 7D and the 7D is a great camera. It's easy to use and setup. It's really nice not having a mirror flipping up and down everytime you set your camera to the video mode. Just getting started using this thing and so far it is fantastic. Money well spent.

The image is extremely crisp and full of detail. You can pull stills out of it even with the internal codec they look gorgeous. Focus becomes really important. It has so many tools like waveforms, focus peaking, zebras, XLR's so you have an entire system built into the camera. It feels really balanced and that goes a long way when you are shooting for several hours. Then it's great at handling light. Stuck in a dark situation? This camera can pick up faint light easily. Stuck in a bright situation? Built in ND's. Its main downsides are that it shoots 1080 60i, not 1080 60p. Also it lacks higher resolution options. These wouldn't be an issue but considering the price, there should be more options. Overall a great camera that wears many hats and will not disappoint.

I'm primarily a one-man-band shooter, specializing in commercial and corporate production. The C100 strikes a great balance between simple efficiency and quality, for me this is critical. PROS: 1. Sensor is fantastic, nice dynamic range, great look. 2. EF Mount: Works natively with my Canon glass. So nice. No fiddly lens adaptors needed. 2. Form Factor: I love how it feels and shoots. 3. On board audio ! Goodbye dual system. 4. Intuitive CONS: 1. No VFR, no 60P. I really miss this. 2. No intervalometer. I miss this feature from my AF100. 3. The viewfinder is absolutely useless. C'mon Canon, this is a beautiful device in so many ways ... why the silly EVF ? It's plain awful. You'll need to pick up an external EVF to take full advantage of this device. The C100 is a near perfect camera for those of us who operate on tight budgets, short deadlines, and tiny crews. The cons can be forgiven when you factor what you are getting. Nice stuff Canon. Hopefully you see fit to give us 60P in a future firmware update. I'd be very thankful for that.

I have used the C100 on documentary, event, and corporate projects and it has been fantastic in all cases. The form factor, ease and comfort of operation, and just plain awesome controls have helped reignite my passion for filming. Coming from the 5d, it only took me a few minutes to learn the menu options and get a feel for the controls of the C100. The handle feels solid and comfortable to grip. The thumb control is well placed and intuitive. Menus are easy to navigate. The XLR audio is a welcome addition coming from DSLRs. I love the ability to record to both card slots at the same time. This is a big deal when you consider a big job doesn't have to be field recorded to only one sd card. Image quality is a good deal beyond what the 5d mark iii is capable of. Low light noise looks more organic and less digital. High detail shots are crisp and pleasing to view. The image also holds up well to color correction. Battery life is long lasting (up to 5+ hours with the larger battery). So you can go out with a couple of batteries and shoot all day in most cases. ND filters built in. Worth their weight in gold. HDMI port allows for either uncompressed HD recording with an external recorder, or you can also run a 2nd monitor while also using the on board LCD, which is great for a video village.

Having used my C100 on 2 weddings, I'm very happy with it's performance. I shot the first wedding in C-log and figured Wide-Dr is more then enough for weddings and events for me. I leave the cam on preset 8 and am very pleased with the image quality. Balanced well on my glidecam and was almost a smooth transition from my previous camcorder. Taking a while getting use to the WB button location as it's higher then I'm use to but the joystick and accessing other items is a breeze while shooting. My only gripe with the C100 is it doesn't have any form of Slow-motion. It doesn't have 60P either which I could use for slowmotion. There are times where I could really use the feature and am not able to do. It's unfortunate. Besides that I'm a very happy customer, and happy I upgraded.
