The C-100 is a great product. Even after years since it?s release, the camera still produces beautiful footage that?s workable in post. I mostly use mirrorless cameras for work but the C-100 is my go to when I want to get a little more cinematic with the look.

Love it..even in 2020 this camera is a beast! This is my main camera, so simple to use. Perfect for run and gun and anything else honestly.

I bough this in 2019 after having used one at work for 4 years. Why buy a HD camera with a mediocre codec when 4k is common these days? Simple - very reliable and great HD image quality. Built-in HD filters, good XLR audio and cooling fan is HUGE advantage over mirrorless or DSLR shooting. Excellent battery life, good layout of controls, small file sizes that still grade well even in 4.2.0 8 bit. I'll take reliability and good image quality over the latest camera all the time. This camera may be showing it's age, but still a lot to like about it.

I have been using the Canon C100 Mark II for a while (6 months) and have managed to get some great footage. However, I am disappointed with the Face Tracking not finding my Canon 35 mm (1:1,4) and 70 - 200 mm (1:2,8) lenses "not compatible". It also will not allow me to access the Slow Motion option in the menu, using these high-end lenses!

If you are not ready to jump to 4k yet, the C100 Mark II is your best choice. The joy of using this camera is unmatched. A great camera for anyone transitioning from a DSLR.

Definitely recommend. Using for doc and interview work, has all the functions I need to accomplish what I want and speeds up my workflow. Shipped and arrived quick as well.

Solid. Serious upgrade from the C100 Mark II! Very pleased with this camera/lens combo.

Had this camera for about 2 years. I trust it and it has never let me down. Picture quality is great and low light is great too. I like the way the camera looks and all the buttons you can use insted of going into the menu to find what your looking for. Very intuitive to use. A few things I would say, is the uncompressed HDMI output OTHER THEN 60P is interlaced and that makes it hard to work with. (who uses interlaced footage this day and age?). Also this camera has auto focus and it works not as good as I thought it would. It hunts and the thing in focus is NEVER really in focus, and I have to manual do it. Defeats the purpose of AF. Using Canon EF-S 18-135mm IS STM lens.

I started the process of finding a workhorse for my business by working with the Blackmagic 4K PC, I ultimately ended up sending it back. You NEED lights and I mean lots of light. I decided to try this off a recommendation from Film Riot, and I couldn't be happier with every aspect of this camera. It's so worth the price and the learning curve is small.

Switched from Sony FS100. Love the image quality, and C-Log. Found it very easy to use in run and gun, and weddings. Last weekend shot a dance event in low light conditions, came out stunning.

This camera resolves 1080 beautifully, and is a very solid performer, however I wish to go straight to a feature that should be improved: The only progressive output available in 1080 via the HDMI port is 60p. When set to 29.97 or 23.98. the HDMI signal is interlaced: 59.94i - and this has reduced the usability of this excellent camera. The HDMI output is critical for professional use, because the internal recording format is highly compressed. The only other aspect of this camera that is critical and unusual is the White Balance, (WB). If you select A or B and activate the WB while pointing at a white balance card, it properly sets the correct Kelvin, but if you choose Kelvin and manually dial the temperature to that very same temperature, it isn't the same result. Meaning, I can use the WB setting in preset A to activate a white balance and everything looks perfect. Let's say that the temperature is 3400 Kelvin. I can then change the preset to Kelvin and dial the temperature to 3400 manually but the result is not the same. This issue makes it necessary to use a white card for each camera on a multi camera shoot versus being able to simply match Kelvin temperature to the same identical value.

A pleasure to operate. I love using the new viewfinder and 3.5" OLED monitor. The ergonomics are excellent; very lightweight considering how much it offers. Unusually beautiful 1080p image thanks to the in-camera 4K sampling. Great lowlight performance. The batteries last forever and the SD media is very affordable. Combines many of the best elements of a Canon DSLR and a traditional video camera. I wish there was a Canon zoom control for this type of camera/lens system, but insofar as camera limitations go, I'm willing to sacrifice that for the interchangeable lens option. Plus I hear Zacuto has a zoom control solution coming out fairly soon. All-in-all, this might be the most pleasurable professional camera I've ever owned.

I own the C300 and the C100 Mark 1 and this new camera is my favorite. The image is spectacular, with some very nice upgrades over the early Cinema EOS cameras. Highly recommend this camera.
