It&#8217;s nice to see so much competition for once, even though it may be getting a little ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p>That being said, some cameras definitely perform better than others thanks to their design internally\/externally and the consideration their creators have for the DP&#8217;s in the preliminary stage of a camera&#8217;s creation.<\/p>\n<p>So where does the C300 fit in when it comes to the ideals above?<\/p>\n<p>The Canon C300 was a workhorse but it was destined to meet a competitor that would blow it out of the water.<\/p>\n<p>Why, might you ask? Because the camera has a ton of flaws.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>The flaws of the first Canon C300<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The C300 captures amazing imagery, don&#8217;t get me wrong.<\/p>\n<p>The Canon Super 35mm CMOS Sensor coupled with the Canon DIGIC DV III Image Processor yields a wide amount of dynamic range and great low light performance.<\/p>\n<p>But as you know, Canon is almost always on point when it comes to image creation. It&#8217;s the rest of the package that comes into question.<\/p>\n<p>As with any camera, there are strong and weak points.<\/p>\n<p>Besides the crispy clean picture you can capture with low noise and easy menu navigation&#8230;there are some big issues with the camera.<\/p>\n<h3>Here are some qualms that others and myself have had with the C300<\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The Canon C300&#8217;s Main Issues:<\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><span style=\"font-family: helvetica; color: #444444;\">Internally<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Highlight rolloff could use improvement. The depth of the image suffers slightly because of this. Images tend to have less of a 3D effect.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The C300 only captures in HD (1920&#215;1080). This definitely left the impression that Canon was &#8220;sandbagging&#8221; since the C300 was using the same 4K sensor that the C500 had.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It has no high speed capabilities. This was a big drawback for a lot of people and many could not understand how Canon justified charging the price that they did for the camera. The best you could capture was 60fps at 720 HD resolution.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Externally<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>The flimsy top handle is unreliable. Anytime I&#8217;ve had to use this camera, I&#8217;m forced to constantly tighten the dial to keep it from loosening to the point of slipping off. Not a very good design and the material it&#8217;s made of is even more questionable.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>It&#8217;s not ergonomic, the shape of the body is awkward. Though the menu navigation allows me to move quickly and efficiently, the shape of the camera and weight distribution becomes an issue when rigging it up.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>What changed from the C300 to the Mark II?<\/h2>\n<p>Now that we just tore the camera apart, let&#8217;s look at some of the improvements to its successor.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m seeing awesome results from the C300 Mark II thanks to it&#8217;s internal\/external design improvements.<\/p>\n<p>The best improvement to me was the expanded 15 stops of dynamic range and the ability to record 4K,2K,HD internally or externally (including 4K RAW output). The next best feature is the implementation of the new 10-bit Canon Log 2 Gamma which gives much more flexibility in post.<\/p>\n<p>Another great feature I like is the oversampled 2K\/HD that reduces moire in the image and things like the improved focus assist and expanded focusing area that helps for run and gun scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>This is a great camera, there is no doubt about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The C300 Mark II is not without it&#8217;s own new set of flaws though, check out this interesting video highlighting the best and worst things about this new camera.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\" style=\"text-align: left;\"><em><strong><span style=\"font-size: 16px;\">Canon&#8217;s Jon Sagud walks through all of the features with Zacuto&#8217;s Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn.<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div class=\"hs-responsive-embed-wrapper hs-responsive-embed\" style=\"width: 100%;
