However, if you only need small color corrections and want to record a lot of material, such as documentations, you can be pleased with the high recording time of about 5 ½ hours on 64GB of storage, but only in HD.Īnother recording format is the ProRes codec used in the Blackmagic BMPC 4K, which has similarly high data rates in 4K mode as the 1D X Mark II, but in 10Bit instead of 8Bit. Those are the greatest weakness of the C100, which due to its low data rate of only 25 Mbit/s has significantly fewer possibilities in color correction and grading. The details contained in the highlights and shadows can be worked out well in post without getting any compression artifacts. However, due to the high data rate and good signal processing (422) of the 1DX Mark 2 it offers a similarly good post-processing reserve, comparable to their photos in JPEG frame mode. Many people who tested the 1DX Mark2 complained about the high data rate 128GB correspond to approximately 30min of footage.įor comparison: The Sony FS7 with 250MBit/s and H.264 writes about 60min to 128GB. Actually today’s standard is a H.264 codec, as used by Sony (FS7) or Canon (C300Mark2). The 4k video image has a high detail sharpness, without exaggerating, meaning without artificially sharpening the image. The data rate is 500 Mbit/s or 62.5 MByte/s at 25p or 800 Mbit/s or 100 MByte/s at 50 / 60p respectively. The Canon 1D-X Mk2 records at real DCI 4k (4096×2160) with a 17: 9 aspect ratio and framerates of 24, 25, 30, 50, 60 progressive frames per second in video mode. In our opinion with a lightweight and small camera you can produce good pictures faster. Short handheld shots work as well, thanks to the practical side handle.Īll this except for the lack of the top handle unit of the C100 can be done with the 1DX MK2 Body. It is relatively lightweight, compact and can be quickly used on tripod, slider, gimbal or light dolly.
The C100 body is very handy in the daily film work. Often, however, the form factor depends on the technical workflow, for example shoulder cameras are equipped with better audio or synchronous functions (genlock) for broadcasting.įor us, we produce advertising films, high-quality documentations and image films, the Super 35mm look (large sensor) and a compact form factor is crucial. Nowadays the image quality of a camera is not defined solely by its physical size. Some people like the ergonomics of a shoulder camera, others like a small compact camera. The choice of the form factor of a camera besides the image and build quality depends on personal preferences.
