toothpaste finally debuted with the new C200. There are mixed reviews online, and those who are cursing and those who are expecting are competing to take sides. After all, the parameters of C200 are very good, but logically speaking, in order to compete with FS7, this thing should have appeared three years ago. The constipation of Canon has brought many users into the arms of Dafa. OK, I’m complaining that Brother Digou is going to be a sarcastic tongue again!
D2 temptation
Canon is definitely a market-led manufacturer. They were deeply surprised by accident that the Canon 5d2 was sold in the video field. "It turns out that my big toothpaste can also make a fortune in the video market! Since there are entry-level users brought by SLRs, video equipment seems to be more profitable, so how can I gain some Dafa's territory when developing mid-to-high-end products?"
dreams always need to be there, what if they come true!
C series to grab money series
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 "Well, when we made an all-in-one camera and treasure in the palm, we still accumulated some financial resources." Come on, do a vote, grab money, grain and users!
The emergence of the Canon C series is indeed quite amazing. In addition to the lack of slow motion, the C100 is better than the opponent's image quality and ease of operation (Go Ge uses a camera to shoot videos, which is the breaking point on the C100. No one teaches it, and it will be a good machine to pack it for half a day.). Coupled with the popularity of EF, Dafa almost got angry! The other two products, C300, is also very cost-effective, and has become a pet in the rental market for a while. C500, I don’t have enough technology anyway, so I just made it and placed it there for you guys who worship flagship products to see it, haha!
A little constipated
In those years, Canon Professional Marketing Department appeared, and learned from Sony's professional department in a very good manner, scanning weddings, making productions, promoting televisions, and exploring rentals. Soda invested 1 million, and I would throw away 2 million. If Sony wants to sell 10,000 units, I will sell 500 units (Dafa grows every year, and we are growing by 500%, which is much more awesome).
But good times won't last long. When Dafa woke up from his confusion, became murderous from his anger, and decided to use his trump card, the toothpaste became a little bitter. Soon, the higher-quality micro-single began to poke the C100 chrysanthemum hard. The appearance of FS7 also hits the C300. Canon exclaimed, "Fuck, why don't you play according to common sense? You're really playing!" While looking for magic pills everywhere, hoping to buy the Resurrection Pill and receive Viagra!
finally pulled out
In the next time, Canon's ultimate move became a reality. It can be imagined that in the past few years, toothpaste designers have turned from black silk to white hair and have scratched countless hairs. It was like squatting in a pit, with a flushed face and constipation. I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible, but I was also afraid that I would use too much force to cause hemorrhoids or anal fissures. After finally taking out the C700 last year, there was a loud bang yesterday and the C200 finally pulled out! I think this sourness after clearing is unforgettable to every toothpaste party!
Brief review C200, FS7, FS5 and URSA MiniPro
In the current era, cameras that record HD or UHD are still the mainstream of the public. Is the Canon C200 late or bad? Judging from the specifications and prices of C200, it can still compete with many cameras on the market.
The current digital movie camera market not only has many machines to choose from, but manufacturers are also increasingly targeted to create equipment for everyone. For example, at the price point, Canon's newly released C200 is priced at about RMB 51,000, which is exactly between the Sony FS5 with a value of about 40,000 and the Sony FS7 MK II with a value of about 68,000, and it is about 7,000 yuan cheaper than the Sony FS7. Another direct opponent of
C200 is the Blackmagic Design URSA Mini Pro, which is priced at around RMB 41,000 in the United States, which is nearly 10,000 yuan cheaper than C200. At the same time, there are also new phones that Panasonic may release in the near future (can be automatically ignored), which is very powerful for the Canon C200. The breakthrough of C200 still needs to be done.
Competitive comparison
Since the data we are now obtained is only the basic specifications and has not been touched in actual operation, we can only seek differences and highlights from the parameters.We are not worried about the quality of the image brought by
C200. Personal appreciation angles are different, and even if the answer is given, it is relatively subjective. But it is certain that at this price, the image quality of the C200 recorded must be the same as the above mentioned machines and will not be bad. So, below, we will compare the parameters of the Canon C200 with its direct competitors one by one, find the differences and find highlights.
● Imager size
C200: Super 35 imager, 9.84 million pixels, 4206×2340 pixels (total pixels per imager), with dual DIGIC DV6 image processor.
Sony FS5: Super 35, 11.6 megapixels, 3840×2160 (effective pixels per imager)
Sony FS7 / FS7 MK II: Super 35, 11.6 megapixels, 4096×2160 (effective pixels per imager
BMD URSA Mini Pro: Super 35, 12.2 megapixels, 4608 x 2592 (effective pixels per imager)
Summary: The size of the imaging element is similar, but generally speaking, Canon has quite some experience in image noise reduction, so it should be better than its competitors in high-sensitivity noise control.
● Key built-in recording parameters
C200: Movie Raw format, 10bit or 12bit4K DCI format with a maximum frame rate of 60P.
UHD is 60P. In HD, the color space is 4:2:0@35Mbps, and the frame rate can reach 120P (without imager cropping).
In UHD and HD, the video format is Canon's proprietary video format XF-AVC (there will be firmware update).
Sony FS5: XAVC format, 8 bits, under UHD, the frame rate can reach 30P, the color space is 4:2:0@100Mbps;
XAVC format, 10 bits, in HD, the highest frame rate is 60P, the color space is 4:2:2@50Mbps; in
AVCHD format, in HD, the frame rate can reach 60P, the maximum bit rate is 28Mbps, and the buffer transmission frame rate is 120, 240, 480, 960fps optional. After the paid firmware update of
, it also supports internal recording of 120fps HD videos.
Sony FS7 / FS7 MK II:
XAVC-I format, 10 bit, in UHD, the frame rate can reach 59.94P, the color space is 4:2:2@600Mbps;
XAVC-I format, 10 bit, in HD, the color space is 4:2:2@222Mbps;
XAVC-L format, 10 bit, in UHD, the frame rate can reach 59.94P, the color space is 4:2:2@150Mbps;
XAVC-I format, 10 bit, when recording HD, the color space is 4:2:2@180Mbps.
BMD URSA Mini Pro: Movie DNG RAW format (uncompressed or lossless 3:1/4:1 compression), frame rate up to 60fps, 4608×2592 pixels, maximum bit rate of 513Mbps. ProRes 4444XQ format, maximum bit rate of 312.5Mbps when recording UHD. ProRes4444XQ format, 62.5Mbps when recording HD video, frame rate of 30P. In HD video, slow motion video up to 120P can be recorded.
summary: Equipped with Canon's newly developed Cinema RAW Light format, the file capacity is only Cinema 1/3-1/5 of RAW files, you can record data into CFast memory cards without an external recorder. It is more convenient than most competitors. It is also one of the most attractive tricks of C200.
● External output selection
C200: HDMI 2.0 output, with a maximum resolution of 3840×2160. SDI output HD video, with a sampling rate of 4:2:2, 10 bit.
Sony FS5: HDMI 2.0 output, with a maximum resolution of 3840×2160. SDI output HD video, with a sampling rate of 4:2:2, 10 bit. After paying to upgrade RAW, you can use 12 bits. 4K and 2KRAW video output to an external monitor. Supports 4-second continuous shooting of 4K 60P and 120P. HD videos of 100/120/200 and 240fps can be entered into ProRes through a third-party external recording device.
Sony FS7: HDMI 2.0 output, with a maximum resolution of 3840×2160. SDI output HD video, sampling rate of 4:2:4, 10 bit. ProRes 422 format can also be output to optional XDCA-FS7 expansion unit through an external recording device. After a paid upgrade to RAW, 12bit 4K and 2KRAW videos can be output to external monitors. Supports 4K 4-second continuous shooting of 60P and 120P. Through a third-party external recording device, HD videos of 100/120/200 and 240fps can be entered into ProRes.
BMD URSA Mini Pro: 2x SDI output, HD/3G/6G/12G clean output. No HDMI output.
Summary: However, in terms of current parameters, it is more confusing why Canon limits internal HD and UHD videos to 8bit 4:2:0@35Mbps and 150Mbps respectively.It clearly has the ability to support internal recording of RAW 12bit videos and full 4K DCI videos. Although Canon plans to put the XF-AVC codec into the camera through firmware updates, that's also next year. Why not just put the pinch in the new release? Worth pondering.
● Body weight (body only)
C200: 1.43Kg
Sony FS5: 0.82kg
Sony FS7 / FS7 MK II: 2kg
BMD URSA Mini Pro: 2.3kg
Summary: C200's weight control is still good. In contrast, FS5 is so light that it is popular and is the favorite portable weapon of Dog Brother. The FS7 series is just right as a tool for working. The weight control of BMD's things is also good, but from quality control to some human designs and picture quality, it may become increasingly niche.
● Memory card type
C200: 1 CFast 2.0 card, 1 SD card
Sony FS5: 1 SDXC, 1 MS/SD memory stick
Sony FS7/FS7M2: 2 XQD, 1 SD
BMD URSA Mini Pro: 2 CFast 2.0, 2 SD UHS II
Summary: C200 is a bit of a XC15 second-hand card, the two cards seem more convenient, but it also means that there is no real dual-slot slot for shooting in 4K. FS5 is user-friendly, and the SD card is cheap and sufficient. The FS7 series is definitely a pit of memory cards, and sometimes Dafa should be cursed. BMD's, that's not bad.
● Lens mount
C200: Canon EF mount. It can be converted into a PL bay mount through after-sales service.
Sony FS5: Sony universal E-mount. Other bayonet lenses can also be adapted through the speed boosters adapter ring.
Sony FS7: Same as Sony FS5.
Sony FS7 MK II: Fixed E-mount, stable connection of the body lens.
BMD URSA Mini Pro: Supports Canon EF and PL bays, and can also install B4 and Nikon lenses.
Summary: On the mount, we will not talk about the original PL address. The advantage of E port is obvious. Many EF port users have dived into Dafa. Now let’s see if they can wash it back. However, users of Sony E port, Canon is staring at me!
● machine purchase official
C200: Canon C200 body, LCD display LM-V1, LCD accessories unit LA-V1, handle unit HDU-2, microphone bracket unit, thumb stand, eye mask, shoulder strap, battery charger, small power adapter, AC adapter, 2 AC wires, BP-A3 0 battery pack, UN-5 unit cable, and Allen wrench bolts.

BMD URSA Mini Pro: Blackmagic URSAMini Pro 4.6K digital movie camera, adjustable button dust cap, side handle, LANC adapter, power supply, DaVinci Resolve full set of licensed software dogs.
Summary: All companies have conscientiously implemented the spirit of giving less and not giving more in the accessories. BMD always buys software and gets the machine. The host gift is good!
finally pulled out
Canon finally has a product that can compete with Sony FS5, FS7, FS7 MK II and BlackmagicURSA Mini Pro between the entry-level and high-end markets. In addition, Canon is also a thief. It puts the price of the C200 between Sony FS5 and FS7 MK II, sandwiched between the legs of others, which is quite vulgar but infinitely beautiful.
However, the only thing that C200 is that it takes too long to be constipated and is released too late. Its competitors such as Sony have long been swept the market and have to wait until they enter the market later this year. Sony can not only reduce the price of the FS5 and FS7 series that recover their R&D costs, but also release new products at a slightly later time. Canon has a long way to go!
Finally, yesterday's borrowing column deadline has not come, and it is still valid today.It’s Children’s Day 6. I wish the Canon C200 children a happy life and wish the Dog Brother readers a lifetime!
No matter what, let’s see the reviews of a foreign master~ I took stock of the highlights and innovations of the C200, compared the Canon EOS series cameras, and made a lot of guesses~ The content is rich, and some samples are available!
Currently, Europe can accept reservations (price is European market price)
