#CANON C300 MARK 2 PROFESSIONAL#

Online forums place a huge emphasis on the technical stats of professional cameras above all else, but in a real world application it’s not so black and white. We were shooting a presenter against a greenscreen for a pharmaceutical company. The following day was a very different shoot with different requirements that the C300 mark II handled with ease. Using the Canon C300 for Corporate Footage Being Canon, it was also an easy pairing for the accompanying stills shot on my 5D mark III. It’s perfect for a fast paced shoot with a lot of other technically challenging things happening, not having to worry about the camera and being able to focus on getting the lighting right was ideal. The camera is an absolute workhorse and very low maintenance on set. I used 8 lights all with different gels to create this look and the C300 mkII didn’t miss a beat. Below is graded screenshot from the photography shoot where you can see how the C300 mark II has handled the very subtle tonal and colour changes without banding. At 4k you can shoot 10bit raw, which is what we did. It renders the colours well and I like the canon colour science. In the absence of an Alexa, the C300 mk II is a great alternative (mini-fact: it was designed with being a B cam to the Alexa in mind). If the camera doesn’t deal with this there will be a mess.

The first was a high-concept spec perfume commercial and the next day a presenter against a greenscreen for a pharmaceutical company. “I recently worked on two very different shoots back to back using the same Canon C300 mark ii for both. We asked Director of Photography, Tom Watts to give us a comprehensive review of this popular Canon camera and what to take into account for the different types of client requests. One of the most popular professional cameras we hire in for clients is the Canon C300.įrom Fashion shoots to Music Videos to Corporate pieces to camera, the C300 mark ii performs with distinction. The choice of camera is a key consideration for any shoot.
