Here are the reasons I choose the Canon C300 Mark II.<\/h2>\n<p><em>Top image of C300 via\u00a0<a title=\"Lauschsicht\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lauschsicht.com\/canon-eos-c300-mark-ii-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Lauschsicht<\/a> on <a title=\"Lauschsicht on Vimeo\" href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/144403665\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Vimeo<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Almost every camera now has internal <strong>4K<\/strong>, <strong>slow-motion capabilities<\/strong> and at least <strong>ten\u00a0stops of dynamic range<\/strong>. When starting on a project, there\u2019s sometimes more to consider when choosing a camera than just specs on a sheet of paper. There will always be a camera that\u2019s more fitting for one type of job over the other. When it comes to documentary work, in my book, the <a title=\"Canon C300\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/internet\/portal\/us\/home\/products\/details\/cameras\/cinema-eos\/eos-c300-mark-ii\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\"><strong>Canon C300 Mark II<\/strong><\/a> is the gold standard.\u00a0Here are the top three reasons why I&#8217;m using it on my next documentary shoot.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"1-the-image\"><b>1. The Image<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"CANON EOS C300 MARK II | World of SWISS | Production Impressions\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/144403665?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><em>A video from\u00a0<a title=\"Lauschsicht\" href=\"http:\/\/www.lauschsicht.com\/canon-eos-c300-mark-ii-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Lauschsicht<\/a>\u00a0featuring C300 footage<\/em><\/p>\n<p>A lot of people are now\u00a0shooting documentary projects with the Sony <a title=\"Sony FS7\" href=\"https:\/\/pro.sony.com\/bbsc\/ssr\/micro-xdcam\/resource.latest.bbsccms-assets-micro-xdcam-latest-pxwfs7.shtml?PID=I:hp_landingpage:xdcampxwfs7_landing_page\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">FS7<\/a> and <a title=\"FS5\" href=\"http:\/\/pro.sony.com\/bbsc\/ssr\/show-highend\/resource.solutions.bbsccms-assets-show-highend-fs5.shtml\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">FS5<\/a>. It&#8217;s what they use for <a title=\"VICE\" href=\"http:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt2782710\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">VICE on HBO<\/a>. It&#8217;s a fact that the\u00a0Sony line of cameras simply have better slow motion capabilities. However, I&#8217;ll trade high frame rate capabilities for better looking <strong>skin tones.<\/strong> I&#8217;m not planning on finishing the film in 4K, so 1080p and 120 fps will suffice. Skin tones are a huge reason why I choose the\u00a0<strong>C300 Mark II<\/strong>. Canon\u2019s C-Series is known for the beautiful way they render skin.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Canon Log2\" href=\"http:\/\/blog.wtsbroadcast.com\/2015\/09\/canon-c300-mark-ii-canon-log2-explained\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">Canon Log 2<\/a> is a great part of the Canon image. The\u00a0profile is great at\u00a0pulling out the kind of images the camera was built for. My favorite feature of CLog 2 is that in Premiere you can drop in an <strong>Alexa LUT<\/strong> and the footage looks beautiful.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s a <a title=\"super helpful article by the team at the Hurlblog\" href=\"http:\/\/www.thehurlblog.com\/the-power-of-the-canon-c300-cinematography\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">super helpful\u00a0article on the C300 Mark II by the team at the Hurlblog<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"2-reliability-and-ease-of-use\"><b>2. Reliability and Ease of Use<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>The<strong> C300 Mark II<\/strong>\u00a0just works. It doesn\u2019t put up a fuss. The menu system is easy to understand and I personally enjoy the ergonomics. On my last documentary, we filmed up on the continental divide. It was the middle of February. The wind was impossibly harsh. It was -15 degrees and there were five-foot snow banks. In those extreme conditions, you want a camera that you know will work for you no matter what. The camera never gave up on us in those extreme circumstances. It was dependable.<\/p>\n<p>The versatility of this camera is something to consider as well. It works well as a stripped-down <strong>run-and-gun workhorse<\/strong> with every feature you&#8217;d need built in. If you have a larger budget, you have all the connections you need to run larger batteries and attach most any\u00a0accessories.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"3-lenses\"><b>3.

No matter what focal length you need, you\u2019ll easily be able to find or get access to what you need. This was a huge drawback to other cameras for me. I\u2019m not a huge fan of lens adapters. You have to <strong>adjust for exposure<\/strong> when using them and sometimes they just don\u2019t work the way they were intended. I would much rather just have a lens that works natively with the mount of the camera. Plus, there&#8217;s great <a title=\"EF Lenses\" href=\"https:\/\/www.usa.canon.com\/internet\/portal\/us\/home\/products\/groups\/lenses\/ef\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-wpel-link=\"external\">EF<\/a> mount cinema lenses that you can use.
