C300 or F5?

July 8, 2013 forum topics
I’ve been contemplating investing in a large sensor camera. The two I’m most seriously considering are the C300, and the F5.

The C300 definitely seems to be flavor of the month. Everyone seems to be shooting with them. Some production companies I know are buying their 3rd one because they are so popular.

I love that they finally made the F5 a camera you can put on your shoulder, and could run n’ gun with. I believe its also 10 bit 4:2:2 rather than 8 bit 4:2:2 50 Mbps like the C300. Plus its capable of 4K if / when that really takes off.

I’m also sort of thinking about a 5D iii (mostly because I need a new still camera), or the BMCD 35mm camera that’s coming out, but not as seriously as the other two.

What are you guys seeing / using / planning for in the future for large sensor broadcast doc’ or medium to higher end corporate cameras (I’m not planning to use it for news).
