Great video! The c500ii seems amazing! That auto focus makes me super jealous.

[JonPais]

Love the feature where autofocus locks on head and doesn't change to background even when subject leaves the frame.

[saminekunis]

The car scenes that you recorded with this Camera are simply outstanding

Great review Armando. I would love to see these updates on this camera.
1. Auto focus in all frame rates.
2. 120FPS.
3. C70's overlay shortcut button for all settings. I think that is brilliant idea to see all of your camera info at one push of a button.
4. RF exchangeable mount.

I would love the Canon C500 Mk2. But, it's out of my range so I'll keep on pushing with my Pocket 4K and 6K and hopefully will have one within a year. Thanks for uploading Armando. Have a good day and stay safe.

“True 50mm” is not an appropriate way to describe lens behavior on different sensor sizes. It is always a 50mm. It will always have the characteristics and distortion of a 50mm. Prior to ten years ago, no one described a 50mm on a normal Super 35 movie set as “75mm”. And no one calls a 50mm that can only accommodate a super 35 or a 2/3rds frame an “untrue” 50mm.

That’s my two cents! Love your vids! I just feel the sensor size as it relates to lenses convo is confusing sometimes. But ultimately I suppose I’m just being picky in terms of word choice rn.

Armando! You are rapidly becoming my "go to guy" for valuable information that I feel I can trust! Canon shooter for life and this vid on the C500MKII has me sold. Now, I just need to get my letter to Santa into the mail! Thanks for all you do to inspire and educate those of us who aspire to your standard of excellence in filmmaking. ¡Tu eres el hombre!

Amazing video, Armando, as usual! I was wondering just the other day what you were working on and now here it is. I think you'll be getting your wish with the firmware updates since the C70 was announced with having 4k 120 and touch screen navigation, so hopefully it will be along shortly! My name is Chad, thanks again for reading, and you'll catch me in the next one. Adios!

When you have the work coming in, you can justify almost anything. I appreciate how the work that goes into making these videos. At the end of the day budget determines it all. No sense in buying a $15, 000 camera of you are going to make it look like a $800 camera. Thank you Armando for the work you put in man. Do you normally sell your old gear, or rent it out?

[indymogul]

Great review Armando! We need to get one... or 5 of these :)

[simongentry]

armando - there’s a shot of you shooting with a jib - could you let us know which one you like filming with?

[patricksharpe]

Hola! Good to see you back in action Armando!

[dvdaltizer]

Great review boys! I believe the reason for the audio being over there is for the sound person or A/C to have access to the controls while the camera op has access to all the image controls. Thoughts on that?

[justinashlye]

I have the C300mkiii
Coming from full frame with photography it’s been an adjustment in regards to lens choices!

But I wasn’t prepared to spend the extra $6k for the C500 mkii being that they are so similar! Both are amazing cameras obviously! Had I had the extra funds I would of wanted full frame! But despite super 35 it has an edge or 2 over the C500 mkii! I’m happy though! Surprised you compared more to the C200 but I get it

[jfilmzstudio]

Armando a straight G! Spanish and English. The Goat!

A few details worth considering: 1. EIS performs exceptionally poorly in low light shooting situations in most cameras. I noticed you provided an example shot in broad daylight. Optical and mechanical, or a combination of the two provide far superior results generally speaking. 2. The reason you can get superior images when shooting above 800 ISO is because there is some image noise processing going on inside the camera. Some productions prefer to get the raw image and do all their noise reduction in post, thus the main reason why the Arri Alexa series of cameras only outputs the basic image without any in camera processing. What do you mean when you say you cannot record in 6K 10 Bit colour ? So what is the colour space with this camera when shooting in 6K then ? Is it only in RAW ? The images do look really fantastic however Armondo. 👍

Great video. Enjoy your reviews. Potato Jet as background extra adds a lot of production value.

[codygibson]

I’ve been looking for this review for a while. Glad it finally came lol.

[JackyLi]

Not planning to even own one, but love the videos you put out!! Always learning something Armando.
