Canon EOS C200

So is the C200 worth it when those cameras are great other options and the R5 is coming? If you are a commercial shooter that shoots a lot of corporat...

The C700 can record in ProRes, so I was really hoping the C200 would as well even add a lower form of it, but sadly, no. This is still a great camera ...

I loved this camera I was super pumped with how it turned out.

Please don't move from GH5 to BMPCC!. If you mostly do video, look into a Varicam LT, Canon C300 or C200, Sony FS7. Unless you really need to travel light for the videos you do, these bodies don't need to be built out like a GH5 or BMPCC. And while you can get great footage out of both of those little cameras, they do not look professional.

Yeah, it has more of a ‘mirrorless’ form factor, but it’s fairly similar to the C70 in features for significantly less. Otherwise your other options are something like what you have said above, or a Panasonic EVA 1, or a Sony FX6, or a Canon C200. As solid as an FS700 was, I have used one on a few shoots and it’s super finicky to actually operate and get the image we wanted out of it, the newer cameras are a HUGE upgrade on that front.

I've used a lot of different cameras, from DSLR's to mirrorless to cinema. I currently own a Canon C200 which I use for most client shoots (I primarily shoot TV commercials, internal communications videos, interviews, and videos for client websites). Built-in XLR, neutral density filters, easy menus, and a way to attach things are big differentiators for me. I shoot my interviews and short form work in 12-bit, which gives editors a huge amount of color for editing.

Get yourself a C200, it's a cheap camera made specifically for video.

What the hell is not too far? Have you heard of numbers? They are like letters, but convey amiunts very well.
