looks like this or a 5dii might be my next body

Judging Canon's photo cameras for their ability to shoot video is like judging a racehorse's speed based on its ability to swim. And if you invest all your money in their high-end DSLRs and closed-system glass primarily for video use, you might need a lesson in economics.

Fortunately fervent debate over camera specs improves the quality of our photos, right?

For those with a sense of humor, regardless of your thoughts on canon or not. this is funny:

Company will complete a move by the end of the year to the nearby town of Lake Failure

LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., September 17, 2012 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, today announced that it would be moving it's corporate headquarters from Lake Success to the nearby town of Lake Failure. The move, being considered for several years under Canon's FF-6D initiative, is an effort to reduce overall operating costs for their U.S.A. division.

Lake Failure is a surprising choice for Canon as they had also considered a move to the town of Lake Nokin which many believe offers more benifits and amenities at a lower cost. One executive at Canon stated that "we know this choice is not going to make our employees very excited - but we feel that they don't really need all of the amenities in Nokin. We have a lot more experience making these types of decisions. Our employees will eventually realize that this move is the best thing for them at this time."

Family oriented employeess of Canon will be disappointed to hear that Lake Failure has 11 activity-fun (AF) parks while Nokin offers 39, 11 of which have cross park trails - Failure only offers one. Getting to these parks will also take longer as Failure's roads have lower speed capabilities than Nokin's. Canon employeess will also have to switch their toll fare provider as Failure does not support the more popular Car Fast (CF) system. One anonymous employee stated "I have been using the CF system for 10 years, now I have to put the Simple Dash (SD) system in all of my cars. Will I be reimbursed for this cost - certainly not!"

Lake Failure does provide Canon with Wi-Fi access throughout the town but many residents complain that the speed of the system makes it irrelevent for most tasks. Ken Blockwell, a long-time resident of Nokin says that he understands why Canon employees would be upset. "Nokin has always been a better place to live. And believe me I know, because I know everything."

The move is slated to be complete by December 2012 but Canon has acknowledged that it will review it's decision 12-18 months from now.

but can it shoot 120?!

nope, guess ill just get the new sony pov cam

if I know thomas, he probably refers to 120 as medium format film

GL2, xh-a1, xl 2... these were all amazing and are still top notch even with todays standards (the last 2 at least)

even way back in the super 8 days, canon had the 1014XL-S camera, revolutionary electronic design and complete performance, it was the moste widely used camera in television at a certain time.

Right now the c300 is an amazing piece of camera.

canon has always been a great video and photo brand, my issue with them is that they used to be up there with panasonic and sonys models ( with the models I specified) but now they are not responding to the competition, at all. there has been no response what so ever to the AF100, fs100/700 and for people like me who are in the market for a camera like this but fully stacked in canon gear, I have no alternative but to switch because canon doesnt want to adapt to the new video market. big sensor video cameras are the future, not just in the production budgets like they seem to be thinking with the c300.

Im switching over to sony with the fs700 by next summer, I cant stay with a company that doesnt offer what I need, and especialy not with one that is so stubborn that it wont listen to its clients by fixing sound control.

:)

i would have to agree, canon camcorders were the shit before the hdslr revolution. its kind of a shame that they don't really have an answer to some of the other competitors out there. canon still has great cameras and something to cover a variety of projects, but like mentioned ^ they don't have a prosumer camera that fits my needs right now. i love my 60D and i love it more after i installed ML but if i was in the market for a major upgrade to a pro cam, id definitely be checkin out the fs700 and fs100 much more

That would be so sick: a camera with two backs. A film back and interchangeable digital back. They could probably make this. If there would only be a market for it...

lolyumad?

But I don't think the Rz one is full 6x7... It would be amazing if hassy came out with a digital back for the 500 series, that plus a fisheye would be the ultimate modern skate photo camera.

I dont think there is a modern 6x7 digital sensor...

hAhaha

LRN2MEDIUMFORMAT, NOOB!
I said no 6x7 sensor, not no medium format one. 6x7 is 56mmx70mm (aka huge)

hasselblad's largest digi sensor is 40.2mmx53.7mm

^exactely, so you get a crop factor too, mf digi isn't worth it yet, for the $30,000 the digi back costs you might as well buy your own drum scanner!
