The Canon EOS C300 camcorder is capable enough for use in broadcast environments, but if you don't need HD-SDI or Genlock output, consider the C100 Mark II as a much more affordable alternative.

Expensive. Video tops out at 1080p30. Image sensor is not full-frame. AF system struggles in dim light. Lacks onboard shotgun mic. Video quality on par with more affordable cameras.
The pricing of the new Canon EOS C300 hasn’t been announced yet, but it’s expected to be much less than the RED cameras, and that makes it a perfect choice for beginner cinematographers and companies who want to start a studio or create a TV show using their own equipment and locations.
Wow is all I can say! The C300 has a far superior color and look to it. Easy to operate and I am still learning better ways to use it. Having the sensor capture @ Ultra HD (4k) is great for wonderful 1080P Finals.
After year of using and owning soley Canon Products like the the XL1, XL2, XF 300, and now the Canon C300, I love the controls, I like the quality of color, and the features.If you are in business to make money canon has never let me down and always gave me a "High Quality, Professional Images".
There are many reviews of the equipment hardware. This is to tell you that there are almost no resources that clearly and simply explain how to use the canon Log function, How to use LUTs. The video scopes or how to set up custom picture settings.
it is the best, i have ever owned. i would recomend it to every one wanting to buy it.
