Why We Love the Canon C Series

When it comes to cameras, we trust Canon to get the job done. Here’s why.

Image Quality

The combination of color science, skin tones and dynamic range is unparalleled when it comes to efficient and functional cinema cameras. While Canon has always been hindered by their frame rates in comparison to their competitors, their super 35 sensor is incredible and outputs a strong, colorful image. Accompanied with dual pixel auto-focus and 4k recording capability, Canon is our go to for video production for its clean and precise image.

Color Science

The cinema series works great for us because we film a lot of people in natural settings. Canons typically produce a natural looking image that don’t require a lot of color grading. The skin tones are often natural in color resulting in a clean and organic image. From our experience going back and forth between Sony and Canon, Sony cameras often produce a green or magenta skin tone. This makes it hard to achieve natural color quality and results in a lot of color grading/more time spent in post-production.

Functionality

Canons are easy to maneuver in run and gun situations which is ideal for the types of projects that we work on. We can go from handheld to tripod and stabilizer in a matter of minutes. All in all, there’s less rigging involved which makes it efficient for on the fly shoots or busy production days. It’s a Cinema camera with optimal functionality. What could be better?
