Interesting for sure! ML team must made an fortune 😏
I find this very interesting
Canon Cinema RAW Light (http://www.newsshooter.com/2017/05/31/canon-c200-4k-60p-touchscreen-af-new-canon-cinema-raw-light/)
QuoteThe C200 also introduces a new recording format: Canon Cinema RAW Light. Canon claim it will offer the "same flexibility in colour grading as Cinema RAW in a smaller file size." Using it will make the most of the sensor's dynamic range (a claimed 15 stops) but will be recordable internally. Using this mode means writing to a CFast 2.0 card and will allow 10bit (60fps) or 12bit (30fps) 4K DCI recording at a data rate of 1Gbps. Canon say that from their testing they've been getting around 15 minutes of record time from a 128GB CFast 2.0 card. You can also record 2K proxies to the internal SD card slots at the same time.
Having the ability to record RAW (even if it is light version) internally without having to go to an external recorder is impressive for a camera at this price point. This is also going to be welcome news for those shooters who want to use the C200 on a gimbal or keep their camera size to a minimum.
QuoteAt launch the only confirmed NLE to definitely support Canon Cinema RAW Light natively will be Blackmagic's Davinci Resolve .......... Apple have committed to supporting the codec 'In a future version' of FCP X.
Finally native canon raw in fcpx that's the best news :)
Edit:
Quote4K Cinema RAW Light 1Gbps VBR
must be 50 or 60fps I think

Yepp! But FCPX is non standard so an update to PPro and other would be great.
Canon is reading these forums and get's their inspiration from here ;D
Raw cinema light....sounds like magic lantern compressed raw.
10 bit and 12 bit recording options, nice multiple bit options, where's the 14 bit option Canon :P
Must say the word affordable is subjective :-\
WOW.. Magic Lantern inspired all the way, but it's a great chess move by Canon. 5D3 3K - 4K I think will be on par with the C200 4K so I'm good to go :)
Quote4K DCI recording at a data rate of 1Gbps. Canon say that from their testing they've been getting around 15 minutes of record time from a 128GB CFast 2.0 card.
1Gbps (gigabits per second) = 125MBps (megabytes per second)
15 minutes x 60 sec x 125MBps = 112.5GB
Ok--they aren't exaggerating.
so the speed is basically CF+SD spanning on 5D3. 120 MB/s
Now we just need that Raw Light on our cams ;)
The C200 records raw only on CFast 2.0 cards which are much faster than CF+SD (spanning or not) on a 5D3.
It was a joke. But still only requiring 125 MB per Second for that 4k RAW, that is some two-outs and two-ins ;)
Looks like it might do proxy too. Very nice camera. But it's a fairly heavy price tag even on body only but I feel like I would invest in this VS BMC I think.
I think the BMD ursa mini 4k, at $3000 (with a global shutter), and the 4.6k at $5000 (body only) also played a part in getting Canon to move.
They also do 4k raw light (12 bit raw), but it seems to me that they both are potentially better value than the C200 4k light raw.
However I am going by spec sheets, as have used neither BMD. Sony of course is having great success with their log formats shooting 4k, so it seems between ML 10bit 4k raw, BMD ursa mini 4/4.6k 12 bit raw, and Sony we can expect even more affordable 4k raw from Canon.

Can't help but also feel exited about Panasonics EVA1 cam. The internal (without knowing anything about the sensor seems really exiting. Also with the ability to shoot RAW (if you must) in 5.7K, post update (probably expensive?)) is really cool. Also the ability to have old lenses and get better reading to the sensor with there axis stabilization. Cool. https://www.cinema5d.com/panasonic-au-eva1-unveiled-compact-rich-in-features-and-under-8000/
Found a link to some Pre Production C200 Raw CRM Sample files here (https://forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=61259#p349695)I think the new Resolve "14" can read them , i haven't tried yet I think there are UHD 3840x2160, alone with the CRM raw files there are some sample UHD H264 MP4 . If you follow the youtube link it goes to a dropbox , Here is the direct link to the C200 CRM + the UHD H264 Mp4 (https://www.dropbox.com/sh/g99sjyywq79sgmu/AAAFznyQCMfwPt9qzpRwR_B9a?dl=0) files , don't wait to long before there are gone . The mp4 are in log but look very good , enjoy :D

is the UHD H264 MP4 on the c200 the same as on the C300
I really don't understand Canon. They don't give their DSLRs RAW goodies or better codecs in fear of taking out there Cine line, right? But they give their cheaper Cine line camera better specs then there more expensive Cine cams.... They make no sense and their product specs are all over the place.

Makes perfect sense if they believe the tv productions will continue to shoot on their c cams with prores 4444 options and if commercial what's a cheaper lighter raw can there is one now with canon colour space. If bigger budget why shoot. Canon over preferably Arri or second RED? They make money splitting the product line. Buyers are not so happy off course.
Edit: but as one Canon representative said, they make money on their lenses not so much compared with c cameras.

Would really like to know if cinema raw light goes native with Davinci Resolve? I can't have a camera that needs poorly canon software. Thanks for a reply!

I had few sample C200 raw files. It works in Davinci 14 beta. The only problem (probably a matter of time) is that it is being interpreted as some log (canon log probably?) and the raw panel is not working. So you have to adjust your exposure and white balance with 3 color wheels. But the data is there (highlights, etc).

Once you have tried, if you do ;), full 14 release please say if Raw is there?
Just tried it out, and I must say it's bigger than I imagined. The size equals to a c300 minus some top hight. Was hoping for a more compact solution for my Steadicam work. Other than that it was quite light in feeling. Unfortunately they had no Cfast available so no test footage...
C200 weighs less than the 1DxII bare boned.
But with all the accessories applied, EVF, follow focus, Ext. batteries etc. i guess you easily end up on 5 kg probably more + lens. Depends on your needs.
Some thoughts.
I have been following the release of C200 and seen many of the uploaded footages. Very very few impress me. Probably since the shooters are largely amateurs, very few cinematographers.
Good examples of uploaded footage:[/right]
What I find interesting is how C200 renders lines, they are a bit thick (a feeling of DSLR footage). If you watch some Red Scarlet footage you can easily see that lines appear much cleaner, something many appreciate. These "clear lines" can also be seen in Alexa footage.
Clean lines from Scarlet-WWhat do you think?
