Four Fantastic Cine Cameras for £1500 or less!

I’ve shot with all the cameras covered in this video. The Sony FS5 II is the worst camera I have ever used. Ergonomics are terrible and the color science is atrocious. Don’t waste your $ in buying one.

I just picked up a Canon c300p mark 1l for $600 without a lens. So now I need to find an affordable under $500 PL mount lens) :(

I cud get a c100 mark 2 with lens 2k but that's too much

in brasil they still cost around $4500

How are you mounting the screen, when you not using the handle?

2k is plenty.

I own 3 Canon C100mkii's and love them still...I shoot artist interviews, art events, music concerts (big band, orchestra and others) and operas with them and have just finished editing a 5 camera shoot of a performance of a song cycle with a soprano, baritone and piano in a cathedral...we had my 3 C100mkii's, an original BMCC 2.5K and a BMPCC 6K Pro...the C100's are so reliable, easy to set up and use, have small file sizes, XLR inputs for audio when not doing separate audio, ND filters for outside in the blazing Australian sun...and more...all mine were bought second hand and are still going strong.

"so u gah suh memowy stikk lef fwom yo pee es peee"

I'm part the C100 M2 cult and I still love it. I appreciate the kind words because it was/is such a reliable workhorse with a great feature set, tiny gradeable files, and terrific battery life. If canon had just made the internal codec 4k 422 10 bit, improved the autofocus and a few other points, they would have sold a million of them. It's still a great camera for long presentations, concerts etc. - very sharp 1080. The lack of EVF on the C70 was a huge dealbreaker for me - I use it all the time.

Why are so many people fooled into canon colors? They are shifted megenta and are a pain at times. Panasonic, Fuji, and Nikon all have far better colors.

The lumix s5 looks better than all of these wow….

I wouldn't get any of this crap when you can get a p4k for barely 1000€

the c100ii is the best camera i ever owned, absolutely brilliant. so easy to use, beautiful colours

I stopped watching DR TV when these guys left and ever since I had not think about them because I never knew of this chanel until today when I got it absolutely randomly suggested to me on my feed, I'm sooooooooooo happy now :3

Hmm. Hard pass on the Canon C100, its pretty outclassed, even at the price point. The Sony FS looked pretty good, but then I'm one of the weirdos that doesn't mind Sony's color, I agree the EVA1 looks very good. If I could go back in time before buying an A7SIII and FX30, I'd be pretty interested in the FS5/7 or EVA1.

The only thing stopping me on the C100 II is that 4:2:0 8-bit, it's still good now but definitely not future-proof now that clients demand more invasive color grading

The EVA-1 can produce a very lovely image. The stock LCD screen is slightly worsen than a Gameboy from the 80s. It is honestly that bad, completely useless as a monitor.

VARICAM LT?

Take the money you'd spend on an older cine cam, save it up for longer and get a modern cine camera, the modern features are worth the cost.

Good grief that digital sharpening on iPhones is ridiculous.

The EVA1 has the nicest image by far

iphone looks distorted somehow , too wide ?

4k is over rated , alot of people wont watch 4k coz their monitor + internet isnt good enough . Good colour 1080 is fine by me

yay new reviews ! awesome

Eva 1 for 1500? There is no way....

I like the form factor of the Canon C100, and the Sony FS5…we in fact are still using the FS5 daily.

Hi Kai and Lok, Thanks for your advice. I just completed my first trade with MPB. They are quick, nice and reply email very quickly. 🥰🥰🥰

EVA1 for 1500£? I can purchase it right away 😅

Would've loved to see better quality review ...lucky we didn't see kai try to fit the camera in the pocket ...

Where is the BMP4K ?? Thats the best!!!

Man I love Lok and his wonderful haircut <3

Have no interest to buy any of these cameras and just want to see your videos... and now somehow those cameras are on my radar now. Good job.

Image from eva1 is still amazing. And it does very usable 1080p 240fps which still most cameras is not capable today.

just got my BMPCC 6k from MPB :)! gonna be epicccc under 1500 btw !

Would love to see an old Red camera added to the list.

In the era of pocket 4k, fx30, bgh1, S5 etc I would not touch any of these.

I'd love to see panasonic release a successor to the EVA. The camera was SO close to being good, but failed to stick the landing. Really it's a better viewfinder and a couple firm wear upgrades (move some of the deeper menu items to more logical places and stop turning off my xlr ports when swapping frame rates) away from being awesome. If you were to toss in the new auto focus system you'd have a good low budget competitor to the Sony FX6. Although part of the problem with the EVA - 01 at launch was the GH5 for most applications and use cases was just so much better bang for your buck.

I got an OG BMPCC for 63USD

All great! I'd use any of them!

Парни помогите снять следующие видео, с такими пушками вы сделаете это круто

where alamby

i think im going to sell my video camera because my life not exciting enough to use it

I rented a c100 Mark 2 a few years back to shoot some re enactemtn scenes for a documentary I was shooting for a "client" (read: :I got scammed by the client: but that's another story) and I had only ever shot on my 5D2, T1i and T3i ... this was my first experience on a proper camera and man ... I LOVED IT! It was hard going back to the 5d2 for video. Thankfully I mostly shoot talking heads so.

Now my main is an EOS R.

Just get bmpcc for that price and record braw 🔥

I wish you had some Blackmagic Design cameras in this list. The OG Ursa (or Ursa Mini 4K) especially. In 'non-cine' or hybrid form factors, I would say the BM Pocket 6K/4K, Lumix S5 (OG), Lumix GH5 all contend pretty well, especially with the All-I codec and 6K options

Wonder if Magic Lantern has a loader for the C100MKII that gets you the 4k?

Where do you guys get your prices from? EVA1s used cost about 4 times and about double used in okay condition?

Why should i not get the bmpcc 6k for a similar price

I used mpb to get my c100 mk 2 . Good company.
Im check the orders prices now. I seriously doubt these cams can be had for that price though (besides the c100)

I don't really have a use for (or interest in) a Cine-Camera, but it was still a great video :-)
