Canon EOS C100 Digital Cinema Camera and Atomos Ninja 2 Recorder, now I now you get similar specs with the BM2.5 but non of the quality issues some people seem to get with the BMCC.
It seems it would be almost the same as buying a C300 as they stated that the sensors are the same in both cameras. I know not exactly but close, it still won't have all of the features in the C300 but a good priced Alternative.
Anyone tried this combo? Want to share their thoughts.
I hardly consider that to be similar specs:
C100+external recorder: ProRes HQ 1080p Compressed
BMCC: Raw Uncompressed CINEMA DNG 2.5k
C100+external recorder: about 11 stops DR
BMCC: 13 stops
Cost of C100 body: £4000 + £550 for external recorder: £4550
Cost of BMCC (recorder internal): £1550
On-board sound and ergonomics are arguably better on the c100.
C100 has a larger sensor too - and some would argue better low light.
In my opinion (which you kinda asked for) - They are still two very different cameras even with the atmos ninja 2.
