In the last couple of years only, Canon mainly and now the sony's have allowed us to shoot in ridiculously high ISO numbers.
This camera has a top ISO of 1600.
The C300 is 24000 and it's useable to 12000 or so. That's a big difference.
If you want to shoot in low / no light, this probably isn't your camera.

Yes and No JB. The thing is, with this camera you really need to do proper exposure (feed the sensor, as I read on your blog).
My making of footage with my nex5n at ISO1600 18-55 lens at f/3.5, have more light, better color, better DR that the real scene shooted with the BMCC with a 28mm lens at f2.8 at ISO 1600 (in RAW does not really matter).
I have recorded to film gamma (raw option), and the preview to film gamma too (my big mistake). In the screen I see everything, all the details... but the DNG is BLACK, like BLACK!
I had to push more that 2 EV and the image became really BAD.... :/ ... so... for me... night with bmcc only with proper lighting. But that's ok... because that was my test of the camera, and not a real shoot!
I'm gonna have a full week soon only to concentrate and shoot with the bmcc, after that I will bring my new results, now that I know the quirks of the camera.
Best,
JDS
P.s: JB... just like we talk yesterday... It took me 2h to export a couple of minutes of DNG... OUCH!
Good news is, that in a couple of weeks i receive my workstation
Resolve FTW!
