Canon Cinema EOS C300 Mark III 4K Movie Camera

Had the c300iii since release. Fantastic all round camera with 1 flaw which really makes my workflow unnecessarily challenging. No simultaneous sdi and hdmi output. It makes sending a clean feed to a client monitor and a feed to an external on board monitor impossible. Without doing loop through which presents problems. If the issue is a hard ware limitation PLEASE ‘upgrade’ (downgrade?!) the 12gSDI port to be able to send out 3G signals. its a completely wasted port for so many. Barely any monitors accept 12g so it’s would be infinitely more useful as an extra 3G port. Please!

I have had mine for 6 Months. A beautiful file and flexible frame rates make life easy.

I agree with previous reviewer Canon, please! update firmware so we can use HDMI and SDI or (MON) OUT at same time, like you did in c200 after I sold mine!!

Also, 12g SDI out port needs to support 3g SDI so we have a second port for professional use.

I also do not understand why this expensive professional cinema camera has inferior video auto focus in comparison to canon r5 camera?? - this has been a real disappointment to me as I feel I pay a good deal for the camera and I feel that this might have been locked out. The Auto focus is very inconsistent in low light situations. Sony seems much better in this regard?

Canon, I do love this camera and don't mind paying canon prices but please update these things to be competitive and fair to your customers.

Thank you
