Today we got to try out the Canon C100 on a music video shoot.

After the shoot we headed over to Long Beach, NY to test out the low light sensitivity of the C100, which is far superior to our Canon DSLRs. The camera definitely offers what we have been missing since we started shooting with DSLRs four years ago such as built-in ND filters and zebra patterns. The Canon C100 would be a great choice for aspiring filmmakers looking to upgrade their gear and have a more theatrical look.
