New video camera, incoming!
It’s going to act as a ‘B’ camera this time, as a compliment to my main video setup.
It’s a Canon C100 which is the baby brother/predecessor to my current C100 Mark ii.
It shoots really solid video and I actually didn’t want to spend on another if I could help it, but this gives me greater options for work, as I will be able to charge more for the use of it when needed as an addition on some jobs.
I’m getting more work where this kind of camera is really useful, so it makes sense for now.
In fact I’ll be shooting with it on Wednesday for a shoot with a new University in Manchester. More on that to follow, probably.
Anyway, my plan is that it will pay for itself fairly soon, and then I can sell it on when the time is right (when I need the cash back...selling house and moving ain’t cheap you know?)
Or, perhaps I’ll buy more STEEM when I eventually sell it on :)
Either way I feel like I’m winning (for a change) with this. ⚡️

Looking for zoom lens for my sony a6500, probably will go with sony 18-135mm f4, not a best in low light but still got my sigma 16mm f1.4, maybe one day it gone pay for itself 😁👊

Wow 18-135 sounds an incredibly versatile focal length! f4 is totally reasonable for that - my go-to is Canon 24-105 f4. Ideal for all sorts!
16 f1.4? That’s the nuts!
Make it paaaaay!

Nice! I really liked Canon's line I was about to get one recently. I am a noob to camera's but wanted to spring for something decent for any future debates/video calls. I went with the A7r III - and I got a wide angle lens and a full frame lens from sony.
@theycallmedan Oooh yeah A7r III is solid, all real versatile cameras in the Alpha line.
A wide angle and full frame - I love that perspective on those cameras. Nice choice.
Yeah the ‘C’ line of Canons are brilliant, and great value.
I’m shooting HD - no warrant for 4K with the kind of the work I do, but I do have my eye on the C200 beast next. Possibly next year or so if all goes to plan!

I guess it’s handy!
Take care of them before they’re making our stay here good. Like how many bucks is this one @ashtv?

Very handy @maxdevalue! I paid £1000 for it second hand, which is the most I would want to pay for this model really.

Congrats!
I just bought a new GH5s and now my GH5 will be the B camera, I think. I don't really know if one or the other is a "B" camera as they are just different.
The GH5s is a real badass indoors though, especially with my Sigma and Metabones and that's exactly what I needed.
Again, congrats on the new tool. I hope it pays off in multiples!
Awesome! I used a GH5 recently and was rather impressed.
Yeah I just call any camera I use less than my main camera a B camera!
It’s a nice addition but not essential.
Metabones speedbooster is it? I bet it’s unbelievable for low light!
Cheers for the comment @diggndeeper, and I hope it pays off too! :)
