The camera weighs a little more than the AF-100.Īll the buttons are on one side of the camera. It’s also adjustable if you want to swivel it a bit but the stock position was fine for me. With the way the C100 is laid out, it’s the most ergonomic camera I have used so far, straight out of the box with no add-ons. Shooting all-day handheld is hard enough. This is a big one, so I’m going to start here. The camera feels like a big DSLR with a pistol grip. I have to say it works very well with no rig. I decided to use the camera in the out-of-the-box configuration. I was going to rent the 24-70 f2.8 but knew the shooting style would be handheld walking shots that I needed the IS, so I passed. That messes with me if I’m using both types on the same shoot. The only issue is the Nikon’s focus in the opposite direct.

Darn it! I have a Fotodiox Nikon to EOS adapter, so I was able to use the Zeiss 85mm ZF on the Canon C100 and it works great. That’s it! I sold off the 17-40 early in the year. My collection is 24-105 f4 IS, 70-200 f4 non IS, and the plastic fantastic 50mm. The F3 is one of my favorite cameras for TVC work, but the ergonomics aren’t so good. I own an AF-100 and use it as my primary camera. I decided to give the Canon C100 a try after hearing and seeing so many positive reviews of the camera. I was lucky to have a couple of shoots lined up around the same time the s35 sensor Canon C100 was available for rental.
