Philip Bloom tests Canon 1DC SLR

Filmmaker Philip Bloom has posted an extensive review of the Canon 1DC SLR camera onto Vimeo. The review uses graded 4K footage scaled down to 1080 HD video, so is not an actual representation of what the 1DC is capable. Bloom has said that he will add some WETRANSFER links for native 4k footage soon.

Wetpixel spoke to the Canon representatives at DEMA last year, and they pointed out that the 1DC has the same internals with respect to still photography as the 1DX, but an improved video pipeline. Bloom asks: “Is it worth the money though? After all this is a DSLR that thinks it’s a video camera. A first. Also the first DSLR to shoot 4k and it’s internally!
