Would you pay more for 1080p in the M5 that is at least as good as in 80D?

Thanks, everyone, for contributing. Interesting results.

It looks like almost half of the respondents do care about video in M5 and are dissatisfied with the Canon's implementation. Slightly more than half have no use for even 80D-level video in their M5.

Granted, this poll is not scientific in terms of its sample size and sampling methodology. But if it is at least roughly reflective of the enthusiasts' preferences, then Canon seems to either target a different market segment with their mirrorless offering, or they indeed want you to buy their cinema cameras for larger-sensor video. That is nice and dandy, but as an amateur, I cannot afford to pay for and lag around a DSLR and a C100 MII. Besides, the C100 is an overkill for many non-professional users anyway.

Well as it stands the C100mk2 can't be used professionally either at this point.

It can only shoot 1080p with a crappy consumer grade 4:2:0 8-bit Codec.

you'd have to completely out of your mind to even consider one at this point. Especially with the Sony FS5 and Blackmagic Ursa on the market.

So the first serious Canon ILC for video is 16k

the C300mk2
