The usually very verifiably informed Newsshooter portal reports that one received from the first hand (allegedly from the C200 engineers themselves) a reliable information: That is, the beginning of 2018 C200 firmware update for the MXF codec only in 8 bits With 4: 2: 0 on the SD card slots will record. Thus, the MXF container, apart from the metadata, would hardly differ from the internal 8Bit MP4 recording, which the C200 already dominates today. PIC1 If this information is correct, many potential buyers may be deterred. Finally, virtually all competitors in this price range offer 10 bit recording. In addition, many prospective customers have assumed that, at the beginning of 2018, Canon will submit a 10-bit 4: 2: 2 MXF recording as the C300 Mk2will. Canon himself also showed slides in presentations, which announced an MXF recording on the fast CFast cards. Rather, however, we are faced with the question why Canon has not officially disclosed this quite relevant information on demand. Are there, in the first place, strategic considerations? Would you wait for first sales numbers and pre-orders and then only possible features if the market should not accept the camera well enough? Did you want to spare the C300 Mk2 buyers first? Or Canon itself was not clear whether the 10 bits later would be still? The latter does not seem very probable. And if it is actually only 8 bits, why then back this information first? We think Canon taete well
