This compact camera is the little brother of the versatile C300, but don't let size fool you, it is a smart choice if you are looking to shoot 1080 on a budget. It sports the wonderul color of Canon's Super 35 EOMS sensor, as well as the Log Gamma which allows for 12 stops of dynamic range. And with an improved Digic DV 4 Image Processor and MP4 recording, this one is a fine upgrade from the original C100 model."
