    Recently was on a shoot with a C300 mk2. Be warned that its output options are weirdly limiting: https://www.facebook.com/DavidCMPeterson/photos/a.277946442237979.73677.260284580670832/1254780901221190/?type=3

    When a VPG130 CFast card is used simultaneously with a non VPG130 CFast card the camera may freeze. If the camera freezes, even if the live view image is displayed, all buttons and switches, including the POWER switch, will no longer respond, and the footage will not be recorded on the cards. (The time code and the recording indicator may continue to work.)

    The camera can be released from the freeze condition by detaching it from the power supply (or removing the battery)

    Workaround

    If you experience this phenomenon please follow the steps below:

    • Detach the camera from the power supply or remove the battery.
    • Remove both CFast cards from the card slots.
    • Use two of the same type of CFast cards: Either VPG130 or non VPG130.
    • Note: If there is only one CFast card inserted, you may continue use with no issues.

    Affected Products

    EOS C300 Mark II/EOS C300 Mark II PL Digital Cinema Cameras (with Firmware V1.0.6.1.00).

    We are planning to release updated firmware in mid-May 2017.

    I thought by now Canon would realize they need to include more than 120fps @ FHD on a camera this expensive. They've always lagged with implementing higher frame rates, though.
