Link: DSLR News Shooter | The Canon C100 – expected, not especially cheap, but impressive none the less

Canon today launched their most affordable digital cinema camera to date in the shape of the C100. It is clearly the cheaper sibling of my favorite large sensor news and documentary camera the C300 – but with some features stripped away (although others are added). The C100 has the built-in ND filters and the great ergonomics of its sibling at a much lower cost. The detachable handgrip from the C300 is retained and means you can actually shoot the camera ‘naked’ without any sort of rig and still get some great results.
