The Canon C300 Mark III is a great camera, no doubt. It is cable of producing a 4K image and features a Super 35mm Dual Gain sensor, which has  up to 16 stops of dynamic range, capable of HDR recording along with low noise. 

It also features an EF lens mount that offers compatibility not only with Canon's broad range of DSLR lenses, but also its line cinema primes, zooms, and even 2.0 and 1.33 anamorphic lenses – and the mount is also interchangeable with a PL mount. Which all sounds amazing… so why don’t I think the Canon C300 Mark III is worth it?
