Firmware Version 1.0.8.1.00 incorporates the following fixes and improvements:
Gates release images of the EOS C300/C500 underwater housings.
Specifically designed for the Canon EOS C300 and C500 cameras, the Gates C300/C500 housing is the latest in underwater imaging for TV and big screen productions. The C300/C500 shares many features with its cinema cousins including full camera and lens control, support for a wide variety of Canon and PL mount lenses and Gates Precision ports for no-compromises image quality. Gates ‘bulletproof’ durability is naturally inherent in the C300/C500 for ‘got the shot’ confidence.

It's still a great review even nine months later! Funny and to the point!
Comparison test between Canon C300 and Sony F3
Got talked into DPing a short today with "The Dark Knight's" David Dastmalchian for the "Dances With Films Festival Competition" had to shoot, edit, grade, mix and deliver a 3 minute short in a hotel conference room, in 4 hours. We actually pulled it off, and it ain't half bad. Canon sponsored the event, and supplied us with 2 C300s, a battery of EF Lenses, and a rep on hand for tech support.
My experience shooting with one:
A quick learning curve, granted I had a Canon rep there to help out finding things, and when at one point, I questioned my exposure out loud, she said,
"...just use the waveform monitor."
I think I just stood there and blinked a few times, dumbly, at her....."This thing has a waveform monitor built in?"
"Yeah, just push the little 'wfm' button on the side."
I almost became a canon fan...but as good as this cam is, it's not worth the asking price.... It really does produce some nice looking footage, that grades really well. But for $16,000 it oughtta. It also OUGHT to play audio during playback, which it doesn't. The controls take some getting used to, but for the most part it's a very smart design - nice and light, not too happy with the choice of lenses. It really needs a PL mount option that is not a factory hard mount, but interchangeable. The Waveform monitor is really awesome!! Almost as awesome as False Color, easy to read, and easy to toggle on and off. Same with peaking and zebras, nice on/off toggles on the side of the cam.
Doesn't handle highlights as well as the advertised 12 stops would lead one to believe, BUT it is better in that dept than the 5D, 7D... and, I have to admit, the GH2.
It's my first post so first and foremost thank Mr Kiselev and all others for making all this happening ! really!
