Canon C300 MKIII - Base Kit
Canon has been the go-to for a long time for documentary and long form work because their cameras are small, easy to use and have great codec options. The C300 mkIII dials it all up to 11 with its amazing picture quality and ease of use.
It has all the bells and whistles you would expect from a Canon camera - dual pixel autofocus, 4K recording, dual gain sensor and high frame rate options (up to 120fps) just to name a few.
The line between documentary and cinema has been shrinking away over the last few years and Canon have adapted to this by giving the features you love for fast shooting environments but also giving you cinema level image quality in a small form factor setup.
