If you need a decent camera and also have a collection of PL lenses, this news might be something for you: The Canon C300 Mark II PL (from 2015) has received another price drop over at B&H: $2,000 off! So now you can get a new (but not the latest model) C300 Mark II with PL mount for just $4,999. The EF version still sells for $6,999. The Canon C300 Mark II is still a very capable camera and the only real drawback might be the native PL mount. Most shooters (myself included) got a C300 Mark II back in the day to make use of existing EF glass with it. But if you already own a few PL lenses, well, you’re getting a still superb camera, especially for that price. Canon C300 Mark II PL price drop Over the years, the Canon C300 Mark II, just like any other camera, has seen some price drops. Business as usual I’d say. But this new price of under $5,000 for the PL version seems a bit mind-boggling to me. I believe this camera once sold for $15,000 when it was launched in 2015. I think Canon did a good job with the EF version, but maybe they had trouble selling the PL version, and that could be the reason for the recent price cut for just that PL version, not the EF version.
