Hi all,

C4D tutorials were never easy to find, and those tutorials are almost never project-based. Probably that is the reason amateur people do not use it a lot, as the training is delivered in closed circles through limited classroom teaching.
CmiVFX does have some tutorials that you could call project-based, though it leaves a lot to be answered, but due the instructor's terrible accent, it sometimes gets a little hard to watch; nothing impossible to understand though.
Lynda course does teach you some basics, yeah. But unless what you are trying to do is totally lame looking and not even nearly presentable to knowledgeable critique, I am not sure how Larry Mitchell's DVD can help you. He is not very good with Cinema4D himself, and unlike in some really authoritative tutorials, the mini-projects he walks you through are laughably lame. He makes a spoon for you, but you can never actually use it in a scene even as a prehistoric stirring device
I kind of gave up hope on Cinema 4D a few years back.The software has great potential, but that is difficult to harness.

i do not completely agree with you.
Nowadays you can find quite a few good tutorials leveling from basic to advanced.
The software is not so difficult to master. If you want to go pro (character animation and such) I'm not sure Cinema is the best option for you. Although the last tutorial (that comes with the software when you buy it) show that you can use Cinema for professional rigging.
The tutorials that you can find rage from free (mostly on the web) to payable (lynda, fluff, cineversity).
i would advise anyone who will start with Cinema 4D to check-out the free tutorials on the web like cinema4D cafe. You can learn a lot from just these tutorials.
If you are convinced in using Cinema you can check-out the Lynda.com tutorials with are pretty good for basic stuff.
On the creative cow website you can find many advanced (i.e. usage of Mocca) tutorials with are very good and very free of charge.
The Fluff tutorials are a nice addition to go that extra strech, but still quite basic and pricy.
The CmiVFX has a nice range of tutorials that are quite advanced. The accent doesn't bother me at all.
The stuff you can do in Cinema these days equals the other 3D software.
Cinema is very stable and has a very good and intuitive interface design.
