10 Reasons to buy the Canon C70

I shoot on the c70 from time to time and it has become one of my favorite cameras to use for all the reasons you listed. Such a feature packed camera for a great price!

The image out of these things always looks so good. Really wish Sony had some sort of hybrid between the FX3 and FX6

Great video Thomas! I always enjoy shooting with the C70. It's one of my favorite cameras.

Awesome summary, Thomas! Loved shooting on mine for the past 2 years.

Do you ever run any other ISO below 800? When using any lens 2.8 or above, I've found it a little fiddly to change exposure with just the internal ND & iris whilst maintaining a shallow DOF. I've recently started rocking the ISO a little more but wondered how much dynamic range might get lost beyond that native 800.

Rock and roll, dude!

Canon C70 is the only camera with good internal NDs, 10 bit all-i and raw, great dynamic range and noise performance, and great autofocus.

Sony uses heavy noise reduction to get their dynamic range numbers and you can really tell. Also the evnd on the fx6 only goes to 6 stops, has a bit of color shift, and doesn't work properly with a polarizer.

Really waiting on another compact camera to do all of this. Ronin 4D does it but that's a really big camera and the AF isn't as consistent. Maybe the FX3 II or S1H II. In the mean time, C70 is where it's at and I'll keep dreaming.

Hey, I love your work thanks for the video. May I offer one critique, you can get 4 channels of audio in HEVC it is just not logical where it is. I learned about this in Sound it Out Films C70 course. A small note, if you run the HEVC the bit rate of the audio is slightly lower in case that matters.

I've been looking at the C70 since it came out. I started shooting with the Panasonic GH5. I went to the BMPCC4K. And lately I'm shooting with the Sony FX30. All great choices. But, Canon always has some of the best skin tones. And having internal ND's really makes run n gun filmmaking so much easier. Plus, the 12-bit internal RAW is a great feature alone. Thanks for sharing your experience.

My Favorite! Go get it! Nice video..

Loved this camera when I had it!

Solid points bro

I own it too. Very good camera works great with the gimbal.

Great watch, thanks. Been seriously toying with the idea of getting a second C70 so I don't have to pair mine with my R7 for weddings... It's insane just how far ahead this camera is. The R7 is indiscernible from R5 footage, and the C70 blows it out of the water.

Great video as always :), How do u decide witch camera u pick for a project? The focal reducer wont make the rf full frame lenses full frame right? For ex. the rf 50 mm will be around 70-75mm? Many thanks

I have a C70 and love it for all those reasons except for form factor. It's still uncomfortable after a few years of shooting with it, but it does fit nicely into my bag.

I bought the c70 to film sports and love the super 35 aspect esecially for football!

Hey man, thank you for this video! What lens would you recommend for commercial work?

Bro, love this! So many people hate on the C70. I have 2 C300mkiii's and LOVE them. I'm looking at getting 2 C70's for more run and gun stuff.

Great film!! Really good!! Beautiful footage! Do you have any videos on how you recommend to get the most out of the C70? Many thanks

great video, the one and only thing I don't like the dslr form factor, I wish it was a rectangle with a rotating handle option

Great notes - I wish the C70 had a EVF and full sized XLRs but your experience, and the legit firmware updates really makes me want to buy one. Have you have any problems with SD cards not keeping up with the various file options? I've heard complaints on this. What cards do you recommend ?
