I’m Gerald Undone and the noise floor is my dance floor 🕺

I said it once and ill say it again, why doesn't Gerald have 1 million+ subscribers!?! I'm not interested at all in buying this camera and he somehow still got me watching the whole video.

17:17 THANK YOU so much for saying this man. This "which is better" question is annoying sometimes. There are so many variables to determine the answer.

[MartianCitizen]

I feel like i am back in college and I actually have a college professor who can also teach. Of all of them you are the first, and your ability to educate us has long been admired back on the home world. What I know about video could fill a shot glass...and it was filled today by this video. All kidding aside your verbal delivery is nothing short of a Shakespearean photography Romeo and Juliet.
Montague family vs. Capulet family. Canon vs Sony. When You speak in blank verse it is magic....sigh....
As always, keep up the good work and keep'em flying...

Great video Gerald, I still think it's silly that Canon added 8K video on the R5 without any active cooling but limited the C70 to 4K. Honestly, the C70 should have been able to record minimum in 6K and also in RAW to compete with cameras like the RED Komodo. This is a great camera but also a strange one in the Canon Eco system because we know it's capable of doing more.

I just ordered my C70 today. Arrives next week. I am so excited!

[pebmets]

Great review as usual. The Canon manual focus guide is second to none in my opinion. I'm glad they are incorporating it in their newer cameras. I love that you mentioned that the C70 could be what Canon owners have been looking for that is equivalent to what Sony is offering. It doesn't have to have all of the exact same features, but just enough to make it compatible so that Canon owners don't have to completely change systems if they are already heavily invested in the system. Thanks again.

This is the 5th time I’ve watched this video since it dropped and I’ve learned so much and I keep learning more each time I watch.

[LearnLightAndSoundSessions]

I found this video both helpful and entertaining, even at 1.0x. Thanks Gerald! Your perspective is, as always, very helpful!

Hi Gerald, Your reviews are always fantastic and I thank you a lot for making them (from France). There is only one thing that you never talk about, is the ergnomics for TV work like with the camera on the shoulder for an entire day. With all the ports on the side of the operator (like in all DSLR) and the screen on the back of the camera, you have to add an extra EVF + rigging and powering solutions which kill the "run and gun" ergonomics... Of course you can't talk about all ways of using a camera but the "cat over the shoulder" (we french like a lot) seems very important to me when you think about buying a buying a camera. We are not all youtubers. But still, thanks a lot for your contents.

At this point, you're the only gear review channel I can tolerate. A very informative, practical and thorough review.

[JesseDriftwood]

Thank you for not making me regret my purchase :)

[tombuck]

This seems like a killer camera, I just wish it were full frame. Although I have to say, if anything, this almost makes the a7Siii MORE appealing.

[JonnyBarrett]

Forum: I'm new to cinematography, budget is $5k, gonna spend $4500 on a camera body - what's the best lens for $500?

What a fantastic overview. Thanks Gerald for these thorough reviews. 👌🏽

Why have you never reviewed any of the URSAs????

[ShaneHarderPhoto]

It's interesting that you look at the Sony mirrorless cameras as a competitor to the C70. I would have never thought to put them in the same category with built in ND and dual phantom powered mini XLR's. As usual, very robust rundown.

You have THE BEST subscriber vs non-subscriber view ratios I've ever seen.

[Liam_Doherty_Country-Rock]

Hi,
I’m in a dilemma here. I’m considering upgrading, from shooting 4K on an EOS 5D mk4. I’m bewildered by the options. Should I stick with a Canon DSLR, or go with a dedicated movie camera?
I want to shoot music videos and such.

Any advice from pro film makers?

Thank you in anticipation.
