Why the Canon C70 is still my favorite camera! 1 Year Review

My review of the Canon C70 after 1 year of use.

I realize after uploading that I did not touch on lowlight performance. I have no complaints on lowlight performance. The DGO sensor really helps push the image in lowlight situations as seen in most of the concert footage that I have in this video.

Thanks for watching!

To be honest it's just a better and more complete pro version of komodo. In my personal experience, c70 can basically do everything komodo can with way better user experience and operation interface, no need to rig up anything, you already got all you need for most of the pro work that already packed inside c70 which you need to spend a lot more extra cash and add more weight and size and complx with komodo. And let's talk about the DGO sensor, my gosh, the low noise in dark is just belows my fx6 fx3 away. Komodo is not even at the same level when talk about noise. And if people asking about colour, raw, etc, Come on, please dont live in 5~8 years ago, if you use pro equipment, you should be able to match any camera to another camera easily, maybe not 100%, but really acceptable. And the log is powerful enough, if you really mess up your shooting that beyond the capability of clog2, then the image probably wont look good at red raw anyways .

Just bought this in 2024, still the best option in the price range IMO. The obsession with full frame and 8k is bizarre. The new Alexa which is now being used on tons of hollywood productions is S35 with a 4k sensor.

Unless I’m misunderstanding what you’re needing, you can output a clean feed over HDMI while your internal/LCD still displays all your info. In Menu> Monitoring Setup> OSD Output: HDMI - turn it off. I also have this mapped to button #6 (zebra) so that I can quickly toggle on/off the OSD over HDMI.

The latest Canon C70 update on Dec. 7th now allows eye detection AF. Keeps getting better and better.

It’s got eye detection autofocus now! Canon has been handling up with the C70 firmware updates.

Had a glance at some of those concert clips in "Low Light" and they look fantastic! I've been looking around online and a general consensus seems to be to shoot in CLOG3 as it doesn't have as much highlight detail retention and therefor more forgiving shadow details. Could you maybe comment on your lowlight shooting set-up in CLOG2? Had had some troubles with it on a previous project and just curious to see how you get your results! :) thanks

Can you use focus magnification during recording?

[Tommyk]

Great video! Where did you get your film burn/light leak overlays

[joedoe]

What lenses do u prefer? What in lowlight? Do u use rf or ef lenses with speed booster?

[HardcastleCreatives]

Great video! 🔥 For the 6 months I got to use that camera this year were amazing. Kinda miss canon 🤔

[BryanBenoitPhoto]

I suspect that you really like this camera 😅

[eternalstudios]

What’s your favourite lens recommendations? I have a sigma 18-35, but it misses focus a fair amount.

[Slipsch]

If you love the C70, you will love the Red Komodo X with the Electronic ND attachment and XLR attachment apart from the autofocus. But it's different amount of money but an upgrade indeed.

Very helpful. Thanks for creating it.

If you don’t mind a novice question, does the lack of a clean feed mean that I can’t record to external SSDs? My current c100 mark 2 allows this. Thanks.

This is a good camera. Someone is selling one and I wanted to learn more about it. Thanks for sharing.

[YoureNowOnTV]

Thanks for this video. 😀👍
How do you store or archive footage?🧐

[JonnyRoams]

Great video dude! Love hearing your insights on camera gear

[Asyouwere]

Love your videos, but say run and gun one more time...

[dushyantbhatt]

whats up with the focus ?? he seems to be not be in focus

[garrettpete]

What features do you suppose will be part of the successor to the C70? When do you think it might come out? I’ve largely got the C70 and R5 C in mind for this
