Great video. I'm a c70 shooter as well. I've watched a lot of c80 videos and this is the first one to talk about digital IS, the gyro, and the level, which I didn't realize were featured in this camera.
I really appreciate your comment! I'd like to go more in depth in a second video. Any specifics I can cover that you'd be interested in? I want to show a side-by-side of the Digital IS but I'm unsure how to control for the variables that are inherent in shaky movement.
@@DavidEllsDP I wouldn't mind seeing a quick and dirty IS comparison even if it's not a perfect test. Maybe hand held standing still and then a walking shot with both cameras.
The dummy battery adaptor looks like a game changer for weight distribution! Will have to check it out - always interested in peoples little game changing objects/accessories, so if you have any more, I'd love to see a video!
Yeah it’s arguably a better image than the C80 in certain high dynamic range scenarios. For me the benefits of triple base ISO, 6K oversampling and full frame tick my A cam boxes, but C70 is a dream B cam. I’ll continue to use it 30% of the time most likely.
Some extra thoughts: some weird things that the C70 has which the C80 does not: -view assist in playback mode -assignable select dial (back at the bottom) Wooden Camera Top Plate: My thumb has some difficulty getting under it to access the power button. A little annoying.

Amazing. I'm glad you said so. I'm gonna start making a list of little game-changers for video topics. Are you A C70/80 shooter as well?
I just bought the C70. The price dropped and became more affordable. Even with the limitations I still love it.

Stupid question: how do you activate the level? Very helpful video.
Go to the display menu > custom display 1 > level (bar).
I also upped the level sensitivity in the last menu with the gear icon to 2x.
