R5. thought this would be a perfect hybrid camera but sadly soon after sony's a1 took over that throne in hybrid game. I feel like c70 isn't fully taking advantage of RF lenses, so I might wait until what's canon's next move going to be. By then I will fall in love deeply with my r5
Using the Canon EOS R - hoped the R5 would get rid of the 30 min record limit but obviously didn’t. I’m crossing my fingers that canon will get there soon. Ps, I know there are alternatives. But I like the hybrid factor. ☺️
The C70 was the first camera I ever used with built in NDs and I can confidently say I understand the hype around them. I’ve always been fine with putting NDs on the outside of my lens until I was exposed to internal and there really is no going back! Your review is spot on
I am so impressed with the footage! I think this will be a go to camera for you! Ive soon the other projects you've filmed on it and it looks soooo good! :) great vid babe!
I feel virtually all the features you mentioned minus shutter angle are done better on the Sony FX6. Better lowlight, better autofocus (notably), the ND is electronic so it automatically shifts from dark to light environments perfectly smoothly, it's got full XLR inputp, more video friendly ergonomics, better high speed modes (it can do 240fps 2k with full sensor readout rather than 180fps on super 16 crop mode like the C70), and with bp-u60 & u90 batteries you get WAY longer run times without having to rig it out with v-mount alternatives. Plus an image that is distinctly less noisy in less than ideal lighting conditions. The Sony color science has caught up & quite frankly I kinda prefer s-cinetone now ocer Canon color, although that's all just preference. I guess it's hard for me to see the advantage unless you're just super invested in Canon RF glass already. I'm stoked you found a camera you like though! At the end of the day, whatever tool gets you out shooting is a winner. 🤙🏻 Edit: I was wrong about the battery life.
Agree unless you are in the Canon system then its not really economical to buy the FX. If I was in the Sony eco system for sure I would get the FX6. The c70 does have some advantages still over the FS6. The fact the XLR are built into the body instead of the handle make it much better for gimbal use. For me Canon colour is still a thing and Sony still looks too digital too crunchy. But over all I do agree if you had lenses for both the FX would be the better out and out camera.
@@MYMEDIATOUR Totally fair. Yeah the C70 is a bit smaller for gimbal stuff and if you prefer Canon colors then there is a lot less hurdles to get that vibe in post. I just don't think I could justify it from the standpoint of investing from scratch.
@@Skapo Watch the hyperbole as well, the C70 actually gets a bit more out of it's batteries than the FX6. 2 hours 40 mins on a BP-A30, and double that with the BP-A60. Sony electronic ND system is incredible, but it's range maxes out at 7 stops instead of the C70's 10 stops. Noise situation with the DGO sensor is vastly improved upon, but for lowlight or nolight Sony is so far ahead of the game it's crazy! Just wanted to mention autofocus too, briefly. It depends on the metric of value. Sony's seems to be slightly quicker than Canon's, however, video after video - when watching the background as the sony focuses - the judder is incredibly distracting. Canon's throw is smoother (though not immune to the judder), which in turns does slow it down. But the judder would be too distracting for me to want to use. For sports/certain types of docs Sony = incredible. I wonder if I'm the only person noticing the background judder with Sony's AF system?
@@emmadale9486 Fair enough on the battery life. I threw an edit on the end of my comment. As for the ND, yes it can go deeper, but it can't smoothly attenuate between environments. Meaning you have to swap filter in between environments if you want to maintain all the other settings. With the FX6 you can walk from a dark environment to a bright one & it will automatically, seemlessly attenuate for you. If you really need that extra 3 stops at the high end then fair point. I suppose with the FX6 being so much more light sensitive the ND should have been stronger, but from all the reviews I have seen the 7 stops crushes it for all but maybe like f/1.2 & lower. As for the noise & judder, in all the videos I have watched Sony crushes Canon in both fields. The c70 doesn't just jutter, it straight up jumps (same with most of the Canon fullframes) & the Sony jutter is easily fixed by just turning the focus speed down in the settings. It only happens in the fastest mode. Interestingly enough the A7SIII actually performs slightly better than the FX6 for autofocus. Btw I don't mean to say that Canon is bad. It's REALLY good AF. It's just that Sony is best in class by a healthy margin. Especially in more dynamic environments. It's why the FX6 & A7SIII are quickly becoming popular for action sports work. (That's my field) Again. C70 is awesome. I honestly think it's rad that between the C70 & R5, Canon is finally deciding to be competitive again after years of absolute forced mediocrity & drastic over pricing per spec. Btw if this were priced at closer to $4k or even $4.5k I'd be singing a different tune because then they would be in different price categories.
Thanks for the review. I'm close to biting. A little worried about the learning curve and ergonomics for a run-and-gunner (I use the GH5M2s). Is there a loupe/EVF you would strongly recommend for the C70?
3:08 Why do you say you can't get that super contrasty look like the R5, isn't it just a matter of color grading or are you referring to the sharpness and not so much the contrast?
Thanks Bro! My cameraman was teaching me the Canon C300 line, but we didn't get very far, because he grew ill and unexpectedly passed away. I'm a director of docs, who has had basic Canon photography experience, and I'm wondering if this would be a good fit for a beginner in cinema cameras? Your images, enthusiasm and advice are incredibly excellent!
Thank You, Thinking about selling my R6 and RF 70-200mm and then getting this. But I have a wedding in 2 weeks, will it be easy to learn? and does it have IBIS?
Im enjoyin my C70! Great cam... Coming from a Canon 5dmkiii.... Life change and filming videos took a backseat for some years but now Im back at it and another life change Im shooting again and more so I had to upgrade! it is soooooo nice to have ND and Audio built in!!!! I have been shooting on it for 3months now and I don't want to go back!
Deciding between R5C vs C70. I have the R5 and I love the 8K. From what I can see other than the resolution, C70 is better than the R5C in every single aspect. But I still just love the 8K so much.
I’m torn between the C70 and the xF605- but I love that the C-70 has E-Mount for interchangeable lenses and can shoot 4K at 4:2:2; 10 bit at 120 Frames per second and those features should also be on the XF605. Canon did this to the Xf605 for a reason. Mess me up because I need both now, and can’t make it with just one.
The two points that is holdiing me back with this camera is the autofocus and the lens mount. It is great they use a RF mount, but this is a real problem, as most current RF lenses are for stills, so you have this multiplication factor with the C70, so you need a short focal length and Canon are not making lenses for this camera in RF. Yes they have just dropped a 16mm so this will be a usable lens. As i have recently got back into photo video, I have mostly RF lenses, and bought them to use on a full frame. So if i bought this camera, i need to buy new, the booster and EF lenses, or work with a 16mm and 35mm (the 35mm not a big fan of). Then there is the not so good autofocus. Yes it may have great roll off but if something is not in focus it is unusable accept for a b roll cut. Now there is the R3 out, this has no real overheating, better focus and raw 6k. So decisions decisions.
Yeah but isn’t the r3 more geared towards photos? Also, 5 months later have canon come out with me video centric lenses? I’m deciding between c70 and fx3
The C70 looks impressive as hell. I've been primarily a stills guy for most of my career but transitioning to more video. I 'm currently running an R5 and C100 MkII. The new job I'm at has a hodge-podge of Canon, Sony, Lumix and a BlackMagic 4k so I'm looking to simplify the gear closet, especially with regard to multi-camera shoots. Trying to match 3 different kinds of files isn't fun! I've been a little disappointed in the R5's tendency to overheat fairly quickly (though I wonder if that's partially a result of writing to the CFAST card) so I tend to stick to stills with that. I'm curious about some of your rigs for the C70 - are you typically working solo?
ive been wanting to get into photography for awhile now and am really thinking about finally getting a good camera, and i was looking at getting the canon r10. is this a good choice?
I would love to be able to add this to my collection one day…I just got the R5 for my birthday yesterday, and as a videographer/content creator and photographer, I know it is what’s best for me right now, and I have truly been loving it! That being said…. after watching this video, I know what I’m saving up for next!
So what’s the benefit of having RF lenses can you get a speed booster that’s compatible with the RF lenses… it seems as though the C 70 is only for people with older Ef lenses… i’m confused lol
Sawyer, do you think I should upgrade from my Canon M6 Mark I😅 to the C70, because I have the chance to film for The Real Life Guys (they have 1,41 Million subscribers) I already sold the GH5 that I had.
Would definitely be an incredibly powerful upgrade. However there are (in my opinion way more aspects to take into consideration - like what lenses do you want to use or have available, what support gear, and what weight are you willing to carry). Ps. Fellow German here. Happy shooting with the real life guys.
@@ChrisSpieglThere is M6 Mark I footage that I shot in their newest video, but it doesn’t match very well with their A7S III footage. For the documentary they use a FX6. I don’t like the FX6 because of the color science, the fact that you have to use the top handle to use the XLRs and I generally prefer the form factor of the C70. Also you have a point with the lenses. I wouldn’t want to adapt EF glass to it. But then I would have to wait for the APS-C RF lenses to come out. Because using full frame RF glass on the C70 seems like a waste to me. Regarding support gear, I would use a stabilised lens for handheld scenarios and when I want to go prime I’d use a glidecam, gimbal or tripod (Maybe I could get away with a prime lens when shooting slow-mo) Regarding weight I think I’d rather have a slightly heavier all-in-one-package than the uncomfortably to hold rig that I used for the community raft video. Yes, for sure I am so grateful for having had the chance to work with the Real Life Guys team and I am exited to work with them on the next video 🙌🏻 Feel free to join us @the next community event :)) Regards from south of Darmstadt, where are you from?
@@sawyerhartman The 2620g body-lens-combo you use, does it also give you stable footage when filming handheld? Even with the 28-70mm f2 not being a stabilised lens.
@@creativecomputers6060 that’s an incredible description. But since APS-C RF lenses are not likely to show up in the next few weeks. 😅 Are you mainly looking to create your own production/documentary or combine with footage they shoot themselves? If it’s the second, I’d go with the camera brand they already use and not try to mix and match. Especially since the RF lineup is currently not complete enough (also meaning the not existence of a full frame cinema camera - unless you’d like to invest into the C70 and EF glass - but you said you don’t want that). ☺️ If you’d like to talk more you can connect with me on my discord server (links are on my channel). And I am based in Hof, upper Franconia.
I'm shooting mostly corporate video with my Canon C100 Mark II, but getting more push to shoot 4k. In your opinion, would this camera beat what I have and are the file size huge making storage and editing difficult? Also, you mentioned that at first you didn't like the camera and now you do. Was it just putting the camera on a tripod or a gimble that made the difference. Thanks and I loved you video.
Excellent vidéo, je suis totalement d'Accords avec toi, j'en n ai acheté une et c'est totalement vrai au début elle semble pas évidente et quand tu commence à shooter avec c'est le bonheur !!! wow !!!
The more video I do, I seem to be wanting a more capable video camera. Upgrading my game from the Canon 6Dm2 to the R5 was huge, the video is amazing, but I still do way more photos. But after doing live streams with the R5 during covid shutdowns, I find myself wanting a much more capable video camera, but don't want to drop $10k on a Canon Cinema camera. This parks me right at the level where the C70 is striking my interest. Sadly, after looking into a new lens for the R5, I just don't have it in my budget for $8k in camera and accessories (like a more capable gimbal, cage, memory cards, ...).
Ok I need your true opinion I am coming into some money soon I wanna know should I get the C70 or the R5C I wanna do More short films and documentary work I hear that the C70 auto focus sucks
Thanks for the review. What about frame rates? Can it shoot 120 at 4k? I do a lot of wildlife shooting so this is important for me. The specs are a little confusing online.
YES but NO. It does it in “slow and fast” mode which means it records and automatically interprets it into 24 fps. So it’s not like the Sony where you can record 120 fps and play it back normally until you want to slow it down. It records everything “in slow motion.” It’s not like recording 4k @ 60 fps where u can just slow down 50% (in a 30 fps timeline) at certain points but the rest plays in 30 fps.
i've shot photo and video on canon in the past and really didn't think the results were great. Currently on a bmpcc6k and Fuji XT4 for photo, but really interested in this camera for the positives you pointed out. However, I'm seeing some serious turquoise fringing on your footage (check the beach scenes, the edge of the palm tree trunks 2:34, 3:20, 4:26) and it has me worried about Canon. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
What SD Cards are you using? I have Pro Grade Digital V90 but I'm getting Buffer Overflow when shooting S&F 120/23.976fps in xf-avc, MP4 works fine. What codec do you use?
NO EVF -NO OPTIONAL EVF - c'mon Canon - I do a lot shooting outside and it's invaluable. Plus the hinge on the display is weak. Sorry to be negative on such a great camera, but what was Canon thinking? I'm disappointed with the lack of shutter speed control too.
The C70 looks great! I've had the C100 Mark II for a while now which is an amazing camera and looking to upgrade or at least update my gear, however I'm struggling to find a camera that has all I'm looking for. I don't understand why this camera for example doesn't have a VF? I usually shoot outdoor in very bright conditions and I find impossible to film without a vf, It's one of the things I love about the C100 which also has internal ND filters. Another thing is internal IS, at least I believe it doesn't have any? If you look at most competitors they now all have some sort of IS, why isn't Canon adding this feature for a small format cinema camera? I get that it's always been impossible to find the camera that has it all but at least these 2 features should be, in my opinion, in any video/film camera within this type of range, like FX3 or C70 etc. Thoughts?
So, I have an R5 & R6, I'm now shooting more & more video.. but still shooting photos often enough to want a bad ass photo centered camera like the R5.. and even the R6 for my lower light stuff. Therefore, I'm not talking about trading either in or selling. I am however finding myself now getting corporate gigs, interview jobs and more video wedding gigs. First: some of my clients are requesting a 3 camera set up. I could buy another R6.. but I'm not.. My R6 can't handle doing long shoots of 4K without me buying an atomos ninja v. I could buy a XA 55 and get by probably. Either way, I need a dedicated video camera and would prefer something that has lots of features that a camcorder might have but also give me the ability to use RF & adapted EF glass plus the ability to take cinema glass. So.. I think the C70 is something I am going to budget for.
Great video man, the image quality (in your video at least) speaks for itself. I'm an old photographer, having very little video experience, wishing to get into videography more seriously (travelling, documentaries and occasional wedding/reporting kind of things). So i'm contemplating all my options at the moment with a 10k budget give or take. I love the Sony system and form factor, but if i'm honest Canon's colour science has always been more pleasant to my eye. This being said up to now, the recording time limit and over heating issues kept me away from even considering Canon. So in that respect this C-70 looks quite promising, 2 questions though if you care to answer; 1-) Would it be possible to use a regular Ronin gimbal with this camera ? (not thinking about using very long lenses on it of course). 2-) After watching Carlos Quintero's video minutes ago entitled Buyers remorses where he goes on about how bad (noisy and reduced dynamic range) the 4k 120fps is, related to the BGO sensor having to be turned off or something, i have doubts now, not that i plan to do a lot of 120fps shooting, 4k 60 would be enough for me 99% of the time i suppose, but it would still be nice to know in advance just how usable it is in real life applications. Curious to hear your thoughts on that and if this issue alone would be any kind of a deal breaker. At any rate thank's for sharing this video, was sure fun to watch.
hi, great view and advice and you have made up my mind to get the c70, so thank you. Have you got a link to the adaptor mount please as I can't seem to find ef-eos r 0.7 (as shown in your video) only the ef-eos r? thank you
@@creativecomputers6060 Outdoor portraits. Basic stuff model in slow-motion posing no audio just music track. Easy to do looks effective. Nothing special.
I almost believe you, but i would love to see an A and B of both cameras side by side. B/c I am sure if you slap on a Nisi filter you would get the r5 to bloom and look softer. As for usage on TH-cam for content it is a total waste. Honestly, makes no difference. Like bringing a Red to film your kids birthday party at the beach-- a phone would do the job. Talk short film or docs.
So true, 4k is almost a waste on TH-cam. For me, the camera needs to be workable, the poor autofocus, no ev and multiplication factor for lenses is turning me away from this camera. I have invested in RF glass and there is not many options for this camera apart from the 16mm and 35mm, if you want to keep the camera small. The R3 is out, comparing this.
oh my god i love your videos what an iq....i am on r5....i think the only thing r5 has now it 8k 12 bit raw for the colour .....but i think your right c70 is the only camera 99% need
Hey Sawyer, what lenses are you using. Looks like cinema lenses to my untrained eyes. 😅 Thanks for such a great video. I think you’ve sold me on the C70. Oh snap - I just heard you say “Canon Cinema Primes” in the video! OK, cool. 🤣🤣 Thanks again! ✊🏾
Looks great. I wonder though if there are no limitations shooting outdoor in bright ligth without a viewfinder. AF in certain situations can be quite tricky. - But yes, some C 70 users I know confirm, this is a great camera.
Yeah, i live on Australia, and this bothers me also. There is no histogram, to expose to so if you can't see the colour on the screen, you are stuffed. Also reviewing clips will be hard. I get this camera gets great footage, but have reservations moving to this camera for my use case.
@@sawyerhartmanI currently use the 18-135mm f3.5 on both my a6400 and 6600. I’m wanting to get the Ultra Wide 10 to 18 because of the crop factor so I can get into more real estate shoots and I would like a 24-70 and possibly and 70-200 LOL but it’s a work in process. I just ordered the new M1 iMac so I will have to wait for a bit :)
@@waynosfotos Remember there is no autofocus anyway on quality cinema lenses. Just saying :-) I will choose Dynamic range over autofocus any time. (Image quality is key)
@@OppositeDreams i am comparing it to the new R3, and it is better in almost ever way. I get it is a hybrid. But i am a one man show and the features are better for less money (if you include the booster) I get the Dynamic range is good, but the R3 has unlimited raw I have watch almost every review on the C70. It just doesn't cut it for the money.
FX3 blows it outta water. No nd filter but meh I shutter up and can barely notice the difference. Sure shutter angle you can do but in slow motion there’s little to no difference shooting wide open at 1.8

Canon 6d, because that’s what I have..

You should see what fx6 auto nd is like. Also full frame. No brainer
Once you have built-in NDs you can never go back!
R5 and C70 is how I roll. I can cover all the bases. The image from the C70 when exposed correctly is stunning!!!
Same here! I love both!
Key word here being: "when exposed correctly". ☺☺
I use a Canon M50 mark 2 but after watching this video, it looks like I need a Canon C70. That picture quality is out of this world!
I loved this review. First guy to be honest about his opinion instead of "well it's your choice what's good"

So if i bought this camera, i need to buy new, the booster and EF lenses, or work with a 16mm and 35mm (the 35mm not a big fan of).
Then there is the not so good autofocus. Yes it may have great roll off but if something is not in focus it is unusable accept for a b roll cut.
Now there is the R3 out, this has no real overheating, better focus and raw 6k.
So decisions decisions.
Yeah but isn’t the r3 more geared towards photos? Also, 5 months later have canon come out with me video centric lenses? I’m deciding between c70 and fx3
@@ryansulak I was deciding between the C70 and FX3 but I think I’m gonna go with the R3 and C70 or R3 and R5C.
This follow focus you have, how are you controlling it? what brand is it?
The C70 looks impressive as hell. I've been primarily a stills guy for most of my career but transitioning to more video. I
'm currently running an R5 and C100 MkII. The new job I'm at has a hodge-podge of Canon, Sony, Lumix and a BlackMagic 4k so I'm looking to simplify the gear closet, especially with regard to multi-camera shoots. Trying to match 3 different kinds of files isn't fun! I've been a little disappointed in the R5's tendency to overheat fairly quickly (though I wonder if that's partially a result of writing to the CFAST card) so I tend to stick to stills with that.
I'm curious about some of your rigs for the C70 - are you typically working solo?
ive been wanting to get into photography for awhile now and am really thinking about finally getting a good camera, and i was looking at getting the canon r10. is this a good choice?
I would love to be able to add this to my collection one day…I just got the R5 for my birthday yesterday, and as a videographer/content creator and photographer, I know it is what’s best for me right now, and I have truly been loving it! That being said…. after watching this video, I know what I’m saving up for next!
Love my C70! The image is gorgeous. Files easy to handle, and with the adapter you get a full frame field of view.
So what’s the benefit of having RF lenses can you get a speed booster that’s compatible with the RF lenses… it seems as though the C 70 is only for people with older Ef lenses… i’m confused lol
Great video i love it
Men , thanks for the review, I use fx3 and a7siii but still Loki Lin for a portable cine camera, and definitly c70 is the one.
Sawyer, do you think I should upgrade from my Canon M6 Mark I😅 to the C70, because I have the chance to film for The Real Life Guys (they have 1,41 Million subscribers) I already sold the GH5 that I had.
Would definitely be an incredibly powerful upgrade. However there are (in my opinion way more aspects to take into consideration - like what lenses do you want to use or have available, what support gear, and what weight are you willing to carry).
Ps. Fellow German here. Happy shooting with the real life guys.
Honestly it will matter a lot on lens you get to! I use the 28-70 for almost everything and its incredible with the c70!
@@ChrisSpieglThere is M6 Mark I footage that I shot in their newest video, but it doesn’t match very well with their A7S III footage. For the documentary they use a FX6. I don’t like the FX6 because of the color science, the fact that you have to use the top handle to use the XLRs and I generally prefer the form factor of the C70.
Also you have a point with the lenses. I wouldn’t want to adapt EF glass to it. But then I would have to wait for the APS-C RF lenses to come out. Because using full frame RF glass on the C70 seems like a waste to me.
Regarding support gear, I would use a stabilised lens for handheld scenarios and when I want to go prime I’d use a glidecam, gimbal or tripod (Maybe I could get away with a prime lens when shooting slow-mo)
Regarding weight I think I’d rather have a slightly heavier all-in-one-package than the uncomfortably to hold rig that I used for the community raft video.
Yes, for sure I am so grateful for having had the chance to work with the Real Life Guys team and I am exited to work with them on the next video 🙌🏻
Feel free to join us @the next community event :))
Regards from south of Darmstadt, where are you from?
@@sawyerhartman The 2620g body-lens-combo you use, does it also give you stable footage when filming handheld? Even with the 28-70mm f2 not being a stabilised lens.
@@creativecomputers6060 that’s an incredible description. But since APS-C RF lenses are not likely to show up in the next few weeks. 😅
Are you mainly looking to create your own production/documentary or combine with footage they shoot themselves? If it’s the second, I’d go with the camera brand they already use and not try to mix and match. Especially since the RF lineup is currently not complete enough (also meaning the not existence of a full frame cinema camera - unless you’d like to invest into the C70 and EF glass - but you said you don’t want that). ☺️
If you’d like to talk more you can connect with me on my discord server (links are on my channel).

Yo! Could I ask what Focus motor that is you are using? How are you pulling with it? is that a wheel on the backside?
I'm shooting mostly corporate video with my Canon C100 Mark II, but getting more push to shoot 4k. In your opinion, would this camera beat what I have and are the file size huge making storage and editing difficult? Also, you mentioned that at first you didn't like the camera and now you do. Was it just putting the camera on a tripod or a gimble that made the difference. Thanks and I loved you video.
Excellent vidéo, je suis totalement d'Accords avec toi, j'en n ai acheté une et c'est totalement vrai au début elle semble pas évidente et quand tu commence à shooter avec c'est le bonheur !!! wow !!!
The more video I do, I seem to be wanting a more capable video camera. Upgrading my game from the Canon 6Dm2 to the R5 was huge, the video is amazing, but I still do way more photos.
But after doing live streams with the R5 during covid shutdowns, I find myself wanting a much more capable video camera, but don't want to drop $10k on a Canon Cinema camera. This parks me right at the level where the C70 is striking my interest. Sadly, after looking into a new lens for the R5, I just don't have it in my budget for $8k in camera and accessories (like a more capable gimbal, cage, memory cards, ...).
Hello what is the cine lens you have on the C70 for this vidéo thank you
Ok I need your true opinion I am coming into some money soon I wanna know should I get the C70 or the R5C I wanna do More short films and documentary work I hear that the C70 auto focus sucks
The Canon website Shop doesn't even carry the C70. So where do you get it?
Yo Sawyer is this still your go to cinema camera??
Does the C200 have a better AF than the C70? Thanks!
Thanks for the review. What about frame rates? Can it shoot 120 at 4k? I do a lot of wildlife shooting so this is important for me. The specs are a little confusing online.
YES but NO. It does it in “slow and fast” mode which means it records and automatically interprets it into 24 fps. So it’s not like the Sony where you can record 120 fps and play it back normally until you want to slow it down. It records everything “in slow motion.” It’s not like recording 4k @ 60 fps where u can just slow down 50% (in a 30 fps timeline) at certain points but the rest plays in 30 fps.
@@karimsaleh7034 thank you so much for responding, that is super helpful!
i've shot photo and video on canon in the past and really didn't think the results were great. Currently on a bmpcc6k and Fuji XT4 for photo, but really interested in this camera for the positives you pointed out. However, I'm seeing some serious turquoise fringing on your footage (check the beach scenes, the edge of the palm tree trunks 2:34, 3:20, 4:26) and it has me worried about Canon. Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
What SD Cards are you using? I have Pro Grade Digital V90 but I'm getting Buffer Overflow when shooting S&F 120/23.976fps in xf-avc, MP4 works fine. What codec do you use?
NO EVF -NO OPTIONAL EVF - c'mon Canon - I do a lot shooting outside and it's invaluable. Plus the hinge on the display is weak. Sorry to be negative on such a great camera, but what was Canon thinking? I'm disappointed with the lack of shutter speed control too.
The C70 looks great! I've had the C100 Mark II for a while now which is an amazing camera and looking to upgrade or at least update my gear, however I'm struggling to find a camera that has all I'm looking for. I don't understand why this camera for example doesn't have a VF? I usually shoot outdoor in very bright conditions and I find impossible to film without a vf, It's one of the things I love about the C100 which also has internal ND filters. Another thing is internal IS, at least I believe it doesn't have any? If you look at most competitors they now all have some sort of IS, why isn't Canon adding this feature for a small format cinema camera? I get that it's always been impossible to find the camera that has it all but at least these 2 features should be, in my opinion, in any video/film camera within this type of range, like FX3 or C70 etc. Thoughts?
Yesss!! Happy Sunday dude!
Hey Joli!!! Thanks for dropping by!! This camera is a beast!! I know youd love it!
@@sawyerhartman it’s such an awesome camera!
your videos are so awesome i think that you need to upload more frequently
So there is nothing negative about this camera to say?
Autofocus may be a hint? 🤔
No auto focus?
nope its as good as the 1dx mark ii which was my favorite ever!
@@sawyerhartman Also since the firmware update it has amazing face tracking AF..mine had awesome AF before the firmware
So, I have an R5 & R6, I'm now shooting more & more video.. but still shooting photos often enough to want a bad ass photo centered camera like the R5.. and even the R6 for my lower light stuff. Therefore, I'm not talking about trading either in or selling.
I am however finding myself now getting corporate gigs, interview jobs and more video wedding gigs. First: some of my clients are requesting a 3 camera set up. I could buy another R6.. but I'm not.. My R6 can't handle doing long shoots of 4K without me buying an atomos ninja v. I could buy a XA 55 and get by probably.
Either way, I need a dedicated video camera and would prefer something that has lots of features that a camcorder might have but also give me the ability to use RF & adapted EF glass plus the ability to take cinema glass. So.. I think the C70 is something I am going to budget for.
What luts were you using for the C70 shots?
If I had a model like that even my Canon XL2 would look cinematic
I was even thinking of my iPhone 4.
Great video man, the image quality (in your video at least) speaks for itself. I'm an old photographer, having very little video experience, wishing to get into videography more seriously (travelling, documentaries and occasional wedding/reporting kind of things). So i'm contemplating all my options at the moment with a 10k budget give or take. I love the Sony system and form factor, but if i'm honest Canon's colour science has always been more pleasant to my eye. This being said up to now, the recording time limit and over heating issues kept me away from even considering Canon. So in that respect this C-70 looks quite promising, 2 questions though if you care to answer; 1-) Would it be possible to use a regular Ronin gimbal with this camera ? (not thinking about using very long lenses on it of course). 2-) After watching Carlos Quintero's video minutes ago entitled Buyers remorses where he goes on about how bad (noisy and reduced dynamic range) the 4k 120fps is, related to the BGO sensor having to be turned off or something, i have doubts now, not that i plan to do a lot of 120fps shooting, 4k 60 would be enough for me 99% of the time i suppose, but it would still be nice to know in advance just how usable it is in real life applications. Curious to hear your thoughts on that and if this issue alone would be any kind of a deal breaker. At any rate thank's for sharing this video, was sure fun to watch.
Do you thing c70 is a perfect match w the tilta float?
What's is the name of that wide lens you have.
hi, great view and advice and you have made up my mind to get the c70, so thank you. Have you got a link to the adaptor mount please as I can't seem to find ef-eos r 0.7 (as shown in your video) only the ef-eos r? thank you
why not the black magic
love the Canon repinggg
How does C70 compares to ZCAM E2 F6?
I already own this, but you sold me on It again🤣🤣
How is the auto focus with sigma lens?
I'm happy with my R6 new firmware added c log3. Also you can use canon ND adapter if you use EF glass
Have you ever missed a shot due to overheating?
@@creativecomputers6060 I don't shoot long videos mostly BTS. Camera getting worm but don't overheated on me yet.
@@TomasRamoska Great 😀 BTS of what if I may ask?
@@creativecomputers6060 Outdoor portraits. Basic stuff model in slow-motion posing no audio just music track. Easy to do looks effective. Nothing special.
You definitely want that camera free from Canon. 😁
I almost believe you, but i would love to see an A and B of both cameras side by side. B/c I am sure if you slap on a Nisi filter you would get the r5 to bloom and look softer. As for usage on TH-cam for content it is a total waste. Honestly, makes no difference. Like bringing a Red to film your kids birthday party at the beach-- a phone would do the job. Talk short film or docs.
So true, 4k is almost a waste on TH-cam.
For me, the camera needs to be workable, the poor autofocus, no ev and multiplication factor for lenses is turning me away from this camera. I have invested in RF glass and there is not many options for this camera apart from the 16mm and 35mm, if you want to keep the camera small.
The R3 is out, comparing this.
The best look is contrasty, with flatter/smooth highlights
Rolling or global shutter?
What follow focus system is that he is using ?
Which lenses do you use with it?
oh my god i love your videos what an iq....i am on r5....i think the only thing r5 has now it 8k 12 bit raw for the colour .....but i think your right c70 is the only camera 99% need
does C70 has DCI raw output to external recorder? decent connector for external battery?
They are updating the camera to shoot raw internally in March 😃
Hey Sawyer, what lenses are you using. Looks like cinema lenses to my untrained eyes. 😅 Thanks for such a great video. I think you’ve sold me on the C70.
Oh snap - I just heard you say “Canon Cinema Primes” in the video! OK, cool. 🤣🤣 Thanks again! ✊🏾
Glad to hear you found "the one" 😁
The built in NDs are IT FOR ME!
Can you share what the rail mount is?
“It’s absolutely disgusting” 😂😂
Looks great. I wonder though if there are no limitations shooting outdoor in bright ligth without a viewfinder. AF in certain situations can be quite tricky. - But yes, some C 70 users I know confirm, this is a great camera.
Yeah, i live on Australia, and this bothers me also.
There is no histogram, to expose to so if you can't see the colour on the screen, you are stuffed.
Also reviewing clips will be hard.
I get this camera gets great footage, but have reservations moving to this camera for my use case.
What’s up Sawyer man how are you? I’m currently shooting on the Sony a6400 and a6600.My B cameras are the iPhone 12 Pro Max and the GoPro Hero 7 Black
what lens on that a6400????
@@sawyerhartmanI currently use the 18-135mm f3.5 on both my a6400 and 6600. I’m wanting to get the Ultra Wide 10 to 18 because of the crop factor so I can get into more real estate shoots and I would like a 24-70 and possibly and 70-200 LOL but it’s a work in process. I just ordered the new M1 iMac so I will have to wait for a bit :)
Excellent review,it Will be my next purchase,in 4:07mn can you give me the models of this lens thanks
Useful on the c70.
How is the autofocus when underexposed or in low light?
On my C70 camera it is not that good. But I dont use auto focus in low light anyway..
Not good, people say it is not even as good as the EOS R. I have this camera, and if i am dropping this sort of cash i want better autofocus.
@@waynosfotos Remember there is no autofocus anyway on quality cinema lenses. Just saying :-) I will choose Dynamic range over autofocus any time. (Image quality is key)
@@OppositeDreams i am comparing it to the new R3, and it is better in almost ever way. I get it is a hybrid. But i am a one man show and the features are better for less money (if you include the booster)
I get the Dynamic range is good, but the R3 has unlimited raw I have watch almost every review on the C70. It just doesn't cut it for the money.
I love your videos my wallet hates them 😂 Thanks for another great insight and beautiful imagery Sawyer!
Welp, I'm sold.
i want a horizon level in this camera
🌚
i wonder how much it cost here in the philippines. wish canon has a budget friendly version with that quality hahaa
Cool thanks
Unlimited recording?
Havent hit a limit yet!
@@sawyerhartman ok awesome. Thanks
Toast for toaster
Love the hair! How’s your real life going?
FX3 blows it outta water. No nd filter but meh I shutter up and can barely notice the difference. Sure shutter angle you can do but in slow motion there’s little to no difference shooting wide open at 1.8
But the price for amateur videographer and filmmaker is too much (meaning you get money from other job).
You need an external audio recorder for. Wav
Bro I'm still shooting on a gh4.
🎥 ➡️ 📹 ➡️ 📷 ➡️ 📱❗️🤦🏽♂️

What a shame it's not full frame and has no raw capability. :(
This is not better than Sony A7 S 3 that is a full frame hand Cannon c70 is a crop sensor and this is too costly
Is that your woman? If so, good job.
