It also comes with Canon’s next-generation Super 35mm Dual Gain Output sensor, which has a dynamic range of over 16 stops. The camera supports Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma, as well.
Highly versatile with multi-lens adaptability
Lens options abound for the EOS C70. Its built-in RF mount makes it compatible with Canon’s ever-expanding roster of top-notch RF lenses. And it’s also compatible with the brand’s award-winning EF lens series, thanks to the EF-RF optical adapter. This adapter converts light from full-frame to a Super 35mm image format, ensuring you can use the EOS C70 to its fullest with both RF and EF lenses.
Intuitive design for quick and straightforward controlling
Direct touch control gives EOS C70 users quick access to common menu settings, with options for touching the screen to start and stop recording, access file format and resolution, set ISO and gain, choose color temperature and iris, and more. The EOS C70 also supports vertical captures, with an interface built to make vertical shooting feel as natural as horizontal shooting.
An impressive array of built-in features
From built-in mini XLR audio inputs to a neutral density filter system, the EOS C70 has everything filmmakers crave in a camera — and much more.

Beyond this, the camera includes EOS iTR AFX for head detection and Dual Pixel Focus Guide for front-and-back focus information, too.
