About Canon EOS C70
The Canon EOS C70 fills the gap between Canon’s Cinema EOS lineup and the mirrorless RF system, offering impressive cinema features in a compact and lightweight body with an RF-lens mount. The C70 is built around a 4K Super 35 Dual Gain Output sensor that delivers outstanding dynamic range and low-light performance, with a very fast and accurate Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that uses Canon’s EOS iTR AF X to deliver top-tier focusing performance. Canon Log 2 and Log 3 gamuts and DCI 4K60p shooting make this camera an excellent choice for a solo shooter or someone looking to add a camera to a larger production, and numerous connectivity options like dual mini-XLR inputs and dual UHS-II SD card slots improve usability across nearly any type of project.
Dual Gain Output Sensor
At the heart of Canon’s EOS C70 is its revolutionary 4K Super 35 Dual Gain Output (DGO) CMOS sensor. Unlike a traditional image sensor, the DGO sensor reads every pixel using two separate amplification circuits before combining that information into a single image. While one circuit prioritizes highlight detail, the other maximizes shadow information, which results in an image with exceptional dynamic range. This makes the C70 incredibly capable when it comes to capturing high-contrast scenes while maintaining clean shadows and smooth highlights. This sensor pairs with Canon’s DIGIC DV7 image processor, which helps to deliver fast readouts at high framerates, excellent autofocus performance, and more.
4K Recording Formats
The EOS C70 offers numerous pro-level recording formats that can support nearly any production workflow. To start, DCI 4K60p recording allows for wider capture, while creators wanting to capture faster framerates can utilize UHD 4K120p with 10-bit 4:2:2 color sampling in addition to Full HD recording up to 180fps. The E70 also has a Super16 crop to further crop the sensor when greater focal length is needed. Canon’s XF-AVC codec delivers robust editing performance for professional productions, while HEVC and MP4 recording options are also available for creators who value storage space and fast delivery. The EOS C70 is Netflix approved for professional-level productions.
Pro Color Tools
Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 are both supported by the EOS C70, allowing creators to capture 16 stops of dynamic range in both the shadows and highlights. Canon Cinema Gamut also provides a wider color space that is catered toward professional color grading, while Hybrid Log Gamma and PQ recording are available for use in HDR production such as modern broadcast and streaming platforms. This ensures the EOS C70 fits in perfectly with larger Cinema EOS productions for seamless color grading. Custom LUTs can be loaded directly into the camera for on-set monitoring while preserving Canon Log footage for color grading later on.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Canon’s EOS iTR AF X delivers fast and highly accurate autofocus performance across the frame and supports eye, face, and head detection while maintaining smooth focus transitions. Subject tracking is excellent even in crowded scenes. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF covers roughly 80% of the image frame and uses each pixel on the CMOS sensor for both focus detection and image information. When used in Face Detection mode, the EOS iTR AF X uses an algorithm that helps to improve tracking reliability even when a subject turns their head. Finally, the EOS C70 features a Dual Pixel Focus Guide, providing both front and back-focus information so users know exactly where to set focus during manual pulls.
Built-In Motorized ND Filters
A motorized ND filter system provides a massive advantage over traditional mirrorless cameras as it allows for quick exposure adjustments while maintaining a consistent shutter and desired aperture. The EOS C70 provides 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10-stop ND settings that make it particularly effective for outdoor shooting and anywhere else that lighting conditions can change rapidly.
RF Mount Lenses
The EOS C70 is on a short list of Cinema EOS cameras that feature the RF mount, which gives creators the capability to use mirrorless RF lenses with powerful cinema features. Using any of Canon’s EF-EOS R adapters, including the 0.71x Speed Booster, the camera also supports Canon EF lenses while increasing light transmission and restoring a full-frame angle of view when using full-frame EF glass. The 0.71X EF to RF lens mount adapter converts full-frame lenses to Super35 format and also delivers an aperture speed boost around one stop. This makes the C70 an excellent choice for users who aren’t ready to commit to transitioning all of their lenses when switching to a true cinema camera.
Compact Design
The magnesium alloy chassis of the EOS C70 keeps the camera lightweight yet durable for demanding projects. The overall body size is slightly larger than Canon’s mirrorless cameras, and a high-brightness articulating touchscreen, numerous customizable buttons, and an ergonomic grip allow filmmakers to work comfortably and effectively when shooting on a gimbal, handheld, or on a tripod. The camera comes in at just 2.58lbs (1.17kg) and measures 130.2mm x 160mm x 115.9 mm.
Electronic Image Stabilization
In-body Electronic Image Stabilization is included in the C70, and when used with an RF-mount lens, coordinated control optimizes hand-shake correction for improved vibration reduction compared to an EF-mount lens and an electronic image stabilizer. When shooting in 2K, the Super16 Digital Image Stabilizer improves its performance by using the peripheral area around the center of the 4K sensor to help stabilize the image.
Auto ISO/Gain Control
When the filmmaker needs to focus on composition and framing, rather than lighting control, the EOS C70 offers a dual gain output to change the gain smoothly in the scene. This is ideal for creators shooting in locations with rapidly changing lighting conditions.
Pro-Level Audio Recording
The EOS C70 comes equipped with two mini-XLR inputs with phantom power that enable direct connection of professional microphones. Four channels of 24-bit audio recording allow operators to utilize multiple microphones simultaneously for projects that require multiple audio sources. Finally, a 3.5mm microphone input and headphone output deliver flexibility for smaller projects.
Active Cooling with Unlimited Recording
An active cooling system enables virtually unlimited recording times without overheating, which makes the EOS C70 an excellent choice for interviews, live events, conferences, and long-form production where continuous recording is necessary. The in-camera cooling system operates quietly, allowing seamless audio recording without compromising performance during extended shoots.
Versatile Connectivity
Many of the professional connection options you’d expect from a larger cinema camera are available on the EOS C70. This includes a full-size HDMI output, USB-C connectivity, dual UHS-II SD card slots, and a dedicated timecode terminal to sync multiple devices together for larger productions. A connection for an optional GPS unit or third-party Wi-Fi is also available. Ethernet networking is achieved via an optional adapter, while simultaneous and relay recording modes offer additional flexibility for professionals. A LANC terminal enables remote control using the optional sold-separately Canon RC-V100 unit. The 3.5” 2.76m dot rotatable LCD screen offers Direct Touch Control that enables quick controls utilizing the touchscreen, like start/stop recording, set ISO/Gain, color temperature, Touch AF and Touch Tracking, and other critical settings. For users who need to capture vertical footage, the ¼”-20 tripod thread built into the grip can position the EOS C70 for vertical use, and the user interface can also be switched to vertical mode.
Dual Card Slots
Two UHS-II SD card slots are available and can perform a variety of functions that best suit the creator's workflow. Simultaneous recording allows for instant backups in the field, relay recording can extend overall shooting times, and recording proxy files helps to streamline post-production workflows. For slow or fast motion recording, V90 SD cards are the recommended choice to maintain high framerates and resolutions.
Differences Between the EOS C80, C70, and C50
The C80 is Canon’s premium compact full-frame cinema camera, while the C70 is an excellent Super 35 workhorse and the C50 is Canon’s smallest and most affordable full-frame cinema camera. All three cameras share Canon’s top-tier color science, RF mount, and pro cinema workflows, but they differ in sensor technology, recording capabilities, autofocus, and connectivity. The C70 is the right choice if you want to shoot in Super 35 and have a pre-existing lens correction built around Super 35.
