C70 Rocks~

Love this camera. I've rented before buying it and I was already very satisfied. I would have appreciated a build in EVF, though. Shipping was fast and smooth.

Happy customer

Moving up from using my Canon R5 for A-cam interviews and having it overheat a few times on a job, this thing is exactly what I needed! Now no more sweating bullets wondering if my camera will power down before the interview is over. I love that you can record from two audio sources simultaneously.

Inspires confidence!

Great image quality and slo-mo autofocus capabilities. I'm frustrated that FCPX still does not recognize the 240 Mbps Intra-frame footage from this camera which is what I use to shoot 60fps. This creates a big workflow challenge. Please Canon talk to Apple and get this fixed!!!

Incompatibility issues!

Great upgrade from our C100mkII.  This is the Camera I have been waiting for. Has everything I need for run and gun shooting then some. The new RAW shooting is great.  I really have no complaints.

Canon THANK YOU for this one !!!

I am using this camera for a while now, however it has some severe issues. 

1. There is a heavy antialising and moire problem that make most of my recordings unusable!!! The effect is increased when Digital IS switched on. DIS makes every straight line jitter, no matter which lens or zoom range I am using.
2. The autofocus is really bad, probably worst than in my R7 camera, despite the Face Priority mode which would have been nice, but not working properly.
3. The battery is pretty mediocre, but costs a furtune!
4 The LCD panel is full of garbage, the hinge already came off from the body of the camera. Poor engineering.
5. It is prone to be get scratched due to the plastic of the body, especially the upper part.

I can't beleive I paid for this camera almost the same amount as my little apartment did cost.

Ugggghhhh.

C70 after 1 year of use

I am using this gear for more than a year now, but I really want to get rid of it. It has a ridiculous amount of antialiasing and jittering, which makes all my recording totally unusable. You would be better of to pick up a Canon EOS R7, which handles the job much better.
Look at the footage I recorded with the C70 and see the jittering effect around the letters in the footage here. [Andorama removed the clip.]

jittering footage with C70

The c70 enabled me to step into a true professional video workflow. As a hybrid shooter (relying on the r5 w/external recorder for video, that still overheated on 1/2 day shoots it?s amazing to finally have a professional cinema body for video and not worry about overheating or bringing extra gear to record audio. Getting the c70 has enabled me to eliminate an external video recorder and the file sizes are much easier to edit and way smaller in size. Having an external audio recorder is no longer needed since the c70 has built in 4-channel recorder with amazing pre-amps. And the best for last, the dynamic range and image quality is the best I?ve ever edited with. Especially mind-blowing since the file size of xf-avc is a quarter the size of what the r5 recorded at. Will definitely buy another as my business grows.

Amazing image quality and amazing files to edit!

The perfect compact cinema camera PERIOD.

Great cinema camera

I have use the C70 for about a year and just really fascinated with the amazing blockbuster image quality that produces with amazing colors

Best video 4k

Awesome camera, especially now with new firmware for RAW files

My new favorite camera!!!! I love everything about it except the mini xlr situation.

My new bestie

The c70 is undoubtedly the best cinema camera that you can buy for the price. It comes with so many features packed in that would need to be added to most other cameras at a cost. Internal ND filters, a slew of audio inputs, and fully remappable keys, you can literally attach a lens and shoot right away. Coming from Nikon, Clog2 has been great to color grade with and the dual gain sensor makes low light footage have great shadow detail and highlights. I made a decision to cancel my Red Komodo order for this and I'm glad that I did.

The best cinema camera out of the box

Really awesome camera. Super simple to use, great size and ergos.

So good

bought this few months agio , mixed emotions. raw light is good, hinge problem

screen issue

Incredible camera, a bit worried about the screen but its perfect. Just wish auto focus worked better in low light but not a biggie. Perfect image and usability.  Paired with the canon focal reducer its a beast.

amaaaaazing

Great camera overall, natively it is a super 35 mm without a 1.5 crop. Using the focal adapter you get the full frame equivalent. I also have no focal canon adapter and for using EF lenses. The auto focus seems more responsive with the non-focal adapter. I didn't get to try RF lenses yet.

Great general purpose camera

The C70 is my very first cinema camera.  For decades I have only been using camcorders; only one being a 1-inch type (actually approx 16mm.  So this unit was a serious update.

It's also my very first interchangable lens video equipment.  I only have the RF 24-70 f/2.8L for now.

It can be quite compact without the top handle; I'm connecting a small stereo mic to the hot  shoe (connects via 3.5mm cable).   Weight isn't too bad at around 5.5 to 6 lbs.

Pros...

Super 35 sensor with very high dynamic range.

Really like how you can record two different codecs simultaneously.  This really helped to save money on cards.  I'm currently using a 256 GB V90 card in the main slot and 128 GB V90 card in the secondary slot.  I then set it up to record XF-AVC 10-bit 4:2:2 All-I to the first card and the Long-GOP version to the secondary card.

The quick menu system is very convenient; really easy to change commonly-used settings.  Very intuative menu system as well.

Incredible amount of customization available.

I rented the 0.71x adapter and was able to use my EF 50mm f/1.2L.  That was incredible.  Having light-gathering capability of f/0.9, I could shoot very dark scenes with just ISO 400 (shutter at 1/48; 180-degree mode with true 24 fps).

Cons...

The only feature I kinda miss from camcorders is having a rocker-style zoom.  I know it exists for cine-servo type lenses which are way beyond my budget.   Still, this hasn't prevented me from capturing content at all; I just think about capturing content differently now.  Which is probably a really good thing.

Best Video Camera I've ever owned

Great image quality and easy to use. Good upgrade for any DSLR/mirrorless shooters. Only concern is the subpar build quality and the autofocus is nothing in comparison to an R5. Still sufficient for professional work nonetheless

Canon's cinema goodness

For a cinema camera...this is a remarkable entry point! I had the C100 Mk II and very much enjoyed the image quality the camera offered, but ended up selling the body because the size was just too big for the projects I worked on at the time. The C70 has resolved that issue for me. This camera is very adaptable, portable and the image quality is amazing. Very happy with this camera.

Great entry into the cinema series

I have now used my C70 for a couple of weddings and I am very pleased with the investment. I am able to match footage with my Canon 5D Mk IV with C-Log upgrade and the pair make a great duo. I also have the EF .71x adapter which makes me EF L lenses even more powerful when paired with this camera. When using the adapter on the C70 and mounting my 24-70 2.8L lens I am able to pretty closely match the framing of the 16-35 f2.8L on my Mk IV when shooting in 4k giving me a lot of options editing on a 1080 timeline. For the price point I feel this camera delivers excellent value.

Excellent choice for wedding films

This was a great update to my C100 mark II. Smaller form factor too.

Great upgrade from C100 mark II

So far my favorite camera in 2021. I bought this guy a few weeks back and I love the image coming out of camera. Used it on many commercial projects along side my RED Dragon. Perfect travel doc camera as it fits anywhere my DSLR would. Love the built in ND filters, gives me so much more space not having to lug around heavy ND and big Mattebox. Balances great on my Ronin. Color grades well in Davinci! Overall very excited. Thanks again Adorama & Lewis for the wonderful customer support!

Favorite Camera of 2021!

Great camera, I’m completely in love with it.

Best camera ever

This cinema camera is simply perfect in every way! Dynamic range is epic, low light performance magnificent, ND filters built in... Can't say enough about this masterpiece. Simply glorious!

P.S.
FIRST!

Glorious!

A great little camera. I've paired it with the Zacuto cage and Kameleon EVF and a side handle. Like many of us, I was going between this and the  Komodo for single shooter work and determined this was just more versatile and customizable in the long run.

Image is excellent. AF is excellent. Mini-XLRs are a slight pain but once I got the proper cables all was well.

Great indie doc powerhouse

Awesome experience from start to finish. Upgraded from the c100 and couldn't be happier! The only down side I could find was the material used on the top handle is a bit rough to the touch.

Awesome Customer Experience, Phenomenal Camera!

I didn’t realize how frustrated I would be without an EVF, I use one when going into the menu and making adjustments checking settings 
I bought a third party EVF arriving soon, a hassle because it’s another thing to attach and power
