EOS C70 Firmware UpdateCinema RAW Light Internal RecordingThe addition of Cinema RAW Light internal recording to the EOS C70 camera further enhances the recording capabilities of what's already a powerful digital imaging machine. This compact cinema camera can now capture 12-bit Cinema RAW Light internally to compatible SD cards. Cinema RAW Light captures the widest dynamic range from the Dual Gain Output sensor (16+ stops total) and allows the most flexibility to grade captured content. Three quality settings of Cinema RAW Light will make their way into the EOS C70 via the firmware update. The settings are: RAW HQ (high quality), RAW ST (standard quality), and RAW LT (light recording). All three modes are 12-bit regardless of frame rate. Lastly, Cinema RAW Light is compatible with Proxy and Double-Slot recording.Frame and Interval Recording ModesThe addition of Frame and Interval Recording modes is a direct result of user feedback, and adds even more recording flexibility to the EOS C70 camera by allowing easy creation of stop motion and time-lapse sequences when recording in the XF-AVC and MP4 formats. Frame recording is for stop motion capture, and every press of the record button captures a user-determined number of frames. Interval Recording sets the interval and number of frames to be captured for time-lapse sequences. Both recording modes help operators further tell their story in a more creative and inspiring form and are easy to use.Canon Digital Cinema Camera EOS C70 Firmware Version 1.0.3.1https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/details/cameras/cinema-eos/eos-c70?subtab=downloads-firmwareEOS C70Developed with an idea of combining the Cinema EOS series with the EOS R series, the new EOS C70 offers exceptional image quality and professional video features in a compact and mobile form factor, perfect for documentary, newsgathering, and corporate videos.The EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera with a built-in RF-lens mount, which was previously a feature that was only used for the EOS R series of mirrorless cameras. The RF-mount offers users access to Canon's superb line of RF-lenses, which are quick, reliable and provide brilliant image quality. There is also a full 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10-stop internal ND filter system in the relatively small flange depth of the RF-mount.Canon's EOS C70 is also equipped with a Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor that is capable of over 16 stops of dynamic range. The DIG!C DV7 Image Processor expands functionality and flexibility by enabling features such as 4K 120p High Frame Rate recording and Dual Pixel Autofocus.FeaturesExceptional Image QualityCanon Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) SensorThe EOS C70 features Canon's next generation Super 35mm Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor. This new sensor is capable of a total dynamic range in excess of 16 stops and includes Canon's exclusive Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology.The DGO Sensor is a newly developed imaging system that generates high dynamic range and maintains low noise levels by reading out each photodiode with two different gains. It combines the two with a saturation prioritizing gain for bright areas, and a lower noise prioritizing gain for darker areas.DIG!C DV7 Image ProcessorThe EOS C70 features Canon's DIG!C DV7 image processor that takes the extensive RAW information captured from the imaging sensor and processes it for output. DiG!C is also the engine behind features such as high frame rate recording, Dual Gain Output (DGO) Sensor, Dual Pixel Autofocus, HDR (PQ) output, Electronic Image Stabilization, and proxy recording.Canon Log 2 and 3, PQ, and HLG RecordingThe EOS C70 supports both Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3 Gamma. In post-production, Canon Log is designed to reproduce the entire tonal range that the CMOS image sensor is capable of. Log workflows provide the user with higher dynamic range, more highlight and shadow retention, and more flexibility in color grading.Canon Log 2 provides the largest dynamic range and image detail. However, while Canon Log 2 provides the most post-production flexibility and full dynamic range of the sensor, it typically requires more time in post and color correction.For users looking for most of the benefits of a log workflow, but with shorter turnaround times, Canon Log 3 provides an alternative with only a slightly reduced dynamic range of 14 stops.The EOS C70 also features HLG and PQ compliance with ITU-BT.2100 in Custom Picture (CP) presets, allowing users to record HDR footage instantly without grading.Highly Adaptable to a Variety of Shooting Styles and ApplicationsRF MountThe EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera engineered with a built-in RF mount making it compatible with Canon's expanding line of high-performance RF lenses. The short flange distance helps to dramatically reduce body depth, resulting in a more compact design.EF Lens Compatibility with EF-EOS R 0.71XIn addition to RF lenses, the EOS C70 offers tremendous flexibility by also being compatible with Canon's broad line of award-winning EF lenses thanks to the new EF - RF optical adapter. This adapter converts light transmission from full-frame to Super 35mm image format. It extends the angle of view and optical sensitivity, while seamlessly integrating with the camera's optical corrections. mount adapter.In addition to the flanges of the RF mount, four screws securely attach the adapter to the camera. Once mounted, the adapter maintains a similar angle of view of your full frame lenses on the Super 35mm sensor, while boosting the speed of the attached lens by an average of 1- stop. The adapter also carries all EF information through to the RF contacts, so on certain lenses, full DPAF and metadata will be available, working much as they do on a native EF mount.Direct Touch ControlThe EOS C70 is equipped with Direct Touch Control which allows easy access to commonly used menu settings on the fully-rotatable LCD screen. Users will be able to simply touch the screen to start/stop recording, access file format and resolution, set ISO/Gain, color temperature and iris, and display important settings. Shooting settings that were once in various places of the menu can now be accessed with one hand, allowing for on-the-spot changes while holding the camera.9x16 Vertical ShootingThe EOS C70 supports vertical shooting, which is crucial for creators looking to capture content for smart devices and digital signage. The user interface can be switched to support vertical shooting with the same feel as horizontal shooting. A 1/4/20 tripod hole is built into the side of the camera grip, allowing users to easily attach a tripod without special accessories.Outstanding Professional Camera UsabilityNew Unique, Compact Body DesignThe EOS C70 features a new uni-body design that exhibits a compact form factor and an ergonomic built-in grip making handheld shooting easy and comfortable.Built-in Mini-XLRSThe EOS C70 is equipped with two mini-XLR audio input terminals for professional audio recording. Additionally, manual audio control dials let users intuitively and quickly adjust the audio control.Built-in Neutral Density Filter SystemThe newly-developed thin, motorized ND filter unit has been specifically designed for the RF mount's short flange back. It offers up to 10 stops of ND, allowing users to shoot in various lighting conditions.Time Code TerminalThe EOS C70 includes a time code input/output terminal in the lower front of the body that makes synchronizing easier in multi-camera productions.Dual Pixel CMOS AF, EOS iTR AF X, Dual Pixel Focus GuideCanon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology uses every pixel on the imaging sensor to detect focus and to capture actual image information, offering users high precision focusing and exceptional image quality.The EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature EOS iTR AF X, which includes a head detection algorithm developed with deep learning technology. In Face Detection mode, the AF works with this advanced algorithm to dramatically improve distance measuring and tracking reliability.The EOS C70 also features Dual Pixel Focus Guide, which is an innovative UI that gives users both front- and back-focus information telling users if the focus position is in the back or the front, aiding in smooth pulls during manual focus.Electronic Image Stabilization with Coordinated ControlFor the first time in a Cinema EOS camera, enhanced image stabilization is available with coordinated control. With an RF lens and the electronic IS in the EOS C70, coordinated control optimizes hand-shake correction, resulting in better anti-vibration performance than the conventional EF lens and electronic IS together.In addition, the EOS C70 adds Super 16 Digital IS, which stabilizes the 2K images by using the peripheral area around the center of the 4K sensor, to provide high performance stabilization.Auto ISO/Gain ControlThe EOS C70 is the first Cinema EOS camera to feature Auto ISO and Gain Control. EOS C70 can automatically adjust sensitivity by utilizing the DGO sensor characteristics to switch gain smoothly, helping users concentrate on framing without worrying about aperture and other camera settings when moving from indoor to outdoor locations with significant changes in lighting.

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
