I just got the C70 and am loving it so far. I do some videography for longer-form content and I still use a C100 for it because of how efficient the file sizes are.
I unfortunately did not own any EF glass and I bought the adapter and a 15 to 35 Mark II Canon. I bought a bunch of VF glass on a deep discount and now I have been stuck with them and have pretty bad results. The only lens I like is the 15 to 35 and it doesn't have stabilization so it's difficult to shoot with. Not only that but it does not have a full frame field of view so there is a circle around the image that is barely noticeable but is there through the entire zoom range. I threw this lens on my R5C which is full frame and noticed the circle around the outside.
Nice video! How's your experience with vignetting and lens flaring with the adapter? I'm using a Viltrox one and hate it :( I heard the canon one is even worse in that matter :(
Thank you! Actually I have not experienced any noticeable vignetting with the Canon .71x adapter (using the compatible Canon EF lenses). However, I have noticed less contrast compared to RF lenses and sometimes, lens flaring/artifacts when faced with direct light.
@@carloscortesi6411 thanks for the reply! I normally see it when shooting outdoors in bright light, specially with a zoom lens like the EF 16-35 or EF 70-200. The flares are a bummer indeed. I'm saving to invest on RF lenses to not deal with this anymore 😅
I've been using Angelbird v60 cards since this camera came out, and they handle every format the camera shoots perfectly. Don't even need to bump up to v90.
Youre using the speedbooster with 16-35 2.8? Pros and cons of this lens combo? Im considering buying it. What f stop does is go to and what vocal lengt does it get compared to ff, thanks
Yes it works great! I honestly can't think of any cons of using the 16-35mm with the speed booster. With the speed booster you get the "nearly full frame" 16-35mm and turn its f4 aperture to f2.8. I love the combination, work great!
Absolutely I use it for nearly everything! However if you are only doing RUclips videos for your channel (as opposed to making a living doing videos for others) then the C70 might be overkill. Try the new R7! It’s like an improved 90D with an RF mount and 10 bit 422 CLog 3 recording at 4K 60p. Video on this one coming up soon!
Don’t you get more dynamic range when shooting Clog2/3 at ISO 800? Why would you want to go lower than that hurting your shadows I use the C200/R5C combination so honestly curious about this. Ty
You get the best dynamic range when filming at ISO 800 in Clog2 (not Clog3); but not every scenario requires the most dynamic range. The native ISO 800 still gives you noise in the shadows (specially in RAW); for the cleanest image I try to keep my ISO as low as possible. So if I don't need the dynamic range (see the false color tool to ensure there are no crushed blacks or overexposed highlights) then I try to go lower than ISO 800.
Good video. Question, which card works when using the RAW? I only ask because I've tried my 256gb V90 and it was not able to record in raw. is there a certain card needed for shooting in RAW LT?
Interesting, I used the V90 cards I mention to shoot RAW no problem. I use mostly the Angel Bird; if its a 299MB/s plus it should work. Is there maybe something wrong with your card? What error message does the camera give you?
@@carloscortesi6411 actually right after typing my first response I tried it again. It does record and I can play it back ON the C70 but I can’t seem to find the clip in the Mac or in my editor. Do I need to do something in order to view raw files on/in the editing program? I’ve tried both Davinci and FCPX.
@@TonyVic Awesome glad you are able to record! I actually use PC so it might be different...however, they should be on a folder in your card called "CRM". You will need to import them into your editing software to play the clips.
I really wanted to buy this camera but it just has to many cons for me. Build quality, RF mount with super 35mm sensor, bad AF, speed booster is expensive and has bad flaring, screen problem, big size for gimbals, no EVF, i didn't want to build out a heavy rig to make this camera work. I ended up with the R3 and the video quality is awesome even in 1080p, plus it is waterproof. I know it doesn't have NDs but it works better for me in every other department. It also has 240fps which i love as i shoot in a 50fps editing timeline, and the picture is decent in this mode + AF is better as is i shoot myself and need reliable focus.
@@mkflavvideo I personally would use the XF-AVC Intra Frame 422 10-bit for talking heads (instead of RAW) because its a lot easier to edit. Also, normally I have much more time to set up a talking head so I can set my white balance and tint right on point. HOWEVER, if you want the sharpest possible image (even if it might cost you some extra editing time) then RAW is the way to go. RAW in the C70 looks sharper than XF-AVC.
The C70 is an amazing camera and the main one I still use on my projects. Regarding the C80, it looks amazing! However the C400 has considerable advantages (including the faster CFexpress Cards and 6K at 59.94P Cinema RAW Light 12-bit). If you mainly film in Cinema RAW Light (I think changing tint, exposure and ISO while editing is awesome) this is important because the C80 limits you (according to the current specification sheet) to 29.97P at 6K Cinema RAW Light. Say you are filming an interview (talking head at 23.98P and b-roll at 59.94P), if you want to film Cinema RAW Light 12-bit, you will have to film in 6K in order to avoid a sensor crop (invalidating one of the main advantages of full a frame). To get around this, you could film the talking head at 23.98P in 6K .CRM, and then film the b-roll in any of the 4K 4:2:2 10-bit modes at 59.94P. However this presents two issues: 1. The b-roll won't be in Cinema RAW Light so you won't have the same editing flexibility as your talking head. 2. The b-roll might look considerably softer than the talking head (I'm speculating as I have not tested it) because one image is proper 6K and the other is a super sampled 4K (also, at least on the C70, the Cinema RAW Light videos looks a bit sharper to me). Hence why the C400 might be a better option for some people who are concerned about the points above; since you get the 6K at 23.98P and 59.94P for both talking heads and interviews. Just my opinion!
Concise and to the point! Super helpful thanks man.
Excellent tips! I'm new to my C70 and all this "real world" information really helps

can you shoot raw not in 12bit or 10 bit ?
Not that I know off, only in 12 bit. But I don't know why you would want to? 8-bit is not recommended for professional coloring use (my opinion).
@@carloscortesi6411 would recommend that for shooting commercial talking head interviews?
@@mkflavvideo I personally would use the XF-AVC Intra Frame 422 10-bit for talking heads (instead of RAW) because its a lot easier to edit.

HOWEVER, if you want the sharpest possible image (even if it might cost you some extra editing time) then RAW is the way to go. RAW in the C70 looks sharper than XF-AVC.
Pro tip... Use DR 18 instead of Premiere and your computer should not struggle with RAW.
C70 vs c200 vs r5c?
C70 in my opinion (for my needs, internal NDs and 10 bit 422 4K are a must).
c70 dynamic range and shadow recovery in post like crazy...
Carlos can I come intern with you for a week? Let me know thanks. I can carry bags or whatever you need! I just want to learn. Thank you Sir!
