Canon m50!
It's a lie, you sold it 😅
Nikon d5300
Sony a7S III, but gonna add Sony a1 or another Sony to the mix. 2+ years and still no replacement to a7S III/FX3 especially 8.7ms sensor readout in 4K which only topped by the likes of Sony Venice 2 at 3.7ms, crucial for ultra macro and super telephoto filmmaking. There is no perfect camera for everyone, but Sony a1 is the most complete, thanks to Nikon Z9 for bottling it with no mechanical shutter for photography.
This was a greatv review! I'm considering this as my next camera, buy in also waiting for Canons next cinema camera.
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your insightful camera review. Your detailed analysis and hands-on experience were incredibly helpful in guiding my decision. Keep up the fantastic work!
Glad it was helpful! THank you!
Very informative. Thank you!
Very welcome!
thanks for the insights!
My pleasure!
Great review!! Question : would you go with the c70 when you shoot an independent movie? (also audio, wireless in camera?) Thanks for the answer!! Nicolaas
Loved that, thankyou !
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good video - I came from a C100 M2 so obviously a big improvement on many levels. Can't live without built in ND's! Because I came from super 35 sensor I wasn't expecting it to be a low-light champ but still respectable. I was already prepared for the crop factor. Decent autofocus with the firmware update. I personally don't like the build quality and the screen deserves the criticism it gets because it's critical to the camera. Most cine cams don't come with a EVF now, but I REALLY wish Canon at least had a option of a EVF - very hard to use outside. I'm currently using a DIY EVF that I made around a Portakeys monitor. The camera has met my expectation and for my documentary work it's great overall- good battery life too.
My flip screen wasn't broken but it was loose. Canon has been fixing them for free. Got mine fixed. Give them a call.
Nice, thank you!!
I'd love to get RAW over HDMI with this camera, but I love every other aspect, esp with the recent firmware improving its AF. I've had some other issues related to how it plays with my Ninja V but those are probably user error...
Nice! Almost a perfect camera I would say!
What issues do u have with ninja? Mine works on both my Shinobi and Ninja V+
I’d also love to hear what issues you’re having I have a ninja V and was just about to purchase the c70
Thank you for your review.
The Tilta top plate is very interesting being so minimal.
My only concern is its single point of mount. Is there any ‘’play’’ or is it solid?
Oh no, not at all! No wiggle, it feels like it grew to the body, I never take it off!
Also it's more like a 2 point. Because it slides in to the hot shoe and then you screw it in
@@Roman.the.explorer Thank you very much, most helpfull !
I've seen very eye opening videos on WDR compared to the RAW and Clog formats. Wide DR is a really competent and worthy file. Coming from very well respected colorists. I've been using Clog3 a little bit because I shoot with C70's and R5c. They play together well.
Hm, very interesting! I need to test that. I have been using log 2 first because of the DR but its much harder to grade. Log3 on the other side (coming from the R5 experience as a B cam) is much easier to work with and I usually get a more pleasing image.
hi Scottie. Is the wdr 10 bit as well? is the last videoclip on your channel shot on wdr, please? thank you
@@claudiutoader5938 10 bit 422 in the new Canon 709 codec, If you're asking me about the Ford dealership spot?
@@scottievee7467 yes, about the Ford dealeaship spot i was wondering.. thank you
Keep in mind you don't really need to be good at colour grading to take advantage of clog2. Just use colour management in Resolve and Resolve will normalize the footage from the log footage and you can just adjust exposure from there.
Good point!
Would C70 be good for wildlife filmmaking? Great And helpful review
It gives a "film" look so that depends if you will like it in wildlife filmmaking, you might prefer something more sharp and better AF such as R5 or A7S3/FX3
Nice & informative video. But Plz turn the volume of the music down in your upcoming videos.
Thanks!
One note:
You say “the ef to RF adapter gives you an extra stop of light”. You meant to say: “the ef to RF speed booster gives you an extra stop of light”
The adapter and the speed booster function differently.
Other than that, nice work!
Thank you! And yes you are right!
The C70 can be used on big projects which is why its Netflix approved with the R5C
True!
You mentioned the R6 MKII in this video - how do you think an R6MKII will work as a b-camera with the C70 as a main camera?
Hey! So I posted a review about r6m2 the other day as well and honestly I have missed feelings about it. It works good as a bcam, but I'd rather use R5. And shoot them both clog3
Any Canon camera with video can be a B cam to C70. I use the R5C and R3 as b cams but their footage is all similar enough to match in post.
Hi. Have you had the purple spot problem with the ef lenses?
Hey! No not sure what that is, never had it
Yours is not the fixed hinge version then if it does what you showed it do.. that floppy motion. I have the 2nd gen one where it came fixed and it's rock solid. It's not as tight as the mirrorless bodies but I wouldn't say it's fragile and it doesn't move back n forth like yours.
Hmm, maybe I should send it to canon so they can swap it
@@Roman.the.explorer yep they doing them for free!
I just want a C70 in a C100 body style
Haha they need to do a firmware update 😂😂
@@Roman.the.explorer I keep hearing rumor of a C200 MkII coming this year which would be a C70 in that body style. I keep hoping its true.
The only thing holding me back from getting a C70 is that clients really react positively to a big camera, just having something big gets gigs. Its stupid, but it works.
@@billycausey4277 I know lol, that's how it is. What I do I just rig up my c70 to make it look big and it works 😂😂😂
@@billycausey4277yeah they will be revealing it this year at NAB. I can’t wait to see it
@@MarcusRFilms I went ahead and bought a C70. Couldn't keep waiting. Whatever they reveal this year, I'll likely grab in two or three.
I see many guy selling their c70 as most clients demand sony gear. Canon cinema cameras on their path don it seem. Sony is taking over. Better eco system, full frame and and and.
Thanks for the comment! I'm in the industry over 3 years and I have never been told by a client which camera I should use. They tell me, "we want a video like you did for Mercedes" that's about it lol
Demanding Sony gear? Nope - funny my clients only seem to care about the image - I've shot Canon, Sony and Panasonic
everything‘s around $4000 I will never buy that’s just too expensive
you do not get 16 stops of dynamic range in the c70.
1st search on Google tells me 16+ 🤷
@@Roman.the.explorer says canon.
Alexa has 14+ Real stops of dynamic range and that is consider the widest in the market before the the Alexa 35. The c70 has 12.5 or 13 in a good day
@@daviddn5631 so I guess they lie on Google lol. Probably a bad day
@@Roman.the.explorer do you really think the c70 has a wider dynamic range than the arri Alexa?
Are you familiar with the different DR tests?
You must know very little about cameras I guess
@@daviddn5631 goodness chill bro. You know what he means and the c70 has spectacular dynamic range
