5:40 you can use portrait mode not only for Instagram use but also for green screen work if your subject fit property in the frame, so that you can save some pixels on either sides of the frame.

This is genius lol More resolution for keying out

[@jonatanvillafana3244]

Dude.. you are awesome 👏

[@EpicLightMedia]

There is a rumor going around that I don’t like Potato Jet! THIS COULD NOT BE FURTHER FROM THE TRUTH! I love Gene and it was because of him that we started our channel.

[@robertm3951]

I would like this post but you probably do not want me to

[@VRcation]

because his channel is so bad, it made you realize how easy is was to succeed on youtube (totally joking, love Gene too - almost as much as I love the government)

[@formoftherapy]

From my experience, you won't get kicked out for like a phone/gopro but you get kicked out sometimes with a dslr, even moreso if you've got a decked out rig. But then there's this weird point where if you carry something super big like an ENG camera, they leave you alone and assume it's way above their pay grade lmao

[@juliancroot]

I've had the C70 for 3 months, and at first I thought it was 'ok' but nothing I got overly excited about. But since getting the speedbooster I've really grown to like it a lot. I liked the speedbooster so much I made a video about it, and I'm still uncovering other lens / speedbooster combos that make the C70 a really flexible unit without carrying too much kit around.

[@SethESmith]

The Canon C70 is such an incredible camera...Definitely the dream camera

[@DantheLion]

finaly something about the c70 im thinking about getting one this year

[@sandboxaperture7013]

My takeaway from this video is that the A7SIII still stacks up really well to these top end cameras

[@ronnyson9379]

I agree. And considering the $2000 price difference its even more i.pressive I think. You do get some uniquely high end features on the C70 though that the A7S3 just doesn't have.

[@sandboxaperture7013]

@@ronnyson9379 True. Built in ND filters would be really nice.

[@ChrisParayno]

A7s3 is in a different bracket. Not saying either is better or worse, just different cameras for different applications.

[@sandboxaperture7013]

@@ChrisParayno Thats a fair point. Im just so impressed with how far cameras have come in the past few years. Its an exciting time for camera tech.

[@noahyv]

It does well for the size and price but the processing and noise/NR definitely comes up short against the c70 . I have both and the a7s3 definitely is more than good enough for some things especially if you need that size or can't afford more but it leans heavily on NR that you cant disable. C70 has a better sensitivity sweet spot and much more DR in that sweet spot. The a7s3 DR signficantly deteriorates past base ISO. Even though it improves at 12800 it definitely sacrifices quite a bit there as well. drive.google.com/file/d/1W3Y7D9SaWhhevSKuN1esB3814-N_aDtJ/view?usp=drivesdk

[@scottievee330]

So pumped to hear that you like the C70. I've had it since December and love it. A lot of positive with this camera from people in the know.

[@tomassantos4299]

Shoutout to gene for being the goat of cine cameras

[@boois4853]

This camera is such a beast. I imagine it’s going to be the adventure camera of choice for a lot of outdoor videographers. False color built in and the NDs are my favorite features.

[@Wakaleo]

I want this type of motivation in my own life - I want to get excited but I'm always too chill.

[@Pthejefe]

“Corporate making another commercial great “ LMFAOOOOOOOO

[@floridadrone6978]

[@sharathshaiva]

Damn this guy puts so much effort to his videos...loved it❤️

[@oneword3491]

Watching you fling it around with one hand really made up for the small shortcomings. You may have convinced me to bring one home.

[@perrymorrisjr]

Jet, you are my favorite KZbinr, the guy most people I know would love to hang out with!

[@sammymorales6838]

I been waiting on your review to pull the trigger on this matter. Your review is probably the most trusted for me in here

[@Ootini4]

Thanks for answering my question! I recently started using false color and it has been a game changer in exposing properly.

[@Krispy038]

Waiting to pick up Canon's R1 when it drops and eventually maybe the RF C200 or whatever else Canon releases or maybe the Komodo, depending on the specs of Canon's future releases. Been slowly selling off and converting all my EF lenses and bodies over to the RF ecosystem. R5's are holding me over for now on jobs.

[@fb_prod_5945]

Why are potato jets reviews the best on youtube? I don't know why but they are the only one I watch

[@ugqdr7241]

yyea

[@gilbertogranados3018]

And here I am SO happy with my C100 Mark II, it doesn't even tickle me into getting one just yet brother

[@creativespace8637]

The only reason Gene hasn’t been mugged for his cameras is because everyone is scared of Dylan

[@sleepylamp]

Lol

[@bchi521]

Great review. I got my C70 in December of 2020 and it has been such a workhorse.

[@ADHTube]

One can learn so much just by listening to you review this camera. Thanks.

[@miguelbarreto791]

The Arri is so majestic that if Jet entered my house with it I also wouldn't kick him out 😂

[@donovanmiller5475]

There were so many great commercials over the super bowl but the Jeep commercial is probably one of my favorites

[@jailbreakoverlander]

Potato i BOUGHT YOUR FILM USING ANY CLASS Twice because somehow it disappeared. At any rate Thanks homie its helping me to use my many cameras to the full.

[@williambonato4560]

One of the best camera review videos I have EVER seen.

[@IbrahimLucas]

I love the way you do reviews, Gene. I'm starting to do more reviews because of you.

[@dhondtdigital]

c70 dream camera for video for sure. I have the R5, but primarily use it for photos. Best superbowl commercial would be Peter McKinnon version of the Ford F150 Raptor.

[@MyekalBenham]

Such a great review man. The footage looks stunning. I love your Knowledge , Honesty and passion. Thanks for sharing your work Gene!

[@willlund2185]

I'm glad this uses the RF lenses with adaptability for EF. Makes it versatile out of the box. Favorite commercial: The Miracle-Gro ad, because I'm a fan of comedian Matt Braunger.

[@harraldpostauto6379]

Can we see more of the Arri Alexa Classic such a beatiful Camera, i Love your Videos man so inspirieren and down to earth still thank you

[@OliverCao]

If the fx3 has built in ND I think that will be the next best cinema camera

[@philk8807]

I haven't watched PJ in months. I have missed you Potato Jet.

[@AestheticsbyAnnie]

You’re such a nerd, and I love it. I’m binging all your videos

[@AndrewMurphyFilms]

You can attach the camera to gimbals without an adapter plate by just using the right 1/4” screw hole since it’s offset. Works great 👌👌

[@AshleyPaul]

My favorite Super Bowl commercial was the 90s throwback with Shaggy in it.

[@Dmogul]

Best camera I’ve used so far, I like all of the topics you’ve touched on, now I’m going to go make my final thoughts video as well.

[@danseb1975]

Have been waiting for this video!!

[@aimankuaci]

i have used c70 for a few hours myself. it's my first time using canon & cinema camera but i can use it pretty quickly.

[@Grroovie]

Perfect timing. I've been contemplating sending back this camera before it even arrived on Tuesday and this soothed my concerns! Good video, thanks Gene!

[@thomasfransson]

Would love to see you try out the Fujifilm X-T4. Such an underrated hybrid.

[@philk8807]

That's what I shoot with, and I love it except this past week on a shoot it froze up twice, once for 5 minutes and once for 20 minutes. It was a hot day in texas, but still, it completely messed everything up, not good.

Dam you seem like such an awesome dude. Just about every videographer channel I follow has nothing but genuinely awesome people. I seriously gotta come out to one of the up coming conferences.

Fave Superbowl commercial? The only one I watched. The Jason Alexander Hoodie Tide advert.

[@will.snyder]

Hey man, been watching for a long time and just wanted to say I love your videos. Unpretentious, fun to watch, and informative. Thanks dude!

[@babyave]

the colors on those c70 are beautiful

[@electricflixproductions]

I love when he was talking about the then upcomimg FX3. I really believe the FX3 blew so many people away in its performance in a way they werent expecting. I'm really struggling with the decision between getting a C70 vs FX3.

[@markoboychuk]

Man when you put the canon and sony side by side it really shows the difference in colors.

[@JaredHoyman]

That's funny you said that about your lexar card. I made a video a month ago on my channel how my v60 and v90 both failed on my R6 in video and photo. Thanks for the review. I'm itching to add the c70 to my gear.

[@ScottSilva]

Just ordered a c70 last week. This video makes me feel better about spending that money. Thanks for the thorough information. 👍

[@DavidScrivner]

Loved how Chipotle used Laowa's probe lens in its Super Bowl commercial!

[@ZGBrickfilms]

Wow, the C70 is such an excellent camera! Definitely my dream camera!

i made the same LEXAR card problem...turns out PROGRADE cards work perfectly and are slightly more cost effective anyway!

My fave super bowl commercial was the Toyota paralympics one, i thought it was verry inspiring and i would love to know how they pulled it off!

[@JeffXiaoAn]

Gene: it’s tiny compared to other cinema cameras Komodo: am I a joke to you?

[@SolidBlueBlocks]

Komodo is giant because you need a monitor, batteries, ...

Have you used a komodo? It’s interface is slow as shit. It’s unusable for daily it’s slow

@@lupreztryson yea i have 2 komodos. i think its fine

[@iamzuluzee]

Canon: “Welcome back, Gene.”

Super helpful; I think I finally decided to get the C70 instead of the Komodo for my go-to videographer camera, which I'll be using with the Tilta Float and RS2.

[@jonathanandrew1957]

The Jason Alexander Hoodie Super Bowl commercial was #1 this year

[@LoganTremellen]

Yes! I had the same SD card issue, bought 2 Lexar 128s and they are worthless, just got a Sony and it has 0 issues

You walking around with the huge Arri Alexa rig was so weird. 😁 Anyway, are you saying that a Superbowl ad was Potato-flavored? 🤔 Can't wait for next video. 🥺

8:33 Whoop whoop! You read my comment. Awesome, having used a c100 for many years, this is great news for potential future upgrades. Thanks and great content as always.

[@miguelarcega3282]

Great breakdown, I’m been on the fence with the c70. But word on a new camera announcement is coming from black magic.. so I’m excited to see what they got cooking. Best ad during the super bowl was the Wayne’s World Ad!

[@techlyn]

Great video as always guys! The super bowl commercial that I can remember the most is the Doritos’ commercial with Matthew McConaughey

My favorite commercial was Rocket Mortgage with Tracy Morgan! Love the review! I got a Komodo instead and have been loving it! Always wondered what the C70 was like, and now I know.

[@Hr1gunnar]

Wow! That is one in depth review. And I can’t even justify buying a canon m50. And here I am watching a review on a camera 10 times the price of that. 🤩🤦🏼🤷🏼‍♂️

[@TheDude-vx6wn]

Great review man. Thank you. Would be great to see a comparison of the best cinema cameras say under 5 or $6k. Or a overview of rumored cameras that are expected to come out this year. I'm on the market for an entry cinema cam.

[@garytaylor1617]

Thanks a million for the review!!Gene (inner thoughts..ok I’m running out of time..but I gotta tell about my tripod plate work around) “ok, so I used this plate, then this plate and then this plate..bam! Done LOL. I actually watched that back multiple times sped up.. do it, you’ll get a kick out of it 😂😂 1) the commercial with the swimmer (best visuals🔥 & inspirational message 🤙🥲) 2) commercial with the boss in the Jeep (even though it’s controversial now) still something we all needed to hear👊 *when you get tired of the c70, still got dibs on it 😬🥂

[@cormierfilms2691]

Great video man. That C70 looks awesome. To answer your question about favorite super bowl commercial, almost all of them sucked. I'd say the m&ms one was the best one

Being that your creamed your jeans over the Trinity and you already own a DJI RS2, I am looking forward to your complete review of the Tilta Flow. 😜

[@alexandreseve]

Hi Gene, Sam and Dylan ! Thanks for the video, it's a great review. Would you consider doing an ultimate R mount showdown comparison between the C70 / R5 / R6 / R ? I'm using an EOS R right now and I'd be really interested to see the actual difference. Keep up the good energy, you guys are awesome ;)

[@Prod.BM7]

Pretty sure I commented this on another video, but it really is a good day when Gene uploads

[@multimediamarc8973]

The pros for a lot of people is that C70 is Netflix certified. But I still like the A7S iii with a gimbal and VND set up.

[@colinrichardpowell]

I liked the Toyota ad featuring Paralympic swimmer Jessica Long!

[@robertfeliciano5723]

Toyota's Paralympics commercial, very heartwarming.

[@AnandaGarden]

Wonderful - So much info presented hands-on with humor.

[@AM2PMReviews]

That A7Siii looks better for most people. It seems for the size and price...it holds up well to these almost cinema cameras.. that FX3 will crush it then.

[@JeffCorcelius]

Tide killed it, Budlight was a nostalgia trip, maybe the paramount +. I don't think anything stood out as revolutionary or outstanding. Quality commercials all around but par for the course for the pandemic.

[@patrikkepe]

Can you make an in-depth video on your exposure process with false colour? I really love your videos. I'm really into the details so I love it that you try not to leave anything out.

[@Ybaa]

Just saw you on the F&F 9 trailer!!! Awesome!

[@jasonnowwhat5041]

Let’s be fair to people who are considering a purchase of this camera...the autofocus is pretty good, Canon 80d quality, not even close to the R5 or R6. And at 4k120 the autofocus can NOT be counted on, it borders on contrast based.
