Canon C70: The Cinema Camera for Everyone?

[@WarChortle]

I don't own this camera, I don't plan on owning this camera, I just like watching your content because it's just well put together. It doesn't really matter what the topic is. I'm sure you got a huge boost during the iPhone camera reviews vs... and they were all interesting, but I like the videos because of your rational thought processes. I think that's why people watch you, Gerald, Armando, etc. because it's nice to find people just in the world that think critically and apply sound logic about a given topic.

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks for the solid review. I've been eyeballing this one, and your video is inching me closer.

[@EamonGlavin]

I’m super happy I upgraded to the C70 for my rowing documentary project. It’s so game changing not having to deal with external ND filters and having some RF glass from owning the Eos R.

[@corail53]

You do know that built in ND filters have been a thing in camera's for decades, right. It was a feature that went away when everyone decided that DSLR's were the form factor to shoot everything in because of cheapness. There is nothing game changing about this camera at all.

[@dannysart3990]

The best C70 Review. The restaurant had a awesome background. Great job.

[@dna8269]

Awesome review! For me its a bit tough to choose between this and the BMPCC6K Pro. The 6K sensor, 1500nit screen, BMD OS, price, and image quality are tough to pass up on. The original selling point for me with the C70 was the autofocus, but after seeing multiple reviews say it isn't as accurate as one might hope, that knocks it down a few notches for me in comparison to the pluses of the 6K pro. Also, you can throw the battery grip on the 6K pro and the footage becomes even more stable with great battery life. Tough choice overall, though.

[@BrendanEvan]

So funny that he went straight to Gene when he asked if anyone was vlogging with it. If anyone would want that quality and be silly enough to vlog with it, it’s him!

[@amadoukromah9803]

Would you ever do a C70 vs Fx6 video?

[@RobbieBackpacking]

Dude, this camera is a GAME CHANGER! Netflix approved!!

[@CinemaSteve]

I looooove my C70 compared to other cinema cameras I’ve shot on. This was the perfect balance between having the features (minus RAW and full sized ports) of a C300 Mk III especially with all the buttons and built-in ND, and the portability of a DSLR. It’s such a great in-between camera. Not to mention I love RF glass and the image stabilization that comes with all the RF L glass like the 15-35, 24-70, 70-200 f2.8. It really has blown me away.

[@tombuck]

I love you’re reviews. And I know it’s not giving the video credit to focus on this, but hot dang, this thumbnail is outstanding. 😎

[@stalman]

🙏 thumbnails are the hardest part

[@dvdaltizer]

Amazing video dude and such gorgeous footage!!! I LOVE that wooden camera handle setup. I need to get one! Thanks for the shoutout! I use the sun hood now but I also bought an anti-reflective screen protector that has really helped. Basically makes the screen a nice matte finish.

[@f0t0b0y]

5:29 I did in the beginning until I looked it up, screen brightness is actually changed in the screen luminance. So much brighter.

[@ElBoyoElectronico]

Man, this is my dream camera! I love my R and my R6, since I also take photos, but someday I will get the C70.

[@Ed_Scott]

This camera paired with the DZO Pictor zooms.......that’s my dream combo. I’m gonna make it happen.

[@tobywinarto9479]

Gotta say... that was one of the best ways I've ever seen someone get me to attentively watch through an ad read

[@stalman]

Hope you clicked that link too! 😆

[@josemolinar2282]

I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now but I just subscribed, it’s has been amazing to watch you grow, evolved your style and to learn many things with you. Thank you so much Stalman, keep the hard work, I’m excited to see where you’ll go.

[@GriffinConway]

Nice review Tyler! Loving the c70 so far. Also, the cine 7 looks good on the wooden camera top handle. I might have to pick one of those up. Thanks for sharing!

[@vinyleyezz]

Great vid Tyler 👍 Definitely getting this camera 🎥

[@thomasgiles2012]

Because I have been hearing Tyler talk about this camera and the other cameras that he considered buying instead of this one through the podcast it really makes the video have new meaning. It feels like listening to a friend talk because I know the behind-the-scenes thoughts and process he went through on choosing that camera. Solid work on the video and podcast Tyler!

[@stalman]

I spend sooo much time thinking about every upgrade, thanks for following the journey! 😁

[@DunkOnDunks]

Great video! I just finished it at work and when I’m off I get to go home and mess around wit my c70 cause my SmallRig Kit/cage/bottom and top plates with handle came today!!!

[@SneekeeMonkee]

I've never really paid much attention to the Canon camp of things but this review changed that. This looks fantastic for everything packed into it!

[@Ritalie]

I've never owned a professional level camera, and this camera has every feature I've ever wanted. After years of researching cameras, this one is the one I want the most. WOW.

[@MuhammadAwaisArif]

Passion for camera id growing as i am saving to get my first camera

[@noureldainnoureldain5851]

This is c100 mk iii that we were waiting for

[@DavidMorseMusic]

Canon still sells brand new C100 mk2s for $2,000 which is ludicrous.

[@EricvanVuuren]

Love my C70! However, unfortunately my LCD also nearly broke, but has been repaired within a week thanks to Canon CPS. Strange though since nothing extreme happend. Also make sure to change the LCD brightness to +2, it makes it easier to view the image in bright sunlight, without losing info on exposure. Thanks for the video, keep it up 🤘🏻

[@dlovisuals]

Yes! Great video Tyler. It’s crazy how small this is compared to other cinema cameras. I’m currently saving up for the C70 and it’ll pair very well with my R6.

[@robjamesvideo]

R5 now has Clog3 with the latest firmware

[@justmattgray]

stopping mid vid to comment....best ad implementation i've ever seen. efficient af.

[@OttoOlavinen]

Autofocus seems a little off (I have a big 4k monitor so it's enough to bother me). Comparison shot with Eos R seemed less sharp? Back focused? This needs eye autofocus. This comes from a c100 user who has struggled with the focus at times.

[@shagral_]

it's the adapter. it softens the image like crazy. Every c70 video I see on my 48" 4k OLED is soft like EOS R 1080p. And c70 owners don't talk about it (except Carlos)

[@Joramjonah]

Would love to see this Canon C70 and Sony FX series or Sony A7sIII

[@TylerEdwards]

Great video, Tyler! I really would love to add a C70 to my kit one of these days.

[@KanishkGupta]

When he said It has built-in NDs, immediately deleted the A7sIII from my cart😎

[@wcsdiaries]

it's that important? can't you just increase the shutter speed?

[@youtt1011]

@@wcsdiaries you can't since shutter speed needs to be fixed at twice the framerate. video is not photo :)

[@wcsdiaries]

@@youtt1011 but why? I do it all the time on my videos. Who cares if theres less motion blur?

[@youtt1011]

@@wcsdiaries if you don't care that's fine, a professional would never do it tho just because it looks so much worse

[@wcsdiaries]

@@youtt1011 i dont get it though. why does less motion blue look so bad?

[@TechnicalRookie]

Really wished I could afford to get the C70. Solid video by the way!

[@DaveSy]

Love the way this review is structured and paced! Liked and subbed.

[@mikestechy]

Great video, man! Have been really curious about the C70. Quite an impressive review! Well done!

[@gundisrambo9054]

I think you have missed out on two things. Only three EF-Lenses are fully approved so far, and especially with some older lenses (like my beloved EF 85 mm F 1,2) you lose some functionalities). On the other hand, the object tracking AF option is an amazing tool, very helpful, as well as the „face only“ tracking option. Great stuff for solo operators.

[@pacificostudios]

I'm trying to decide between C70 and C200. The lack of an EVF is a significant factor, even though the C70 has a lot of features that the current C200 lacks. But when all else fails. I want my Mk I eyeball looking through the lens, and that means some kind of viewfinder. Right now, I have an XC10, and I rely on that viewfinder, especially when shooting outdoors.

[@williamji]

love the episode u forget to mention how easy to scrub through your media on this camera!

[@simonehrenheim4448]

Pls do a FX6 & C70 side by side

[@ryansulak]

I’m so close to pulling the trigger on this camera but your comment on how it’s hard to see the screen in broad daylight is such a punch to the gut. I don’t really know if the fx3 is that much better in that dept but it’s def. Between the two for solo travel videography. Thoughts?

[@nicholasboule5134]

Great to see canon taking ques from the masters of Cheap High quality

[@cmckenna]

Fantastic review, intelligently done and brilliantly storyboarded as you move through the city in challenging lighting areas. Tried it yesterday, and completely agree with you. I just hope the LCD lasts long term too.

[@WestCoastDP]

Nice review. But snow should be white not a warm tint.

[@Sutterjack]

Good impressions - No EVF - not even a optional one was a big deal breaker for me. The C70 has a lot to like, but at it's price point there's a lot of choices to consider

[@aregal]

Dude, you're rocking the 16-35mm/2.8 II. I love that specific lens!

[@jessetimmmiller1870]

First video guy to mention preamps. Audio guy nods with approval. 🙏

[@frankfeng2701]

7:37 I find the fixed hand grip to be uncomfortable to hold at a lower angle. I prefer the rotatable grip on FX6.

[@stalman]

Totally agree

[@itsonlynixx]

This camera is great and all but does it really stack up against the new bmpcc6k pro and it’s price point? that camera really packs a punch especially for us indie filmmakers on a budget.

[@TaylorBrownPhotoVideo]

Great video ! Really thinking about getting one to upgrade my c200 since it came out.

[@SretloW]

Great review and like your jacket/shirt, what brand is that Tyler? greetings from Holland!

[@kirkeric]

Great review. I seem to be at a decision point between the Lumix GH6 and this C70. Obviously this is twice the cost but I have a C100 at least so I don't need new glass. Big decisions.

[@StupidRaisins]

Not sure if I would walk around and use it as a vlog camera but still looks like a solid camera. Thanks for the video Tyler!

[@wildernessandme1744]

IMAX camera is best for vlogging.

We love this camera too and can’t wait to take it underwater! Thanks for the great reviews as always :)

Are you liking your choice

[@MrOmniscience]

Thanks for making this. Appreciate all the C70 footage. I thought you had the Canon R6, why the R instead? Thanks again.

[@ruff1draft]

Would love to use the Canon C70 in conjunction with the just recently released Canon R7 as they have the same size censor and both have unlimited recording and can both do 10 bit

[@schuey323]

Couldn't agree more. That's what I've got and I love it so much! Great video!

[@donhendricks3190]

High Value overview - most helpful. I'm guessing that a C70 Mark ii will present in a body that feels like a true quality build (more than the plastic feel here) - right? Anyway, your review has me sold - I'll be ordering it this week (honey, can I get just one more camera? pleeeeze?) Thanks for your great content, Tyler! Cheers.

[@stalman]

What they really need to improve is the quality of the hinge, I’ve seen it break for so many people

[@joaquinhernandez6940]

Don't forget that it is also Netflix approved!

[@I_Am_Jos_A]

great Video Tyler. Are you going to do any comparisons with the C300 miii. I am stuck between the two lol!

[@bobsteinfinkel]

thanks for good overview video...small point on R6 from the end, I don't like the record button on the R6, it's easy to accidentally shut it off when you are trying to move focus point on screen during shooting

[@MarkViewz]

Great Review & Personality

[@SNYEFILMS]

It’s always so much fun to use. Great video!

[@allanapollon4304]

I am still wondering what camera he used to make the video, the color is incredible. I’m really curious.

[@anamtstories4602]

I am liking this camera even more and I am thiking to purchase this camera.

[@kunsunrethy]

Tyler always make me feel like I should go back to Canon it hurts.

[@TheBigBlueMarble]

Everyone seems to be focusing on the high FPS (i.e. slo-mo) for the C70. Would really like to see a vid about shooting timelapse.

[@CrumpPump]

So we not gonna talk about the black magic pocket cinema camera 6K pro?

[@stalman]

For sure, but they deserve their own videos

[@CrumpPump]

@@stalman yeah of course😌 can’t wait for you to make it!

[@NOTLeavingLV]

1:00 why is this out of focus. Immediately recognized my hometown, but it seems to be sharper than you are in many of the shots. Was that the camera? Also 3:45 the light flicker is pretty bad. What was the framerate vs shutter? KZbin says it is 24fps. Was shutter at the right speed?

[@stalman]

It’s when the lights are out of sync, their refresh is too slow for flow motion footage

[@chelseababcock91]

When you figure out how to rig it out with a monitor/EVF, could you do a quick video on that?

[@Empirefilmzentertainment]

Video totally convinced me to get the c70

[@drknsss17]

Hi! I like to ask what people who make declarations like the title of this video what the context of their statement. If you shoot KZbin videos about cameras why do you need to shoot with a cinema camera other than you have the money to do it? I would love to see your work outside of YT. The C70 looks like a great documentary camera thou!

[@ExploreTravelCapture]

Holy crap this camera is gorgeous. 😭 hoping the r6 will look at least be comparable with clog 3

[@Shawn_Kelley]

Great review, Tyler. Two quick questions: So what happens if you put an EF-mount APS-C lens on the C70, like the 18-35 Sigma - you'd still need the Canon .71X adapter for EF, but would it work? Also, with full frame EF glass and adapter, does the auto-focus and stabilization work well?

[@marclattoni1959]

Great video of C70 capabilities. Very pleased with mine and the 0.71 adapter but with the same worry about the joystick and the screen hinge. But the thing that really got my attention were the shots of the Moroccan Restaurant. What's the name of the restaurant? Thanks.

[@stalman]

It’s called the Casbah, beautiful little place!

[@malypavel25]

Very humble...

[@aov_james]

6:10 i'm watching on 5k lg display and seems c70 is soft on face and r is spot on face then 9:04 switched over to 16-35 focus is pretty much on point

C70: The Cinema Camera for Everyone? Nonono... Did you forget about all of black magic´s offerings? The only strong point I see for the C70 is canons AF but then its a match between the C70 and the A7sIII.

[@SpencerStanley]

I think the C70 is awesome but what about the FX6????? 🤔 ordering one this week

[@ryanbishop3586]

Would you do a video comparing the R5 to the C70?

@@corail53 still a great, affordable option for the majority of us! same with the fx3, fx6, r5c, etc. so many rad cameras are on the market

[@jesusmm3291]

🧡🟢❤️🔴Hiiiii Please. What Lavalier micro do you use ? (And that lavalier do you put in the Rode wireless go 2 ?)

[@shagral_]

C70 is nice if you already stuck with bunch of Canon/EF gear. Starting from scratch FX6 is better deal all around, no matter how you slice it. True fullframe, waaay better AF, best ND system on the market, crazy lowlight capabilities, way less rolling shutter, better body ergonomics, more modular, RAW out, the list goes on...

[@stalman]

As usual, the Sony feature list is much more impressive but after spending years using both the Canon usability is still worth it for me

[@DethronerX]

Full Frame? Or Cropped Id go with c500, if c70 is cropped

[@avdcam]

Hey Tyler, for exterior shooting have you tried bumping up your luminance to +2? on the display brightness? I find it helps a lot, but still not ideal obviously.
