Canon R5 vs. Canon C70 - In-Depth Video Shootout!

[@pixelpearlproduction538]

Me: using 800d for music videos Parker: c70 for talking head shots Your an inspiration bru.

[@prof.purpur]

I'm too using 800D for wedding videos and others

[@MichaelTrappmann]

Its worth noting that the latest firmware update for the R5 did an AMAZING job on fixing overheat. Since I got that version, I had zero overheats. And I use 4k60 and 4khq a lot. Even 4k120 (which always overheated quickest) practicaly doesnt overheat at all in my work. :-)

[@Angelo_Paduraru]

Yes, the R5 is not the same camera as was before. And is about to come a new “big” firmware update for R5 now in April.

[@9to5Mac]

Great video! I've had the R5 for about 4 months now and have been very curious about the C70. I agree with the solution to use both instead of choosing one over the other. They both have amazing attributes.

I switched from Nikon to Canon in January. Bought R5 and C70. Great combo. Tackles everything.

[@oakckickz2829]

What profiles yo do you shoot in to make the footage match?

[@IanCDunneFilmsNC]

I have both. Plus an r6. We’re talking about two different qualities of image here though. One sensor is the same as a c300 mkiii (a $10k camera), and one isn’t. Also, one is Netflix approved (which speaks to the quality), and one isn’t. That said - I love the r5 as a B or C cam. It’s not a cinema camera though. Not even close.

I do not understand Why do some people exaggerate the problem of Canon overheating? I share my personal experience in a professional project I have been shooting documentaries with the Canon R5 for more than 3 months We shoot for an average of 7 hours a day 80% of the time our format is in 4K HQ Many of the shots are shot at 4K 120 frames and 8K Most locations are outdoors - under direct sunlight | (of course it is winter now) We did not have a problem with the camera overheating even once Just turn off the camera when you are not recording

same thing for me never overheated used it for more than 3 months now but i can't really judge because i used it for short takes like short commercials , and coverage but never let me down once.

[@AustrianGeek]

An R5c with better cooling, without time limit, dual card recording and full size HDMI would be the sweet spot for many I guess. I personally also hope for it to hit the market (as I have already lenses lying around for the RF mount ^^). Though: Could be a "no go" for Canon to protect the bigger cameras in the cinema lineup. The hardware would be capable of doing it. If necessary, they could even remove the internal sensor stabilisation (to keep the sensor cooler). Wouldn´t be that of a big deal with such a small camera (basically every standard gimbal supports the R5 size and weight).

[@rumethmunasingha1500]

Quality content, No time wasting straight into the point, Thank you for this amazing content Also would love to see a Canon C70 vs BMPCC 6K or 6K pro when it comes out with Landon

[@RockyMaiviaMiami]

Love the video! Frustrating how many times we had to mention the options that were “allowed” on the R5. 10bit in standard and no record limit have always been a huge deal to me. Love my R5, but A7siii users have my envy of all the freedom.

[@MatteoTorrisiOfficinaDelPilota]

I am a Canon R5 and R5c video gay. I did switch to Sony a7s3 couple of months ago but After four weeks of using The Sony i did switch back to Canon R5 for many many reasons

I'm still shooting with an sl2 for my A-cam. 4 years of photos and 2 with video for that entry-level camera. But I'm upgrading everything and will probably go with the C70 for A and R5c as a B-cam.

C70 has very nice, smooth, separated tones, almost like a medium format still camera or an alexa. the difference seems huge. ND filters are worth more than the difference in price, when shooting demanding, fast paced projects. weight can be a pro.

[@FourPeaksFilms]

Loved the review. I side on the C70 just because of my work and workflow. FYI, your last item is incorrect, while still correct. The R5 is a better camera (by far), but the C70 does take pictures. Just set a custom button to do so.

[@NeilSnapePhotography]

Glad to see such realistic evaluations by using real footage and usage. Most reviewers don't actually use the cameras in situations making comparisons rather weak. I feel confident in knowing what gear is capable of from your videos.

[@JADURCA]

I found that the C70 shodow recovery is insane, with lots of image quality and detail!

[@davidnagy8644]

Thanks for the comparo. I did notice that you actually can take photos, although it seems the resolution is only as high as the video mode selected. See page 42 of the C70 manual.

[@GriffinConway]

Nice video Parker. Thanks for sharing your take on the two cameras.

[@christiansantiagophotography]

I own both as well. And honestly they have their pros and cons but the overheating should take 3 points off the r5. Can’t reward a camera for not being reliable while shooting it in its best modes.

[@austonr]

I've been looking all over KZbin for a comparison video between the two 🙏🏿finally! Thank you for this !

[@thefilmpoets]

Love ya, but DR on the c70 should be tested with Clog2. It's 2 stops more than the r5 and one fo the stops is in the shadows. Beautiful.

[@SLIMHATORIKATANA]

True, I don't see my self buying c7 to shoot straight of the camera, Clog 2 combined with DGO sensors is the true magic

[@onlysublime]

if you put the regular 4k mode in crop mode, you get very near 4K HQ quality and don't have to worry about overheating. in this crop mode, you're getting the oversampling from 8k down to 4k. 4K HQ mode is gorgeous because it's oversampling a full frame 8K down to a full frame 4K. but that's a lot of pixels to process and results in overheating. in crop mode, you don't have to process those cropped out pixels so you get nearly the same level of detail as the 4K HQ mode. all you have to do is manage the cropping.

[@SonnyBCreative]

crop mode is 6k oversampled

[@onlysublime]

@@SonnyBCreative with the end result that you're practically getting 4K HQ mode but with no overheating.

[@joshdiditt]

I just got a C70 and you can take photos. It's just buried in the menu. Great review.

[@TazawaTanks]

Great video! The built-in ND filters should be worth a bonus point though! Lol! I’ve really been considering the C70, but haven’t pulled the trigger yet, as I want to see what else is coming that’s full frame.

[@sebastian89mm43]

Great video Parker - thanks! To add one little feature: for those who shoot 9:16 (flipped image vertical) the C70 shows the display menu in the right way which is a very convenient feature for social media and also Greenscreen productions...

[@destinationnew]

Thank you - very helpful. Tough call but I went with the C70 and use an EOS R for stills (& backup). The ability to edit 4K XFAVC easily on a MacBook Pro in my hotel room was a big factor.

[@Chetan-K]

[@jeffwisener1378]

Buy an Atomos Ninja V Monitor for the R5, record externally and no overheating issues making the R5 the better choice.

Great video as always. Just an FYI, you can assign a custom button on the C70 to capture an image, so technically, you can take pictures with the C70 (note: It is however a 'frame-grab' from the video, so the R5 still rightly wins that category).

[@KaiTiura]

Wow, Parker, great review! I'm not even interested in the C70, and I have an R5, but I liked this video anyway for the in-depth info you touched on. A lot of it reaffirms what I love about my R5. The overheating issue goes away when recording on the R5 with a Ninja V, so that's not an issue any more in my opinion. The codec is easier to edit with Ninja V files until you get into 8K, which no one really uses much anyway, so again a non-issue of sorts. The CFX card I bought was $400, so that's certainly a consideration, but I shoot mostly photos with a bit less in video, and the CFX card gives me easy control of buffer maxing, but I guess that's not really an issue here because the C70 isn't a photo camera. But it does have to be said that the R5 will shoot for a LONG time recording with the Ninja V without ANY overheating issues, so that point may actually be a wash. I see this as a 10-9 win for the R5. I'll take that! PLUS, the R5 shooting 4K HQ can be considered a win because recording on the Ninja V doesn't overheat, so that one's either a wash or an R5 win. AND I saved about a third of the price of the C70 on my R5 (not "half") and all my moving bird photos or moving subject photos come out at 80-90% good in the worst conditions, even with a 60-600mm Sigma zoom, which is insane. So, in answer to your question, the R5 definitely hits the most marks for me. Thanks for the deep dive on this review!
