o what is the Canon C70? It is the first EOS Cinema camera that is compatible with any RF lens from the Canon EOS R lineup. The camera features Canon’s 4K Super 35mm DGO (Dual Gain Output) sensor. with 4K 120P Slow Motion, High Dynamic Range, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The camera finds a new place in Canons Cinema line up below the C200 and C300 MkIII, though in my eyes the only lesser aspects of the C70 maybe it’s weight, size, and price. The C70 shares most of the features with its bigger brother, the C300 mkiii; while requiring less than half as much money to be called the owner.
Built-in ND Filters The C70 features ND filters of 2 / 4 / 6 / 8 / 10 Stops built into the body. This giving the filmmaker the flexibility to have more control over the shutter angle while not compromising from desired exposure. Dual Gain Output 16 Stops of dynamic range is achieved through the DGO sensor producing images optimised for high dynamic range by creating two images; one prioritises saturation in the highlight areas and the other prioritises lower noise in the low light areas. Professional standard audio The C70 gives the filmmaker comprehension audio capture control with 2 mini XLR 3-pin connectors, audio monitoring, built-in stereo microphones, and substantial audio gain control. All this makes the small form factor that much more impressive.
