    Some wishes for c70 II, 4:3 sensor for anamorphic shooting, IBIS, updated eye AF, built in variable electronic ND. With those specs it would be a dream camera since I am already loving the image it produces

    Great summary of a great camera. We film daily with two C70s. One has a third party viewfinder (we use one from Zacuto, filming without would be difficult), an extra mic and a side handle. The other C70 has no accessories attached as we normally mount it on or in a car, use it with a gimbal, carry one on a shoot as a backup camera, or use it for filming a side shot on a tripod. The ND filters (a fabulous features), autofocus, dynamic range, dual card slot, RF mount and availability are its major selling points. Forget about the nonsense on UA-cam from reviewers who don't film. As this video nicely summarizes, the C70 is a great Netflix certified cinema camera.

    I'm with you, great camera. But "entry level"? You have to be kidding. Maybe entry level for total PRO production? But the BM6k, the GH6, one of the Sony cams...those are all closer to being "entry level" pro quality. In fact, I went with the GH6 as it had most of what the C70 does, aside from built-in NDs. And it delivers for literally less than half the price ($2200). The BMP4K is half again on price ($1200-ish), and offers outstanding quality images. Clearly entry level means different things to different people. But they are all amazing cameras.

    • @Crimsonengine
      @Crimsonengine  2 роки тому +4

      I think the BMP are great for learning and personal projects but they're not pro cameras in the sense someone is going to hire you to shoot with them. Likewise with the GH6.

    Rather go with a Sony FX6, as Canon has gone on the warpath against anybody else using the RF Mount 😕Nobody will be allowed to make AF lens for the RF Mount!

      EOS C70 is a beast of a camera (at least for my workflow) and I don't see perfect alternative, so I hope soon they will be able to do the same thing they did with EF lenses and open it up to third party companies, but until then I'll continue to use C70 because that's the only camera that works 100% for me. And suggesting FX6 vs C70 is a joke.
