Canon EOS C70 Body

Canon EOS C70

The EOS C70 is a Cinema EOS camera with RF mount and a Super 35mm DGO 4K sensor. Featuring 4K 120P Slow Motion, a wide dynamic range and Dual Pixel CMOS AF in a compact body.

The design includes a multifunctional grip with three customisable mode dials and a multi-directional joystick, enabling intuitive control of the video camera. The body is constructed from carbon fibre and polycarbonate, making it a strong yet lightweight workhorse. Its compact form factor means you can easily mount the body on gimbals, handheld or shoulder rigs, drones and FPV helmets.

The EOS C70 boasts an impressive dynamic range of over 16 stops. This is achieved because every pixel on the Dual Gain sensor is read at two gain levels (high and low). This combination not only preserves detail and quality in both highlights and shadows, but actively enhances them. By taking advantage of Canon's advanced Canon Log 2 & 3 gamma profiles, you can be confident of capturing footage that offers outstanding flexibility in post-production. It also supports standard PQ and HLG HDR.

Professional video equipment typically offers a wide selection of frame rates, resolutions and formats to meet almost any requirement. The EOS C70 goes a step further with DCI 4K recording up to 120fps in 10-bit 4:2:2. For even greater speed, a Super 16mm crop option enables DCI 2K recording up to 180fps. Users can even load custom LUTs to preview the look and record footage using Long GOP encoding via XF-AVC, HEVC and H.264.

The Dual Pixel CMOS AF system in the C70 uses Canon's EOS iTR AF X, built with deep learning technology, and can track moving subjects with greater accuracy. In particular, a head-detection algorithm for face detection mode delivers improved accuracy and reliability. Even before these upgrades, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system was regarded by many filmmakers and videographers as an incredibly powerful tool. The RF mount features a large diameter with short back focus, and the 12-pin communication ensures a fine balance between optical and electronic innovation. It also delivers excellent AF speed thanks to the range of Canon RF lenses.

The C70 features the Direct Touch Control system, enabling highly intuitive control of most settings via the large 3.5" vari-angle LCD touchscreen. You can change formats, resolution, start/stop recording, adjust aperture and more simply by tapping the screen. The entire camera is built with video in mind, offering numerous buttons for quick access to common settings and plenty of customisation options. For vertical shooting (ideal for social media), the C70 features a 1/4"-20 tripod socket on the side of the camera grip.
