I'm sold ! Thanks Griffin!

Thank you so much Keith!

I so agree

Yesssss

I'm just trying to be what you are for photography bro!

@@GriffinConway let’s both aim a bit higher 😉🙌🏼

Thanks so much Anders! Really appreciate the kind words. Seriously means a lot to me. 🙌🙌

I ditto that

Thanks a lot Scott! How are you liking the C70 these days?

@@GriffinConway Overall, it's great. I've put it through some wet conditions for shooting this fall and it seems to be running happily. I am starting to have the LCD screen issue and debating when I should ship it to Canon to get it fixed. It's not floppy yet but clicking. I'd also really like to see them provide view assist over HDMI when you are in review mode. I love using it when shooting but as soon as I go to review I have to turn on the LUT on my monitor which is a silly step in my workflow.

@@ScottBell totally agree on the lut when reviewing footage. It’s embarrassing when you are with a client and have to explain why it “looks all gray”. I had the screen hinge issue and sent it in and they fixed it in a few days and it’s great now

@@GriffinConway Yeah, I end up switching my LUT on and off on the Shinobi when reviewing. I like the look of the footage with the in-camera view assist more than the Canon LUT (not sure why they don't perfectly match) which is why I don't just leave the Shinobi LUT on all the time. How bad was your screen hinge when you sent it in? I don't want them to think mine isn't broken or something and not fix it. It's definitely on it's way but maybe I need it to be more broken first haha.

Thank you! I am very interested in the tascam module as well and plan to order as soon as it is available. I agree with the c70 AF in lowlight it is not the best. I tried tuning the responsiveness down in the R3 and it helped some for sure.

@@GriffinConway Definitely! I just Pre-ordered the Tascam on B&H.. just randomly showed up!

Same - our biggest interest right here as the work flow around raw doesn't make it a logical choice for the majority of our projects.

Awesome! R3 is such a beast

I think this will be coming to the channel for sure! The company I work with has the R5 so I will be testing that

Thanks Tyler! Ya the R3 is great for your work and complements the komodo perfectly. Actually I bet the R3 raw would match really well with the komodo files

Heck ya! That's awesome

That would be a great setup. The r5c (if it actually comes out) seems great. The R3 is a great camera though for sure. I plan on doing something on my channel with the non raw r3 footage vs c70 footage

@@GriffinConway waiting for this! :)

I agreed with all of this…until my c70 screen basically fell off with light, in studio use. I’m always shocked that buyers aren’t making a bigger deal of the c70 build quality. For Canon standards, I find it atrocious.

@@jasonnowwhat5041 In all fairness I have had to send one of my cameras back for a new screen/ hinge - I purchased my 1st C70 in November last year. Since the new screen I've never had any issues. My 2nd unit has never missed a beat. I'm a CPS member and there service is 2nd to none. CPS even sent me a loan unit while mine was away being repaired (3 days only). Of the times I've ever had to send equipment back to Canon for whatever reason (cleaning, repair, etc) its always been acceptable times and a loan available when needed. I couldn't ask for more than that. Cheers :)

I did a poll on my channel a few weeks ago (you can see it in the "community" tab) and this was the one people voted for the most.

When you shoot in RAW (cinema raw light) in the R3, you will have this filmic look like c200 or c300…

Once you have built in ND’s it’s so hard to go back to shooting with hybrids.

the size difference between all-i files and raw light files is not huge

The conclusion i came to is to buy both.

Haha ya I am excited for that one

Do you find yourself only as a video shooter, or a hybrid of photos and videos? If you only shoot video, I would personally go for the C70 as it is much easier to deal with the files

@@GriffinConway I make films 95% of the time. So I also think that the c70 as my first autofocus camera will be perfect :) Chears

@@WOLFMEDIA-MICHAL-WILK Dude the c70 is incredible. I LOVE mine. Codecs, dual recording, nds, audio controls etc have all been so nice to work with on the c70. It's really changed the way I shoot I love that I can rig out the c70 but I really don't have to. My only complaint with the c70 is the build quality. I've baby'd mine so far but a lot of people complain about there screen getting lose and about poor weather sealing. Other than that it's a great camera. If you do any sort of fast pace event work or interviews this is a great camera. If you shoot a lot in adverse weather or are really hard on gear you might be disappointed in the c70 and may want to lean towards the R3.

How far have you pushed the weather sealing on the C70 so far? I have tried to find more information about what kind of limits you can put it through, but there isn't much information out there unfortunately. I am really curious if anyone has tried testing something like this. Would be nice to know where I can keep the camera out, and where to just call it and put it away.

@@Topher0089 so I live in the PNW and have shot in light and slushy snow over like an hour. Camera was noticeably wet but did pretty well. I used a towel to wipe it down where I could and sometimes left the towel laying on top of the camera while shooting. I've also shot in light rain and it performed pretty well in shorter time increments. I will say if you plan on being in the elements over an extended time I would not feel comfortable with the C70. I'll be the first to admit I haven't done any specific testing, but it's more of a feel for the build quality of the camera. When I was shooting in the snow it seem to collect snow on and around the battery, around the hinges and buttons under the screen, and then a few other places. Those spots don't particularly have a ton of weather sealing and it definitely made me more nervous. 🤷🏻‍♂️ hope that's mildly helpful?🤷🏻‍♂️😂

@@Dannyhallfilms It definitely is! I just picked up the camera and haven't tested it at all in terms of weather conditions(here in Texas we typically don't really get much snow, and it hasn't been particularly rainy recently). I am definitely a bit nervous putting a piece of equipment at this price anywhere near water, but it will happen eventually, so this helps me judge the capabilities at least a little bit better. I appreciate it!

@@Topher0089 happy to help! I would say light rain and snow over shorter periods of time is fine. Extended times in rain or snow or super heavy rain or snow would make me really nervous. Carrying a towel to help wipe things down and cover the camera when you can, can help!

Dude! I would love to do that sometime. Headed to see the family this week but lets link up sometime or hit me up if you are ever in socal

I have the C70 with the speed booster. It’s definitely the speed booster. I have an R6 with the regular ef-rf adapter and it doesn’t give the flare. There is also a purple flare in the center that shows up and it’s not flattering at all. I love the C-70 though! I am about to invest in the 24-70 2.0 rf It’s going to be sick!

They are both amazing cameras. I have been using the c70 more because my team has multiple c70’s and it makes matching everything super easy. Also the autofocus is better with the “whole area” af mode on the c70 and the battery life is better. Also, size is easier for travel with the c70. All that said, it comes with some pretty heavy trade offs. The c500 mark ii raw is a better image. It’s got a true full frame sensor, so no extra glass to worry about causing glares. Also, when using pl mount glass it still retains the full frame field of view. It allows the operator to play back footage with a lut on it (the c70 won’t let you do this). Also, it offers 2 sdi and hdmi, and also full size xlr. It just comes down to the job for me. On bigger jobs the c500 is better. Run n gun / smaller jobs the c70 is better

@@GriffinConway I see. Thank you so much for your response. This is really helpful.

I have another one shot I just need to finish the edit. Aiming for end of this week!

@@GriffinConway Amazing! cant wait! Would love to see some r3 raw footage to download its that possible! thanks in advance!

Same!

Nice that’s a great setup!

Haha true!

The only reason I didn’t was because I didn’t have time to test it and the video was already going to be pretty long. I’ll try to cover that in a future video.

@@GriffinConway No one has posted a good lowlight test of the R3. Would love to see one!

Thank you I used a 1/4 tiffen black pro mist

I think for travel the r3 is probably the best camera on the market for hybrid stills/video use. I am traveling just for fun this month and I am bringing my R3 as my main cam

2:04 :)

@@GriffinConway Thank you! Missed it, because I watch KZfaq videos at 1.75X or 2X.

@@errolwebber haha I do the same thing! No worries. Thanks for watching!
