Happy Wednesday, what are some cameras I should checkout and test?

Im so glad we live in an era, where we have SOO MANY GOOD OPTIONS (Sony, Canon, Blackmagic etc) but be loyal to a brand that matches our own technical AND emotional preferences. I am Canon all day everyday, but my BEST FRIENDS, who are so talented as well, are Sony. Much love, and much peace to all us creators. We make the world better.

The C70 is truly a GOAT camera. It is my very first canon camera too and didn’t really like canon beforehand. The C70 changed my mind for sure!!!! I’m glad it’s working for your workflow and the direction your career is going bro!!!

🙏May more blessings come your YC.. you've been a great inspiration to a lot of us

Thanks YC! Great video. This is the next camera on my list. Would love to learn how you use LUTs with the C70 and what your workflow/process looks like for color correction and grading.

C70 with the raw update makes this a beast of a cam. Its too flexible to deal with everything I love it

I actually just picked up a C70. And you were a big reason I did! And honestly, as soon as I picked it up and turned it on, I can't explain it, but it just "felt right". I used to always think about cameras, but now I just think about shooting, which is nice. That said, in regard to future content suggestions, I'm super curious about anamorphic options on the C70, like the Vazen (RF Version), the Great Joy, Sirui, Laowa Nanomorph, etc. Would love to see what any of those options would look like in your style.

Lovely review. Thank you. Very helpful and enjoyable!

I see you YC I just got the C70 a few months ago and I love it. Running it with the R6 and I'm looking forward to seeing what I can do

Beautiful footage/color, Chrystopher.

Starting in media as a photographer that shoot 💯 RAW, canon had my full and undivided attention out the gate. The things I can do to the dynamic range of a raw photo is insane. As becoming a filmmaker, my 8bit canon bodies held me down (took care of me very well) for years. But as I perfected my craft, it was like shooting with jpgs. Then came black magic 6k. Once I got my hands on it as a gift, coupled with DaVinci Resolve… it totally hit different. First time in my professional history that I was able to walk away from canon bodies. Had I received a C70 or something cinema from canon that produce raw, I would’ve stayed in the eco system. But now I solely lean on my canon glass collection. I lost my auto focus but LiDAR tech has fixed that for me. Even having gyro stabilization now is making it harder for me to look back at canon bodies. Rigging the 6k is much more of a hassle honestly, but I love playing with these toys so I practice hard on speed building and versatility so when a situation arise, I can quickly adapt. I still would try a c70 though.

13:04 I use to be one who though that about Super 35, but once I got the C70, I said "TF was I thinking, this is amazing"

Talking me off a Sony ledge over here. You're right. Love my C70...

Really enjoyed your video, Chris. The C70 seems to have a lot going for it. I like that you covered pros and cons. Everything has its downsides. Exposure: I'm currently sporting the C200. Typically shoot in a studio setting. However, I recently took it on the road, to a trade show...shot some interviews, etc. I had some difficulty setting proper exposure, using the WFM (Waveform Monitor). The trade show was well-lit, which was great. But, some of the talking head footage had ceiling/wall lights in the background, which showed up on the WFM. In these instances, the WFM was very busy (subject's exposure vs background exposure, etc). At times, it was hard to make sense of. And of course, I accidentally left my gray card back in the hotel room. Guess, what I'm trying to say is, I love the C200, but I wish the C200 had built-in False Color. Not sure if the C70 is equipped with it. A Better Viewing Experience: I would love to have a camera that has False Color, and a way overlay LUTs on the monitor. To be able to see what the final image will look like, while filming, would be an awesome upgrade. As always, great video.

Good review and breakdown of the specs brother

I've been rocking the C70 for about a year as well. Love it. I agree with every single one of your takeaways. Honestly, I have used the RAW feature exactly ZERO times since the update. I love that it's there and that feature has won me a few clients, but I ended up not using RAW for those projects. HAHA! Don't need it.

If you do make a video about the z9, super curious about the internal raw video and the workflow. Love the content man!

I would like for you to review the Ursa Mini Pro 12k. Try to film 2 different projects with it (either a commercial, short film scene & or music video). I'm pretty sure you will fall in love with it.

This review was right on time. While I absolutely love my C70, I’ve been wondering lately whether I made a mistake in getting it. But you pretty much named all the same things I love about the camera (especially the softness of the images and the built-in NDs) and it made me realize that copping this was the right move. I still need to get something like the R5C because I need an even smaller footprint in some situations but the C70 is perfect. Like another commenter said, this joint is the GOAT camera!

Nice footage you got there! 🔥

Amazing content as usual 👏👏 thank you

I would so love for you to try a Canon R3. That's one I haven't seen you use. I know it's meant for a different kind of niche, but seeing it from your side would be dope

Thanks for the video man : D one thing about the canon raw I found was its cumbersome to use in premiere, but in Davinci it performs just as well as the X-AVC. Also, it opens up the ISO and other drop downs which really make shooting RAW LT worth it. The raw is especially handy in low light. Cheers

Bravo! Love this review. I’m a not a canon shooter but the C70 is my dream cinema camera.

I've been a Canon R6 user since 2020. Just picked up the C70 last month and I am blown away at how good the footage looks, even the lower quality 1080 codecs are incredible!

I Love this camera!🎥

God damn man... Your cinematography is fantastic! You make this camera shine

I am a Sony user and always liked the C200 (that was the monster kit that everybody wanted) and I know the C70 is now a great tool for all kind of jobs. Good that you are happy with Canon, in the end the results and the workflow is what counts. Keep 'em coming man, congrats.

Those low light shots looks amazing!

You dont go to an f/2 using the speed booster. It just isnt now like an f/4 when using the s35 size. It's now closer to being an f/2.8 again.

Excellent review!

I chose the Komodo over the c70 in 2021 due to it not having raw. Realized recently that I shoot more things on my own and purchased a canon c70 now that raw is an option. I love it. Don't get me wrong I love my Komodo too but my work horse is the canon C70.

Great detailed video… What do you think of the R5c? Thx!!

Dope review , I had the c70 but I moved to the Sony , I love the fact that it did have 10 stops of Nd and added raw into it

Thanks a lot sir !

I agree with most of what you said here, I also have the C70 since it came out last year and it's an incredible camera. The one point I would counter is that, the low light on this camera is much better than most other Canon cameras, even full frame!! Yes, it true that Sony cameras are much better in low light situations, with less noise due to the technology on their sensors, however, the noise from low-light image from the C70 is actually very pleasing, it's hard to explain, you have to see it to understand what I mean. It looks more like film noise than digital noise, and it can easily be cleaned up with noise reduction in post, which would make it rival the Sony's (as long as you have a powerful computer to process it). But yes, the low light on this camera is actually very nice and depending on the style you're going after, I'd say it actually gives night-time clips a characteristic that no other camera can reproduce. I'm not saying this because I have it, although it is my favorite camera for video, but for people to see it and know that this is actually a contender to the FX6 and FX3 in low light. To illustrate, take a look at a short film I did last year, with only ambient light at night.... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ns2BY9tjrbCym4E.html

I love this review for many reasons. 1- It shows a busy filmmaker creating lots of great pieces and talking out of the vast experience with the camera. 2- You owned your opinion and show maturity by saying that this camera is giving you what you need in this season of your career. 3- Thanks for not complaining about all the things that the camera doesn’t so for you. I am am tired of mediocre KZfaqrs complaining because the camera doesn’t fix their lack of knowledge or bad filmmaking. This is a great camera, I own and Arri Alexa mini and a two canon C70s. They shoot perfect B cams for my Arri and to be perfectly honest I find myself traveling with this camera really often while living my mini behind. Great work man!

I would definitely love to see you test out the R5c and how it compares to the C70

Great review. I agree with everything you said for likes and dislikes. Always love seeing your stuff YC!

I’ve put the c70 in some great low light situations and found the footage extremely usable. I’ve shot on the FX6 an FX3 and they don’t compare to the C70. Internal ND is amazing and with the Viltrox Speedbooster it’s equivalent to full frame. I primarily use the 24-105mkii and Canon 50mm 1.2 for all my run and gun!

listen... :D i got the c70 + speedbooster and EF L glass.. to go with that i got the R5C + batterygrip + the ND filter adaptor.. and angelbird 1 TB cf express card, and it is great!!! love it.. the two combined A + B cam is and you can use the R5C for photos when not used for video.. brilliant combination. And the R5C is crazy in low light when set to native iso 3200.. amazing. Both have timecode for my tentacle syncs together with the tentacle track E.. ultimate setup, really. (for longer shoots you would need a V-mound and a usb camble for the R5C though, it is power hungry.

Hey Great video! Which Dtap battery are you using? Thank you!

Canon was a leader in the prosumer space for a while, although always at the cost of size and weight. But Sony now has a very comfortable lead on canon in that arena.

I would like to see a review on the FX3!

Love our C70! The battery on is insane

Much love bro From Sierra Leone West Africa

I'd like to see you review a Red Komodo, V Raptor, or Gemini 5k. R5c vs C70 would be cool content to see too.

One area the C70 excels is in dynamic range. It even beats the RED Komodo and any other camera in this price range.

Yeah the C70 is like the perfect middle ground with a lot to offer. Just recently got my hands on a C200 as I got a good deal and it was in my budget. I love the RAW and I don’t think the files are huge compared to the R5 and it edits/plays back really well. Even the 8bit is really solid! That and my R5 will more than get me through for now. Canon for life 🤞🏽😂

Love my c70!

When the Zcam F6 pro comes out please review that camera. I really love to hear your opinion on it

Hey man... I really hope you see this Got a question a lil unrelated: I'm about to buy my first camera... I'm a hybrid shooter and I'd decided to go in for the R6. But with the news of Canon banning the production of 3rd party lenses, I'm beginning to tilt towards the A7IV as it has much cheaper and broader lens options. You think that's the right move?

Nice video bro! Try out the X-H2S!!!!

Your work is impressive, quick question, do you like using the camera on a gimbal? I have a similar issue with the shape of the camera,, I wish it had the rotating handle like my other cinema cameras

I'd like you to review the FX3/FX6, if you can find one FX6!

I’ve came across a clip that showed for low light to use clog 3 instead of clog 2 …. Clog 2 gives you the best dynamic range but clog3 gamma curve helps in lower light situations

im sold this will be my next camera

If we could see you experiment with the Sony FX6 that'd be great. See what you can get with that

C300 review would be great!

I love canon but I try the Fuji gfx 100s. And I’m in love with the video quality.

I'll love to see you use the Lumix S5

Looks like I’m going for RED Komodo. Been with Canon for 10 years. Moving out of doc work into narrative. I think Komodo will be good for me. Maybe have a look since it looks like you do a lot of music videos and narrative storytelling? All the best brother!

would be sick to see some r5c or r3 reviews!

please, could you give me some advice? what do you think about this camera compared to canon R5C? which one is better?

It would be great to see you check out the Red Komodo. Compare the perks of global shutter to rolling shutter and other features

Great review.

C70 is a dream come true for solo filmmakers like myself. Ther will always be a but in all cameras.

I'd like to see some tips and thoughts on the R5C as a combo photo/video camera. I kind of think RAW files are getting easier and easier to work with but basic knowledge of how to properly use RAW in workflow is not commonly known or understood. Guys at Ripple training seem to be on top of passing along workflow knowledge. Sorry to run on an on. Thanks for the content,

I'm thinking of making a huge jump from my Lumix GH6 to C70. Never used Cannon before. Is it necessary to pop a Cine lens on the C70 or can I get away with an f-stop lens and have decent cinematic quality?

Good observations - I've been a Canon shooter a long time but honestly my loyalty has been stretched thin at some times. That said I've always liked the color science and "look" of the Canon and I find the files really painless to grade. I just upgraded to a C70 after shooting a C100 M2 for years so I'm used to the super 35 format. I agree-once you have a cine camera with NDs and built in audio you can't go back. Very manageable file size and excellent battery life. I got this camera with full knowledge of it's strength and weaknesses and so far no regrets. I knew the low light wouldn't be that great and the autofocus was really improved with the firmware update, but again I knew it's limitations and my expectations were not excessive. Still a lot to like about this reliable workhorse. I miss the EVF and I'm working on a DIY solution -

Good job brother 👏 👍. I would like you to review the Sony Fx9 😀 👍

your work is so good bruh

I would love to see you check out a Red camera to see if you can push it to its limits. Great content as always!

What profile do you film the C70 in? Do you use any LUTs?

I am the same way, I currently have the canon r3 r5c r6 gave my son my r5 so I don’t see myself going anywhere. Plus I have friends with Sonys and let’s just say the grass is definitely not greener on the other side, lol. Anyways excellent video as always.

Please try the panasonic eva-1, been thinking about getting it as my cinema camera, I would like to see how it compares to the c70 as far dynamic range and overall usability

Z Cam E2 S6 might be interesting to check out.

While I wanted a c70, it was more than I wanted to spend. I went with the gh6, which in some ways feels like a Jr. version of the c70. Both very video centric with great capability.

Would you say the autofucus is better on the c70 or the C200?

c70 or fx6 ,which is better in low light please??

What lens are you using for the bedroom bathroom scene starting 2:05?

Bro, tell me, have you test the Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 and the Sigma 24-35mm F2 with your C70? Wish one is better to pair with the C70?

Can you do a cinema review of the R5?

So it’s so crazy that you dropped this lol I’ve only ever used cannon it was my first like real camera and then my first cinema camera was and still is a black magic but I started looking into this one and then you dropped the video so it must be destiny lol

C70 is dream for many filmmakers 🔥❤️

R5C!

Gotta see you and the canon R5C

Do you have any videos comparing the C70 and the R5C

Man I think you should try the a7siii/fx3 in a low light situation.

You also do a review on Canon R7 too

Hey whats up? I would like to hear your thoughts on the r5c

Would love to see your opinion on the X-H2S!

What’s up Chris? I bought the c70 before it was released a couple of years ago. I was wondering why back then you weren’t on it but everyone likes what they like. My issue is using my RS2 at times. The positioning with the plate seems a off to me.

Can you review the R5C and compare it to the C70?

I would like you to try out the sony A74

Would like to see you review the Fuji XH2 or XH2S

What’s your take on the C300 mkii?

Which is better with the R3 6k internal raw fullframe

How you feel about the C70 is how I feel about my Fujifilm X-H2S. You should try it out.

I love my C70. The only camera I love more is the Komodo. Not because it's "Better" the C70 is far more functional. The komodo is just fun. And the form factor I prefer for the traveling I have to do.
