Honestly the best use case right here. Feel like this is a no brainer for I3 owners. Great video dude!

I cant wait to get mine...!! Nice video ... next time you need anythign DJI let me know!

love the i3 content! just ordered one myself

Thank you very much for such detailed backstage. Does the back shoot also on c70 ? If its true, what the lens was on it?)

You totally nailed my gripes with the C70 - I’ve just purchased one recently after shooting on a C100 M2 for years. Yes I love the C70 codec choices, image quality and improved autofocus. I thank Canon for the great firmware updates. I went into the purchase acknowledging the weaknesses of the super 35 sensor and the other quirks of this “odd duck” camera. The display is joke - especially because no EVF and it will be used frequently! The display hinge is horrible-even with the “improvement”. The C100 hinge is so strong you could swing the camera by the display (yes I’m exaggerating but you get the point) Yes, image is “soft” compared to other 4k cameras. Yes, the bottom plate is weird - I got a small rig plate which is almost a must. Yes, the build compared to the C100 is weak - seems like cheaper plastic. All said the camera still has a respectable feature set in a compact package. Great battery life for “run and gun” people in the field like me. I had to find a EVF solution shooting outdoors but I’m dealing with it. Overall still very happy with the camera even in 2024.

Yeah and now you have the shitty american government trying to ban dji sales.

Would you say you could use the C200 autofocus for sideline sports footage?

Looks fantastic

Did it have a EVF?

Seems like a C300III downgrade, besides the larger sensor and resolution.

what did they say about the usable dynamic range compared to the C70. I read that it is better than the c500 but the c70 is better.

Thanks for all the great tips! There are some real Lifesavers in there for me that I didn’t even know about.

Questionable understanding of the phrase “off the record” 😅

your car shots are really awsome!

Things you did not mention: No DGO sensor on the C400! This is likely due to it being full frame. But based on early tests, this camera does not appear to perform as well in the highlights as the C300 III and C70, and might even have slightly lower dynamic range. Check CVP’s dynamic range test. The highlight rolloff does appear to be harsher on the C400. Battery power! The C300 III and C70 will both last much longer than the C400 which will more than likely require V-Mounts, much like the C500 II. The C300 and C70 can run forever on small BPU batteries. No EVF! The omission of the EVF is huge to me coming from a C300 III and a C500 II. Canon’s on-camera LCD is not bright enough to be seen in mid-day, noon sun. I really wish Canon would have at least given us the option of bolting an EVF onto the back of the camera like they did with the C300 III and C500 II. The USB monitor is cool, but Canon has not confirmed that you will be able to utilize 3rd party monitors via that port!

You are the pro, but C70 colors > Alexa for me.

I have been shooting Blackmagic, but for commercial work the name “Ursa” does not carry any weight. So the Ursa’s are gone and though I have access to FX6 bodies when needed, I had not purchased any for my own kit in hope that Sony would release a next gen FX6 or FX9. Well looks like Canon has jumped ahead and I have put in a preorder for the C400. My biggest disappointment is the single CFExpress slot. Though there’s some consolation in having simultaneous proxies to the SD slot. I had a CFExpress card go bad on me recently. Thankfully this was during testing prior to a shoot so nothing was lost, but it was a reminder that solo card recording will always be a tightrope walk and client work can get lost when you least expect. Anyway, C400 it is for me going forward.

Hey Griffing, thanks for the info. I know you have a lot of experience with the C70. I would like to ask you two questions if you don’t mind: Speaking solely about dynamic range, how does the C400 stacked sensor compares to the C70s DGO sensor? Do you think this would replace the C70 or do you see a C70 Mark II coming in the future. Bonus question: Would you buy the C400 to replace your C70s? Thanks a lot for your content, it led me to get the C70 and it was a money maker for me for the last couple of years.

will you get a pre prod model to review before they ship? if so, any idea when? 😅 I'm australian and our financial year ends 1st of july, considering making an investment but want to see some more in depth reviews

Nice video. Any word on viewfinders, either from Canon or 3rd parties?

What I am curious about is qualitative difference between the DGO sensor in C-70 & this sensor? The low light capability is very appealing if visually it is comparable to DGO.

Surprised to hear the you loose some of the character when shooting with your Ironglass lenses on the c70. Does your RF to PL adapter have a speedbooster? If it does, I would have thought the lens would show up the exact same as a full frame sensor e.g. the edge fall off, bokeh etc

Mate, i have no idea how you do it, but every video of yours starts with a big smile on your face, you are such a legend!

What you do think about "*price subject to change" ....

4:20 C70 loosing DGO technology if you shoot in more than 60FPS it means a lot of dynamic range!

For me personally, it's a pass. The ergonomics aren't to my taste (I prefer compact and light, the smaller the better). And in the sample footage I've seen so far, there really hasn't been much of a jump in image quality compared to a C70, though I'd be open to being proven wrong by a side-by-side comparison. But the odds are that, in a year's time, Canon will bring out the same sensor, drop it in smaller body with fewer inputs and outputs, and halve the price. Then, sure, I might think about upgrading...

Pre-order placed. Just about everything I was personally looking for and cheaper than expected. Only two things I still want, and who knows they might be possible, is 3:2 open gate and 1.5x anamorphic desqueeze.

If it was a C70 upgrade, the upgrade on the price is laughable and you know it.

Best cam of 2024. Smokes the Komodo x and burano in every way possible. I can’t wait to see it in your hands

Significant crop on the commode. Me think.

Happy OG Komodo user since August, 2020. I came from the c200, loved the ergonomics but like many missed that middle ground codec. While the c300mkiii had my attention, I just didn't go for it, same with the c70 . The c400 however checks way more boxes than the Komodo X does for our projects and I think it's initial feedback has officially sold me. Very impressive camera and I can't wait to produce something with it!

The c300mkiii/c500mkii is the most Ergonomical camera in that price range. With the most features I would argue. I love the way these cameras feel bare or rigged out. The c70 is cool for what it is but the placement of Card slots/Timecode and audio is bonkers it was clearly an afterthought.

@8:05 spit take

C400 sensor seems to have a lot of similarities in specs to the r3. I’m wondering if they just gave it a more powerful chipset to increase DR, but worked from the r3 sensor.

It would be good to see a review of the controls. One punch for HFR? One punch for digital zoom? What modes preroll. The only actual controls we care about. HFR and sound?

I have an R5C and a C70 and I am pumped for this one!

Ihave a c200 and a r6 - the c400 is everything I dreamed of. But recently ive just felt the c200 to be a lump and the r6 to be small and nimble. I dunno if the c400 is 'it' especially as the loupe doesnt seem really sorted. Ive not seen a photo of anyone looking comfortable with it. Just people waving it around like a phone! I think it will need a shoulder rig just like my fs7 c200 and all the others

log2 is great but wish this has 16 bit capabilities

hi griffin I'm c70 user do you see a difference in dr by dgo and this triple Iso. i would like add beside my c70 this camera but for this price tag i have also a red komodo x or maybe with the all in one like the ronin 4d 8k ? ps: i recommend the griffin's luts!

Nice chat Griffin, enjoyed your take on it. A complete 'no brainer' of a camera. So much to offer. If I was to nitpick, I'd love to have seen a slightly tighter rolling shutter speed and maybe some higher fps (even in crop). I like what you said about getting a larger third party monitor which will work nicely and the second clean feed out etc, really awesome little cam for a great price.

Great video man! Missed the Griffin Conway KZfaq Channel :)

No DGO sensor no buy and I have to see I'm not that impressed by the sample images I've seen so far..

Too late for Canon, the amazing 2 000 $ Eclipse is near to be available ! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qbl7n9R92Musn5s.html

I just noticed we were at the same event! Haha.

Hope we can use the black magic usb c viewfinder. Biggest gripe with my C70 is trying to get a viewfinder on it.

It canon made the c70 mkll instead of this with a full frame sensor and a few correction to the little issues is has. That camera would sell like hot bread.

Do you secretly work for R&D at Canon? Good video and keep creating.

Please nudge Canon to add vehicles and wildlife. Other than that, this camera is pretty much perfect.

Great addition imo. Full frame 6k, RF mount, Triple ISO and smaller than C500mkII. USB- C connections look like a smart choice. EF to PL adapter. This with the RF 24-105 f2.8 IS will be an awesome combo!
