Canon C70

Canon’s first compact hybrid DSLR and Digital Cinema Camera, the Canon C70 packs a full feature set into a very compact handheld form factor. Featuring the same DGO (dual gain output) S35mm imager as the Canon C300 Mark III, the C70 has incredibly clean shadows while maintaining a high dynamic range capture regardless of your chosen ISO. Able to reach speeds of up to 120fps in UHD, the C70 records effortlessly to small SDXC cards. Tucked behind the C70’s native RF mount is up to 10 steps of internal motorized ND for exposure control, and hidden behind the fully articulating touch screen display are on board audio controls. The Canon C70 has excellent Dual Pixel Autofocus with touch to track and face detection. The Canon C70 is not only small in size but also in power consumption and can record for approximately 3 hours on one small BP-A30 battery.
