Canon EOS C70.
Super 35 cinema sensor in an RF-mount body with built-in NDs and Dual Pixel AF. The most accessible C-series cinema camera Canon has made.
The Verdict.
Gavler Meta-Score
“The C70 is Canon's smartest cinema play: take the proven C300 III sensor, drop it into an RF-mount body, and add built-in NDs. For Canon RF shooters, it's the obvious cinema upgrade path. Dual Pixel AF and Cinema RAW Light make it equally capable for run-and-gun documentary and controlled narrative work.”
