You can see on the EOS C70 that it is akin to Canon’s new R-Series with mirrorless full-frame cameras. But the shutter button is missing on the C70. It has been replaced by a red start / stop button, which clearly indicates that this is a pure camcorder. It can not take still images at all, but you can pick images from the video stream in 8.8 Mp resolution.
The camcorder has the same bayonet mount as the R cameras, 0g can use all RF lenses but autofocus and everything. The camera is relatively compact and lacks a viewfinder, but has a swivel touch screen.
It also has a Cinema 4K DCI image chip in Super 35 format with 17: 9 aspect ratio, and then we realize that we are at APS-C level, and not full format here.
There is no mechanical stabilizer, instead the camera uses an electronic stabilization on shooting, which gives a small 1.2x crop.
The C70 also has a 10-step ND filter in selectable steps, as well as C-Log2 / C-Log3, PQ, HLG-gamma that provides higher dynamic range – HDR, it has 13 programmable buttons, dual card slots, and two mini XLR connectors for microphones, and it uses Canon video batteries located on the outside of the camera.
