Sony a7S III, but gonna add Sony a1 or another Sony to the mix. 2+ years and still no replacement to a7S III/FX3 especially 8.7ms sensor readout in 4K which only topped by the likes of Sony Venice 2 at 3.7ms, crucial for ultra macro and super telephoto filmmaking. There is no perfect camera for everyone, but Sony a1 is the most complete, thanks to Nikon Z9 for bottling it with no mechanical shutter for photography.
I wanted to express my sincere gratitude for your insightful camera review. Your detailed analysis and hands-on experience were incredibly helpful in guiding my decision. Keep up the fantastic work!

Good video - I came from a C100 M2 so obviously a big improvement on many levels. Can't live without built in ND's! Because I came from super 35 sensor I wasn't expecting it to be a low-light champ but still respectable. I was already prepared for the crop factor. Decent autofocus with the firmware update. I personally don't like the build quality and the screen deserves the criticism it gets because it's critical to the camera. Most cine cams don't come with a EVF now, but I REALLY wish Canon at least had a option of a EVF - very hard to use outside. I'm currently using a DIY EVF that I made around a Portakeys monitor. The camera has met my expectation and for my documentary work it's great overall- good battery life too.
Great review!! Question : would you go with the c70 when you shoot an independent movie? (also audio, wireless in camera?) Thanks for the answer!! Nicolaas
Thank you for your review. The Tilta top plate is very interesting being so minimal. My only concern is its single point of mount. Is there any ‘’play’’ or is it solid?

I'd love to get RAW over HDMI with this camera, but I love every other aspect, esp with the recent firmware improving its AF. I've had some other issues related to how it plays with my Ninja V but those are probably user error...

Keep in mind you don't really need to be good at colour grading to take advantage of clog2. Just use colour management in Resolve and Resolve will normalize the footage from the log footage and you can just adjust exposure from there.

It gives a "film" look so that depends if you will like it in wildlife filmmaking, you might prefer something more sharp and better AF such as R5 or A7S3/FX3
The C70 can be used on big projects which is why its Netflix approved with the R5C

Hey! So I posted a review about r6m2 the other day as well and honestly I have missed feelings about it. It works good as a bcam, but I'd rather use R5. And shoot them both clog3

Any Canon camera with video can be a B cam to C70. I use the R5C and R3 as b cams but their footage is all similar enough to match in post.
One note: You say “the ef to RF adapter gives you an extra stop of light”. You meant to say: “the ef to RF speed booster gives you an extra stop of light” The adapter and the speed booster function differently. Other than that, nice work!

I've seen very eye opening videos on WDR compared to the RAW and Clog formats. Wide DR is a really competent and worthy file. Coming from very well respected colorists. I've been using Clog3 a little bit because I shoot with C70's and R5c. They play together well.
@Roman.the.explorer
Жыл бұрын
Hm, very interesting! I need to test that. I have been using log 2 first because of the DR but its much harder to grade. Log3 on the other side (coming from the R5 experience as a B cam) is much easier to work with and I usually get a more pleasing image.

Yours is not the fixed hinge version then if it does what you showed it do.. that floppy motion. I have the 2nd gen one where it came fixed and it's rock solid. It's not as tight as the mirrorless bodies but I wouldn't say it's fragile and it doesn't move back n forth like yours.
