Canon launches EOS C70

Canon Europe has announced the launch of the EOS C70 – a compact, versatile camera that is the first to combine the powerful image quality of Canon’s Cinema EOS System range with the portability and flexibility of its EOS R line-up.

For the first time, filmmakers using a Canon Cinema EOS System camera can enjoy the possibilities of the powerful RF lens range.

The EOS C70’s design, according to a statement by Canon, makes it perfect for a broad range of uses including documentaries, productions of all sizes, news gathering and now even social media – thanks to its unique vertical shooting capability.

“Its size and features enable filmmakers to shoot handheld or on a drone or gimbal – giving them enhanced creative freedom. What’s more, it offers multiple recording formats to SD cards – including 4K up to 120 fps in 4:2:2 10-bit in XF-AVC (All-I or Long-GOP), and MP4 in HEVC (H.265) or H.264 – providing filmmakers with the ability to meet diverse production requirements,” said the statement.

Canon also launched the Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x – an EF Lens to RF Mount adapter giving filmmakers the freedom to use the entire EF lens line-up with the EOS C70, enhancing compatibility across two of Canon’s most popular lens lines.

According to the camera-producing company, filming with DSLR and mirrorless cameras is growing in popularity, noting that the EOS C70 bridges the gap between two Canon product portfolios – the compact DILC line-up and Cinema EOS System cameras.

Adopting Canon’s RF Mount – which has a short flange back – made the compact design of the EOS C70 possible. While the camera is the smallest and lightest in Canon’s Cinema EOS System line-up, it is “packed with features that support a versatile” range of professional video requirements.

It has 13 assignable buttons, a multi-functional hand grip for ease of operability, professional input/output terminals including HDMI and 2x mini XLR terminals for audio, as well as an independent ventilation system.
