I’m Gerald Undone and the noise floor is my dance floor 🕺
Exquisite
This is just perfect! Best one ever!
Very nice!
YES! - If this comment is wrong, I don't want to live in a world that's right.
So good 😂
I said it once and ill say it again, why doesn't Gerald have 1 million+ subscribers!?! I'm not interested at all in buying this camera and he somehow still got me watching the whole video.
AGREED!
@@kingdom001_ oof, I'd have to agree with you. The constant b-roll of the editor's face that's supposed to showcase "dynamic range" is just the worst.
because only 50% are not subscriber! haha
@@kingdom001_ have to agree. Really enjoyed Peter at first, but the channel quickly became annoying and everything because a commercial, funny how he literally recommends everything that hits the market
At the end of the day, people want entertainment and real world usage in a fun way over straight up facts. Also, as long as view count and engagement is good, subscriptions doesn't really matter. This is where alottah big CZcamsrs sorta forget after a while.
I found this video both helpful and entertaining, even at 1.0x. Thanks Gerald! Your perspective is, as always, very helpful!
lol
Thank you for not making me regret my purchase :)
I’m starting from scratch. I still haven’t decided. C70, Komodo, A7siii or FX6. I rarely record good audio to camera because I have great audio equipment. Hmmmmmm.
oooh my mans jumping on the c70!
Hahahaha same! 😂
we expect a review, Jesse.
Hey Jesse, what recording format you’ll most likely gravitate to? It does t have prores so I assume h.264? Thanks!
Great review as usual. The Canon manual focus guide is second to none in my opinion. I'm glad they are incorporating it in their newer cameras. I love that you mentioned that the C70 could be what Canon owners have been looking for that is equivalent to what Sony is offering. It doesn't have to have all of the exact same features, but just enough to make it compatible so that Canon owners don't have to completely change systems if they are already heavily invested in the system. Thanks again.
What a fantastic overview. Thanks Gerald for these thorough reviews. 👌🏽
Great video Gerald, I still think it's silly that Canon added 8K video on the R5 without any active cooling but limited the C70 to 4K. Honestly, the C70 should have been able to record minimum in 6K and also in RAW to compete with cameras like the RED Komodo. This is a great camera but also a strange one in the Canon Eco system because we know it's capable of doing more.
Oh yes! C70 8K with active cooling!🔥
Ill take a great 4k image over 6k or 8k any day. Especially a DG 4k. cant wait to see what you do with the camera man.
It’s already going to kill some sales for the C300mk3 they can’t completely destroy it haha.
On another note I’m perfectly happy with the specs as they are perfect for the corporate work we do
Canon being Canon. Bring in the cripple army, boys!
Armando, you didn’t pull any punches here!
Hi Gerald, Your reviews are always fantastic and I thank you a lot for making them (from France). There is only one thing that you never talk about, is the ergnomics for TV work like with the camera on the shoulder for an entire day. With all the ports on the side of the operator (like in all DSLR) and the screen on the back of the camera, you have to add an extra EVF + rigging and powering solutions which kill the "run and gun" ergonomics... Of course you can't talk about all ways of using a camera but the "cat over the shoulder" (we french like a lot) seems very important to me when you think about buying a buying a camera. We are not all youtubers. But still, thanks a lot for your contents.
"I'm Gerald Undone and all Cameras love me."
Been waiting for this one for a while Gerald! Mine comes tomorrow 🤩
Are you satisfied with it after 5 months ?
Nice I've been excited to see a review on this, thanks for the review Gerald!
YES! Have been waiting on this review!
I feel like i am back in college and I actually have a college professor who can also teach. Of all of them you are the first, and your ability to educate us has long been admired back on the home world. What I know about video could fill a shot glass...and it was filled today by this video. All kidding aside your verbal delivery is nothing short of a Shakespearean photography Romeo and Juliet.
Montague family vs. Capulet family. Canon vs Sony. When You speak in blank verse it is magic....sigh....
As always, keep up the good work and keep'em flying...
I've been waiting for this video for months. Thanks for the thorough and detailed breakdown of this incredible little camera.
awesome! Been waiting for this one for a bit. You answered all my questions 👍
At this point, you're the only gear review channel I can tolerate. A very informative, practical and thorough review.
I completely agree, I’m totally holding off commenting on other reviewer‘s channels about how they talk way too much, or try way too hard to be entertaining.
17:17 THANK YOU so much for saying this man. This "which is better" question is annoying sometimes. There are so many variables to determine the answer.
Been waiting (im)patiently for this review
You are worth, at the very least, 10 times the subscribers for the incredible work you’re doing Gerald. Far and away, the best and most informative camera reviewer on YT.
Yep, definitely fits my use case, your review nailed it!
Damn I wish every reviewer was as flat out honest as you are in your reviews. Superb review. Thanks.
Been checking every day for this review! Thanks Gerald Undone!
Great review! Thank you and i'm happy mine will be in this week
Absolutely love your reviews, Gerald. Felt like early Christmas seeing this video in my recommendations this morning. Thanks you.
Love your in depth reviews and comparisons!
I'm guilty of having watched this channel quite often while not having been subscribed. I've now done the right thing. Thank you for all you do Gerald, and may you continue doing it. Bless you bro.
Nice review Gerald! My C70 just shipped and this makes me feel good about the purchase. I do miss the original C series color science and don't love the magenta in the newer line, part of the reason I have been using the Panasonic EVA1 over the last few years. Thank you Gerald, I appreciate what you do!
I'm actually quite impressed with this review. Excellent summation. Well done
I was LOL when I hit the slow-mo "Veeeeeery Smart" part. This should be a meme!
Genuinely the most honest reviewer out here atm. Bravo great work. And very entertaining
It's interesting that you look at the Sony mirrorless cameras as a competitor to the C70. I would have never thought to put them in the same category with built in ND and dual phantom powered mini XLR's. As usual, very robust rundown.
Besides that, it shares alot of the same features. Like most features lol
Always the best camera reviews.
I can't wait for your tests on the GH6 and Sony A7 4.
Always banger reviews and quality content Gerald! You're a big inspiration for creators man! One of the reasons I started my channel!
🤓🙏💜
@@geraldundone You're a legend man!
Agreed! Gerald has been a HUGE inspiration in my business. Wouldn't be half as knowledgeable without him.
It would be great if @geraldundone could do a short update on this video with the latest firmware, since with the addition of RAW, the improved autofocus etc., this camera is a totally different beast.
I just ordered my C70 today. Arrives next week. I am so excited!
This was a really helpful video. I recently had the opportunity to play around and shoot with the C70 and I fell in love with it. Mind you, I was coming from c100 m2. There were a few things that caught me off guard, like the sound during s&f/wav recording and the screw mount on the bottom not fitting to my gimbal but other than that, WOW blown away. This was a great review and I look forward to watching it again once I actually get the camera to myself.
Thank you for comparing C70 along side the A7Siii and FX6.. this question has been racking my brain for a month now. Really appreciate all the time / consideration you put into different perspectives (as each camera and videographer have different needs). PS - I’ve had a deposit on an FX6 for a few weeks.. I’m pretty sure I’m pulling it for the A7Siii, my primary reason being IBIS. I rely on it for almost every shoot.
YESSS FINALLY!! Was waiting for this review!
Thanks for another great review. I love that you walk the line perfectly between the geeky data we need and entertainment we want. I've seen enough reviews with no science, just fluff, "I've not tested it, but I'd say it has as many stops as a RED!", but I've also fallen asleep watching numbers charts in videos that were 4 times longer than they needed be. Keep it up!
Thank you! Really needed this and perfect timing. Was really thinking about getting an FX6 as an A-cam and Sony A7S III as a B-cam; but, I really like the C70 and I'm somewhat invested in Canon glass. The overheating R6 & R5 situation really shook things up for me.
Great review, I'm finding myself being pulled over to the FX6 as much as I am a Canon shooter though...more to think about for sure.
Thanks, Carlos!
Same for me... Im so confused.
@@bradleyc6564 the RF mount supposedly has the same flexibility as it has a smaller flange distance then the EF mount. At least that is my understanding.There may be 3rd party companies working on a adapter for the RF mount. It just seems the fx6 gives a bit more for the price with low light, raw capability, and full frame. Its a hard one for me. I will decide by end of this year.
@@bradleyc6564 I think the point is that both Sony and Canon cameras are so good, that most people will choose the one they’ve already got lenses for. While you can put a Canon EF lens on a Sony camera, the autofocus performance is going to be worse than using a native E mount lens. (Which doesn’t mean you have to use a Sony lens: Sigma makes E mount lenses that have great autofocus.) I also don’t think it’s possible to put a Canon RF lens on a Sony E mount camera or vice versa.
@@d.edwardsfreelanceeditorvi4212 One other thing you might want to consider is where and how you’ll be using the camera. I think the FX6 has an edge of the C70 for outdoor shoots where you’re frequently moving - documentation, wildlife, etc. In those situations, being able to use an EVF (by adding a loupe to the LCD) on the FX6 will be very appealing. I’ve got an a7S and an FX9 and even though the a7S has a wonderful, big touch screen, I almost never use it outdoors; the EVF is better because it’s easier to see in the sunlight and having my eye up against it helps to stabilize the camera.
Awesome vid Gerald, you answered all of my questions and then more. My c70 showed today.. time to see how it compares to my komodo st and canon r5. Something has to go lol
Let me know how you get on as I'm looking at komodo and fx 6 and this Camera.
How do you like it sir?
how does it work for you??
@@patrickbaitmen9290 update me pleassse
"I'm Gerald Undone, and I'm veeerrryy smaarrtt"
Ive been waiting on this review! Thank you!
Outstanding as always. I note the deer is desperately searching to a way out of the Canadian winter.
Good luck with that!
The review I've been waiting for! Your closing thoughts are exactly what I was thinking. A7siii is so similar in terms of imagine quality yet cheaper, smaller, Full frame, better autofocus and viewfinder. So difficult to decide what to go for. Got Canon lenses and shoot C200, Pocket 4Ks however want something easy to travel with and shoot without rigging.
As always, great content. As an avid viewer of most your videos I’ll tell you that some areas in this particular video were too fast for me and made we rewind ☺️.
By the way, if you could explain in one of your next videos the reasons for some cameras cropping at some resolutions and settings - it will be highly appreciated.
Great stuff, as always!
That slo mo of the forest footage is AMAZING quality.
Lots of great details here Gerald. Nice work.
This is the 5th time I’ve watched this video since it dropped and I’ve learned so much and I keep learning more each time I watch.
Now I'm even more excited for my C70 to arrive!!
Imagine not being subscribed to Gerald Undone.
Thank you for the very detailed and thorough review, very informative and enjoyable to watch.
Do you have any advice on how I can get your intro song out of my head? It plays back more than it should 😂
Fantastic! Keep up the great work 👍🏼✨
Great info as usual... thank you Mr. G. take care!
Very good review!! I want this cam😍 Will you do a part two with some footage on people outside the studio showing different lighting situations and frame rates😉?
Excellent coverage, as always Gerald. Thanks for all your time and hard work. Enjoying the camera so far, but a couple BIG gripes for me: 1) As you mentioned, no "one-button" af tracking activation. Not sure why this is an option for the R5/R6 but not this body. For example, I have "move to center" set to my M-Fn button near the shutter button on my R6's, and it's an absolute game changer for how you can shoot using their amazing DPAF. What it does is automatically engages tracking to whatever is in the center of the frame when pressed. Then you can just press it again to disengage to reacquire on a new subject. Brilliant, but sadly missing from the C70. 2) With 60p native (non S&F) being the best image quality vs the S&F 60/24, I wish Canon would allow us some quick switch options for one-button changes from 24 to 60 so we don't have to dive into menus or press multiple buttons to do this. Additionally, I wish they would allow for slow-mo playback in camera for the native 60p shooting, which IS an option in the R5/R6. This feature is somewhat buried in the mirrorless bodies, but it is there (you choose the second play option when playing back your clips then use the set wheel to slow down the playback to 24p). Why do the mirrorless alternatives have better options? Fortunately, these both seem to be correctable via firmware, but I don't know how common these gripes are and how to even relay the suggestions to them. If you have any ideas on that front I'd absolutely appreciate your insight. Otherwise a lovely camera, but game-changing details like these are a bummer, as I shouldn't be paying twice as much for a video camera and wishing it had video features from the cheaper options.
The amount of knowledge in 20min is well worth the watch. Thank you
Ooooooh boy already got excited when I saw the video folder size on the gram! Never clicked so fast 😁
Oh man I've been waiting for this video! 🙌
Where ya been on this C70? Finally and THANK YOU. I ordered the C70 and this was the video I was waiting for to justify my purchase. I feel very good about it. At some point would you think about doing a "recommended settings" video for the people that don't share your extensive knowledge? Danka!!
Good review. Thanks man.
Great job on this Gerald!
The review I waiting for, thanks.
“I’m Gerald Undone, and this is a test of the emergency broadcast system”
People should be paying you for these incredible detailed reviews.. you da best
Really helpful. Thank you!
new subscriber here. I appreciate all the work that it takes to make this kind of video. Thanks!
Great review as always Gerald, it answers all my questions, so no questions for me. Thank's for sharing and keep up the good work, i'm always watching :-)
Great video! Cheers Gerald!
Thanks so much for your excellent reviews Gerald..! Second time I've come back to re-watch this one.. any chance you will do one on the R5C..? Many thanks again and best wishes.. g
This was an awesome video, I now know what I'm saving up for. Thanks a ton!
Very useful, thanks for putting this together.
Would be really interesting to see an overview of the possibilities using the custom looks from .cube files. Seems like you could bake in an Arri Alexa 709 look or match other camera outputs (slog3, etc) for easy camera matching? You could also implement a Cine EI type mode using different custom looks the bake clog2 pushed or pulled, right?
This is great! Thank you again for sharing your thoughts!
Awesome, Gerald! This is the one video I have been waiting from the moment we learned there's gonna be a C70. So, thank you! Before I start watching it again from the beginning, I just wanted to say that I think you just talked me out from buying an FX6. However, what about S-Cinetone...is there anything Canon can fight back with? It's pretty important for me to get beautiful cinematic image out straight from the camera. Cheers!
Been waiting for this one!!!!
High quality video as always. Thank you sir!
Great review mate!
Love this video! Big Canon fan and looking into different ones so this helps!
Excellent review man!
Great review Gerald!
Awesome review as always :) Really interesting form factor on this one.
Fantastic video! I am hoping to get mine soon.
That slow mo 'very smart' just got you a new subscriber!
I’ve been waiting for this review, I could cry 😭 (tears of joy of course)
Excellent review as always! I'm probably going to get this camera for a solo documentary shoot for next summer abroad. Electronic leveling is important to me, does it have one? If not, what other options do I have to get my horizons perfect on a run-and-gun handheld shoot?
was waiting for your review.
Great review thx 🙏
Amazing, as usual! Your videos have really become the benchmark for camera reviews. Now, how do you feel about the RED Komodo? I feel like this is the last camera in this price/spec range to discusses, and it would be great to hear your thoughts on it and how it compares to the C70, FX6, and the A7SIII.
Very helpful review (as always)👍🏻👍🏻 would love to see your review on the Red Komodo🙏🙏🙏
Great video! Can you record internally 4K while still outputting 4K OR can you internally record 4K while outputting HD? More broadly, what are the recording/output options on the C70?
I’ve never been this early! So commenting before you watch the video is what people do? Thanks for this!
Thanks Gerald. I was waiting for this video! I’ve been studying the whole week about these 2 cameras (C70 and FX6) and now , as if it wasn’t enough you mentioned another one! Lol!!!
You’re really good at going over this stuff!
Hey, are you able to get Browser Remote on the C70 or does it require an additional wifi transmitter of some sort?? Somehow my C70 has network settings that are grayed out
Just ordered mine. Thanks for the review, pushed me over the edge lol
Great review! I have mine pre-ordered, can't wait for it to arrive. Question - I've been hearing a couple of rumors about build quality. Specifically that the C70 feels a bit "plasticky" and "cheap." Did you find that to be the case, or did the body seem pretty robust?
Thanks for the detailed on point review. I could feel more certain now that the C70 is a the choice for me. At least before Canon releases yet another RF mount camera that is completely or more dedicated to shooting video 😄
one of the best and unbiased reviews. keep it up my friend to ✌🤝
Great Video, thanks Gerald! How exactly did you mount the C70 to the Ronin RS2? Did you use a special mounting plate?
