I’d like to see the back of this camera! I hope it has a full 16 x 9 screen like the BMPCC 6k.

That's my question too. I'm still working with my c100MKii and could do with a resolution upgrade, but my most beloved feature of the Eos cinema line is strangely the viewfinder and form factor. Shooting handheld, with your eye up to the adjustable angle, large, clear viewfinder just works so well for handheld work and has been the main delight of the c100mkii for me. I'm really hoping that this c70 allows for the use of the bolt on viewfinder unit similar to the c300mkiii. Very exciting!It looks like they tried to copy Blackmagic's first production camera. Ugly. Does it have a viewfinder?
The "No IBIS" sentiment is pure ego. These same people cried "I don't need no autofocus, I'm a pro. Only amateurs use AF."Yeah mate, that is exactly why Canon implemented superior electronic IS in it's cinema line.
Lens IS cannot correct for roll, and the combination of lens and sensor IS gives 5 dimensional IS and much greater stability than either one alone. Canon claims 8 stops on the R5 when both are used with the new RF lenses.Isnt lens based stabilization far superior to IBIS... I dont see an issue because the RF lenses have it. What am I missing?
You are absolutely right, I have the R5 and the only thing I don’t like about the camera is the codec. Overheating isn’t even an issue after the 1.1.0 update. That damn codec has to be converted in ProRes before I can even review it on my computer. My MacPro can play back the RAW footage but not that H.265 which blows my mind.I’m telling you, this camera is going to be a massive home-run if, and only if, it doesn’t use H.265 as it’s main codec. I know the R5 does, but the C300 Mark III uses the wonderful, broadcast friendly, easily editable codec. Here’s hoping!!!
I guess inside the sidehandle, like on the xc series.All I wanna know is where that BP series battery goes on this thing.
Thats weird, we use decently speced PCs and the playback and editing of the video files from the R5 is realy fluent (in all modes, including 4k50, 4khq...)You are absolutely right, I have the R5 and the only thing I don’t like about the camera is the codec.

Except that the camera appears to have a grip, meaning that it can be used for run and gun shooting styles.Anyone that thinks a cinema camera should have IBIS has never shot anything worth watching.
A closer look at the lines of the body, excuse my terrible scrawl, seems to show that this handle is perhaps built into the body more like a dslr.Does the right handle look separatated as in it can rotate? Is there a top lcd or does it look like a built in hot shoe?
what lens is attached to the image?

RAW is a bit of a hussle though, its playing back in Resolve, but not realy good in premiere and both programs keep on crashing fairly often...

Hm I am afraid I cant realy help here. Tried another player like VLC?it is weird I almost feel like I’m missing a codec on my machine. I have downloaded and installed all the canon software for the R5. I update FCPX regularly. They play in FCPx but super choppy, but will not play natively on my machine at all via QuickTime. I haven’t had any crashes during editing everything was running really slow so now I just convert everything to prores.
any tips or tricks would be helpful. I haven’t spent a ton of time trying to make the clips play.
Excellent drawing :-DA closer look at the lines of the body, excuse my terrible scrawl, seems to show that this handle is perhaps built into the body more like a dslr.
I also noticed what seems to be a dslr style on/off switch next to the record button and a separate dial on the top left. Bit of a shame as the revolving dial next to the record button on the cinema handgrip was excellent, clearly I will not be buying one of these now, the whole thing is ruined!!
Im guessing the square nodules on the input 1 and 2 flaps are to stop them opening too far and covering the vent when in use?
Definitely getting one of these, although I clearly have too much time on my hands, studying fuzzy jpegs and not shooting, so maybe notView attachment 192915!
The simultaneous use of both lens and sensor IS can give video stabilization near the level of a professional gimble. That is massively powerful, even on large projects, because pro-gimbals are large and unwieldy and can't get into tight places.That refers to stills application though, not video.
Yeah, I don't get it too. IBIS, AF etc. – these are all tools. It's better if it's up to you to choose whether to use them or not, than manufacturer to leave them out.The "No IBIS" sentiment is pure ego. These same people cried "I don't need no autofocus, I'm a pro. Only amateurs use AF."
And of course, AF is now considered a core and necessary feature of every camera, including video and cinema.
Apparently the ego can get so big that it can't figure out how to turn off IBIS, so it can pretend to be better than everything and everyone.
If the camera was actually overheating, bad things would happen... freezes, glitches and ultimately bricked devices. The firmware bypass is merely a thermal management profile. Of course overheating is possible in any cameras (including cinema cameras) under the right conditions. The Canon C200 specifically mentioned avoiding placing the camera near bright lighting equipment on set, as it could cause heat issues in the camera, damaging the sensor and other components.Sony cameras do overheat, you just dont know it because of firmware bypass.
