Love the real life scenarios. I have a C400 coming and I'll probably sell 2 C70's for the C80 just for the triple ISO and sticky AF. I love the Canon image.
Awesome video, Paule! Shooting primarily real estate, dynamic range is very important to me as most interiors will have dark areas along with nuclear light blowing through the windows in the same shot. The best I've used at capturing this (there are a lot of real estate videos on my channel BTW) is the RED KX and OG, and the Blackmagic 6K full frame. I have used and loved the C70 also, but the R3D and BRAW codecs I think are the big difference in being able to tune the highlight rolloff to a much softer presentation. For my application the C80/C400 look to behave a LOT like the C70, with the same inflexible RAW codec as far as highlight rolloff is concerned. Is this your experience with these cameras as well? Thanks for all your content about these cameras, bud! 🍻
Thank you so much. I agree the r3d and the highlight roll-off is unmatched. The canon cameras are always great but also to me the Komodo is a touch better. :)
Great review. I bought a used C70 in Feb and went into it with both eyes open about it’s weaknesses as a super 35 camera. Coming from a C100 M2 obviously a big improvement in detail, autofocus and dynamic range. Overall very happy with the camera but I was disappointed to find out the reviews of the image being “soft” were true. I’m not now rushing out to upgrade as this camera serves my needs very well, but the C80 looks like it will fill a nice niche for better low light and detail at an acceptable price for us indie, run-and-gun shooters.
Thank you. The c70 is a little soft but nowadays with so many cameras that have a digitally over sharpened look that isn’t a bad thing. Both cameras are great but most of the time the successor of a camera improves on things that the previous camera didn’t do :)
@@pauleporterdp Agreed - my coworker shoots video with a Panasonic S52 (great camera) but it's almost TOO sharp. My biggest gripe about the C70 and C80 is lack of optional EVF - I find the camera useless outside without one. I've found a workaround solution.
Thank you for the review. Besides the full frame sensor, I'm equally as interested in shooting and grading 12 bit Cinema Raw Light. To me that's a very important feature when grading. It's weird because the Canon R5 mk ii is advertised as recording 12 bit raw at 8K up to 59.94 fps.
Thanks, the R5 mark II is great. To me I feel like that the sensors in the cinema cameras are a little smoother and not as digital as in the mirrorless cameras.
great video! Coming from R5C I was tempted by C70 at times but I really want full frame and didn't like the softness of the sensor for what I shoot. The C80 fixes both of these for me and the new AF and triple-base ISO mean it's an instant buy for me.
No worries. I think personally 6k is a good spot for filmmakers since it’s good to record in a higher resolution when you deliver in 4K. 8k is mostly good for photographers that need the high Megapixels but comes with massive file sizes. So personally I think canon made the right decision here to go with a 6k sensor.
