Welcome to a new age
The EOS C70 is a new generation RF Mount Cinema EOS System camera featuring Canon’s 4K Super 35mm DGO sensor. With 4K 120P Slow Motion, High Dynamic Range and Dual Pixel CMOS AF in a compact body, it takes the RF System into a brand-new era.

RF Mount
Featuring the RF mount system, the EOS C70 bridges DILC & Cinema Cameras.

Dual Gain Output
The EOS C70 uses Canon’s new 4K Super 35mm DGO sensor with HDR capabilities.

4K/120fps
High frame rate 4K shooting at 120fps with audio recording & DPAF.

Dual SD Card Slots
Dual UHS-II SD card slots enable simultaneous / relay recording of 4K XF-AVC / MP4 files (4:2:2 10-bit).

Dual Pixel CMOS AF
Improved Dual Pixel Auto Focus with intelligent tracking and a new touch user interface.

MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R 0.71x
Compatible with the new MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R 0.71x giving users access to the extensive range of Canon EF mount lenses.

The RF Mount. The future of imaging
The large diameter RF mount with its short back focus and 12-pin communication delivers a balance of optical and electronic innovation plus scintillating AF speed from Canon’s range of RF lenses.

Versatile. Flexible. Reliable. Your new workhorse
The EOS C70 uses design cues from other RF mount cameras from Canon, with additional controls, environmental protection and a convenient size to fit your production rig.

4K Super 35mm DGO sensor for truly impressive image quality
Equipped with a newly developed 4K Super 35mm sensor and DIGIC DV7 image processor, the EOS C70 delivers a high-resolution image with 16+ stops of Dynamic Range.

Multiple recording formats
Dual UHS-II SD card slots enable simultaneous or relay recording, in different formats. XF-AVC supports ALL-I and Long-GOP, while MP4 recording offers further flexibility.

Lens Versatility
RF lenses offer exceptional quality and speed, with performance optimised for the EOS C70 and EOS R-series cameras. Super-fast focusing and outstanding optical quality combine with unique features such as a Lens Control Ring to provide additional control over settings. EOS R System adapters offer additional creative control, enabling filmmakers to use their existing EF and EF-S lenses. The MOUNT ADAPTER EF-EOS R 0.71x is an EF to RF mount adapter for using the broad range of Full Frame Canon EF lenses, whilst maintaining the same Full Frame angle of view when used with Super 35mm format.

Pioneering autofocus technology
The EOS C70 features the renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF (DPAF). Filmmakers can now benefit from accurate and reliable autofocus with subject tracking and face detection.

Professional and practical support functions
Keep your workflow smooth when shooting with the EOS C70 thanks to useful features such as Direct Touch Control, Auto ISO, Vertical shooting, as well as electronic Image Stabilizer.

Professional I/O Interface
Stay in control with customisable buttons, pro terminals, plus sophisticated audio controls.

Mount Adapter EF-EOS R 0.71x
An EF to RF adapter designed to enable users to use the broad range of Canon EF lenses on the EOS C70 camera, whilst maintaining the same Full Frame angle of view. Ideal for film and documentary makers, it complements the EOS C70 perfectly for users of EF lenses.
