Canon EOS C70 vs Canon EOS R5 C
Canon EOS C70 vs Canon EOS R5 C
When comparing Canon EOS R5 C and Canon EOS C70, which one is better?
1. Sensor Type Comparison
Both EOS C70 and EOS R5 C use the same sensor type — CMOS — meaning that no camera in this comparison has an advantage over the other in this regard.
Winner: Tied
Regarding sensor type: Digital cameras feature two different sensor types; CMOS and CCD.
2. Internal Video Bit Depth
Both Canon EOS C70 and Canon EOS R5 C has an internal video bit depth of 12 bit.
Winner: Tied
Regarding internal video bit depth: The internal video bit depth is important since it means that a camera can capture more colors or less colors compared to other cameras. 8-bit internal video is very limited, while 10-bit or 12-bit internal video recording is plenty for professionall applications.
3. Lens Mount
Both the Canon EOS C70 and Canon EOS R5 C use the same lens mount; the Canon RF. This means that you can use the same lenses on both cameras, as long as they cover the full sensor. Full format lenses will work on all cameras with the same mount.
Winner: Tied
4. Rolling Shutter Comparison
Both cameras have a CMOS sensor with a rolling shutter. Canon EOS R5 C is the best with the lowest sensor readout speed at 15.5 ms, while Canon EOS C70 has a readout speed of 15.6 ms — this result is 0.65% slower than EOS R5 C.
Winner: Canon EOS R5 C
Regarding sensor readout speed: Rolling shutter means that the sensor image is not read as a whole image ("global shutter") but instead line by line, leading to motion artifacts when a camera is moving fast, like in hand-held footage, or is filming a fast moving object, like a fan or car wheels.
5. Internal Raw Video Support
Both Canon EOS R5 C and Canon EOS C70 features internal raw video recording.
Winner: Tied — both have this feature
Regarding internal raw video: The ability to record raw video internally is becoming more and more common in cinema cameras, and this may or may not be an advantage depending on how you shoot. While raw offers the most flexibility, it also requires more powerful editing computers, faster memory cards and more storage.
