Ignore what the other 2 reviews said. They haven't used it long enough to actually have an opinion on this camera. Anyone on YouTube will tell you it's an incredible camera or anyone who's used it for real shoots and in various scenarios.
I've shot with just about everything from rental houses (Arri, Red, Canon C300's, you name it). This was an easy purchase simply because the price and features were right for what I was looking for. $5500 for a Super 35 cinema camera with incredible features in a small size. Waveform, zebras, false color, focus guide, pretty good AF, RAW, 4K in multiple file types, plethora of I/O, you get the picture. I've shot around 70 corporate, sports, and interviews with this camera and I'm still in love with it after 18 months.
The color out of this camera is awesome. In fact I shot with a Komodo the other day side by side and I preferred this color profile when I took them both into Resolve. Shot both with RF L glass and this just looked better to me. I mean it's the same freakin sensor from the C300 MkIII so this camera is no slouch. It's so good I almost bought a second one instead of a Komodo. I actually went with an R5C as my second cam since I thought so highly of the C70 and how the C70 made the Komodo feel like it wasn't worth 6 grand since you're just paying for the Red name value.
Everytime I rent bigger rigs I love going back to my C70 simply due to how much it packs in such a small body. I don't have to cage it since you don't need a v-mount or rails. It has built-in ND's so no matte box, and the BP-A30 and A60 batteries it takes last up to 1.5 hours or 3 hours so no need for external power especially if you have one of each battery. Mini-XLR is a bummer but it's a compromise I'll take for not having to lug around a C300 body. Most people record to external recorders anyway.
One of the reviews knocked it for not having an EVF but who the heck shoots video on a camera this size with an EVF. Sure you shoot with an EVF on bigger rigs, but smaller cameras like this? That's what a monitor is for just due to ergonomics alone. And it doesn't have optical image stabilization but it does have digital IS which works really well with the IS built into all the RF L glass. But that does make you have to get the RF L glass which is a huge cost.
It just baffles me that for $5500 you can say this is a bad value when it gives 4K RAW, 4K 10-bit 4:2:2 in XF-AVC or MP4. It has built-in ND's. Incredible battery life. 3 audio sources including 2 mini-XLR and 1 3.5 jack with a headphone jack for monitoring. And the image quality is fantastic. If you say this image quality isn't good, then you're saying the sensor in the C300 MkIII is trash too which is just false. Considering the C300 is the staple for documentary filmmaking (ie Free Solo since that's all that Jimmy Chin shoots on) this camera packs a freakin punch in such a small body for this price range.

INCREDIBLE QUALITY
This camera is amazing and is capable of most videographer needs. For the price and capabilities, this is a steal. & now that we can shoot RAW on this camera has made it even better. I also find Canon raw easier to grade than my previous black magic 6k Pro files. Also, the file sizes are so much smaller. The most expensive part of owning this camera is the glass and sd cards lol. V60’s work okay unless you’re sorting slow mo but V90’s can do anything.
