Canon EOS C70
The EOS C70 (pro tier, 71) was Canon's first RF-mount Cinema EOS body, pairing a Super 35 DGO sensor with a built-in 10-stop ND filter, dual SD slots, and 4K120 capture in a compact 1190g cinema form. It's well suited to documentary and corporate shooters who want Cinema EOS color without a full rig. Skip it for stills (it's a dedicated cinema camera) or if you need full-frame depth-of-field, since the sensor is Super 35.
