Hi everyone,
I've been thinking up and down if I should get a C70 in late 2022 or if it's wise to wait for the announced EOS line updates in 2023.
What do you think - is an update to the C70 likly to come? Haven't found any informations about that yet.
Thanks!
The c70 won’t be updated to a mk 2 for a good while, but they will come out with more RF Mount cinema cameras above and below it. The c200 MK 2 certainly will be RF or have an RF option and be above the c70 in the roster. More boxy. Really depends on what your budget will be… What price point are you looking at?
Also, they are giving the c70 its third major firmware update soon, which is a bit uncommon for canon to add so many new features to one product after it has been out a while unless they were certain they are keeping it in the line up a long time. It’s also rather profitable for them right now, and saves them a lot of trouble with the production back log to not have to change an assembly line over right now. Cinema cameras are updated on slower cycles anyway. They just last forever if you treat them nice.
I’m imagine there will be a full frame option in a c70 body style at some point in the near future. Probably $600 to a thousand dollars more for it. But hard to tell when that might be.
If you can use one now, get one now. If you have other options then maybe wait… See if you can borrow one and play around with it. The raw lt is rather nice.
