Canon S35 Dual Gain Output Sensor. The next-gen CMOS sensor in the Canon EOS C70 Cinema Camera (RF) provides DCI 4K/120p capture to two UHS-I SD card slots and improves on many of its predecessor’s already great specs. It generates 16+ stops of dynamic range by combining images using pixels shot with a saturation-prioritizing amplifier for bright regions while using a lower-noise amplifier for darker areas. 2, 4, and 6 stop internal ND filters are built-in, and can expand to 8 & 10 stops via a menu setting.

DIGIC DV7 Image Processor. The speedy DIGIC DV7 processor works in tandem with the imaging sensor to guarantee high frame-rate recording. This processor also powers the autofocus system, 4:2:2 10-bit recording, HDR output, and lens stabilization.

Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus. This autofocus system has phase-detection autofocus with two photodiodes at each pixel, offering greatly improved speed and accuracy. DAF can detect whether your subject is in focus, to which degree it’s in focus, and in which direction. You also get Touch AF and head and face detection modes.

Canon Log 2 and 3 Gammas. Designed to take advantage of the camera’s 10-bit recording capability, the files produced using Log format enable a large degree of color correction/grading in post-production with minimal image degradation. Canon Log 2 gives you the largest dynamic range and image details, and is most flexible in post, but it requires more time in color correction. Canon touts that it offers dynamic range up to sixteen stops. Canon Log 3 is an alternative that gives you a shorter turnaround time with an only marginally reduced, 14-stop dynamic range.
