Will the Canon C70 Be Netflix Approved?

The Canon C70 is Canon’s latest addition to its Cinema EOS line of professional digital video cameras. It is a 4K capable, large-format digital video camera that was released in 2020.

The C70 is an all-in-one package with a built-in lens, viewfinder, and audio system. It also features an interchangeable EF Lens mount so users can attach any EF or EF-S lens to it.

The C70 has already gained wide acceptance among filmmakers, video professionals and enthusiasts alike for its impressive image quality and features. However, one of the biggest questions surrounding the C70 is whether or not it will be Netflix approved. Netflix has a strict set of technical requirements for cameras it will accept for streaming content.

The good news is that the Canon C70 meets most of Netflix’s technical requirements. It has a 4K resolution, 12-bit color depth, 10-bit color sampling, and ISO range up to 25600. Additionally, the camera has anamorphic support and can record in either ProRes or H.264 codecs.

However, there are two potential issues with the Canon C70 that could prevent it from being approved by Netflix. The first issue is that the camera does not support HDR10+ recording and Netflix requires this format for streaming content. The second issue is that the camera does not have a built-in ND filter which some filmmakers may need for certain shooting conditions.

Conclusion: Despite these two potential issues, the Canon C70 still meets most of Netflix’s technical requirements for streaming content. Therefore, it is likely that the camera will be approved by Netflix in the near future.
