- Effective Pixels: 8.29 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)

- General
- Brand: Canon
- Model Number: 5734C002
- Product Name: VIXIA HF G70 4K
- Color: Black
- Imaging
- Image Sensor Type: CMOS (CCD and CMOS are the two main technologies used in image sensors. CCD, the older of the two types, turns analog light signals into digital pixels. This conversion happens without distortion, resulting in high-quality images. Newer CMOS sensors use transistors at each pixel to move electrical charges. CMOS sensors are typically less expensive, but also require more light to create distortion-free images.)
- Image Sensor Size: 1/2.3" (6.17 x 4.55mm)
- Image Resolution (Display): 3840 x 2160 (Refers to the number of pixels, both horizontally and vertically, used to either capture an image or display it. The higher the resolution the finer the image details.)
- Digital Zoom: 800x (A digital zoom is accomplished electronically, with no adjustment of the camera's optics, and no optical resolution gained in the process. The existing data is not enhanced or added to, merely displayed at a lower resolution, thereby giving an illusion of an enlarged image.)
- Optical Zoom: 20x (The optical zoom uses a combination of lenses that magnify the image prior to it being registered at high resolution by the imaging sensor.)
- Image Stabilization: Hybrid (This feature helps reduce image/video blur or distortion that may occur from unsteady motion.)
- Low Light/High Sensitivity: true (High sensitivity digital imaging devices are designed to work in low light conditions to produce a high dynamic range image.)
- Focus
- Auto/Manual Focus: Automatic, Manual
- Focus Modes: Automatic/manual
- Exposure Control
- Minimum Aperture: f/8 (The smallest opening of a lens, typically expressed in f-numbers. The larger the number, the smaller the aperture and the less light that can enter the lens. A smaller aperture creates a larger depth of field, which keeps both foreground and background in focus.)
- Maximum Aperture: f/1.8 (The limit to how wide a lens can be open, typically expressed in f-numbers. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture and the more light that can enter the lens. A larger aperture creates a shallower depth of field, helpful for keeping subjects in focus and blurring background details.)
- Maximum Focal Length: 73.4 millimeters (The maximum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The greater the focal length, the smaller the area of scene captured.)
- White Balance Modes: N/A (Settings that calibrates how the color white is rendered in an image/video, reducing the appearance of unnatural contrasts caused by various light sources.)
- Effective Pixels: 8.29 megapixels (The actual number of pixels which make up the viewable image.)
- Lens
- Minimum Focal Length: 3.67 millimeters (The minimum distance between the lens and the image sensor that allows the subject to be in focus. The shorter the focal length, the greater the area of scene captured.)
- Display
- Display Type: LCD
- Screen Size: 3.5 inches (Size of the screen, measured diagonally from corner to corner.)
- Touch Screen: false (Touch-screen devices make navigating more intuitive. Using a touch-screen display, you can do things such as tap to select, hold and drag to move items, swipe to scroll, and pinch to zoom.)
- Varying Angle Screen: false (The camera's screen can be flipped out and adjusted to rotate, tilt, and/or swivel.)
- Video
- Standardized Video Resolution: 4K (2160p) (An approximated measurement of the product’s video resolution. This may not be the exact resolution of the product, which may be slightly more or less when using a pixel-by-pixel measurement.)

The higher the resolution the finer the video detail that can be seen. The faster the frame rate the smoother the playback for higher motion activities like sports.)
- Maximum Video Frame Rate: Up to 60 fps (The maximum frequency at which consecutive images can be captured by a video recording device.)
- Slow Motion Recording: true

Buy it! Very nostalgic
As someone who’s not tech savvy, I LOVE this camera. It’s very easy to manage and everything is self explanatory. When you hold the camera it fits perfect in your hand it doesn’t feel awkward at all. If you’re looking for that nostalgic home video feel this is the perfect camera. & the battery life is great, and you can store 2 SD cards.

Review of the Cannon Vixia G70 Camcorder
The Cannon Vixia G70 is a good 4K camcorder for beginners. It has automatic 6 in 1 lenses for anyone that wants to record video, but has little knowledge on changing lenses. The touchscreen is clear and easy to use. The camera feels very light and comfortable and the zoom buttons are very conveniently accessible. Overall it is a very good camcorder for beginners.
