Bring out the filmmaker in you. Start your filmmaking journey in glorious 4K. The compact and lightweight VIXIA HF G70 offers high quality 4K UHD video, a Canon 20x optical zoom lens, advanced autofocus, Slow Motion recording in 5x Full HD, Fast Motion recording in 4K/Full HD up to 1200x and HD livestreaming with UVC1 via a USB-C connection to a PC or Mac.
Canon 4K sensor
A 4K sensor and DIGIC DV6 image processor deliver crisp, sharp UHD images and an 8-blade iris achieves cinema-style out-of-focus highlights. Frame your shot with the ultra-bright 3.5-inch LCD or use the built in electronic viewfinder (EVF).
On-Screen Display (OSD) “Time Stamp” Recording
OSD recording embeds date, time, timecode, and other data into your original camera files effectively “time stamping” the information into each frame of video, a requirement for legal and law enforcement videographers.
UVC Livestreaming
Stream HD video directly from the camera via UVC1 to a PC or Mac computer.
Take creative control
Add impact to your films with dynamic wide and close up shots captured with powerful 20x optical zoom & advanced image stabilization. Customize the camera with five assignable buttons & use the built-in ND filters to adjust exposure for wider apertures or slower shutter speeds.
Fast, precise focusing with face detection
The VIXIA HF G70 features an advanced Hybrid AF system with focusing speed adjustable for either Fast or Smooth AF. Using the ultra-bright 3.5-inch LCD display, set the focus by simply touching the AF point you need.
For even greater accuracy and convenience, especially with busy environments where you need to keep a subject in frame, Face Detection AF and Face Tracking is also available while Manual Focus is set via the focus/zoom ring.
MP4 recording
The VIXIA HF G70 supports MP4 recording, specifically, 4K UHD at 150Mbps 30P/24P, plus Full HD 35Mbps or 17Mbps at 60P/30P/24P.
Professional output, custom picture menu and audio scene select
A host of output and recording options include Infrared mode, Slow Motion recording in 5x Full HD, Fast Motion recording in 4K/Full HD up to 1200x and an array of Scene Modes.
A custom picture menu enables color matching with other Canon cameras while audio scene mode adds sound recording tuned to your environment. Simultaneous backup and relay recording via dual SD card slots is also included.
1 USB-C cable required to connect to PC or Mac (Optional USB Cables IFC-400U, or IFC-150AB III not included). Audio output through USB is not supported.

Q: QuestionHow long does the battery last? Can you record for 1 hour or more on this camera?(3 answers)
A: AnswerI have used ten camera to record my son’s football games, I use the viewfinder as opposed to the screen due to sun making it impossible to see the screen, and this helps the battery life quite a bit, normally the battery will show 170 mins of battery life at 4k.Answered by MikeO
Q: QuestionDoes this camcorder have night vision???(3 answers)
A: AnswerYes Sr.Answered by JGS8as
- A: Answer"X" in this context means zoom. They are telling you it has 20X variable optical zoom plus "some other X" digital zoom, which is another way of saying, a short telephoto lens (that's the 20X part) plus an "X" digital zoom, also know as "a convenient and frustrating but super fast way to ruin your output." There are online converters to figure out what a 20x is, in relation to whatever telephoto lens you are accustomed to. Hope this helps.

- A: AnswerDefinitely will NOT overheat -- you can run this continuously if needed and it'll be fine. It has two memory slots that can automatically flow from one to the other if a card gets full so, quite literally, you *could* run it 12 hours straight. You also can put larger-capacity SD cards in. Not sure on battery, but I'd recommend getting the larger ones you can find online if you need longer battery life. With the larger ones we can film 2 hours easily. That said -- 12-hour conference... plug it in! :-)

Best camcorder ever.(my baby)
The vixia hf g70 is the newest camcorder canon came out with. The quality on both video recording and camera(photos) is amazing. Not only that but you can customize your own P which has lots of slot that you can name and save for spesific shots so the editing wont be to much of a challenge. Ive used it for both photos and video recording.
