About a month ago I picked up a canon 70D and some lenses as a second body to do photo and video work alongside my Sony a6300. So far I love it. While I generally do prefer most of the technical aspects of the Sony when it comes to image quality and features, the handling of the 70D is fantastic.
My biggest issue as of right now is video related. Not the lack of 4K or higher frame rates, that I knew going in. More the lack of dynamic range in video that I'm used to with the a6300 and S-Log. I know the sensor in the Sony is newer and more advanced, but I get a feeling the picture profiles Canon put on the 70D are really holding it back. This is where EOSHD's C-LOG hack comes into play.
Every blog and camera-site post that I've seen discusses it in regards to the 5D, 1DX ii and 7D mkii, but not my camera in particular. If it was free like Cinestyle (which having tried it, I don't like that much) I would just test it myself, but is $20. Does anyone have any experience loading this fake "log" onto a 70D or 80D? I would prefer a bit of feedback from someone who's used it before I spend $20 and try it myself. I know it's not an inordinate amount of money, but if I decide that I hate it and never want to use it again, then I've just thrown that money away.
Any insight is appreciated, thanks!
The problem I had with 'flat' profiles (this was a while back though, with a 60D) was that it fought the camera's low bitrate too much.
Since so much more information gets crammed into the video, the codec really struggled on maintaining detail. Once I actually tried to grade it, the shots just fell apart into blocky mush. The codec just couldn't cope with it.
Maybe the 80D is better at it; you should be able to get a good feel for how well it will work out by trying Cinestyle (even though you don't like it) and seeing how far you can push some test shots in post. The 'C-Log' hack won't solve that issue, you're still stuck with the same low bitrate.
In my opinion though you'd be better off shooting the canon with a standard profile then matching your a6300 to that. There are LUTs knocking around specifically for making Sony S-log match Canon.
Why are people always trying to force a square peg into a round hole around here?

So I have spent a lot of the past 6 months finally learning the basics of color correcting/grading for Drone footage which has been my primary medium. Ive gotten comfortable enough where, I think I want to start shooting everything flat so I can work in DSLR footage with aerial stuff. I assume this would best be done by shooting everything flat and grading from there.
Magic Lantern? Technicolor Cinestyle? Ive done research but I still am a bit unsure of how best to do this.
Oi, trabalhei como editor de vídeo por uns 6 anos e quero me dedicar a produtos-vídeos comerciais-fotografia, consegui uma 70d, mas estou perdido e qualquer ajuda\tutoriais para usá-la serão apreciados.
de qualquer forma, quero tentar filmar com footage em log, mas não consegui encontrar uma maneira de fazer isso e sim, eu procurei online!
obrigado desde já
Okay so it seems my canon eos-70d just broke. I have 3 ef-s lenses for it that I very much like and I would love to keep. What would be the best camera that is compatible with those and ideally would be an upgrade to the 70D? (For video production) I don't have a budget in mind. It would really depend on the Return of Investment.
Would love to get your advice as I don't focus on camera work and therefore don't have the required knowledge to make an educated decision. Thanks so much!
