Canon EOS C80

Introduced in September 2024, the Canon EOS C80 is a groundbreaking compact cinema camera that bridges professional motion picture capability with mirrorless agility within the Cinema EOS lineup from Canon. Built upon the celebrated form factor of the C70, the Canon EOS C80 delivers a transformative full-frame imaging pipeline within a compact RF-mount chassis, granting solo shooters, gimbal operators, and documentary cinematographers over 16 stops of dynamic range alongside uncompromising production flexibility.

At its engineering core, the Canon EOS C80 integrates a newly developed 6K full-frame back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor driven by the DIGIC DV 7 processor, introducing a versatile Triple-Base ISO architecture (800, 3200, and 12,800 in Canon Log and RAW) that ensures ultra-clean imagery across extreme lighting setups. The camera records internal 12-bit Cinema RAW Light LT up to 6K at 30p, oversampled 4K up to 120p and 2K up to 180p in 10-bit 4:2:2 XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S, supported by next-generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with deep-learning subject detection and a motorized ultra-thin internal ND filter system providing up to 10 stops of light reduction.

Tailored for high-end broadcast, live multi-camera productions, and virtual filmmaking environments, the Canon EOS C80 offers a comprehensive interface array featuring dedicated 12G-SDI output, full-size HDMI, BNC timecode terminal, dual mini-XLR audio inputs, built-in Gigabit Ethernet, and Wi-Fi IP streaming. Complemented by a vibrant 3.5-inch vari-angle touchscreen LCD and dual UHS-II SD card slots, the Canon EOS C80 establishes itself as an indispensable powerhouse that redefines compact cinema production worldwide.
