Delivering outstanding 6K30 full-frame recording in a compact body, the Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera combines the EOS C400’s powerful CMOS sensor with the lightweight form factor of the EOS C70. Designed for fast-paced shoots and solo operators, it features triple native ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800 in log/raw, enhanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus, and simultaneous 12G-SDI and HDMI outputs. The EOS C80’s RF mount ensures seamless compatibility with Canon’s high-performance RF lenses, while a motorized ND filter wheel allows quick, precise exposure adjustments on the go.
6K Full-Frame Sensor
The 6K full-frame CMOS sensor at the heart of the C80 camera enables it to offer exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling. All this is possible thanks to the improved light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor.
Multiple Recording Formats
- The C80's multiple recording formats include up to full-frame 6K30 Canon Cinema RAW Light LT and cropped S35 up to 4K30 in RAW ST and 4K60 in RAW LT.
- Oversampled 4K 120p or 2K 180p with maximized detail is available, all with 4:2:2 10-bit color.
- Slow and fast motion can be captured at rates up to UHD 4K120 in HEVC and AVC codecs.
- Make your editing process easier using XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S codecs, featuring an easier naming system and folder structure, as well as metadata preservation, all within the established MP4 format.
RF Lens Mount
A built-in RF lens mount lends the EOS C80 compatibility with Canon's line of fast, reliable RF-mount lenses with advanced coatings and image stabilization.
With a short flange distance, the RF mount helps to noticeably reduce the camera body's depth, resulting in a more compact design.
Optional PL-RF Adapter
- A new PL-RF lens mount adapter enables you to access a wide variety of ARRI PL-mount cine-style lenses.
- This adapter features Cooke/i metadata compatibility and locking plates for a secure fit.
Multiple Interfaces Including 12G-SDI
- Video outputs include full-size HDMI and 12G-SDI BNC outputs that can be used simultaneously for feeding an onboard monitor, video transmitter, or EVF.
- Use the USB-C port for UVC video output or to connect to a smartphone or the Canon GP-E2 GPS receiver.
- A BNC connector enables users to input and output timecode, making syncing on multicamera shoots easier.
- Note that the BNC port can output either SDI video or timecode but not both simultaneously.
Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus
- Improved Dual-Pixel CMOS AF Technology uses each pixel on approximately 100% of the CMOS sensor for focus detection and image information.
- The back-illuminated stacked sensor's excellent light capture widens the sensor area, which can be used for AF.
- The EOS C80 also offers the EOS iTR AF X autofocus function featuring an algorithm developed using deep-learning technology to detect the human form.
Mini-XLR Audio Inputs
- Two mini-XLR inputs with phantom power and manual control dials provide professional audio recording options.
- The EOS C80 supports 4-channel audio using dual mini-XLR ports, an internal stereo mic, and a 3.5mm mic input.
Built-In ND Filters
- Designed for the EOS C80 RF mount's short flange distance, a thin motorized ND filter unit enables users to quickly select up to 10 stops of neutral density.
- ND button controls on the right side of the camera enable operators to quickly adjust exposure while maintaining their shot's depth of field.
Log2/3 and 3D LUT Support
For greater post-production flexibility, the C80 offers Canon's Log 2 and Log 3 gamma modes, which provide an expanded dynamic range with excellent tonal reproduction for highlights and in low-light areas of your images. The EOS C80 also supports 3D LUTs, so you can get the most accurate color reproduction on both the LCD and your external viewing monitors.
Compact Design with Tilting LCD
- The compact EOS C80 features a lightweight design with a built-in ergonomic grip and a joystick control.
- It has a Multi-Accessory hot shoe on top and comes with a detachable handle and a mic holder.
- The LCD screen features a reinforced hinge and built-in controls like focus peaking, waveforms, and more.
Dual SD Card Slots / Multiple Recording Options
Dual SD card slots on the EOS C80 offer simultaneous, relay, and proxy video recording. The EOS C80 can also capture JPEG still photos.
Ethernet and Wi-Fi Control
- Use the Ethernet port and built-in Wi-Fi with an optional Canon RC-IP1000 or RC-IP100 unit to access the XC protocol-base remote control.
- Compatibility with the Canon Multicamera Control app for iPhone provides monitoring and start/stop, focus, iris, zoom, ND filter, ISO, shutter, white balance, custom picture control, and more.
BP-AN Series Battery
- Use the included BP-A30N battery, a BP-A60N battery, or a 24 VDC adapter to power the C80. Older BP-A batteries can also be used but will not power the Multi-Accessory hot shoe.
- Support your C80 with a third-party cage to add a V-mount or Gold mount battery plate to enable longer runtimes.
Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Lens
Poised to be the new workhorse zoom, the Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM is a versatile wide-angle to portrait-length lens characterized by its bright, advanced, and intuitive design. The constant f/2.8 maximum aperture suits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables greater control over depth of field. The optical design incorporates a series of aspherical and Ultra-Low Dispersion elements, which greatly reduce a variety of aberrations throughout the zoom range in order to produce sharp and clear imagery. An Air Sphere Coating has also been applied to suppress flare and ghosting when working in strong lighting conditions.
Balancing the distinguished optical assets is the Nano USM focus system, which delivers fast, nearly silent autofocus performance with full-time manual focus override. An Image Stabilizer also compensates for up to five stops of camera shake to help produce sharper handheld shots in difficult lighting conditions. A unique Control Ring is also integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over exposure settings from the lens itself. Additionally, this 24-70mm is weather-sealed and has a fluorine coating to protect the front and rear elements.
