The Canon EOS C80 is a compact, full-frame 6K cinema camera built around Canon’s RF mount. It pairs the advanced sensor and processing power found in higher-end cinema systems with a lightweight, gimbal-friendly form factor, making it ideal for commercial, documentary, event, and narrative work.
Key Features
Triple base ISO: 800 / 3,200 / 12,800 for exceptional low-light performance
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with full-sensor coverage and advanced subject tracking, including animals
Oversampled 4K up to 120p and 1080p with 4:2:2 10-bit color
12G-SDI output, full-size HDMI, Ethernet, built-in Wi-Fi, and mini-XLR audio inputs
What’s New Compared to the C70
The C80 expands significantly on the C70 with higher sensor resolution, more internal and external recording options, improved connectivity, and enhanced autofocus performance. The upgraded BSI stacked CMOS sensor delivers 19.05 effective megapixels, a major jump from the C70, allowing for cleaner images, improved detail, and better overall performance. Autofocus now covers the entire sensor, providing greater flexibility in composition and more reliable tracking across the frame.
Recording & Performance
The C80 supports internal recording up to 6K30p in Cinema RAW Light, 4K120p, and 2K180p for high-frame-rate capture. It also offers 6K60p RAW output over HDMI for external recording. Dual SD card slots allow for relay recording, backup recording, proxy capture, or simultaneous recording in different formats.
With up to 16 stops of dynamic range, 12-bit RAW capability, professional I/O, and a compact body suitable for handheld or gimbal use, the Canon C80 is a versatile cinema camera that bridges the gap between full-size cinema rigs and smaller mirrorless systems—making it an excellent choice for a wide range of rental productions.
