Discover the groundbreaking cinema camera with an RF mount that will revolutionize both filmmaking and live broadcasting. Based on the subsequent EOS R5 C and EOS C70 devices, the EOS C80 seamlessly combines cutting-edge technology with a compact and ergonomic design, facilitating professional cinematic capture.
The latest addition to Canon’s acclaimed EOS R System family offers a range of advanced features that have been meticulously crafted to meet the changing demands of today’s visual creators.
A new full-frame stacked BSI sensor – best in class
The EOS C80 is Canon’s second EOS cinema camera to feature the revolutionary stacked back-illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor first seen in the EOS C400 earlier this year. This cutting-edge sensor unlocks the potential for stunning full-frame 6K imaging with 16-stops of dynamic range, while delivering exceptional sensitivity with minimal noise for breathtaking shots.
Filmmakers can adapt to changing lighting conditions with ease thanks to the innovative Triple Base Sensitivity system (ISO 800 / 3200 / 12800*). It guarantees optimum image quality in any environment. For maximum flexibility, an intelligent auto-switching mode seamlessly switches between these basic sensitivity levels – so you can keep up with dynamic environments, such as when shooting news or sports events.
The EOS C80 features Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology, and has been enhanced with advanced autofocus functions that deliver unparalleled precision and responsiveness. With extremely precise face, eye and head tracking, as well as newly developed body and animal tracking, the camera ensures that your subject remains in sharp focus no matter how complicated the shot.
Familiar yet improved design plus professional connectivity
The EOS C80 takes its design cues from the acclaimed EOS C70 compact camera, while offering an even better user experience thanks to improved ergonomics. As a result, it is particularly suitable for handheld shooting, as well as for use on gimbals and drones. The newly designed removable top handle provides increased comfort, while a new multi-functional hot shoe expands the range of compatible audio accessories to include new devices. The camera also features a brighter LCD panel for improved visibility when working outdoors. The joystick has also been redesigned to be closer to the thumb for improved ease of use.
The EOS C80 is the latest camera in the Cinema EOS system to support the PL to RF mount adaptor. This innovation opens up a world of creative possibilities for filmmakers, giving them access to a vast library of standard PL mount cinema lenses, including those supporting Cooke’s /i TechnologyTM metadata.
Canon understands how important smooth workflows are in today’s fast-paced production environments, and the EOS C80 excels in this regard too. It features reliable Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity for easy file transfer, remote control, internet streaming and seamless collaboration with other devices on set.
Capture and send lens metadata and distortion data in real time for unprecedented workflow efficiency, as well as creative control over visual effects and virtual production. Telling immersive stories just got easier with integrated VR capabilities optimized for the groundbreaking Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8L Dual Fisheye lens.
Enhanced recording formats
The EOS C80 lets you capture your vision with unparalleled fidelity and flexibility. Filmmakers can capture a wide range of professional formats at high frame rates to meet the demands of any production.
Canon’s latest offering includes support for not only 12-bit Cinema RAW Light (up to 6K 30p), but also the latest MP4 video formats such as XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These options deliver exceptional 4K 4:2:2 10-bit oversampling image quality and manageable file sizes. This streamlines workflows from production to post-production. All recording formats feature detailed metadata and structured file names, helping to streamline workflows and edit footage.
A new era for Canon’s Cinema EOS series
Designed for today’s and tomorrow’s filmmakers, this groundbreaking camera combines the best features of its predecessors with a range of cutting-edge features. The EOS C80 is more than just a camera - it is a gateway to unlimited possibilities and unleashed creativity in every film production.
