Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera (Canon RF) offers exceptional 6K30 full-frame capture in a compact body. The EOS C80 merges the CMOS sensor of the EOS C400 with a lightweight design similar to the EOS C70. Perfect for fast-paced shooting and solo operators, this digital cinema camera 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 video outputs. The EOS C80’s RF mount ensures compatibility with Canon’s fast and reliable RF lenses, while a motorized ND filter wheel allows on-the-fly exposure adjustments.
6K Full-Frame Sensor
At the heart of the C80 lies a 6K full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers exceptionally low noise, improved sensitivity efficiency, and superior 4K images through 6K oversampling. This is made possible by the enhanced light-gathering capability of the back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor.
Multiple Recording Formats
The C80 supports up to 6K30 Canon Cinema RAW Light LT full-frame and S35 cropped up to 4K30 in RAW ST and 4K60 in RAW LT. Oversampled 4K 120p and detailed 2K 180p are also available, all in 10-bit 4:2:2 color. Slow and fast motion can be captured up to UHD 4K120 using HEVC and AVC codecs. Simplify your post-production workflow with XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S codecs, offering easier folder structures, file naming, and metadata retention within the MP4 format.
RF Lens Mount
An integrated RF lens mount gives the EOS C80 compatibility with Canon’s high-speed, reliable RF-mount lenses featuring advanced coatings and image stabilization. The short flange distance of the RF mount helps reduce camera body depth, resulting in a more compact design.
Optional PL-RF Adapter
A new optional PL-RF lens mount adapter provides access to a wide array of cinema-style ARRI PL-mount lenses. This adapter supports Cooke/i metadata and includes locking plates for a secure fit.
Multiple Interfaces Including 12G-SDI
Video outputs include full-size HDMI and 12G-SDI BNC ports, both usable simultaneously to power an onboard monitor, video transmitter, or EVF. Use the USB-C port for UVC video output or connect to a smartphone or the Canon GP-E2 GPS receiver. A BNC connector supports timecode input/output, simplifying multi-camera shoot synchronization.
Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus
The improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF uses every pixel across approximately 100% of the sensor to detect focus and gather image information. The superior light capture of the back-illuminated stacked sensor expands the usable AF area. EOS C80 also features EOS iTR AF X, with deep learning-based human shape detection algorithms.
Mini-XLR Audio Inputs
Two mini-XLR inputs with phantom power and manual control dials provide professional audio recording options. The EOS C80 supports four-channel audio via two mini-XLR ports, a built-in stereo mic, and a 3.5mm mic input.
Built-In ND Filters
Designed for the short flange distance of the RF mount, the EOS C80 features a slim, motorized ND filter unit that enables quick selection of up to 10 stops of neutral density. ND button controls on the camera's right side allow quick exposure adjustments while preserving depth of field.
Log2/3 and 3D LUT Support
For greater post-production flexibility, the C80 supports Canon Log 2 and Log 3 gamma modes, delivering extended dynamic range with excellent tonal reproduction in highlights and shadow areas. EOS C80 also supports 3D LUTs, enabling accurate color reproduction on both its LCD and external viewing monitors.
Compact Design with Tiltable LCD
The compact EOS C80 features a lightweight design with an integrated ergonomic grip and joystick control.
It includes a multi-accessory shoe on the top, a detachable handle, and a microphone holder.
The LCD screen has a reinforced hinge and built-in controls such as focus peaking, waveform monitor, and more.
Dual SD Card Slots / Multiple Recording Options
The EOS C80's dual SD card slots support 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 remote control via the XC protocol.
Compatibility with the Canon Multicamera Control app for iPhone enables monitoring and start/stop, focus, aperture, zoom, ND filter, ISO, shutter speed, white balance, custom image controls, and more.
Included BP-AN Series Battery
Power the C80 using the included BP-A30N battery, a BP-A60N, or a 24V DC adapter.
Older BP-A batteries are also compatible but will not power the multi-accessory shoe.
Support your C80 with a third-party cage to add a V-mount or Gold mount battery plate for extended run times.
