Offering exceptional 6K30 full-frame capture in a compact form, the Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera melds the EOS C400's CMOS sensor with a lightweight design similar to the EOS C70. Ideal for fast-paced capture and solo operators, this digital camera features triple ISO bases of 800, 3200, and 12,800 in log/raw, upgraded Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus, and simultaneous 12G-SDI and HDMI video output. The EOS C80's RF mount provides compatibility with fast, reliable Canon RF lenses, and a motorized ND filter wheel enables on-the-fly exposure tweaking.
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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
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.
Dual SD card slots on the EOS C80 offer simultaneous, relay, and proxy video recording. The EOS C80 can also capture JPEG still photos.
- 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.
