Canon EOS C80 RF Mount Cinema Camera Summary

The Canon EOS C80 RF Mount Cinema Camera marks the launch of Canon’s second next-generation Cinema camera, which builds on the successes of the C70 while inheriting cutting-edge technology from the EOS C400, which launched earlier in 2024.

The EOS C80 features the same 6K BSI stacked sensor as the C400, offering 16 stops of dynamic range and fast readout speeds. The body has been redesigned to be lighter and more streamlined, weighing around 1310g, and includes updated connectivity with SDI and Ethernet terminals.

The camera supports dual UHS-II SD memory cards, allowing high-frame-rate and numerous recording formats such as 4K 120p, 6K 30p internal RAW, and oversampled 4K 4:2:2 10-bit video. This meets the needs of filmmaking professionals across various industries, including TV drama, commercial and corporate productions, as well as news, live events and more.

With the rise of VR content creation, Canon has integrated VR compatibility into the EOS C80, which is also light and well-balanced enough in order to mount onto a gimbal, stabiliser rig or professional drone.

Other notable upgrades include significantly improved Autofocus with Canon’s latest Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, which features EOS iTR AF X. This system provides full sensor coverage, human and animal detection and tracking, with overall faster and more accurate performance than its predecessor.
