State-of-the-Art Technology: 6K Full-Frame BSI Stacked Sensor

The EOS C80 is Canon’s second EOS Cinema camera to feature a Backside Illuminated (BSI) stacked CMOS sensor, first introduced with the EOS C400 earlier this year. This sensor enables stunning 6K full-frame recording with a dynamic range of 16 stops, offering exceptional sensitivity with minimal noise.

The Canon EOS C80’s Triple Base ISO of 800, 3,200, and 12,800 allows effortless adaptation to varying lighting conditions, delivering optimal image quality in any environment. An intelligent automatic mode seamlessly switches between these native ISO settings, benefiting dynamic scenes such as news broadcasts or live sports events.

Equipped with Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology, the EOS C80 now features advanced autofocus functions for unparalleled precision and responsiveness. With responsive face, eye, and head tracking, as well as newly developed body and animal tracking, the subject remains in focus.


Proven and Enhanced Design with Professional Connectivity Options

The EOS C80 retains the compact and familiar form of the EOS C70, with refined ergonomics that are especially beneficial for handheld use or mounting on gimbals and drones.

The newly designed and detachable top handle enhances comfort, while a new multifunctional accessory shoe expands compatibility with audio accessories. Additionally, the camera features a brighter LCD display for improved visibility in outdoor use. The redesigned joystick is now closer to the thumb, making operation easier.

As the latest addition to the Cinema EOS System, the EOS C80 supports the Canon PL-RF adapter, opening up a world of creative possibilities. Filmmakers can access a broad range of PL mount lenses, including support for Cooke /i Technology™ metadata.

Integrated Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity ensure seamless file transfer, camera control, IP streaming, and optimized collaboration on set.

Real-time capture and output of lens metadata and directory data enable workflow efficiency and creative control for VFX and virtual productions. The integrated VR functions are optimized for use with the Canon RF 5.2mm F2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens, delivering a realistic filming experience.

These options provide exceptional 4K 4:2:2 10-bit image quality with oversampling at manageable file sizes, optimizing workflows from recording to post-production. All recording formats benefit from detailed metadata and structured filenames for seamless organization and efficient editing.
