Standout Features:

6K Full Frame Back-illuminated Stacked CMOS Sensor

The EOS C80 features our 6K back-illuminated stacked full frame CMOS sensor. The sensor offers exceptional low noise, enabling the camera to excel in a wide variety of lighting situations and maximizing the camera’s full dynamic range. The new sensor delivers faster read-out speeds than previous EOS sensors and when compared to a front-illuminated CMOS sensor, the new sensor’s architecture provides improved sensitivity as it increases light capturing efficiency and improves 4K image quality with 6K oversampling.

Triple Base ISO (800, 3200 and 12,800)

Our full frame 6K back-illuminated stacked sensor offers triple-base ISO, which allows the EOS C80 to deliver stunning imagery in a wide range of lighting conditions. With base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800, you will be able to maximize the full dynamic range of the sensor in brilliantly lit or low-light shooting conditions.

Internal Recording: 6K 30P Cinema RAW Light, XF-AVC, XF-HEVC S and XF-AVC S

The EOS C80 can record up to 6K 30P in Cinema RAW Light.

Other recording options include our standard XF-AVC codec which can record in 10-bit 4:2:2 with oversampling from the 6K sensor, creating rich detail and smooth imagery, at frame rates up to 120P, without the need for cropping the image from the sensor. For slow or fast motion recording, the EOS C80 can support up to 4K 120P and 2K 180.

Two additional recording codecs are now available: XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These formats feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.

Additionally, the EOS C80 also supports 6K/60P HDMI RAW output.

High-frame Rate Recording With Auto Focus and Subject Detection

When recording in slow and fast motion (Slow & Fast, 4:2:2 10-bit), the EOS C80 enables Dual Pixel AF II for frame rates of 100 and 120fps and Subject Detection for frame rates between 72-120fps.

Dual SD Card Slots

The EOS C80 features two SD Card slots supporting simultaneous recordingii and a variety of recording modes, such as simultaneous recording for backup or proxy files for editing, simultaneous recording of different formats and resolutions, and relay recording, which is critical for lengthy video shoots. The slots are compatible with SD UHS-II, V90-class cards.
 

 Camera-to-Cloud Collaboration

With the release of the December 2024 firmware, the camera will have native compatibility with Frame.io’s Camera-to-Cloud (C2C) technology. This addition will enable you to send proxy files while recording internally, directly from the camera, for a faster and more secure path from production to post. The efficient proxy files don’t require additional processing or conversion, and are available to view, share, and edit remotely between teams in different locations.

 Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

The EOS C80 supports the next generation of Canon’s acclaimed Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II. The camera’s back-illuminated stacked sensor provides better light-capturing efficiency, widening the area of the sensor that can be used for AF.

 
 EOS iTR AF X (People Detection)

With outstanding speed, precision, and a wide autofocus range, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II uses the EOS Intelligent Tracking and Recognition (iTR AF X) algorithm, developed with deep learning technology, to enable high-performance detection of human beings. In addition to human eyes, face, and head, the camera can detect a human body and follow it with high accuracy.​

 
 EOS iTR AF X (Animal Detection)

iTR AF X Animal Detection detects the eyes, face, or the entire body of an animal to enable highly accurate focusing and tracking not affected by subject size or face orientationiii.
 

12G-SDI and a Variety of Interfaces​

The EOS C80 has a diverse set of interfaces making it a versatile camera for variety of productions. The EOS C80 distinguishes itself with built-in 12G or 3G SDI and a second full-sized BNC output for Time Code, which enable uncompressed video signal transfer with a secure cable connection.

Other interfaces include: two three-pin mini-XLR audio inputs (INPUT 1 and INPUT 2), a Microphone terminal (3.5mm stereo mini-jack), and REMOTE terminal (2.5mm stereo mini-mini), a full-size HDMI interface (HDMI OUT, Type A Terminal).

With the December 2024 firmware upgrade, the EOS C80 gains a 1920x1080P output option while recording internally at higher resolutions.

Ethernet, and Wi-Fi Control

The built-in Ethernet port and Wi-Fi enable Canon's IP-based remote control XC Protocol. XC Protocol maximizes operability and remote control of camera settings. Using the XC Protocol, the camera can be operated by Canon’s RC-IP1000 and RC-IP100 controllers (sold separately), and XC Protocol-enabled third-party remote control panels (RCP) can remotely shade the camera.

Additionally, Canon’s Remote Control Camera Application (RCCA) can control camera settings as well as multiple cameras. The camera also features SRT protocol, enabling IP streaming of video and audio.

Built-in ND Filters, Improved Body Design, Compact and Lightweight

The EOS C80’s compact mechanical ND filter assembly is specifically designed for the RF mount's short flange back. Buttons for direct control of ND filters are located on the right-hand side of the camera.

The EOS C80 provides up to ten stops of ND filtration, allowing users to shoot in various lighting conditions. The use of ND filters allows a camera operator to adjust exposure while maintaining the depth of field.

The RF mount’s short flange back allows the EOS C80’s body to be small and lightweight, making the camera just as comfortable on a drone or a gimbal as it is on your shoulder, a tripod, or any configuration where compact size and light weight are important.
 

Auto Clear Scan Mode

The Auto Clear Scan setting available in the EOS C80, is an automatic shutter mode setting that can detect the frequency of light sources between 50.0 Hz to 2011.2 Hz to help reduce or virtually eliminate the flickering in some LED walls.

 
Mount Adapter PL-RF with Cooke/i Technology Compatibility

The Mount Adapter PL-RF, new to the RF ecosystem, unlocks a broad assortment of PL mount lenses for Canon’s RF cameras. The adapter is compatible with Cooke/i Technology’s metadata protocol and includes lock plates to ensure a secure lens mount.

The December 2024 firmware update adds compatibility with the new RF70-200mm F2.8 L IS USM Z zoom lens and the RF24mm F1.4 L VCM and RF50mm F1.4 L VCM hybrid lenses
