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.
6K Full-Frame Sensor
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.
Multiple Recording Formats
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.
RF Lens Mount
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.
Optional PL-RF Adapter
A new PL-RF lens mount adapter enables you to access a wide variety of ARRI PL-mount cine-style lenses.
This adapter features Cooke/i metadata compatibility and locking plates for a secure fit.
Multiple Interfaces Including 12G-SDI
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.
Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus
Improved Dual-Pixel CMOS AF Technology uses each pixel on approximately 100% of the CMOS sensor for focus detection and image information.
The back-illuminated stacked sensor's excellent light capture widens the sensor area, which can be used for AF.
The EOS C80 also offers the EOS iTR AF X autofocus function featuring an algorithm developed using deep-learning technology to detect the human form.
Mini-XLR Audio Inputs
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.
Built-In ND Filters
Designed for the EOS C80 RF mount's short flange distance, a thin motorized ND filter unit enables users to quickly select up to 10 stops of neutral density.
ND button controls on the right side of the camera enable operators to quickly adjust exposure while maintaining their shot's depth of field.
Log2/3 and 3D LUT Support
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.
Compact Design with Tilting LCD
The compact EOS C80 features a lightweight design with a built-in ergonomic grip and a joystick control.
It has a Multi-Accessory hot shoe on top and comes with a detachable handle and a mic holder.
The LCD screen features a reinforced hinge and built-in controls like focus peaking, waveforms, and more.
Dual SD Card Slots / Multiple Recording Options
Dual SD card slots on the EOS C80 offer 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 the XC protocol-base remote control.
Compatibility with the Canon Multicamera Control app for iPhone provides monitoring and start/stop, focus, iris, zoom, ND filter, ISO, shutter, white balance, custom picture control, and more.
BP-AN Series Battery
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.

Canon C80 RF Mount Reviews
Improvement on the C70 in almost every way
By David
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2026-05-03
I remember when CineD did their dynamic range test on the C400 (same sensor as the C80) and there was an uproar from C70/C300iii lovers that this camera was a step backward. I own both the C80 and C70 and I use the C80 as my primary camera. Here's why:
1) Unless you're shooting in raw then there's no difference in perceivable noise between these cameras. The 6K downsampling to 4K in XF-AVC hides a lot of fine noise!
2) Triple base ISO is so useful. It's not just low light situations. It's the flexibility to shoot 120P indoors without wincing about doing NR in post. It's also great when you are using an F4 zoom lens in average lighting conditions to bump up to 3200 base and then back down to 1600.
3) The full frame sensor makes using photo zooms on this body less awkward. 24mm is not wide enough on the wide end of a zoom on a super 35 sensor for most scenarios.
4) SDI out for a clean signal out to a client monitor is a feature I didn't know I was missing. It's really improved client perception for my company. The location up near the handle is great too for a short cable run to a transmitter mounted at the top of the camera.
5) AF is super reliable for interviews. On the C70 I had to babysit the camera in certain scenarios on AF. Not the C80!
6) Sensor readout is fast enough that I haven't experienced jello-cam at all when shooting handheld.
7) The joystick for navigating the menus is so much more usable and accurate than the stubby C70 one. I avoided that one at all costs.
8) Strong LCD hinge. I had an early C70 unit and needed to replace the hinge. The replacement was flimsy too.
C70 Strengths:
1) The SELECT wheel can be mapped to change ISO/kelvin/iris etc. In May 2026 the C80 still doesn't let you do this for some reason.
2) In raw at ISO 800 this is a cleaner image due to the DGO sensor compared to the C80 in super 35 mode. If you intend to shoot in super 35 use the C70.
3) Raw up to 60p vs only up to 30p in the C80.
The C80 is the first camera since the XH-A1 (2006) that I bought and didn't have a long wishlist of improvements shortly afterward. I plan to keep this camera for 6-8 years. It's hard to imagine what could replace it for me.
Lighter version of the C400

Rated 5 out of 5

All the functionality of theC400 with less weight. Using this with the Ronin gimble for handheld video. Much lighter and steadier than lugging my C500 around on my shoulder. Love the flexibility of the 24-105 lens. The C80 is not yet fully compatible with the Ronin DJI RS 4Pro. And that the only bummer. Come on Ronin get on board and get an interface built for the C80!

Does the C80 color match the C70 in Rec 709, C-Log2 or C-Log3? The C70 & C300 III don't match the C300 II (~600K diff in WB).
Asked by: L
Because the Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera (Canon RF) shares a sensor with the Canon EOS C400 6K Full-Frame Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF), it is unlikely that the C70 and C80 will match. With proper color chipping and white balancing, they can be extremely close.
