Canon announced the C80 camera, the massive update is the introduction of a full-frame 26 MP Stacked CMOS sensor. The Canon C80’s stacked CMOS sensor can capture video up to 6K resolution without oversampling, and hence you can record as much as you want without overheating issues. And also features a triple-base ISO design, with bases at ISO 800, 3200, and 12,800.
2nd Gen of DPAF
The new sensor is fabricated with advanced DPAF 2nd gen of Autofocus points, The AF algorithm is also updated, so now you can easily track and focus 3d moving objects more precisely as well and animal eye AF tracking is also included.
A PURE Cinema Camera
12G-SDI terminals to allow for output of uncompressed video signals, Canon’s multi-function shoe, a new lightweight handle accessory for attaching multi-function accessories, a third 1/4″-20 tripod thread on the base of the camera and another on top, and an ethernet terminal. Connections include full-sized HDMI-out, two mini XLR audio inputs, a 3.5mm microphone jack, 4-channel audio support, and a Time Code terminal. There are 13 custom buttons.
Built-in ND Filters
ND filter system as the EOS C400, with five settings ranging from ND2 to ND10, and there’s a helpful tape measure hook on the top of the camera for planning focus and focus pulls.
Crop in 4k 60p? Disappointing thing in 2024
Canon C80 can capture up to 6K/30p video using the width of its sensor or up to 4K/60p using a Super 35mm crop when using Canon’s Cinema RAW LT (‘light’) codec.
Codec Support
The camera also supports compressed codecs, including Canon’s XF-AVC, XF-HEVC S, and XF-AVC S codecs, all of which support video capture up to 4K/60p (downsampled from 6K) in 4:2:2 10-bit color, using either All-I or Long-GOP formats.
Limitation of the UHS-II SD Cards
It doesn’t support Canon’s higher bit rate Cinema RAW formats, HQ and ST, which require write speeds beyond the ability of the C80’s dual-SD (UHS-II) memory cards.

Canon C80 Press Release
Canon Introduces the EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera
New EOS C80 RF-Mount Camera Features a 6K Full-Frame, Back-Illuminated Stacked CMOS
Sensor, Triple-Base ISO, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II and 12G-SDI
MELVILLE, N.Y., September 9, 2024 – Canon U.S.A. Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, is pleased to announce the new EOS C80 cinema camera, with a native RF-mount and full-frame, back- illuminated stacked CMOS sensor, designed for filmmakers that require a full-featured camera in a compact body.
6K Full-Frame Back-Illuminated Stacked CMOS Sensor
The Canon EOS C80 camera features a 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, with triple-base ISO, allowing the camera to deliver stunning imagery in a wide range of lighting conditions. The base ISOs of 800, 3200, and 12,800 maximize the full dynamic range of the camera. The EOS C80 camera also features Canon’s latest Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus, Dual Pixel AF II. The back-illuminated stacked sensor’s positioning offers superb light-capturing efficiency, which widens the area of the sensor that can be used for autofocusing. The sensor also empowers fast readout speed, as well as amazing 4K image quality from 6K oversampling.
12-G SDI and a Variety of Interfaces
In addition to moving to a full-frame sensor, the EOS C80 camera has also stepped up from its predecessor by adding 12G-SDI output, which enables uncompressed transfer of your video signal with a secure cable connection. The camera’s design includes a variety of other interfaces including HDMI, mini-XLR audio inputs, time code, built-in Wi-Fi® connectivity, and Ethernet. This internet connectivity enables the camera to be controlled remotely via our IP-based XC Protocol using Canon’s Remote Camera Control Application (available for free on the Canon USA Website), or our Multi-Camera Control App for iPhone (available for free on the App Store).
Compact Design
The compact and lightweight EOS C80 camera is suitable on a drone, gimbal, tripod, or in any configuration where compact size and light weight are important. The camera is ergonomically designed with a new, lightweight handle assembly. The Multi-function Shoe is located just above the LCD screen and the joystick controller provides easy control and menu navigation.
Recording Options
The EOS C80 camera 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 without the need for cropping the image from the sensor.Furthermore, autofocus is enabled when recording in slow or fast motion at up to 4K 120P. Additionally, the EOS C80 camera has two more recording codecs, XF-AVC S and XF-HEVC S. These formats were first introduced with the EOS C400 camera and feature an easy-to-manage naming system and folder structure, while recording in the familiar MP4 format and preserving metadata.
Pricing and Availability
The Canon Cinema EOS C80 Full-Frame camera is scheduled to be available in November 2024 for an estimated retail price of $5,499.00. For more information, please visit www.usa.canon.com.
