Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame RF-Mount Cinema Camera

Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame RF-Mount Cinema Camera

The Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera is a compact RF-mount production camera built for 6K RAW acquisition, oversampled 4K video, and professional multicamera workflows. Its back-illuminated stacked sensor, triple-base ISO, advanced autofocus, internal ND filters, and 12G-SDI connectivity support documentary, commercial, broadcast, and narrative production.

Designed for solo operators and compact crews, the EOS C80 records 12-bit RAW internally and reaches 4K 120p or 2K 180p for detailed slow motion. Dual UHS-II SD slots support relay, backup, proxy, and mixed-format recording, while the articulating touchscreen and lightweight body streamline handheld, gimbal, drone, shoulder, and tripod configurations.

Canon Log 2 provides up to 16 stops of dynamic range, while Canon Log 3, HDR gamma options, custom LUT support, and 6K oversampling offer flexible color workflows. Built-in Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, Camera to Cloud compatibility, SRT streaming, separate SDI and timecode connections, and professional audio inputs help the camera integrate into connected production environments.
