The EOS C80 inherits the advanced mobility and operability of the EOS C70 and is also equipped with an RF mount that enables a shallow depth of field for achieving striking and high-quality visual expression with gorgeous bokeh through the use of a 6K full-frame sensor which is also included in the EOS C400. It features an enhanced set of interfaces, including SDI—widely used in video production—to support a wide variety of visual content production from movies and TV dramas to live footage such as news reports and live broadcasts and is even equipped to handle developed metadata for virtual production.

Through coordination between the 6K full-frame, back-illuminated stacked CMOS sensor and a DIGIC DV 7 image processing engine, the EOS C80 can not only minimize rolling shutter distortion but also shoot high-quality 4K video^*1 through 6K/30 P for internal RAW recording and 6K over-sampling. In addition, users can switch between three levels of Base ISO (base sensitivity) to match the brightness of the shooting scenario, thus enabling noise-reduced shooting even in dark locations such as nighttime or indoors. The camera is also equipped to handle recording at frame rates of up to 4K / 120P^*2 and 2K / 180P and is capable of shooting impressive slow-motion footage.

While maintaining mobility thanks to a compact and lightweight housing, the EOS C80 is also equipped with an SDI video outlet, thereby allowing for simultaneous SDI/HDMI output to external devices. Through the built-in Wi-Fi interface or an ethernet port, the device can not only forward video data through IP streaming, but also support workflows including centralized remote-control operation connecting multiple cameras in order to suit a wide variety of shooting styles such as live video production. Additionally, the device features a multi-function accessory shoe that can be attached to various accessories separately from a newly designed handle unit to enable high-speed communication and power supply from the main unit to these accessories.

The EOS C80 offers improved operability and ease of use that help to support high-quality video production. It has been installed with an “EOS iTR AF X” algorithm that harnesses Canon’s unique Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus (AF) system and deep learning, thereby enabling high-speed, high-accuracy and wide-ranging AF with excellent tracking capabilities and high-performance subject detection; this in turn allows users to shoot while concentrating on camera work such as composition and zoom operation without having to worry about focus even when working as the sole camera operator. It also features a bright LCD panel to improve outdoor visibility. Furthermore, the joystick is specifically shaped to fit the movement of the user’s thumb and is located right where the thumb is positioned when holding the grip, thereby allowing for quick and accurate menu operations, or setting changes.
