Canon announced the EOS C80 with a full-frame 6K BSI sensor and triple the native ISO.
The EOS Cinema range expands with the launch of a powerful professional camera that gives an edge to your full-frame video and live productions.
The EOS C80 is a compact camera with a full-frame 6K BSI sensor, triple base ISO, and 13 customisation buttons in a familiar, robust body. Based on Canon's color science to ensure warm skin tones and a naturally pleasing image. With professional connectivity, the EOS C80 is your partner for video and live productions.
What is Triple Base ISO?
Triple Base ISO provides the best signal-to-noise ratio at multiple gains. Canon's cutting-edge 6K BSI sensor measures at three base ISOs - 800, 3200, and 12800 ISO* - choose one or use automatic switching, and the EOS C80 will select the optimal setting.
Fundamentals: BSI Sensors
The improved stacked Back-Side Illumination (BSI) sensor architecture places the electrical circuitry beneath the sensor plane. Benefits include increased dynamic range, autofocus, and rolling shutter efficiency.
Why is metadata so important?
In VFX and virtual production workflows, camera metadata is essential for achieving professional results. The EOS C80 and Canon RF allow you to extract all metadata - from ISO to f-stop and even distortion correction - so your post-processing becomes smoother than ever.
Full-Frame 6K BSI Sensor
Capture breathtaking footage with Canon's cutting-edge Back-Side Illumination (BSI) sensor, delivering next-generation capabilities, triple base ISO (800 / 3200 / 12800), organic color reproduction, and 16 stops of dynamic range.
Compact, ergonomic, and familiar design
The familiar and updated design provides improved ergonomics, connectivity, as well as an updated joystick and multi-function hot shoe. Use the top handle or create your own rig, giving you the flexibility to shoot your way in challenging conditions.
