The long awaited successor to the Canon C70 is here, the Canon C80 Cinema Camera. The only disappointment to us is that it doesn’t have DGO (dual-gain) sensor like the C70. However, it does make a few quality of life improvements, a full frame sensor, and provides some additional outputs, all at $5500, so we aren’t really complaining.
Some of the main features include:
- 6K FF Back-Illuminated CMOS Sensor
- 6K30, DCI 4K/2K, UHD 4K120 S35 Recording
- Full Frame and Super35 Modes
- 12G-SDI and HDMI Simultaneous Output
- Triple-Base ISO: 800, 3200, 12,800
- Cinema Raw Light LT, HEVC, AVC Codecs
- 16+ Stops of Total Dynamic Range
- Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II
- Built-In NDs up to 10 stops
- 1 x BNC Timecode
- 2 x Mini-XLR Audio In
- 2 x SD Card Slots
- $5500
