Canon EOS C80 REVIEW : full-frame 6k in C70 body!

Awesome video thanks for sharing

I'll never be in the market for this camera, but I'll always be in the market for a new Gordon Laing review!

I was definitely thinking the C400 was a tad too big and packed with extras I wouldn’t need for my use cases. This camera seems perfect.

This is gonna kill the Sony FX6.

Of course the C80 isn’t an updated C70; it’s Cannon. Have a good one boys! I’ll be into my GH7 by the holidays.

The real question: how will this compare against the Red Komodo X whose price got slashed and even lower prices in 2nd hand? Yes one is FF and one is S35 but still...

Looks like the C80 has the thumbstick design from the DSLR + R5/R6 era...the GOOD thumbstick era. Yet the R5 II and R6 II have updated slippery convex trash joysticks. Idk what it says about me that this is what I care about.

Nice review. Not a fan of this sensor compared to the c70’s DGO, but glad canon are sticking with this size and format. A c70mkii will be amazing.

Tell me, did they add to the camera the function of saving and quickly displaying all my user settings, including settings for multiple microphones?

Why the exclamation mark in the title. 6k full frame is nothing special in 2024.

it's certainly a chonky boi😂

This is by far my favorite camera gear review channel. I love what you do Gordon, Thanks!

Never a camera for me, but cool to see! In particular I like the tripple base ISO. V cool ! Looks pretty great at 12,000 dang

Very good review as usual. One ask I would have, is that when you zoom into the color chart to compare noise levels, include the zoom percentage on screen. Because the fact that you're zooming into an image, you're automatically increasing the size of the noise. Including the percentage of zoom would help us determine what we can expect in real world use. Thank you!

Great review as always! Thank you!

Why no vlogging sample? 💪 😂

Really interested in a dynamic range test with the c400 c80 c70 and the new R5ii to see if the picture quality is really that different compare to the mirrorless camera

It is a beautiful object.

DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD THIS IS FOR MY SOUL?!

It would’ve been nice if you could record to an external SSD

The Big Question, Which image looks better? The C80 or the C400?

No CFexpress is a very weird choice. I get that it doesn’t need them from a recording bitrate standpoint, but the workflow benefits are huge when downloading large video files. What an odd decision. Especially when this is basically going head-to-head with the FX6 and the future (obvious) FX6 II.

So no 6K60p in RAW, no 6K with a codec at all (why?), no FF 4K downsampled from 6K in RAW and no CF-Express card at all. In addition a very outdated ND-Filter system (compared to Sony). For me as an FX6 user no reason to take that camera into consideration. What’s even worse. Sony has no reason to perform superb with their FX3/FX6 succesor. At last because it is not a DGO sensor we should not expect any big steps in terms of DR.

To me it feels like they just added some new stuff on to the C70 without really addressing the issues of the C70 and called it a C80. And if this camera was cooking, why would they come out with a C400? I just don't get it.

Mini XLR ports. 😢

DGO sensor ????

I’m quite interested in this camera. I’ve been mulling over the upgrade to a C400 as a big brother to my C70 but this seems to be a great middle ground.

I am curious as to the frame rate options. Can you record 4k full frame at the 60p in 422 10bit? Is this downsampled or is it line skipped?

Thanks! Lookin forward to the the full review!

Nice camera, a bit too big and lack of ibis not ideal for my wedding film making. Do love the canon colours tho.

Thanks Gordon! I have no use for a video camera but I enjoyed the review nevertheless.

would you know what does the USB C terminal do? does it provide power output or allows power input?

Hello and thank you for your content.

Do we lose dynamic range or megapixels when switching to Super 35 for 4K?

What are the drawbacks?

Thank you !

Remote control software?

6k only at 30fps?? Canon will never stop crippling game

I'm impressed by the build quality and features. This camera seems like a durable and versatile option...I am a huge fan of canon camera's its lovely sir

really great review, Gordon. Do you think the R5ii can compete with the C80 in 4k?

Hey Gordon. Huge fan. Over 14 years ago, I watched your review of the Nikon D3000. It later became my first DSLR. I'm now a cinematographer shooting on the Sony FX6. Just wanted to say thank you for starting me on this journey!

The black box C400 has a presence and potential to rig-up whereas the C80 is a travellers complete run and gun kit.

Does it have eye autofocus?

Can It shoot in 1080p 240fps?

Thanks nice review. Does it have face only AF, like the c70 and more importantly does it have it in animal AF mode?

Does 'EF-EOS R 0.71x adapter' work with this camera?

I be still in canon system if they had released this cam instead of c70. Too bad. I'm in sony system now.

How do you deal with it not having cf express type b slots? What sd card do you use?

C70 has more DR and SpeedBooster to keep oout the dirt from your sensor!!!

Does the Sony FX3 or GH7 with XLR adapters better sound via XLR?

Obsessed with your baldness

Those noise tests are insane
