Canon announces EOS C80, its latest Cinema EOS


 
Canon has launched its latest R-system camera, the EOS C80, an RF mount cinema camera. Building upon the legacy of the EOS R5 C and EOS C70, the EOS C80 blends cutting-edge technology with a compact and ergonomic design.
 
The 6K full-frame CMOS sensor at the heart of the EOS C80 means it produces exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling. All this is possible thanks to the improved light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor, as seen in the EOS C400 released earlier this year.
 
The EOS C80 integrates Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology with precise and responsive autofocus capabilities. Pin-sharp face, eye, and head tracking, as well as new body and animal tracking, ensures the subject remains in focus even in complex shots.
 
Key specifications:
  • Full frame 6K back-illuminated stacked sensor (BSI)
  • SDI & ethernet terminals
  • RF mount
  • Supports lens metadata for corrections
  • Two card slots SD UHS-II, approx 3x faster
  • New Canon MP4 file formats
  • Full sensor coverage for AF
  • Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, includes evolved EOS iTR AF X
  • Subject detection – People and Animals (dogs & cats)
  • EOS VR system compatibility
  • 16-stop dynamic range
  • Triple base ISO (800, 3200, 12800)
  • Panel lock mechanism
  • 1/4 inch port added plus multi-function (MF) shoe
  • XC protocol for remote control
  • 1310g (slightly heavier and bigger than C70)
The EOS C80 should be available from November 2024 with a recommended retail price (RRP) of £5339.00

Canon announces development of flagship EOS R1

Canon Inc. has announced today that it is currently developing the EOS R1, a full-frame mirrorless camera, as the first flagship model for the EOS R system.  Whilst there is no timeline given for launch as yet, Canon has released hints of what's to come in terms of technology. It will use a newly developed processor, called DIGIC Accelerator, alongside the existing DIGIC X found in other R-series cameras plus a newly developed image sensor, which will enable a large volume of data to be processed at high speeds, and which will also deliver advances in autofocus (AF) and other functions as yet unspecified. The Deep learning technology – first found in the current flagship EOS-1D X Mark III DSLR camera – will be embedded in the new EOS R1. Canon also mentions a new AF 'Action Priority' function, which " further recognises subject movement by rapidly analysing the subject's status ". This AI-based programming promises to predict the key activity in a match, there
