Come on guys, he never said this is a what is a better value video. Of course the C400 is going to win overall as it's a much more expensive camera. The comparison in the first place is a point to the Pyxis as it can be in the same conversation as the C400.

Is there a chance the C80 ever gets external raw recording? Would be nice to not record to SDs.

I ordered the 5 piece set a couple months ago. Still waiting.

Hey Dom, can the monitor connect via any standard usb cable, or is it a custom pinout cable like DJI and RED do for no godd**m reason?

Nice stuff! What lens/camera was shooting Dom for the outdoor PTC?

there okay i guess but the flair is too cartoonie. it should be thinner, not so thick and the same, more translucent with a taper towards the edges.

Having suffered through the C-100 and C-300, no thanks.

can u turn the dzo vespids into anamorphic using the laowa adapters?

Do you feel that the DR is less than the VV? Cine-d's test have me looking for some real world footage of this.

crazy that a video about pro cine cameras is literally focused only on the host, leaving the gear blurred LOL. f/stop! Also, detail shots on the equipment, not the host. Gear review 101.

I would have to say the Burano is in a league of its own. Granted the C400 is spec-ed nice, there’s a lot of functionality in the Burano that the C400 can’t come close to.

did you manage to put a polarizer in front of the VND? Curious if there is cross polarization issues...

Wish the upcoming GFX Eterna will support the ZEISS eXtended Data🤞🏻

I was recommended this camera the other day would this be ideal for using it to vlog as well or better for more production best content?

C80 = weddings, events, lower budgets C400 = mid level working pro, corporate, broadcast Of course, either can be used for any of the jobs, but if you get into who the typical buyers are and what their jobs pay, those are the Canon marketing aim, C400, other the stupid decision for the port inputs/outputs, necessitating external solutions, the C400 looks like a winner. C80 is not even in contention due to the lack of CFB card option, owning my FX6 has made me hate SDXC cards, they suck, they're slow, unreliable, fragile in comparison to CFA or CFB cards. I have C200 x 2, C300 MKII and an FX6. If I was buying a new Canon, it would be the C400. I wish I could but most of our clients are very locked into the Sony workflow, look, etc. Canon waited far too long to come out with new cameras and ceded a huge portion of the freelancer/corporate/agency mid-level market to Sony. C400 is a good first step to claw back some of the market but they need time and good marketing to get some of the market share back, I look forward to the day when clients begin asking for Canon again, they haven't for years, it's been all Sony, all of the time for those clients who care about which camera I use. I prefer Canon but I'm making money shooting Sony while my Canons are used far less often.

The main problem with the Canon line is that all the footage that comes out of them looks like looks like video not cinema ...

Just preordered the C80. C80 at that price and with all the run and gunning I do felt like it was the better option for me

Excellent video. Very helpful. Thanks!

How this channel only has 5k subs is beyond me

Answer: put lead inside the coating, and don't tell anyone lol

Make the most out if the real estate. Anamorphic adapter for open gate. The threads on photo medium format lenses are small enough to accommodate. Sirui makes one that does 85mm. Plenty of choices in brands for the sizes on down. Kipon makes a speedbooster from G to 645 and also X, but that shifts the color more than an Anamorphic adapter. Fun to see a video where someone does both.

6:20 - Camera should not spring back when properly balanced, it should stay exactly where it is. You are clearly adjusting wrong nobs, those on the side are for drag not counterbalance. The reason professional tripods can costs 10 000 USD and more is because they don't introduce any unwanted movement, which will generally ruin the shot. It does not matter if 200 USD tripod sucks a lot or 1000 USD just a little shot is ruined either way. And those shots can be either unrepeatable (live production) or expensive (movies). As your review failed to show me the most important part of the tripod working properly I will assume it doesn't

FINALLY a GOOD ND quick swap system for mirrorless cameras and small cinema cameras. No more big filter holders or poor quality filters from brands like freewill. Thank you Nisi!!!

C400 for me

Perfect encapsulation of the two cameras… my dream set up is the C400/C80 A&B cameras, with the new RF 24-105 & 70-200 Z lenses. I just need to sell my house first then will be placing an order! No, seriously…

Damn no image comparison?!

I'm glad Canon put out such a competative camera I'm looking forward to seeing some more c400/c80 footage in the real world! (also on the Burano VS C400 coversation, it's a real shame Sony dropped the ball so hard, but honestly I feel like a used c500 MKII might still be a better purchase than a Burano right now... I just picked one up kitted out for 5K so I might be a bit biased, but that Burano RS & IR polution really bug me.)

7:35 Sony FX9 is being completely ignored, not to mention FX9II is on its way. Here is the correct comparison: C80 sits between FX3 and FX6, whereas C400 sits between FX6 and FX9.

Hello, the C80 and C70 are compatible with the Canon PL-RF and the hard mount add on it just work like the eos R 0,71x. And the proof is that there are commercial photos arround with the adapter on the c80. It is excatly the same system that secure the C400 RF mount

Great video! I don’t shoot canon, but this generation of releases has me interested. I think your point about the c400 vs burano was very salient. I do feel like the price comparison highlights the fact that the burano is terrible value more than anything else.

Great points made about why the c400 is a compelling upgrade for several reasons. I work with the c70 and the lut support in only to bake it in or with an external monitor. Thank you for the info.

Great video. Love this channel. Keep 'em coming!

Marginal Image Quality Difference: While the C400’s 6K 60fps capabilities might technically outperform the C80’s 6K 30fps, the practical difference in most scenarios (especially for viewers) is negligible. Unless you’re working in highly demanding professional environments where every frame counts (e.g., high-end cinema), the human eye often can’t distinguish between 30fps and 60fps in certain contexts, especially when viewed on standard platforms like KZbin or social media. 2. Cost vs. Performance Ratio: The $2,500 price difference between the C400 and C80 is significant, especially when considering diminishing returns. You’re essentially paying more for features that may not provide noticeable advantages in everyday use. This makes the C80 a much better value for budget-conscious creators. 3. Compactness and Practicality: The C80’s smaller size and inconspicuous design are big advantages, particularly for filming in tight spaces or low-profile environments. This can be crucial for creators who prioritize mobility and ease of use over sheer power. 4. Comparable Alternatives: Nikon’s Z6 III at $2,500 provides 6K 60fps at a far more accessible price point, proving that high-end features don’t always require a hefty price tag. This further underscores that the C400’s price point may be inflated. 5. Bigger Isn’t Always Better: The era of “bigger is better” is outdated for many creators, especially with advancements in sensor technology and camera processing. Compact, high-quality tools like the C80 demonstrate that smaller devices can meet professional needs while offering greater flexibility.

Does this work with lens hoods? Demanding photographers use lens hoods.

Big fan of this channel and your commentary. I'm Canon all day. I shoot C400 and C70. So I know I have my bias and from all the vids I've watched here I get the feeling you guys are fans of Canon as well. Other cameras too of course. But you are logical and fair. The C400 is crazy good. Versatile as all get out. Rigged out mine is a chuncker. About 14.5 lbs. My C70 is now stripped down far gimbal or B Cam. It took Canon a minute to get here and I know they lost many shooters. But the ones that waited were rewarded? That's how I feel. Good work here!!

Looks good but why would anyone want to do this? Why not just get takumars?

I do indeed dig this channel. Thoughtful reviews and ruminations on cam v. cam, such as the C400 - Pyxis. All appreciated. Very nice. This is, too. Thanks!

I think I'm gonna order this. I own a 4x4 NISI IRND filter set for matte box use, but for gimbal use with DZOFilim Vespids or Blazar Remus on Komodo OG on RS4 Pro it's way more convenient to use screw on filters. I even already have Nisi 77mm screw on IRNDs but for some weird reason the only strengths available in that form factor are 3/6/10 stops which is quite limiting in dialing the exact Tstop on the lens. These finally are available in 1/2/3/4/6/10 stops.

Been putting mine through its paces in the healthcare/corporate setting, this thing hasn’t disappointed. Shooting in low light the triple base iso has really helped in certain situations

Thank you, Dom and the Northwest team!

Thanks for the review. Is it also convenient to use these filters with Arles? And they don't darken the corners with arles?

I am really looking the film grain on the fight scene 8:18. What plug in is that?

This or nisi athena?

What am I missing here?! Comparing a $3.000,- camera to a $8.000,-? What's the point?!

Would it be possible for us to know which shot was taken with which focal length?

ill get one when they up the 4k fps to 120 minimum.

sample footage looks like cheap h265. thats why lenses is very important if using a cheap camera like this.

If you’re watching this now, and want to buy a KX or have one and don’t like the top screen and wish it was different, set it to “user pages” this turns the screen into all of your most actions as hot buttons and you can make up to three pages of these functions. Eject media, format media, max frame rate toggle, all can be done with a tap of a button.

Awesome. Gracias.

love the hybrid sharpness character of these lenses!!!! cinematic sharpness
