Canon EOS C80: Best Value-for-Money Cinema Camera Canon Has Ever Made

[@peterlai1985]

A breath of fresh air of a review that has a short docu segment in it. Not just the average image sample comparison, noise and dynamic range tests which is important too but.

[@MrMegaSet]

Watching this, not once I thought about the camera... Who gives a crap about a camera when you have a story... There are no bad cameras anymore... Good job Johnnie: started with strong emotion - had my attention right away. Well done!

[@CineD]

Thank you for taking the time to watch the mini-doc! Part of conducting those mini-docs is emphasizing "storytelling" over "equipment".

[@eyeballbilly]

The doc is so nice, images clean and vibrant, the subject Tuoyu she's such a joy and so loveable. Johnnie thanks so much for finding these little gems, you're a master of the craft.

[@livestreamsuk6004]

Your image demos with short documentary are in a league of their own. Everyone else B-roll of flowers and walls!!!

[@norfolknonsense7578]

I love these mini docs. Beautiful images, interesting people and story, just everything that makes it interesting to watch.

[@CineD]

Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@BoatZone]

Great work friend like always. I Love the Tuoyu story.

[@2nickstop]

very nice work and seamless documentary test video.

[@13StopsPocketFilms]

"When you have lots of options...you have no options." That is such a powerful line. Thank you for another great video/doc. I've been a fan since the Sony A7S2 days-- still remember the review/doc from that camera review as well too.

[@AfoteyAnnum]

The image quality from this camera is insane. We are so incredibly spoiled as creators nowadays!!!!!

[@PeacefulMoments1844]

Makes it difficult to choose 😂

[@AfoteyAnnum]

@@PeacefulMoments1844 FRFR A good problem to have, I guess LOL

[@BW_Maher]

I'm just here for the mini doc. I always enjoy your intimate portraits of people that I think I'd like to know better. This is one of the best yet. Well done!! The R5's are a better fit for me but this appears to be a solid release from Canon.

[@alb2620]

Well, I didn't expect to find the mini-doc. Turns out it was the best possible way to sell me on this camera. So many other repetitive summaries on YT. Here is something different (and better). Well done!

[@scheffelmedia5331]

Thank you for the informative review and the great pictures! I am very interested in this camera. You briefly mentioned that working with the RAW files in Premiere Pro was problematic. Is it possible to work smoothly here? Also in combination with the SD cards. I work daily in Premiere with ProRes files from SSDs on a Mac and it works very well and quickly.

[@-441-]

Excellent breakdown video my brother. Extremely informative and easily digestible.

[@jessegebryel]

Fantastic mini-documentary and engaging portrait of a young immigrant. Recommend you give it more of an ending and post separately from this camera review. So great!

[@italogiardina8183]

Although you'd be missing out on the higher frame rate for stunning slow motion and internal ND filters along with the robust build of the C400.

[@jeffreyfleming4016]

Wonderful and heartfelt mini documentary, and very nice initial review of Canon’s new cinema camera. Many thanks. 😊👍

[@langdons2848]

Wow, it looks like Canon finally put the cripple hammer away and made something exceptional. Good job.

[@OlimpiuVuia]

Thank You, Johnnie! Your storytelling is just wonderful as usual.

[@SamTaylors]

What wonderful content you share with us - thank you. The mini documentaries are beautifully crafted and are far more engaging than the actual gear reviews (but those are appreciated too).

[@CineD]

As always, thank you Sam! Tuoyu is an engaging person and therefore my job was easy this time :)

[@AndreiDimaReviews]

Nice overall video! Loved the mini documentary!

[@IlyaPodnebesmiy]

Do you consider interpolation from 6k to 4k to be the best solution to increase the density of color information, since information from neighboring pixels is combined into one channel?

[@AllThingsFilm1]

The CineD approach to camera reviews are so helpful and informative because you include mini docs in the video. Which is a great way of seeing the camera in real world situations. I'm surprised more creators don't add some kind of narrative demonstration in their reviews. It's a priceless means of bringing so much more depth to what may otherwise be a stale review that looks like every other review. Great work! CineD FTW!

[@KobusGevelspar]

Very nice work and choice of content 👍

[@PlanetFrosty]

Open Gate for anamorphic would be a fantastic addition. We shoot RED, Canon and Nikon. Sometimes Arri as well.

[@thefilmpoets]

Nice job on that doc!

[@corwingarber]

awesome. beautiful mini doc. one thing immediately noticeable is lack of ibis. micro jitters are present

[@disco4178]

I wonder if Canon will make a viewfinder for their multi-function shoe.

[@bobsteinfinkel]

nice review. Thanks!

[@IlyaPodnebesmiy]

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

[@j.f.7509]

Kudos for the beautiful images in this mini documentary!!

[@CineD]

Thank you. Much a ppreciated!

[@csound55]

Great mini doc and the C80 really shines.

[@johnandrew1680]

CineD..... love you good work .

[@CineD]

Thank you, John. Much appreciated!

[@AnastasTarpanov]

It's ridiculous not to have any full-frame modes over 30fps. Is it possible with an external recorder like Atomos and is it possible to record over USB to an external drive with higher frame rates and codecs? RAW. RAW HQ?

[@dsdddsd4543we]

Incredible offering from Canon.

[@gabrielmachadobsb]

Beautiful doc. What lenses did you use in it?

[@CineD]

Thank you! I used the Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8:

[@Mintyseden]

the DOC is the centrepiece here. Great job, I forgot about the C80

[@CineD]

If you forgot about the camera, then my job is complete 😉

[@filmingyu6623]

The DJI Mic 2 sounds so crisp clear and loud in a good way! What is your audio capture and post-editing workflow?

[@CineD]

Hey. Step 1: If you have access to DaVinci Resolve, then import the audio file to it and apply "voice isolation" to about 50% (This will ensure keeping the voice natural). Step 2: Use the "equalizer" to boost bass (Just a little) and that's it!

[@filmingyu6623]

@@CineD How would you do it with Premiere Pro?

[@greenlightstudios3469]

Awesome, do you have any labtest coming up for this?

[@CineD]

We will. We just need to confirm that we are dealing with the final firmware installed.

[@andrewjones-productions]

The only downside with Johnnie Behiri's sample mini-doc footage is that they are so damned interesting, that one gets so engrossed in the story that you forget to check the image quality in various scenarios of the camera! Johnnie is a master at his craft. There again, the camera must be good as it didn't detract from the storytelling and any camera that can do that consistently in various light and stability modes (tripod, handheld etc) then that camera must be a win. This camera is very tempting even for someone like myself who has invested into the Sony ecosystem.

[@CineD]

Thank you Andrew for taking the time to watch the mini-doc. Appreciated!

[@inaflashnetworkinaflashpro918]

Great video,I use resolve for my video editing

[@daylight5500]

I came, I saw, I enjoyed.

[@hzubovi1]

can it do 4K open gate 120 fps?

[@chrisw443]

I dont understand how im supposed to properly expose an image if theres not a viewfinder on a camera but thats a great piece of kit, and a very wonderful documentary subject.

[@half-cockedproductions1350]

@@chrisw443 use the big screen on the back and the multitude of exposure tools available in the camera.

[@mavs8888]

WHAT A WONDERFUL DOCUMENTARY…. WOW compliment for you and the Lady!! Will the EF-RF 0.71x Mount Adapter (used on the (my) C70) still be usefull? And will the C80 record MP4 (in case needed…) Thank you for an answer…

[@RobRanney]

You could use that adapter, but you'd have to put the C80 in Super35 mode. Since the C80 has a full frame sensor, you could simply get an RF to EF adapter (standard, control ring, or drop-in filter style) and get the true full frame field of view from your EF lenses.

[@mavs8888]

@@RobRanney Thank you! I’ve got Some of those… with and without filters…. Take care!

[@The_Idea_of_Dream_Vision]

How was the film lit ? Natural or The quality is impressive and the colors 🔥

[@CineD]

Natural and lit, depending on the scene.

[@filmingyu6623]

Hi! How did you get the DJI Mic 2 sounding so full, clear and loud audio for your documentary? Mine always sounds quiet and less pronounced.

Did you install the new update?

[@filmingyu6623]

What does that do? and how do you install it?

[@IlyaPodnebesmiy]

By the way, can I use HDMI for external recording to the recorder?

[@CineD]

We assume that a leading company who is specializing in producing external recorders will announce such a possibility soon(ish)

[@RayValdezPhotography]

WHy clog 3 and not c log 2?

[@CineD]

I feel that C-Log 3 is enabling me to be less precise with exposure. As a "one-man band" having the camera for a limited time, next to a very tight self editing/coloring schedule,, it was the right thing to do. Thank you.

[@JamesAvalonPictures]

@@CineD I thought it was the other way around, Clog2 with wider DR allows more room to adjust exposure.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

Does it have a cooling fan? does it overheat? unlimited record time?

[@matt_berg_media]

Yes, it’s based on the c70 which has all those things. No overheating.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

@@matt_berg_media awesome thanks matt.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

Yes no and no. This is a real cinema camera with fans. They are meant to be used all day and all the time.

[@asafblasbergvideographer]

@@RayValdezPhotography ok thanks,

[@IlyaPodnebesmiy]

10:55 video in front of the window, in this place the c70 would have coped better despite the fact that the difference in the dynamic range is minimal. The details outside the window would be visible.

[@CineD]

Unfortunately not

[@ShaneVanLitz]

In testing I did CLOG 2 clips highlights at the same point on the C400 and C70 as well as C500ii. The C70 has slightly cleaner SHADOWS.

[@njrivetelite]

Surprised it doesn't take CF Express B

[@joseangel4428]

Wonderful, wonderful

[@CineD]

Thank you. Much appreciated!

[@frankbregulla564]

if you already go a camera you are happy with, dont need this one. from what i can tell the DGO sensor oft the 70/300 looked better to me

[@Wildridefilms]

They use 3:2 sensors on the C400 and this C80 but still do not offer open gate. Shame.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

they need something for the c500 replacement.

[@SuperPhunThyme100]

$25K Sony Burano can't do open gate either.

[@hawaiifreespeechnews]

Of course Canon had to sabotage the C80 by leaving out a CFExpressB card slot and limiting 6k to 30fps

[@SuperPhunThyme100]

If it had those things, it would be a C400 and would cost more...

[@bluecomposite]

Cool.

[@nelsonbustamante8756]

The first review I will watch would be yours. Showing exactly what the camera can do and not just rambling and spewing words to sell a product.

[@CineD]

Nelson, you are too kind with words!

[@sydneychuka4304]

[@somethingredcinematography9734]

lab test?

[@editor0range]

This voiceover of her crying caught me pretty much off guard. Well it´s a good camera but this short really shows the filmmaker is worth the money not the gear.

[@EIGHTMAG86]

This or a Komodo X. . . .tough choice. . . (its not)

[@JamesAvalonPictures]

It is. But even with the K-X price drop, the C80 is still cheaper and it's Full Frame.

[@samrai7275]

I think there should be no video camera in 2024 cant shoot full frame in no less than 60fps. i still find FX6 is more practical than C400 or C80. I don't like having different frame rate having different resolution, codec and fov. Other than Fullframe, 6K and Triple ISO this camera is cripple hammer.

[@csound55]

C80 shoots oversampled full frame 4K 60p in xfavc.

[@ThunderbirdCreative]

2024 and no cf express b slot? Sd media prevents this camera from future updates with high bit rate raw video, I don't understand this, it kills this camera for me, canon raw light is just not good enough. All those good things ruined using old crappy media, canon needs to stop price gating features, this thing should have an option but studios like mine but I'll pass and go with the blackmagic pyxis.

[@birthright94]

everything is good except color science, when will canon learn how to make blackmagic/arri color science?

[@CineD]

Personally, I love Canon's science. But in the end, it is very much of a personal taste and preference.

[@TheLinesEnd]

Ummm it’s nice but the best value for money cinema cameras have and will remain the pocket cinema cameras until one of these brands releases a legit cinema camera with internal raw and pro-res for under 2k

[@VirginiaThomason-e4r]

MacGyver Rest

[@sammorganmoore]

Did you cover the basics? XLR? ND? HFR? assignable HFR buttons? Pre ROll, 10bit4kcompressed codec? Canon missed the viewfinder? a real shame.

@@sammorganmoore Thank you Sam! Taking an extra note here.

[@sammorganmoore]

Ive not been following the C70 as HDMI only and S35 with no RF s35 zoom to match made it a 'problem child'. Full frame, the 24-105 and 28-80 lenses make this very appealing. I guess the AF is a bit more sticky than my C200. Thats a big deal :)

Back

[@frenchcoupon3391]

If it’s again more than 2k, it simply can’t be suited for broke indie filmmakers. With that money you film a professional short movie with your phone. Dollar for dollar- my C100 beats it in value.

[@polanialmoni6274]

Too sharp,alaising in the hair, harsh highlights. Not impressed.

[@csound55]

Too sharp, aliasing in the hair, harsh highlights.. where? On a 5k display I see none of this. Aliasing can show up on just about any 4k footage if it's played back on a low resolution display.
