CANON C80 || So good I bought one!

For my first camera review of the year, I got my hands on the Canon C80, courtesy of Canon Australia. As someone who shoots a lot of run-and-gun documentaries and needs a reliable workhorse camera, I was pretty keen to put this one to the test.

The C80 builds on the hugely popular C70, packing many of the same features as the C400 but in a more compact, versatile body. With a full-frame sensor, internal 6K RAW, triple base ISO, built-in ND filters, and all the connections you need, this camera delivers a lot in a small form factor - making it a solid option for filmmakers and content creators.

In this video, I take the Canon C80 into the field, shooting a bunch of real-world test footage, and using it on several jobs. So, does it live up to the hype? And was it good enough for me to pull the trigger and buy one myself?

🔽 Watch to find out! And let me know in the comments - is the C80 the best compact cinema camera of 2025?
