Its small and lightweight design allows for maximum portability, catering to run-and-gun filmmakers, event professionals, and commercial photographers. With its active cooling system, extended recording times are achievable without overheating issues, making it a reliable tool for demanding shoots.

EOS C80: Mobility Meets Full-Frame Power

For creators who need agility without sacrificing performance, the EOS C80 delivers.

Weighing just 1300g, this ultra-portable full-frame camera is built for mobile filmmaking, whether used on gimbals, drones, or handheld setups. Equipped with an RF mount, the C80 ensures compatibility with Canon’s latest RF lenses, offering superior optical quality and versatile focal ranges.

Filmmakers who specialize in documentaries, travel content, and dynamic action shots will appreciate its compact yet powerful design, enabling fluid movement while maintaining cinema-grade image quality.

EOS C400: Designed for High-End Production
