Canon EOS C80
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I want the C80 now, naturally haha
- I own both camera’s and use both every week professionally. I shoot Clog2 for both and drop the same Phantom Lut onto the clips. Honestly, the footage almost looks identical… even when zooming in.
- But overall usability the C80 is miles better than a mirrorless. Once you have built in NDs and good ergonomics designed around video shooting, you won’t want to use a hybrid again.
- Better form factor for rigging out - if you want to add top light, wireless audio, 5/7” monitor, matte box etc. also, external timecode in, SDI out, 2 x XLR inputs, and as others have mentioned - built-in ND which is a total dealbreaker...
- For the internal ND alone I’d get the C80.
Cons
- RS4 Pro handles my C80 just about fine.
- Made me consider trading in my FX6 for one, or the C80.
- Tbh the c80 is awesome but I’m put off since the dynamic range is worse the c70 and even worse than the FX6. Also the RF lens line is limited, not quite as high quality, and expensive.

More cinema focused functions. For example the built in ND is mega for videowork.

With the C80 out I'd pick that over a C70 (I've used both extensively)... Personally I prefer the C80/C400 over the FX6 as it's newer
