An interview from the 2025 NAB Show in Las Vegas with Ryan Snyder at the Canon Booth.

Creators looking to capture a rich cine look while accessing versatile imaging tools can now turn to Canon's RF-mount EOS C400 6K Full-Frame Digital Cinema Camera. Based around a new 6K full-frame, back-illuminated CMOS sensor, the C400 features three ISO bases of 800, 3200, and 12,800, covering a truly wide range of light levels. This digital cinema camera blends high-resolution imagery with both cine-style and broadcast features like an optional Cooke/i PL mount, return video, and both Super35 and Super16 modes with solo shooter-friendly functions such as Dual-Pixel CMOS AF II, internal ND filters, and a compact, lightweight form.

Canon has placed its new 6K CMOS sensor at the heart of the C400 camera, enabling it to offer exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling. This is all made possible thanks to the improved light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor. The same 6K CMOS sensor also provides the choice of a trio of ISO speeds: 800, 3200, and 12,800, so you can capture both the brilliance of settings like Times Square or a full-sun landscape and the nuances of available light scenes like an interior location or a nighttime city skyline.

For those moments or whole shoots where you're not assisted by a focus puller, the C400 offers Canon's dual-pixel autofocus function, which has been improved by the wider area of the back-illuminated CMOS sensor, which is available for autofocus. Intelligent tracking lets you follow the eyes, face, head, and body areas of a subject with increased accuracy. For nature documentary shooters, the C400 provides the ability to detect the eyes, face, or body of select animals without being affected by their size or facial orientation.

Offering exceptional 6K30 full-frame capture in a compact form, the Canon EOS C80 6K Full-Frame Cinema Camera melds the EOS C400's CMOS sensor with a lightweight design similar to the EOS C70. Ideal for fast-paced capture and solo operators, this digital camera features triple ISO bases of 800, 3200, and 12,800 in log/raw, upgraded Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus, and simultaneous 12G-SDI and HDMI video output. The EOS C80's RF mount provides compatibility with fast, reliable Canon RF lenses, and a motorized ND filter wheel enables on-the-fly exposure tweaking.

The 6K full-frame CMOS sensor at the heart of the C80 camera enables it to offer exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling. All this is possible thanks to the improved light capture technology of the back-illuminated, stacked CMOS sensor.
