The Canon EOS C80 is Latest Canon Camera to Become Netflix Approved
Move over Oscars, the biggest award in filmmaking is the prestigious “Netflix Approved” distinction passed down by the execs and technical advisers at the streaming giant. In all seriousness, despite minor arbitrariness in the system, Netflix has been adding more and more cameras to its Netflix-approved list to give filmmakers more options when looking to create content specifically for the company’s 4K Originals.Of course, Netflix will buy other projects shot on whatever. But adding a camera to Netflix’s approved list can often give said camera a boost in sales and—for any owners of the camera—a little bonnet to put into their hats to brag to their friends about.Let’s look at the Canon EOS C80, a powerful full-frame cinema camera that melds the Canon C400’s CMOS sensor (which was also just added to the Netflix approved list) with the lightweight design of the previous EOS C70 to create a compact yet capable cinema camera option.Canon C80 Added to Netflix Approved ListIn some ways, it’s a bit odd that Netflix has an approved camera list at all, rather than just approved recording formats or resolution minimums. However, it is a simple way to help streamline productions and ensure some standards for quality, especially for Netflix’s 4K Originals. Which, again, with the advancements in digital cameras over the past few years, isn’t super necessary as just about all pro and consumer cameras shoot 4K these days. Still, it’s nice to see Netflix approving more cameras that aren’t strictly high-end cinema cameras. The Canon C80 is a good example of a camera that is cinema camera quality but made for more run-and-gun filmmakers on smaller budgets and with fewer resources. It’s a win for indie filmmaking that we’ll take.Should You Consider the Canon C80 for Your Projects?The answer to the above is a big "absolutely" from us. The Canon C80 is a great example of a camera right in that sweet spot between the high-end cinema cameras and the prosumer mirrorless cameras. There are honestly no wrong answers with what cameras to use for your projects these days (if there ever were). But cameras like the Canon C80 with its 6K full-frame CMOS sensor that is able to offer exceptionally low noise, increased sensitivity efficiency, and better 4K imagery via 6K oversampling to record multiple recording formats including up to full-frame 6K30 Canon Cinema RAW Light LT and cropped S35 up to 4K30 in RAW ST and 4K60 in RAW LT, it should be more than enough power for 99% of your film and video projects. The Canon C80 also offers simultaneous 12G-SDI and HDMI video output, and—with the EOS C80’s RF mount—can provide compatibility with fast, reliable Canon RF lenses, and a motorized ND filter wheel enables on-the-fly exposure tweaking.Price and AvailabilityAs we’ve covered the Canon C80 before, there’s a lot to explore before making an investment.
