The new 80D, which replaces the 70D launched in July 2013, sits smack in the middle of Canon's SLR line-up, above the 760D and below the 7D Mark II. That puts it in prime enthusiast territory, which means it needs to appeal to people who want to shoot a range of subjects in a variety of conditions.

It's not revolutionary, but the 80D is still a fine DSLR for the right user.

In the 2.5 years between the EOS 70D and its successor, Canon has released seven DSLR cameras: four with APS-C sized sensors and three 'full frame' models. The most recent was the professional EOS-1D X Mark II, which was announced on 2 February.
