Canon EOS 80D
Canon EOS 80D is well-suited for serious photographers looking for a feature-rich yet affordable camera priced below the top-of-the-line EOS 1DX Mark II.
It sports a 24 MP CMOS sensor that produces detailed photos. Fast moving objects are captured through the speedy autofocusing, which uses a 45-point cross-type viewfinder and Dual Pixel CMOS Autofocus technology. Video is recorded in full-HD at a rate of 60 fps. The 3-inch touchscreen is helpful in terms of zooming. Wifi connectivity makes photo and video sharing straightforward.
The new EF-S 18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens can be purchased separately or as a bundle.
A newer model Canon EOS 90D was released in August 2019.

Review: the Canon EOS 80D does everything but say cheese
They're right, of course, but focus is pretty damn important too – and that's why Canon's new EOS 80D is one of the best cameras we've used in ages.
Canon's double-digit EOS line has actually been in existence since the launch of the 6.3MP 10D way back in 2003. Since then, the brand's enthusiast-level range has evolved consistently, always offering decent features and a reasonable price-tag.
Canon EOS 80D Review: Great DSLR for Video
The Canon EOS 80D is great for photographers who want to step up from Canon's Rebel line, as well as 70D owners who want to upgrade to a much better AF system. But there are other cameras in this APS-C class that are worth considering, such as the Nikon D7200 ($1,200).- 45 Autofocus points
- Articulated LCD
- Microphone and headphone jacks
- No 4K video
- Single card slot
Canon EOS 80D review: The mid-range master
If you're looking to drop a four-figure wedge of cash of a mid-range DSLR - one that'll last you for a good stretch of time - then Canon is one of the names that so often floats to the surface; the crema on the coffee, if you will.- Continuous autofocus unparalleled at this level
- 100% optical finder (finally)
- fast performance and significant buffer
- decent image quality throughout
- vari-angle touchscreen (with speedy live view
- No 4K video
- no second SD slot
- viewfinder flare from direct light sources
- off-centre 1-point AF not always perfect
- no speed increase over 70D
- finish looks plasticky
cNet Pricing
cNet posted pricing from various sources, but didn't check whether they are quoting pricing of the model reviewed. 42nd Street, was using an older model lens, neither STM or USM.- Good Review
- Bad Pricing
Canon EOS 80D - One Step Up
Canon's new midrange EOS 80D is an attempt at bridging the gap between enthusiast gear and pro gear. It's got several cool features for the average user and a few nice options for more advanced users.- Great image quality
- Solidly built
- Easy to use
- Included lens lets the camera down a little
- Fiddly to pair with smartphone
- Not easily portable
Canon EOS 80D ! Just Awosome ...
Moving images aren't entirely negated, of course, with the camera capable of handing Full HD 1080p capture, including both a microphone and headphones sockets for the videographers out there. It's only the lack of 4K capture which sees some competitors, Panasonic GH4 included, offer more.
Great camera, better-than-expected lens
If I was given the choice, I would buy this product in a heartbeat. I'm not a big 4K Person, so 4K doesn't bother me. I would have, though, liked to have the choice of ALL-I 1080p at 60fps for better mastering and color rendering in post-production.- a) This camera is FAR more solidly built than I had expected I initially thought it would be a simple "body upgrade" from a Canon Rebel T2i
- but the build quality of the camera
- along with the substantial weathersealing that this camera has
- makes it a more balanced camera when dealing with...
- a) My 24-70 doesn't always play nice with this camera
- Some lenses may need calibration via AFMA (Autofocus Micro Adjustment) in order to do their best on this camera
- That being said, I really have to pixel peep to make this condition happen, and most of it is because I don't hold the lens ideally...
Canon EOS 80D review: A solid upgrade but not much more
Update: You might have expected the price of a camera launched in 2016 to have fallen by now, but the Canon 80D is about the same as it was when it first appeared. You can get hold of one, body only for just shy of a grand and in kit form from around £1,300 with an 18-135mm zoom lens.- Competent all-rounder
- Excellent autofocus in video capture
- Sometimes overexposes high-contrast scenes in JPEG mode
- No 4K video capture
- Still image autofocus not the most reliable
Excellent upgrade from its predecessor
Continuing the excellent features in its predecessor, the 70d, the Canon 80D just feels at home in my hand. An additional sensor sensitivity is good for low light AF shooting, allowing me to also use a 1.4x extender with my 100-400 f/4-5.6 lens (centre focus point will AF @ f8).- Easy to use
- Build quality
- Battery life
