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.

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

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

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

- None
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

Canon EOS 80D
Even as professionals were catered to by the launch of the top of the range EOS 1D X Mark II at the beginning of this year, next in line for some upgrade love were prosumers and enthusiasts, as Canon launched the follow-up to the well received EOS 70D (review) , the appropriately named 80D, which...- Excellent autofocus system
- Improved sensor
- Compact sensor
- Wi-Fi and NFC onboard
- Small command wheel
- Expensive
