canon 80d lcd screen replacement made in china

I have only ever taken a tempered glass protector off a phone screen, not a camera LCD, but it was pretty easy - just slip a thin blade carefully under the protector and lift slightly and it should start peeling off.

The one I did was not "glued" to the screen - it seems to have a fairly low tack "adhesive" like a Post-It note. It came off without leaving any mark or residue on the screen. A quick buff, cleaned with alcohol, and the screen was ready for the new glass protector.

My various Canon EOS DSLR bodies see a lot of use under various conditions, mostly sports, but last week was the first time I was really glad I always put a tempered glass protector on the rear LCD of new bodies as soon as I get them. My daughter had a day off from school and we decided to take advantage of the nice Fall weather and go hunting for geodes in a stream near Keokuk Iowa. I brought my 5DS R along and near the end of the day, a piece of a geode I had just picked up fell off taking the worst possible path and it bounced off the back of the display screen. It cracked the protector but the display underneath was pristine and today I replaced the protector.

I put them on primarily so I could use whatever was handy in the field to wipe moisture/debris off the screen which is also the primary reason all of my smaller lenses have front mount clear "filters" which are of high quality but are still "consumable/disposable" from my point of view compared to the front lens element.

The EOS 80D is an update of the 70D, building on the prior model"s foundation with numerous improvements. Thus, the 80D feels, operates and looks nearly the same as the 70D. The significant updates lie beneath the skin: a new 24.2MP Dual Pixel CMOS, tweaked Movie Servo, AI servo in LiveView, all-cross 45-point AF and 100% coverage optical viewfinder.

The 80D, targeted at photo and video hobbyists, packs cutting edge technology and features into a compact body. Build quality is superb: polycarbonate body shell, matte black paint, magnesium alloy undercarriage and weather seals on switches and ports. At 22.9 oz. (650 g) it"s slightly lighter than the 70D (23.7 oz) and 6D (23.8 oz.). A deep finger groove and rubber leatherette make for a secure grip.

The articulating LCD is ideal for video and ground level macro. If you"re a tripod shooter and normally use an L-plate, be aware the vertical plate blocks LCD movement. Stick with a body plate if you plan to use swivel and tilt features.

The transmissive LCD display, transparent LCD over the focusing screen, displays icons, AF and metering patterns, aspect ratios (3:2, 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1), grid and plain matte screens and an electronic level. When an aspect ratio other than 3:2 is selected, black borders are superimposed in the viewfinder. Crop lines are merely a guide for composition since the RAW file is still full frame and may be cropped anyway you choose during post production. I use the 16:9 setting to aid composition when shooting video thumbnails.

If the battery is removed, the viewfinder shows an image but is dim. The LCD overlay must be powered for full viewfinder brightness. Canon doesn"t call this an hybrid optical-LCD viewfinder but it is heading that direction.

The 80D has AF modes galore: single-point AF (manual selection of individual points), zone AF (manual selection of zone), large zone AF (manual selection of zone) and 45-point automatic selection AF. What"s missing? Single-point AF with reduced size (spot focus) featured on the 7D and 6D MK II.

I normally manually select an AF point or zone where I want to focus. Forty-five point auto select tends to lock on the nearest and/or brightest object. Cameras aren"t smart enough to know if you want a tree, rock or cloud in focus. However, if a person enters the frame, the 80D is more human aware and usually locks on the humanoid form, apparently recognizing human skin tone. It"s not as refined as facial recognition servo in video/Live View but is like a dumbed down version of the 7D MK II"s iTR AF. I primarily shoot nature and music videos so 80D AF is ideal for my use. If you mainly shoot portraits and want face or eyeball priority AF, move along. Otherwise, there are few things 45-point AF can"t lock focus on.

I was surprised to find another new AF flavor: AI Servo in LiveView. Tap the subject on the touchscreen, half-press the shutter button and the 80D tracks the subject across the screen. This mode drains power faster than normal AI servo but it"s handy for low level shooting of critters and rugrats.

Like the 70D, the 80D allows AF Microadjustment (AFMA): individual lenses may be calibrated for optimal sharpness. Zoom lenses may have two calibrations: one for the wide end of the range and another for the long side. For example, the kit lens, an EF-s 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS USM, needed +6 at 18mm and +4 at 135mm to be critically sharp. Oddly, my old EF 70-200 4L IS USM is perfect at AFMA default (0). Settings are stored in camera memory and used each time the lens focuses with the 45-point array. It takes me thirty minutes to calibrate a lens (target shooting and viewing at pixel level), so it"s a good idea to write down the settings in case Custom Functions get reset.

RAW images converted in DPP showed pleasing detail, color rendition and noise control. However, I didn"t notice significant image improvement over the 70D until I pulled the shadow slider in DPP and saw shadow noise reduction at both low and high ISO: shadows may be brightened at least a stop more than the 70D. The blue channel also has better noise control than the 70D, so cleaner skies! The 80D is the first EOS in years with a significant gain in dynamic range.

Beretania Street at 7:00AM | EOS 80D/EF-s 18-135 3.5-5.6 IS USM | 18mm, F3.5, 1/400 sec, ISO 100 | Exposed for the trees in the lower right and let shadows go black. I lifted shadows two stops in DPP and they still look clean and detailed.

The AutoISO feature sets ISO according to changing lighting conditions, maintaining a reasonable shutter speed for hand held photography. The 80D sports the latest and greatest AutoISO iteration: works in manual (M) mode and is programmable. In M mode, set desired shutter speed/F-stop and ISO scales up and down with changing light, maintaining proper exposure. Thus, M mode is transformed into a semi-automatic mode. Exposure compensation (EC) works in M mode with AutoISO and may be set on the Q Screen.

At default, AutoISO is set to favor shutter speeds near the one/focal length ratio. I mainly use AutoISO for off the hip street and candid shooting so the default is too slow for me. Luckily, AutoISO can be tweaked to control minimum shutter speed: in the ISO speed settings menu adjust default shutter speed to faster or slower than the default. I programmed my 80D"s AutoISO 1-stop over default.

The popup deploys at the touch of a button or, in Intelligent Auto Mode, auto erects. It may also serve as master/trigger for wireless slave capable Canon Speedlites. Popup flash range is limited but works fine for close snapshots or fill-in. Flash images were well-exposed using the popup and my 430EX MKII. No problems nailing exposure with bounced flash:

The 80D is mainly a still camera. However, video is a well implemented add-on feature, ideal for video bloggers and self shooting musicians and performance artists. HD video with MOV/ALL-I compression is excellent: less noisy in low light, more accurate color, better rendered detail and more film-like than both the 70D and 6D MKII. MOV/ALL-I compression also handles post production adjustments much better than the low bit rate IPB compression option. Also, the 80D exhibits less moire artifacts than the 70D.

The 80D has three video exposure modes: Full Auto and Manual. Auto mode sets aperture and shutter speed and but allows basic user input, e.g., AF mode, white balance, ISO and exposure compensation. Manual lets you choose the aperture and shutter speed. However, Manual mode also works with Auto ISO, achieving a quasi-auto exposure mode by changing ISO. Exposure compensation also works in Manual mode if Auto ISO is active.

Dual Pixel movie servo AF is improved over the 70D: more accurate tracking, faster and less prone to hunting in low light. Movie servo during video in dimly lit venues like classrooms and churches actually works! Of course you can select and focus on your subject by touching the screen with your finger. Even more impressive, you can drag your finger across the LCD and it smoothly pulls focus from near and far objects!

Auto white balance (WB) is improved over the 70D and nails it most of the time, even in mixed lighting. Like prior EOS, the 80D leans towards the warm side. The one situation Auto WB completely fails are scenes filled with lots of pinks and reds, resulting in a 1000 degree jump to the warm side. However, I normally avoid "surprise" WB and set it manually for my studio shoots.

As a solo YouTube artist, I self-shoot most of my videos. Thus, being able to use the RC-6 Wireless Remote Controllerto start and stop video recording is a huge plus. Yes, I could use the Canon Connect app on my iPhone but I don"t want a cellphone on set (cell signals interfere with audio gear). Plus, the RC-6 is small and easy to use compared to holding a guitar and a big honkin" iPhone: sit in chair with guitar, press remote button, toss RC-6 on floor and rock!

My only gotcha was due to not reading the manual. With the 60D/70D, RC-6 remote use is enabled for both video and stills with the self-timer/remote option on the drive menu. Oddly, still and video remote functions are separated on the 80D, so doing the before mentioned merely enables remote use for stills. A new option, "Remote," in the 80D video menu must be enabled for RC-6 video triggering. Incidentally, in 80D video mode, the immediate release setting on the RC-6 does nothing whereas it takes a picture on the 70D/60D. However, the 2-second delay setting on the RC-6 starts/stops video recording.

There is an HDMI out port, but it"s the delicate mini-HDMI (Type-C) connector and only useful for streaming to a TV or monitor. Plus, use of the HDMI port disables the camera"s LCD, so no touchscreen access. Sadly, there is no clean HDMI output for higher quality recording to an external device: overlays are displayed and can"t be disabled for outboard recording and viewing.

I"m a little disappointed 4K HD wasn"t included on the 80D. However, 1080P is all I need for my YouTube channel: audiences watch on tiny phone and notebook screens. And 4K would force me to upgrade my Mac Mini i7 as it struggles during edits of two camera HD feeds! If you"re planning to take your video productions beyond YouTube and Facebook clips, you already know the 80D isn"t the camera for you.

You can diddle settings, fire shutter, zoom the Canon Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1, upload images and use LiveView on an iPhone/iPad, Droid or computer with the Canon Camera Connect app. It works well on both my iPhone and iPad (didn"t try my Mac). Video may be monitored through Wi-Fi, albeit a wired USB or HDMI connection is smoother and more battery efficient.

Connecting to an iOS device is fiddly the first time but easy once setup. First, enable Wi-Fi in the 80D"s communication menu. The menu asks you to name your camera and automatically generates a password. Once 80D Wi-Fi is enabled, go to settings on your iPad/iPhone and select EOS80D (or whatever you named your camera) as the active Wi-Fi network. Once connected, open the Camera Connect app and input the password. That"s it. Subsequent connections merely require a few screen touches.

The 80D uses the same battery type as the 70D, 5D MKII, 6D, etc., the LP-E6 series. The difference is it came with a slightly stronger variant, the LP-E6N, but is backwards compatible with earlier LP-E6 versions. I don"t have definitive numbers but can say 80D battery life is excellent and an improvement over the 70D. Shooting RAW with the kit lens, I easily get 1400+ images and still have a partial charge left. Of course, this is with Wi-Fi disabled, no live view and only minor chimping. As for video, I can shoot through an entire Leeward Coast Guitars concert on a single charge, over an hour of HD video clips. My 7D and 70D required a battery change at intermission! My SL1 required two battery changes...

At time of release, there were no dedicated Arca compatible plates for the 80D, although both Kirk and RRS are planning to build one. Incidentally, the RRS 70D body plate doesn"t fit the 80D.

The 80D is a nimble and capable camera, and a significant upgrade over the 70D in terms of AF, resolution and control of noise. For a generalist shooter like me, it strikes a near perfect balance of performance, ease of use and portability. It"s also a wonderful camera for video bloggers and YouTubers due to the face priority movie servo and reversible LCD screen. The bottom line is the many small improvements add up to an enjoyable experience and excellent images and videos.

Fall 2019 Update: Canon just released the 80D replacement, the EOS 90D. They appear very similar but the 90D sports significant upgrades in the sensor, AF and video areas. My 90D review.
