Sporting a new, higher-resolution 24MP sensor, a faster processor and a beefed-up 45-point AF system, the Canon 80D builds upon foundation laid out by the 70D and its excellent Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. The 80D performs very well on multiple fronts, including better dynamic range and detail a lower ISOs, better higher ISO performance and more versatile autofocus. Despite a robust offering on the video side of things, it does lack a few of today"s more popular features. Overall, the Canon 80D is still an excellent multimedia DSLR, but should it earn a spot in your camera bag?

We"ve just added a detailed look at the 80D"s video quality, performance and a general overview its video-related specs and features. Click here to check out our Canon 80D Video Review.

The Canon 70D was a milestone camera for Canon, as it introduced their impressive Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, bringing camcorder-like video autofocus and fast, responsive viewfinder-like AF for stills to the world of DSLRs. While the 70D was a significant technological upgrade over its 60D predecessor, the new 80D successor builds upon the 70D"s foundation with a host of improvements and updates, though perhaps not groundbreaking ones.

Similar to the earlier Canon T6s, the heart of the new 80D is a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS imaging sensor, which is a modest resolution increase over the 20.2MP chip in the 70D. Unlike the T6s, the 80D"s higher-res sensor, not surprisingly, sports Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. Paired with this all-new sensor is a faster DIGIC 6 image processor, up from the DIGIC 5+ of the 70D. The ISO range is relatively unchanged, however the native maximum ISO gets a small boost from 12,800 to 16,000. The maximum expanded ISO remains the same, though, at 25,600. The native ISO range for video mode, however, is set between 100-12,800, though it can be expanded to 25,600, too, should you need the extra boost.

In addition to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the new Canon EOS 80D sports some nice upgrades to traditional through-the-viewfinder autofocusing. First and foremost, the 80D gains a sizable improvement to the number of AF points, going from 19 to a healthy 45 all cross-type AF points. The coverage area of the 80D"s new 45-point array has been expanded both horizontally and vertically to cover more of the frame compared to the earlier 70D.

Additionally, users of long supertelephoto lenses and teleconverters will be please to find 27 total AF points* that are capable of autofocusing down to f/8 -- the 70D did not offer such capabilities, with its focus points functioning only down to f/5.6. For improved low-light focusing, the 80D"s AF system is able to lock on in some pretty dim conditions, down to -3EV now for the center AF point, versus -0.5EV for the 70D. That point is also a dual cross-type point at f/2.8 and f/5.6. (Note that the number of available AF points, cross-type points and dual cross-type points vary depending on the lens being used.)

Speed and performance metrics remains similar to its predecessor, with the same 7fps continuous burst speed as before. It"s not the fastest DSLR on the block, but 7fps is plenty fast for capturing crisp shots of action and sporting events in all but the most demanding of occasions. The 80D does gain the improved 7,560 pixel RGB+IR metering sensor from the T6s, which in addition to its metering functionality, works in conjunction with the AI Servo AF II autofocusing system to provide skin tone and color detection for better facial recognition and subject tracking.

For sports shooters and others who capture fast action under indoor or flickering artificial lighting, the 80D helpfully gains the anti-flicker system that was first introduced on the 7D Mark II. With this system, the camera will be able to detect the fluctuating brightness cycle of artificial lights such as fluorescent lamps, and subtly adjusts the timing of the shutter release in single-shot mode or during a continuous burst of frames to capture images at optimal brightness.

As for the physical build quality and design, the 80D appears, perhaps not surprisingly, nearly identical to its 70D predecessor. Sitting in the middle ground between the larger 7D-series cameras and the smaller, lighter Rebel series, the 80D"s size and weight hits a nice balance between relative compactness and a comfortably-size DSLR for a variety of hand sizes. As before, the 80D provides a sizable handgrip with ergonomic contours and a highly textured rubberized coating for a comfortable, secure grip.

Button and control placement is practically identical, including the characteristic row of setting adjustment buttons placed in front of the top-deck LCD panel for quick and easy access. On the back of the camera, other than a couple of button design changes, the rear controls are in a nearly identical arrangement compared to the 70D.

There are a few other notable tweaks the to external design, the first being on the PASM mode dial. While maintaining the handy locking design, the 80D"s mode dial now adds a second Custom Shooting Mode slot -- now designated with "C1" and "C2" icons -- which allows for added flexibility for quickly recalling your most-used shooting modes and settings. Also, the built-in stereo microphone openings have been helpfully moved to a forward-facing position on either side of lens mount. This seems like a more logical spot than the 70D"s placement at the top-rear of the camera near the hot-shoe, though Canon recommends using an external microphone to avoid or otherwise reduce accidental lens operation and focusing noises from being picked up in your video"s audio track.

The 70D saw improvements to its optical viewfinder, which upped the field of view coverage to around 97% according to our lab testing (Canon"s specs indicated 98% coverage). Now with the 80D, its pentaprism viewfinder performance increases yet again, as Canon"s specs indicate approximately 100% field of view coverage. The viewfinder on the 80D also features the same 0.95x magnification and 22mm eyepoint as before.

As with the earlier 70D, the 80D features a three-inch touchscreen LCD display with a convenient Vari-Angle articulated design, which is great for video recording as well as shooting in awkward positions and angles. The TFT LCD panel itself features 1.04-million dots of resolution, which is the same as the 70D, and includes 7-step adjustable brightness control and a smudge-resistant coating.

The 80D outfitted with the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens and the optional PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter and Canon DM-E1 Directional Stereo Microphone.

Given the introduction of Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology on the 70D, it was clear that this DSLR was designed as more of a hybrid camera for both still images and video than perhaps earlier video-capable EOS cameras. The 80D continues this dual-purpose focus, with a strong emphasis on video performance. And while the 80D might not offer groundbreaking new video features, or even increasingly popular ones such as 4K resolutions, high-speed video modes or clean HDMI output, there are some welcomed improvements on the video front for the 80D.

For starters, thanks to the DIGIC 6 processor, the camera now offers Full HD video capture up to 60p, making it much more versatile for capturing faster action video and other moving subjects. Of course, 30p and 24p options as well as the PAL-specific 25p and 50p framerates are also available for 1080p footage. Furthermore, the 80D now features Canon"s HDR movie and in-camera time-lapse video modes, as well as a variety of real-time movie filters for additional creative options.

The 80D offers a choice of video file formats and quality settings, but quality comes at a price, unfortunately. For the highest quality, videographers can choose the MOV file format, which uses 90Mbps ALL-I intra-frame compression. However, there"s a caveat: only 30p and 24p (29.97 and 23.98 fps, respectively) framerates are available in this mode.

To get 60p footage, you"ll need to use MP4-format video, which uses IPB compression (at approximately 60Mbps for 60p video). Full HD IPB video using the MP4 format is also offered in 30p and 24p framerates, as well as 720/60p. IPB Light compression is also available for both 1080/30p and 720/30p, which can help extend the capacity of your memory card. The in-camera HDR movie mode produces a 1080/30p video using IPB-compressed MP4 video as well.

According to Canon specs, both MOV and MP4 video recording is limited to a maximum of 29 minutes and 59 seconds, at which point video recording stops automatically -- and must be restarted manually. However, video can be continuously recording past 4GB file sizes without interruption prior to the 29:59 hard limit.

One of the more welcome additions for video shooters, in our opinion, is the inclusion of a headphone jack. What was formerly reserved for the higher-end 5D Mark III and 7D Mark II, the 80D"s headphone jack allows for the live monitoring of audio during video capture. Combined with the 3.5mm microphone input jack, the expanded audio capabilities make the 80D a much more capable video rig than its predecessor.

And while we"re on the subject of audio capture, alongside the release of the 80D, Canon is debuting their first Canon-branded external microphone, the DM-E1. This hot-shoe-mounted directional stereo microphone can be tilted up and down from 90 to 120 degrees, includes a shock-mount design and comes with a fuzzy wind screen covering for additional wind filtering. This powered microphone draws its juice from a single "button-type" lithium cell battery.

What would a camera be without a lens? With the new 80D, the camera is offered in a kit configuration with an all-new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens. However, while this may sound like the typical longer-reaching zoom kit lens from years past, there are some unique features with this new model.

For starters, this is the first Canon lens to utilize their new "Nano-USM" focusing motor technology. The Nano-USM technology should allow for the fast focusing speed for still photos that"s characteristic of Canon"s traditional USM or DC motor lenses, but also offers smooth and quiet focusing for video similar to an STM-based lens. It"s the best of both worlds. According to Canon, the driving speed of the focusing lens is up to 4.3x faster at telephoto and 2.5x faster at wide angle than the previous 18-135mm STM lens.

Canon goes a step further in souping-up the video features of the 80D, though this could technically apply to any EOS camera, so long as you use the new 18-135mm Nano-USM lens. Sold as an optional accessory, the new Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 (shown at right) attaches to the base of the new 18-135mm lens, as you can seen in the image above, and offers smooth and quiet adjustable, powered zooming capabilities similar to a camcorder. Furthermore, the PZ-E1 is Wi-Fi-enabled, allowing for remote zoom control of the lens via the Canon Camera Connect smartphone app.

As with the 70D, the new Canon EOS 80D features built-in Wi-Fi connectivity for easy photo and video transfers as well as remote control capabilities, but adds NFC (Near Field Communication), for quick and easy pairing with compatible devices. Using the EOS Remote app for iOS and Android devices, users can pair their smartphones to the 80D and quickly transfer media to their devices for social sharing. Plus, the app allows for remote shooting, with the ability to control shooting modes, exposure adjustments and tap-to-focus.

The 80D does not have a built-in GPS, unlike it"s bigger brother the 7D Mark II, but the 80D is compatible with the GPS Receiver GP-E2 add-on accessory. You can then add location data to your images, and view GPS info in Playback mode.

For power, the 80D uses an upgraded LP-E6N rechargeable lithium ion battery pack like the 7D Mark II. The 80D is, however, still compatible with the older, lower capacity LP-E6 from earlier EOS cameras, including the 70D. According to CIPA ratings, the 80D should last a healthy 960 shots on a full charge with the optical viewfinder, which is up from the 920 shots of the 70D and older LP-E6 battery. According to Canon"s specs, the 80D should last around 1390 shots on a full charge when not using flash. With Live View shooting, as expected, battery life decreases noticeably, but the camera is still CIPA-rated for around 300 shots, up from 210. The camera is compatible with the same external battery grip as the 70D, and with dual LP-E6N batteries, and according to Canon, the 80D should offer up to around 2780 shots without flash and while using the viewfinder, which is rather impressive.

Hitting retail shelves in March 2016, the 80D sells body-only for an estimated retail price of US$1,199 or with the new EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens for US$1,799. The 80D is also sold as a kit with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM for for US$1,349. The new 18-135mm lens is also available for purchase by itself for US$599.99.

The PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter and DM-E1 directional stereo mic are set to go on sale in June 2016, for an MSRP of US$149.99 and US$249.99, respectively.

The 80D is, in general, an evolution to the revolution that was the 70D from 2013. The predecessor brought about the introduction of Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which finally allowed a DSLR to autofocus in live view mode more or less like a mirrorless camera. Live view AF on the 70D was very fast and didn"t hunt or wobble like contrast-detect AF live view focusing systems from other DSLRs. It also greatly improved Canon"s AF performance with HD-DSLR video as well -- much better tracking of moving subjects and nice, cinematic focus transitions that were smooth and wobble-free. It"s no surprise, then, that the 80D successor therefore includes Dual Pixel CMOS AF as well.

With the newer 80D, there"s now a higher-resolution 24MP sensor, upgraded image processor and an improved autofocus system, but the camera, overall, looks and feels very much like its predecessor. It"s a fairly straightforward affair with the new EOS 80D: classic Canon styling and controls that are all familiar territory for seasoned Canon shooters, which in my opinion is fantastic. Placed between the more entry-level Rebel cameras and the more rugged, higher-performance 7D Mark II, the 80D sits in a comfortable middle ground with features and performance aimed at both advanced consumers and enthusiasts, as well as those looking for a solid array of video features and capabilities.

Here we present crops from our laboratory Still Life target comparing 80D image quality to its predecessor, the 70D, as well as against a couple of enthusiast DSLRs, the Nikon D7200 and Pentax K-3 II, and a couple of similarly priced enthusiast mirrorless cameras: the Olympus PEN-F and Sony A6300.

The 80D is the first crop-sensor EOS to offer the company"s new Fine Detail Picture Style, so before we get into our usual camera comparisons, we"ll first compare the default Standard Picture Style to Fine Detail at base ISO, then do our usual comparisons with other cameras using the default Standard Picture Style.

NOTE: These images are from best quality JPEGs straight out of the camera, at default settings including noise reduction and using the camera"s actual base ISO (not extended ISO settings). All cameras in this comparison were shot with our very sharp reference lenses. Clicking any crop will take you to a carrier page where you can click once again to access the full resolution image as delivered straight from the camera.

Print quality and image quality are similar but not identical, because what you see on a print isn"t always the same as what you see on the screen. Our print quality analysis answers the important question: "Just how big can I print my photos at higher ISOs?"

Making the jump from the 20-megapixel 70D to an all-new 24-megapixel APS-C sensor, the new mid-range 80D produces an impressive performance in the print department. Prints from ISO 100 - 400 look virtually identical with lots of fine detail and pleasing colors, which allow for very large prints up to 30 x 40 inches -- or however large you"re willing to push the resolving power of the sensor. Towards the middle ISO sensitivity levels, the 80D still does very well at controlling noise and striking a good balance between NR processing and fine detail. At ISO 3200, the 80D manages a nice 13 x 19 inch print, and even at the top of the ISO scale, this new enthusiast DSLR achieves a usable 4 x 6 at ISO 25,600.

What"s there to say about the 80D? The camera is an excellent, well-built DSLR that produces reasonably sharp, detailed photographs and high quality Full HD video. It"s comfortable to hold with classic Canon DSLR styling, ergonomics and controls, and its versatile AF system is great -- especially thanks to Dual Pixel CMOS AF. The 80D feels like a tried-and-true Canon DSLR -- nothing over the top, ground-breaking or revolutionary, just what it"s meant to be. It"s a straightforward camera that works well, performs well, and captures pleasing images. And for that, it gets our applause.

But, the devil is in the details, so let"s begin with the 80D"s image quality. Overall, the 80D offers solid performance in the image quality department on nearly all fronts at both low and higher ISOs. The new 24-megapixel APS-C sensor now puts the 80D more in-line with a number of major competing APS-C cameras, and results in excellent, highly detailed images. Despite the increase in resolution, the 80D"s new sensor also shows modest improvements with a higher maximum native ISO over the 70D, lower shadow noise, and improved RAW high ISO performance, but it still lags somewhat behind the best modern competitors, though.

how to turn on lcd screen on canon 80d pricelist

Like the 70D, the 80D is feature-packed, including great image quality with high resolution, a very capable AF system, a large and information-filled viewfinder,

a fast/responsive shutter combined with a very nice frame rate, a great LCD and compatibility with an incredible range of lenses, flashes and other accessories.

And if video is on your bucket list, this camera will give you incredible 1080p high def video quality along with unprecedented Movie Servo AF performance.

While the 80D is not a complete overhaul, such is not needed as the 70D was already a well-rounded, great-performing model in a long-standing series of cameras.

Still, I view the 80D"s new AF system, upgraded sensor, Wi-Fi/NFC, Anti-Flicker mode and additional improvements as very worthy of a new model designation.

This means that all of Canon"s EF-S, EF, TS-E and MP-E series lenses are compatible, but the outer portion of the image circle projected by full frame compatible lenses (EF, TS-E and MP-E) is not utilized.

It also means that the selected focal length will frame a scene similar to a 1.6x longer focal length mounted on a full frame sensor camera (this includes when using APS-C-only lenses such as the EF-S series).

Quickly discernable from the above chart is that the 80D has received a sensor upgrade from the 70D, with 24.2 megapixel resolution now equivalent to Canon"s previous highest megapixel APS-C camera, the Rebel T6i/T6s.

Interesting is that Canon"s only higher resolution DSLRs, at the time of the 80D introduction, are the ultra-high resolution full frame 5Ds and 5Ds R.

I should mention that the APS-C sensor format, though much smaller than the full frame sensor format, is huge relative to the imaging sensors in mobile phones and point and shoot cameras.

Because the pixel density in camera sensors has been increasing over the years, blur and a loss of pixel-level sharpness are increasingly likely due to camera and subject motion

Unless ... a faster minimum shutter speed is used for handholding (image stabilization also plays an important role) and for photographing fast-moving subjects.

The old 1/(focal length * 1.6) rule to determine one"s shortest shutter speed for handholding an APS-C camera (without the aid of image stabilization) may not be adequate for everyone.

While this formula uses the easy-to-use 1.6 factor that matches the APS-C sensor angle of view difference, the pixel density of the imaging sensor is the real reason the faster speed has been needed.

Another consideration for getting the most from a high resolution camera is the quality of the lens placed in front of it, as increased resolution will magnify any lens aberrations present.

Fortunately, gains continue to be made in RAW image noise reduction and the 80D results are not only as good as the lower resolution 70D, but very slightly improved.

Just as we saw with the Rebel T6i upgrade from the Rebel T5i, while taking on a nice increase in resolution over the 70D, the 80D appears to pay no noise penalty for doing so.

To my eyes, the 80D is the new APS-C EOS class leader, or very close to it, in regards to noise levels, though the differences alone are not likely to generate an urge to upgrade from any of the above-compared models.

The RAW-captured standard results utilize Canon"s Digital Photo Professional Standard Picture Style with a sharpness setting of 1 (very low) and no noise reduction – a very real-world example for me.

I use the Neutral Picture Style in-camera with RAW capture because it applies a lower contrast tone curve to images, providing a better picture of the camera"s available dynamic range on the histogram shown on the LCD.

There is a time to use the Neutral Picture Style in production, but I usually change my RAW images to the Standard PS immediately after importing them and then adjust sharpness to a lower-than-default level.

The next two noise result sets utilize the default Standard Picture Style settings selected in-camera with standard noise reduction also selected, showing RAW vs JPG capture.

These two sets utilize Canon"s default USM sharpness settings that are too strong for my taste (though the increased default sharpness will make softer lenses appear sharp).

Look for the bright borders to the black lines when comparing the noise-reduced images to the "Standard" results – the color blocks should not have halos around them.

On the positive side, this sharpening appears more advantageous at higher ISO settings, with image details remaining sharp while noise is significantly removed.

The MSNR results show the capability of Multi Shot Noise Reduction, also with the default Standard Picture Style and settings selected (JPG capture required).

MSNR is currently available only with JPG output (I would like to see this feature added to Canon"s Digital Photo Pro software for RAW capture processing – perhaps as another HDR preset).

These images were created from the same baseline "Standard" results (no noise reduction, very light sharpening), but the brightness was pushed by 1 and 2 stops during post processing,

The last pair of results were acquired by underexposing and overexposing the original capture by 2 stops and then adjusting the results in Canon DPP by the same amount.

The bright colors become muted in the overexposed capture due to blown color channels being darkened; but otherwise, these results show a benefit of ETTR (Exposing to the Right).

The following image was captured at ISO 10000, the setting required to get a 1/640 sec. shutter speed (marginally adequate for stopping motion) at f/2 with the widest aperture 200mm lens currently available, the

With a moderate amount of noise reduction (DPP 4, 11 luminance, 10 chrominance), this image looks rough when viewed at 100%, but downsized/down-sampled to what you see on your monitor (perhaps 4 x 6" or 102 x 152mm), it looks very clean.

Increasing resolution to 24 megapixels while keeping noise at bay (or even slightly improving performance), the 80D provides the image quality that DSLRs are so desired for.

The following table shows comparative RAW file sizes for a photo of a standard in-studio setup with a moderately-high amount of detail taken with the referenced Canon EOS DSLR body.Model / File Size in MB @ ISO:(MP)100200400800160032006400128002560051200102400204800409600

Canon RAW file sizes increase with: 1. Resolution 2. Bit Depth (14-bit is better/larger) 3. Detail (noise adds detail, so high ISO file sizes increase). Memory and disk are cheap - buy more. :)

Rotate cards to maintain a backup set until, minimally, you are able to get the images safely into your formal backup strategy (that includes off-sight storage).

To test the Canon EOS 80D"s 7 fps drive mode and 25 frame RAW file buffer specs, I configured the camera to use ISO 100, a 1/8000 shutter speed (no waiting for the shutter operation),

the EOS 80D repeatedly captured 23 frames in 3.145 seconds to precisely match the rated drive speed and come within 2 frames of the rated buffer depth.

Camera sounds are recorded using a Tascam DR-07mkII Portable Digital Audio Recorder with record levels set to 50% at -12db gain and positioned 1" behind the rear LCD.

I"ve said it many times, but it is a very important concept: If the photo is not properly focused, the quality of the camera and lens used to take it are of no matter.

Featuring 45 AF points, the 80D"s AF system covers an increased area of the frame (62% of the frame horizontally and 48% vertically in the center), including the commonly-used rule of thirds lines within the coverage area.

All 45 AF points are horizontal and vertical cross-type focusing (sensitive to lines of contrast in both directions) with lenses having an f/5.6 or wider max aperture.

The center AF point acts as a dual cross-type sensitive point when a lens with an f/2.8 or wider aperture is used, becoming sensitive to horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines of contrast for higher focusing precision.

However, the story is different when the subject is in motion and AI Servo subject tracking requires a focus point continuously placed on the subject.

While the 80D does not reach the 7D Mark II"s AF point count, the 80D has a significant AF point count increase over the 70D, going from 19 to 45, and again,

As with the higher end EOS cameras, the EOS 80D"s menu system (Custom Function Menu II) permits configuration of the AF system"s tracking sensitivity, acceleration/deceleration tracking, and AF point auto switching.

The Canon EOS 80D"s AF Area options are Single-point AF (select one AF point), Zone AF (select one of 9 AF area focusing zones comprised of 9 AF points – one of three on left, 3 in center or 3 on right side),

Large Zone AF (select one of 3 large AF area focusing zones – 15 AF points on left, center or right) and Auto AF point selection (all 45 AF points active – closest subject receives priority).

on a white warning label (it had good contrast with the equipment it was adhered to) with the AE system calling for 25 sec. shutter speeds at ISO 100.

This low light AF performance improvement will definitely catch the attention of wedding and concert photographers along with many others shooting in dark venues.

With an infinite number of possible focus circumstances and numerous camera AF parameters available, it is not reasonable to expect to perform an exhaustive set of tests.

On the other hand, predicting the point of perfect focus on a fast-moving subject at the precise moment the shutter opens in AI Servo AF mode is a big challenge for AF technology and

This slightly-cropped image was captured with in AI Servo AF Mode using top-center AF point, High-speed continuous drive mode, 1/1600, f/2.8 and ISO 640.

To that end, I much prefer this AF system over any of the previous **D camera"s AF systems and over any of the current Rebel (***D and ****D) systems.

Groundbreaking with the introduction of this camera"s predecessor, the EOS 70D, was Canon"s innovative Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, allowing sensor-based phase detection AF.

Since the imaging sensor pixels are able to perform both imaging and fast phase-detection focus measurement simultaneously, continuous AI Servo-like AF is available in Movie mode, referred to as "Movie Servo AF".

The Canon EOS 80D is the latest DSLR to arrive with Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology and this particular iteration of Dual Pixel CMOS AF features improved tracking sensitivity, allowing for better AF results in challenging,

Those capturing video in dimly lit venues (typical of wedding receptions) will likely most appreciate the 80D"s improved tracking experienced in Movie Servo AF.

Live View and Movie focusing modes making use of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF include what has become the Canon standard: Face Detection with Tracking, FlexiZone Multi, and FlexiZone Single.

The EOS 80D has inherited the 7D Mark II"s ability to adjust AF speed and tracking sensitivity while using FlexiZone – Single with compatible STM (and now Nano USM) lenses.

Just like the EOS 70D, the 80D"s capacitive touchscreen allows for Touch Focus during both Live View still photography and before/during video recording.

The AF coverage area encompasses a full 80% of the frame (measured horizontally and vertically) with no limit on a "number" of focus points to select from or include in auto AF.

And, AF can function with camera and lens combinations having an f/11 or wider aperture (vs. f/8 with the EOS 80D"s conventional AF) - again, using 80% of the frame.

The 80D records video in .MP4 or .MOV format using the MPEG-4 AVC / H.264 codec, with audio being recorded in Linear PCM (.MOV) or AAC (.MP4) via dual front microphones (producing stereo sound) or the 3.5mm stereo input jack. Sound recording levels can be set to Auto, Manual (64 levels) or Disabled entirely. Wind Filter and Attenuator options can be set in the sound recording menu.

Several features have been added to Canon"s now-current **D camera for the benefit of filmmakers and include HDR, Creative Filter & Time-Lapse Movies.

In HDR Movie Mode, the camera will attempt to reduce highlight clipping with the result of increasing dynamic range when filming in high-contrast environments.

While in Creative Filters mode, movies can be captured with one of five filter types applied – Memory, Dream, Old Movies, Dramatic B&W and Miniature Effect.

The Video Snapshot feature, where short 2, 4 or 8 second videos [called video snapshots] can be organized into an album and played back with optional music, has been carried over from the 70d.

While DSLR filmmakers will likely account for a great number of 80D orders, it is more likely that a great number of photographers who purchase the 80D will subsequently become interested in DSLR filmmaking

Utilizing the 80D"s DIGIC 6 processor is its new 7,560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor, enabling skin tone and color detection that works in conjunction with AF for enhance tracking sensitivity.

Available metering modes are Evaluative (entire scene is analyzed within 63 zones), Partial (6% of viewfinder area at center), Spot (3.8% of viewfinder area at center) and Center-weighted

New is the ability to influence Auto White Balance via Ambience Priority or White Priority settings, further reducing color corrections needed during post processing.

The subject is a white wall and the lights are fluorescent tubes (I had to go all the way to my basement to find these two sets of four 4" fluorescent tube lights).

When the flicker-effected area is fully contained within the frame, the amount of area affected is narrower at faster shutter speeds and wider with longer shutter speeds.

The 1/500 second test showed approximately 2/3 of the frame severely affected at most, with a handful of images with about 50% of the images appearing evenly lit.

The 1/1000 second test showed an even narrower band of the flicker"s effect running through the image (a smaller slit of fast-moving shutter opening being used).

I"m not going to say that these results are perfectly-evenly lit, but ... they are dramatically better than the normal captures and you will not see the less-than-perfectly-even lighting in most

When light flicker is detected outside of the Basic modes and Anti-flicker mode is not enabled, a flashing flicker warning optionally shows in the viewfinder (enabled by default).

Since the viewfinder"s metering system is required for flicker detection, this feature is not available in Live View mode (due to the mirror being locked up).

Benefits of a viewfinder include the stability provided by the third point of contact (two hands and a forehead) and the clear, easy to see composition being captured (even in the brightest sunlight).

That is, unless you learned to frame very slightly too tight, in which case you need to retrain yourself as there is no insurance coverage outside of the 80D-presented viewfinder.

The Canon EOS 80D’s "Intelligent Viewfinder" features an LCD screen that can be optionally configured to show grid lines, light flicker detection and an electronic level.

With it"s always-on (when metering is live), easy-to-see, dedicated, superimposed viewfinder level indicator, the EOS 80D makes avoiding crooked horizons easy.

While the electronic level feature seems minor and insignificant, the small improvement can make a big difference in the quality of your images if pixel-level-destructive image rotation

Electronic viewfinder level indication lines show 0°, 1° or 2+° in either direction and is active only while the meter is live (half shutter release press activates).

The single-axis electronic level is also available on the rear LCD including in Live View (press info until this option displays), but not when face+tracking is selected in the menu (the default).

If you have never used a DSLR camera before, you will learn that Canon"s vast experience and intelligent design concepts have been heavily imparted into this camera.

The Live View/Video selection lever surrounding the Start/Stop button takes is in also-current-standard position (to the right of the viewfinder) as are the AF-ON (for back-button AF capability),

The last **D camera to have this feature was the 50D and the joystick remains a differentiator between this model and the 7D-series (that didn"t exist at that time).

Filling the void somewhat is this camera"s multi-controller, featuring an outer dial encircling an 8-way directional switch with a "Set" button in the center.

Turn the dial to this mode and press the "Q" button to select one of 10 different options for shooting still images: Grainy B/W, Soft focus, Fish-eye, Toy camera, Miniature, Water color and 4 HDR settings.

Turn the mode dial to "SCN" (Special Scene), press "Q" and choose between Food, Kids, Candlelight, Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control, Portrait, Landscape, Close-up and Sports modes.

Those with some basic photography knowledge can use the CA (Creative Auto) mode to make camera settings adjustments using easily-understandable words instead of numbers.

The full set of creative mode options (P, Av, Tv, M and B) are provided for the photographer to take as much control over their exposure settings as desired.

While the 80D provides one more button in front of the top LCD (itself a nice feature) than the 7D Mark II and 5-Series bodies, these buttons all have a single-function vs. the dual-function variety,

The ports on the left side of the camera, clockwise from the top right, are USB (2.0), HDMI, remote control (E3 type), headphone output and microphone input.

As you likely have already determined from the comparison images above, the EOS 80D is somewhat larger than the Rebel series cameras and slightly smaller than the 7D Mark II.

This model is not hard to acclimate to, regardless of what you are using today, and the size of this camera enables it to adequately control even larger lenses.

These specs do not mean that your shutter will fail right after crossing the spec threshold, but are provided to give a very rough estimate of the shutter"s durability.

Case in point: Though the 80D was in a case beside me at the time, I was photographing wood ducks with another camera when a pair of geese began fighting.

I lifted a foot into the air (I was sitting on the ground) to protect my tripod-mounted camera from the incoming birds and the lead goose crashed right into my hiking boot.

The EOS 80D has built-in Wi-Fi and NFC capability, providing easy transfer of images and movies to compatible mobile devices using Canon"s free Camera Connect app.

The camera’s built-in NFC (Near Field Communication) allows quick and simple pairing to a compatible Android device, or devices that support NFC like the

As with all of Canon"s other recent DSLR cameras with a built-in flash, flash settings can be controlled from the menu which includes an extensive range of controls for built in, hot-shoe-mounted and remote flashes.

Simply double-press the camera"s flash button (or single press the flash button with an external Speedlite mounted) for instant access to the Flash Function Setting Screen.

Like the 70D and most of Canon"s other recent DSLR cameras featuring a built-in flash, the 80D includes an Integrated Speedlite Transmitter for optical (not RF) wireless control of multiple off-camera EOS Speedlites.

Using one of 4 available channels, take complete control of up to 2 groups of flashes (A,B) with ratios of up to 8:1 including ±3 stops FEC (Flash Exposure Compensation).

Group C flashes can be triggered when the camera is set to the "All" Firing group, but every flash (regardless of the assigned group) will be triggered at the same exposure level (effectively working as a single group).

It not only saves a significant cost associated with the other Speedlight Transmitter options, but it reduces the size and weight of the camera when using remote flashes.

The integrated Speedlite transmitter feature alone, if needed, will save you the purchase of a device with a significant cost - and the convenience factor of having this feature built-in is huge.

The 70D and 60D shipped with the very popular LP-E6 (sans "N"), but fortunately for those considering an upgrade, the LP-E6 and the new LP-E6N are both forward and backward compatible

The LP-E6N battery form factor is great (you can easily fit several of these small batteries in most pockets) and they still provide a rating of up to 960 shots in the Canon EOS 80D.

My first three monitored full LP-E6N charges provided 1,660, 1,200, 872 and 471 shots with 35%, 52%, 46% and 59% battery life remaining for an estimated 2,553, 2,500, 1,363 and 1,148 total shot capacity.

My camera use was very mixed during this time, but high speed burst drive mode was used more heavily in the first three charges (leading to higher shot counts) and video was most-recorded on the third charge.

This lens, shown mounted on many of the product images on this page, is a very good option, and features a long focal length range and great support for video recording.

Owning a Canon product gives you access to Canon support and the support I have been provided by Canon"s USA division is excellent (sorry, I have no experience with the other Canon divisions).

When I call for support, I get an intelligent person who sincerely wants to help me with whatever my question or problem is (I do give them challenges sometimes).

Important factors missing from this list are the lower cost, smaller size and lighter weight of the Rebel T6i and to some, one or all of those factors are quite important.

You of course must make the decision that is right for you, but there are several items on this list that would get my attention if making this choice.

While "80D" appears a fine name in print, quickly saying the name to someone who is unfamiliar with the model name will likely come across as "A.D.D.", or Attention Deficit Disorder.

Whether you are a first-time DSLR buyer, you are interested in upgrading to a more feature-filled and capable camera, or if you are adding an additional camera to your kit,

While the name can often confused when verbally addressed, the Canon 80D is a camera targeted highly at the semi-professional market of photographers. It’s a step above their Rebel DSLRs but below the 7D Mk II flagship camera in the APS-C realm. However, it has features that lots of the lower end crowd may really like.

To be very honest, there are lots of things about the 80D that make it my favorite that Canon has put out in a while. But on the other hand, there are things about it that make me wonder what the heck they were thinking.

The Canon 80D was tested with the Sigma 35mm f1.4 Art, Sigma 85mm f1.4, Phottix Mitros + and Odin transmitter, and the Canon 18-135mm f3.5-5.6 STM lens.

Looking at the Canon 80D, you can tell that it isn’t one of their higher end DSLRs; but in many ways it reminds me of one of their most legendary cameras: the 40D. Years ago, every wedding photographer pledged themselves to the 40D and the 5D. Then the D700 and the D300 made a splash, and things changed again.

To start out with some of the reasons why this camera reminds me so much of its predecessor, we start at the front. It’s minimal with the exception of the 80D moniker and the lens depression button.

The rest of the front showcases the company’s logo and the lens mount. Unscrew this and what you’ll find are the standard two colored dots that you’ll find on every Canon APS-C sensor camera.

Move to the top of the camera and what you’ll see here are some extra controls. On the left is the mode dial with a middle lock button and on the right side what you’ll find are the typical controls you find on many Canon DSLRs. This includes ISO, drive, focusing type, shutter release, etc.

Move to the back of the camera and what you’ll find are more controls. The Canon 80D was designed mostly with right hand user interfaces in mind. Only the Info and Menu buttons are on the top left. Veteran Canon users will be very familiar with this interface and will enjoy the nice ergonomic dip for your thumb on the back of the camera.

The Canon 80D takes SD cards, and on the grip is a little door that protects it from getting out of the camera. In no situation did I feel that it wasn’t well built enough for semi-professional use.

Overall the Canon 80D doesn’t feel like Canon’s most solid DSLR, but it is indeed very well built. The most important thing to me is that it reminds me of the old 5D Mk II, 40D and the 6D. That style of ergonomics still appeals much more to me than the 7D Mk II, 5D Mk III etc.

Canon’s menu systems become more and more complicated as you move up the food chain; but the 80D’s has just exactly what you need and want with the option of more control from specific, deeper menus. It’s a thing of beauty. On top of that, the touch screen makes navigation very simple.

To be honest, the Canon 80D has the best menu system that I’ve seen in years. There are specifically color coded areas with a few sub-menus that can accomplish most of what you need. In the rare case that you demand more, you can delve deeper into the menus to fully unlock the true capabilities of this camera.

In good lighting situations, the focusing from the Canon 80D is incredible. It’s fast, accurate, and I honestly don’t ever remember it ever missing its focus in practice. This usage goes for both Canon and Sigma lenses.

In contrast, when it comes to low lighting situations you’ll often run into major headaches with both Canon and Sigma lenses alike. Granted, this is a really tough autofocusing situation but Nikon DSLRs would’ve handled this with ease.

Using the center point helped out a bit more; luckily Erica has the patience of a saint when it comes to my delivering portraits of her. Even so the focusing still wasn’t spot on.

Lots of images ended up looking like the others in this section and it was actually quite frustrating until I whipped out my phone, turned on the flashlight and used that as an assist.

For what it’s worth, the infrared focusing assistance lamp didn’t help much here or in any other situation really. In an actual portrait shooting situation, this can be very frustrating–especially for one of those human-brand light stands.

After a while, I needed to just switch to Live View–where the system had a 90% accuracy rating. For the record, that’s in line with everyone else except Fujifilm. The Fujifilm X Pro 2 has never missed a shot in low light while in my hand.

Low light focusing aside, the tacking AF of the Cnaon 80D in Live View mode is second to none. If they wanted to, Canon could probably come into the mirrorless camera game tomorrow and have Sony, Fujifilm, Olympus and Panasonic panicking. Of course, they’ve need more lenses for the EF-M mount and more premium ones at that. But just take a look at that autofocus tracking.

In my tests, every other manufacturer will be able to deliver decent tracking but they won’t be able to keep the accuracy accordingly. Canon has no problems here.

According to standard Sunny 16 tests, the Canon 80D is pretty much spot on. What that means in practice is that the metering will be accurate for landscape shooters, but the camera sensor’s output doesn’t really follow it. As I’ll talk about more in the next section, it’s kind of like chrome film or Kodak Ektar. For some of us, that’s a great thing. However, it’s also a frustrating thing that requires more work on your part vs using sensors from other companies.

The Canon 80D is quite an interesting camera when it comes to image quality. If you like the look of film, you’re going to get it here–specifically I feel the look is like that of Kodak Ektar. You can really tell this in the skin tones and the way it renders certain scenes. But it kind of lacks in SOOC comparison to many more modern APS-C sensors. Additionally, like Ektar, you’re not really supposed to push the files. In my experience, pushing the files by just a stop started causing issues. That’s not to say that the images don’t have a lot of dynamic range to play around with considering that you meter correctly in the first place–but getting rid of the grain is pretty tough to do.

Standard JPEG images from the camera look pretty decent. The color are vibrant and very life-like with some saturation to them. Most people will like them.

Unfortunately, you’re going to start to see more image noise than excepted at ISO 1600. ISO 6400 isn’t much better–but to be fair I’m also talking about when pixel peeping. What that means is that in the end you’re going to need to more noise reduction and detail recovery. So just prepare yourself for that.

This is my edit. Yup, you’ll see a lot of noise when pixel peeping but it was able to recover the colors in the greens, oranges and blues pretty well. Just be ready to nerf the noise or use something like MacPhun’s Noiseless Pro.

The Canon 80D is a pretty great camera in the hands of a skilled photo editor. At the same time, it can be a great camera for the enthusiast that wants to shoot in JPEG with the Live View screen. On top of fantastic ergonomics, the camera also has a lot of features that help make it a great choice for the person looking to get into sports for example. But at the same time, what’s holding it back is how fast the image quality can break apart except when in the hands of a skilled editor.

It features a 24.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor with no optical low pass filter, dual pixel CMOS autofocus, and 7 fps continuous shooting. The camera was aimed at enthusiasts and semi-professional photographers who want to upgrade from the EOS 70D or those looking for an entry into full frame photography.

The Canon 80D is an enthusiast-level DSLR released by Canon in 2016 as a successor to the popular 70D. The 80D improved on autofocus, dynamic range, and resolution. It also introduced a headphone jack.

The Canon 80D features a 24MP APS-C sized sensor paired with a 6th generation DIGIC processor. This camera sensor offers a significant upgrade in dynamic range to the one found in the 70D.

It nears Sony‘s comparable sensors, although it’s still not quite there. In turn, Canon’s processing of skin tones is class-leading. Sony only caught up with that in their most recent cameras.

In the optical viewfinder, you will find 45 autofocus points, which are all cross-type. That means they can focus on both horizontal and vertical contrast lines. In Live View, you get Canon’s excellent Dual Pixel autofocus system. It allows you to touch-for-focus and provides continuous tracking during video recording.

You can adjust your settings withtwo control dials. You can control ISO, as in most Canon DSLRs, with a button and the upper dial. The Canon 80D doesn’t have a joystick; you can move AF points with the arrows.

There is also aflip-out 3″ touchscreen, which is bright and sensitive. It’s very convenient to use, supporting the same gestures like your smartphone.

This camera, although not the most technically advanced in its class, is excellent to use. It isintuitive, responds quickly, and internal processing gives you beautiful image quality.

The 70D shares many of the Canon 80D’s features. It has the same controls and touchscreen. The viewfinder is only slightly smaller, and video features are also comparable.

In the 70D, it gives you a time-lapse intervalometer and focus peaking. It also has automatic video recording restart. These are only a few of its advanced features.

Battery life is increased significantly, although the battery type remains the same. You can shoot up to 1300 photos with one battery, similar to the Canon 1DX MkII.

It’s an older model, but still the flagship of Canon’s cropped-sensor camera line. You get narrower dynamic range and resolution. In exchange, it offers you the best autofocus you can get in this price range for great image quality.

The build quality is also much sturdier, and the camera itself is bigger and heavier. Depending on your preferences, this might be a good or a bad thing.

If you need serious autofocus, forget the 6D. The center focus point is sensitive. It only has nine points, which are centered in the frame, so tracking is not possible.

The Nikon D7500 camera has a very similar AF-system with 51 points, of which 15 are cross-type. Keep in mind that Nikon’s Live View AF is not nearly as capable as Dual Pixel. Burst shooting maxes out at 8 fps.

ISO performance is also much better, giving usable image quality results at up to ISO 12.800. You can expand that to ISO 1.640.000, but you only get a pile of wild grain. It’s a useful marketing feature, though.

You"re looking for the best Canon DSLR camera recommendation.  This post will help you choose Canon"s best DSLR, give you 2 worthwhile alternatives, and tell you the best way to buy it. Here are the 5 best Canon cameras, but I only recommend 4 of them for you. Each gives you a different size and price level.

Whether you"re upgrading from a point and shoot camera or getting your first digital camera, you"ll love the feel of having a "real" camera in your hands. You can"t go wrong by looking at Canon cameras.

Canon is the most experienced digital camera maker, although that doesn"t mean every camera they"ve made is great. In fact, there have been a few that have been quite questionable. Okay, how did I come up with these camera recommendations?

I draw on all my years of shooting Canon DSLRs and combine that with reading technical reviews, pouring over the hours and hours of scientific testing from the many camera review sites. You get the summarized results to help you make a quick decision.

You can get a quick answer to that question and say it"s the newest model or most expensive Canon DSLR on the market. But that kind of thinking will cost you too much. You have more affordable options that will give you the tools to create some great photography.

When this article was first posted the top DSLR for Canon was the Canon 1Ds Mark III. Since then the Canon 5DS, 5DS R, and 90D have been released. That"s the problem with making a blanket statement on the best  DSLR camera. It changes frequently.

The top pick changes each time an upgraded camera is released. Seriously, the technology is so good now, it"s hard to pick a bad camera. The question is what"s the best Canon DSLR for you right now.

The Canon 5D series are great cameras, but the cost so dang much I can"t recommend them to you personally.The Canon Dx series are too big, heavy and expensive for most photographers, and that includes me and you.

An extremely popular alternative to one of the pro bodies is one of the Rebel "t" camera, like the Canon Rebel t3i. They are smaller, more affordable, take great images and still give you the option of a terrific lineup of Canon camera lenses and accessories to have fun with.

The entire line of Canon Rebel "t" cameras has been very popular with consumers for many years. If you"re thinking about a t3i, I"d encourage you to get a t5 instead. The Rebel t5 is $200 less than the t5i and is a better camera than the t3i.

The t5 is faster and lighter than the t3i. If you really want the tilt-swivel LCD screen, then the Rebel t3i is the best Canon dslr camera for you, but you better hurry because they aren"t making them anymore.

This is the camera to get if you want a DSLR, but want to go as small as possible. Canon stirred up excitement in the world of DSLR photography quite a bit when it added the world"s smallest DSLR Canon SL1 to the mix.

It does have a respectable 18 megapixel, APS-C sensor, HD video and the opportunities to get any camera accessories that come along with going with a DSLR format.

Combined with the 18-55 kit lens, you get a Canon DSLR in a relatively small package capable of handling all your basic digital photography wants. The ratings given by consumers on Amazon who have purchased the SL1 are very high:

If you happen to read the reviews on this camera, I promise you"ll get a good chuckle form the comments about the few negative reviews. Definitely worth reading no matter what camera you have an interest in. Enjoy!

One of Canon"s most popular series of DSLR cameras is the "ti" series, starting with the Xti, the extremely popular T3i, the T4i, and T5i cameras. The t5i has the best combination of features and now at great price, due to the arrival of the t6.

You can find thorough and technical reviews of these camera at www.dpreview.com or you can read the reviews of the everyday photographers who have purchased and used the different models in this series of camera.

The Canon T5 and T5i have so much technology at such affordable prices it"s hard to turn down. Over 90% of buyers on Amazon give these Canon DSLRs a 4 or 5 star rating.

The articulating touch LCD screen, the far-superior cross-type of focusing spots, and the phase detection technology make this an incredibly fun camera choice.

If you like the quality that has been associated with using a Canon DSLR, but don"t want the size, there is an alternative I want to tell you about. Mirrorless cameras can put bigger sensors in smaller camera bodies without the bulk of a reflex mirror viewing system.

It has a big 24 megapixel, APS-C sensor, a big 3.2 inch, touch, tilting LCD screen AND an electronic viewfinder. You can use Canon EF-S or EF lenses (w
