Review - Canon EOS 80D
- Thread starter Canon Rumors
- Start date
I picked this camera up on Fathers Day as a present to myself. Coming from a t4i I am thrilled by the many new features this camera brings. I really love this camera and have already gotten some nice shots despite not having a lot of time to get out shooting. The only thing I am having to get use to is a bit of a silly one. For whatever reason I have primarily used my left eye. When I do so with this camera my nose rubs on the rear wheel which is rough and uncomfortable. I am retraining myself to use my right eye and the problem is solved. 
Great review Dustin.

I would agree that a 6DII would be this same camera but w/ a full frame sensor. However, they'll probably remove the built-in flash and articulating screen, as they did w/ the 70D vs 6D. I'd be happy w/ that though because the 80D does have a lot to offer.

Biking test. Lot of people did big subject moving towards camera. Not the same person or bike which is not possible for others. Justin did the same test with his kid running towards camera. Brian did the test with his kid riding horse. Michael did in his comparison with a6300. It performed like a6300. Few other users on DPR with similar kind of test. What complex test do you think DPR tested? By the way, 80d price is still very stubborn. Looks like long wait to see decent price drop.dilbert said:

If I understand correctly DPR had their camera static, on a tripod, with full 45-pt AF mode on, and just tried to see how the camera tracks the subject without any aid. In the real world people usually use a zone mode and try to move the camera to keep the subject within the zone. From my own tests with the 80D the all points mode is not very reliable, and gets pretty easily distracted by background things if there isn't a large separation in focus distance. On the other hand, with more "real world" tracking use cases it performs well.
And to be fair, even the mighty 1D X II appears to suffer from the same distraction in 61-point mode. I'm not sure if Nikon or Sony cameras are just much better with this. It is a bit baffling to me - the camera should know well that if it had a lock on a foreground subject a moment ago, even if it lost the subject for a moment, it should still be there at roughly the same distance, not suddenly much farther away.

With articulating screen, af at f8 and built-in flash (why not??), it would be a perfect addition to 7DII!

I find it a perfect addition to my 5D's. Now if only we had a full frame with an articulating screen, sigh.

+1(Billion) It's about time Canon gave us top IQ combined with maximum flexibility.
Remote shooting sounds fantastic, but you can't always hold a camera and a phone at the same time, basically you're going to end up mounting the phone to the camera, at which point you're adding a ton of steps and complications to something that could be accomplished as fast as spinning a dial.
Flippy Screens Forever.

+1 +1 (and no video castration like the 6D line-skipping b*S___)
And for the love of everything the swifel Screen please. Its the biggest loss when coming from a 60D. Its robust, usefull far beyond a gimmick and switched around an awesome display protection.

I don't like the xxD cameras mapping of AF pt Selection and Exposure-lock buttons to magnify and unmagnify functions during image review.Adelino said:
I much prefer the 6D's magnification mode button implementation. This magnify mode button works directly from shooting modes and is great for in-field workflow giving me a one-touch focus check from an ergonomically well-placed button without taking my left hand away from the lens. I love the 6D's magnify button so much that I customized my 5D-III's [SET] button to give the same functionality, especially useful when using larger lenses like a 70-200 or 100-400 where taking the supporting left hand away from the lens places a lot of strain on the right wrist.
I'd prefer if in a 6D-II it retains the original magnify button and that the AF point selection button and exposure lock button were used from some other context-specific review functions like perhaps the side-by-side comparison view or rate/protect functions.

Its so True!!
I've been using Canon 5DS R for long time and nothing beat it at quality but 80D since I bought it to be my everyday go camera i've been impressed so much by everything this camera offer!!
In the paper its looks as nothing special but in real life its deffrent story, the auto focus system is amazing and so accurate to the point where i had to sell my 7D II because I found no reason to keep it around.
Picture quility is the best in Crop sensor I've seen so far.
Yes it doesn not offer 4K, but the Full HD in this camera is pleasure to work with and the quality is amazing and not to mention how easy is it to work with focus while shooting video something more important than what is the quility of the video.
Its the best all round camera i've ever used, well done Canon

Glad to hear from some happy 80D owners. I'm working on reviewing the 5Ds R right now so that I can have a decent comparison point come fall when the 5D4 [should] arrives.
