Hello folks.
I got an 80D recently to go alongside my 70D.
In most ways the 80D is a better camera, but my copy is unable to playback images as the buffer clears, which is something my 70D does no problem at all.
I've searched and searched and it's not a widely discussed issue, but anybody that has had the problem before usually hasn't been able to resolve it.
I've made a very quick video demonstrating my 70D playing back whilst the buffer clears no problem, and the same high speed card (Sandisk 64Gb Extreme Pro, freshly formatted in both) in the 80D was unable to playback until the full buffer was fully cleared, which is terribly slow and frustrating compared to the older 70D which can always keep up with my fast shooting style.
I've reset the 80D settings, turned off all the extra stuff like noise reduction etc etc, formatted, tried multiple high speed cards (Sandisk Extreme, Extreme Pro, 64Gb, 32Gb) - all of which work fine in the 70D. I only use official Canon batteries. I wonder if it's a bad copy or if the 80D uses a different processor that simply doesn't allow for both playback and writing to the card at once, perhaps due to the difference between 24MP and the 70D's 20MP.
Please see the video below.
Any advice greatly welcomed!
