Used my new 80D for the 1st time yesterday at an airshow with the 100-400 F5.6L MKII.
Using 'Zone AF' (the middle 9 AF points), on I'd guess 25% of shots, when I pressed the shutter button to achieve focus & then take the shot, the shutter appeared to hesitate for a moment before the picture was taken.
At first I thought it was just that I'd pressed the shutter button right down & the camera was focusing before releasing the shutter. When I slowly focused with a half-press of the shutter button and then pressed the shutter down fully it worked fine. Testing again at home I can't recreate the problem.
However I have a niggling doubt that this could be an issue with the shutter button - I had a similar problem once with an old EOS 40D which had this problem intermittently.
I'll admit the above sounds like there probably isn't an issue, but should I send it back for checking/replacement? Is it really likely that a new camera body would have a 'sticking' shutter button?
