Review - Canon EOS 80D

[Canon Rumors]

Bryan at The-Digital-Picture has completed his review of the brand new Canon EOS 80D DSLR camera body. It’s definitely a camera that is an evolutionary upgrade over the 70D, and there may just be enough inside it to make it a worthwhile upgrade from the 70D. The EOS 80D could also be a great option for first time DSLR buyers.</p>

<blockquote><p>The 10th model in the line, the 80D has history that dates back to the 3.25 mp D30 (yes, “D30” – the 30D came years later). Over these many years, Canon has continuously refined their design and added in a huge array of technological advancements. The result is a feature-packed, great-performing camera with a wide range of usefulness and a price tag that isn’t bad.</p>
<p>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, the Canon EOS 80D is very worthy of consideration. <a href="http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Canon-EOS-80D.aspx" target="_blank">Read the full review</a></p></blockquote>
<p>The Canon EOS 80D is currently in stock at most authorized retailers.</p>

Damn . . . I feel GAS rising.

Must . . . sit . . . tight . . .

Must . . . resist . . .

-1: I'll stick with my "obsolete" 70D and wait for Canon to offer a comparable sensor and autofocus improvement to the 6D (2017, maybe?).

 

[Adelino]

I think the 80D sounds really great. Has everything I want and more, other than a FF sensor. I am REALLY hoping 6DII is a FF version of the 80D. It will be my first FF

 

[chrysoberyl]

I've only used it a little, but the 80D is sweet! I love the resolution, and my other body is a 6D. A 6D with a scaled-up 80D sensor and other 80D enhancements would be superlative!

Must . . . resist . . .

Can´t resist will get my 80D this Morning - but will be used by my Wife mostly 8) .

Maybe 5D mark IV will the camera that I might add to my bag if it gets similar sensor improvements to 80D plus good 4K capabilities. Even though I am a macro photographer going to a FF camera is going to be hard but I wouldn't mind doing it just for the improvement in IQ.

 

[ironfreak]

Yes. full frame version of 80D will be 6D Mark II. Hoping it comes before 5D Mark IV.

 

[Plainsman]

...still comes with an AAF I assume??

I've been thinking of a second camera to my 5D MK III to use for product photography and as a backup. The 80D caught my eye, as did the 70D. Right now, the price is pretty high, and I could not bring myself to get a 70D after I tried one in our local camera store. So far, my 5D MK III is pretty good for what I do, so I'll check out the 80D. A 17-55 lens is a very good match.

Thank you all for the above info and links.
Looks like the start of a new series of DSLR-cameras with better Image Quality (i.e. sensors) than canon has had lately.
.....Or at least I hope so! (-:
