well the 70D has it, unless canon has a weird new business startegy of downgrading their cameras lol, yes

his question wasn't silly
the 40D was supposed to have it but they held it back so it could be a 50D sell point, then they removed it from the 60D because they said they wanted to be able to offer it as a 'new' sell point for a future 70D so....

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

I wonder what the MSRP List price will be, it was $1200 on launch of the 70D. Body only.

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

So, asking on a friend's behalf who owns a 60D (300k shots on the sensor), is looking to upgrade and shoots stills only....this is or isn't the path?

1dxii is $800 less than 1dx was- so maybe 80D will come in at $400 USD?

50D - has AFMA
60D - does not have AFMA
70D - has AFMA

So, while I think the 80D will have it, there is some room for doubt since this feature in the xxD line is a perfect example of that 'weird business strategy' that you're lol'ing about...

not really. the line split with the 60D to the 60D+7D whereas before the 50D was it. the 60D moved more down level. ergonomics changed, CF to SD card, and a mydrid of other features made it closer to the rebel series and made room between in and the 7D series.

It seems safe to say that the new 80d will be a good substitute, surpassing the 60D in all aspects. In fact, the 70D does that already.

kind of hard to say. 70D came out in mid-2013?

in todays USD to Yen the $1199 USD 2013 price would be around $975 USD.

Hmm...normally an 80D would be a nice upgrade.

But you mention he only shoots stills. The upgrades in the 70D and now 80D seem to revolve around AF and video.

That's not going to help him much with stills.

Maybe he should also consider the 760D (T6S). If it's the megapixels he wants, that's a nice DSLR and he will save on money and have a lighter and smaller DSLR.

huh?

80D - 100% viewfinder
45 point AF all cross type 27 points f/8.
deeper raw buffer
20mp versus 24mp
possibly ADC based sensor.
timelaps / intervalometer
anti-flicker

Ok but most of those things on that list are thing you don't need for stills. Why does he need 45 crosstype AF points and a deep raw buffer for stills? Why does he need anti-flicker for stills?

And the T6S is 24MP just like the 80D, so that's not a good argument either.

The viewfinder is a good argument, so it depends on how he feels about that.


read the post, he shoots stills....he doesn't need off-the-wall AF tracking

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Spoken with typical cluelessness. The main target buyer for the 80D is the same as that for the previous xxD models – xxxD owners looking to upgrade. In case it's escaped your attention, there are more xxxD owners out there than all MILCs combined, so it's a pretty large target demographic. Secondarily, it's targeted to owners of older xxD models 40/50/60D).

Right. I'm a happy 60D owner and to me the specs look quite promising. I don't need a 7DII (AF and build quality) and I'm still contemplating if I should invest in FF (the price of a good wide-angle and a standard zoom will hurt). In the end I might get a 80D, if it delivers significantly better DR and high ISO performance.

Oliver

+1

else:
1/3 steps in ISO/exposure
Micro adjustments possible in AF
Better overall build quality and weather sealing + better handling with bigger lenses
Dual Pixel AF
etc...

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

well the 70D has it, unless canon has a weird new business startegy of downgrading their cameras lol, yes

50D - has AFMA
60D - does not have AFMA
70D - has AFMA

So, while I think the 80D will have it, there is some room for doubt since this feature in the xxD line is a perfect example of that 'weird business strategy' that you're lol'ing about...

6D is the only "oddball" in Canon's lineup that starts with an even number and still has AFMA, based on the pattern "starts with even no AFMA" then the 80D will not have it

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

My advice was that since the 70D was a pretty good leap (especially dpaf) looking for Canon USA refurb prices coming down would be a great option for her. ($699)

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Looks compelling enough for me to finally retire Ye Olde 40D, my last cropper (yes, Sony fanboys, Canon doesn't force us to buy every xxD release). I hope the Rebel SL2/200D/KissX8 gets most of these upgrades later this year after almost buying the current SL1/100D after staying away from the Rebel-class since 2006; it was that impressive for me considering how much Canon miniaturized it.

I shall note that 50 and 70 are both even numbers.

well, they certainly aren't for video .. so what else does a DSLR shoot nowadays.
45 point af is most certainly a wider spread of AF points.

I assume he meant he doesn't shoot video.

and if so, all of these features are a benefit to a stills only DSLR.

I keep re-reading your post , looking for a <sarcasm> tag...

Please tell me you're not serious when you say cross-type AF points, buffer depth and anti-flicker aren't features for stills shooting!

Unless when you say "stills" you mean the subject is still (i.e. "still life", not moving). In case it's a language barrier thing, most people consider "stills" to mean single images captured with each release of the shutter (as opposed to video). Stills in this sense can be images of fast-moving subjects (e.g. flying birds where AF-tracking, FPS and buffer depth are critical) or completely static subjects (e.g. landscape).
