UPDATED: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Here are detailed specs of the camera:
http://digicame-info.com/2016/02/eos-80d-3.html

Looks like serious meh, a camera that should have been made 2 years back to compete with Nikon D7100. Today this camera is serious piece of garbage being dumped by Canon after snuffing drugs.

70D handily beat D7100 in almost every area. You can just buy 70D and save the money if that is all you need.

No 4K video
No Dual Sd Slots
No UHS-II compatibility
No USB 3.x
No Af linked spot metering

I see no reason to upgrade from 70D, I primarily shoot macro and Af upgrades are useless to me.

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Ugh, I loathe the contempt for civil dialogue here. Not to mention the poor spelling

This looks like a fine addition to the XXD line. Like ANY camera body, is it for everyone? No. None will ever be.

LOL! Wut du U meen, biyatch? Luuks fien 2 me! ;D :

Yes, I agree. And I may very well buy an 80D myself! I was very impressed with the 70D. In fact, I might just buy another 70D cheap and then buy the 80D next Black Friday!

Oooh! 8)

Don't get me started on all the 'If it isn't for me then it sucks!' posts.

I got a good chuckle out of Don's "Canon's DOOMED!" post earlier. That pretty much sums it up. And if this "mid-range not trying to be a pro camera but it should be anyway" lame-o new 80D doesn't have... oh, never mind. : :

Fair enough. Even for users asking for more DR, can go with ML and gain some of it without upgrading to 80d. But you assertion of 80d competing with d7100 is not correct. 70d itself proved to be better than d7100 based on lot of parameters. Except dpr where they declared d7100 best crop camera over every other crop camera including 7d2. That being said other than poor live view AF and 1 raw file buffer, there is nothing much to differentiate them (70d and d7100).

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Count me in as another 5D III owner who's interested in adding this 80D to my kit.
Will mainly dedicate it to macro work with my MP-E 65 lens.

When I used a 60D a few years back for 1-4x macro(reversing rings/extension tubes) work it was absolutely fantastic using the swivel screen with live view to get a good angle and idea of the exposure/manual focus. Highly recommend the xxD series for that.

I used to have a 40D for my macro work few years back and know that I like the APS-C sensor for real close macro shots. So the 80D with 24MP should be great.

Overall IQ from Nikon D7x00 is definitely better than equivalent Canon Eosx0D. Also in case of 80D reading the rumoured specs it feels like Canon is purposfully holding it back to protect its 7D markII. In this price range many cameras are doing 4K for two years now and I know a lot of youtubers who got rid of their canon bodies in favour of GH4. Even I wanted 4K as when I am out in field I can shoot videos of animals(amphibians, insects and reptiles) and crop in post if I wasnt able to get closer to subjects.
Another complaint that I have with 60/70/80D is that D-Pad is too low and it isnt too comfortable to change af points. Position of D Pad on Nikons D7x00 feels a lot better. If Canon would have mkved that D-Pad upwards by 1/2" it would be ergonomically better.

Agree with you about overall IQ between D7X00 and D5x00 vs Canon equivalents. I think they are always going to be shade better considering small sensor differences and DR. DPR/Rishi summarised some where about these IQ differences between Nikon and Canon and Sony crop cameras. They are pretty good at studio tests and IQ determination.

Hopefully Canon is going to close DR differences. I do not know much about GH4. But stills you might have a problem with smaller sensor compared to Canon and Nikon crop sensors. I guess Samsung is the one made big breakthrough in terms of proper video quality but they ended up closing shop. I heard Sony video quality from crop sensor is also crap for serious users.

Regarding changing focus points, I use wheel to move side to side and D-pad to move it up and down. I am just very basic rebel user. Upgraded to 70D when Canon did deep discount sale. Grabbed 10-18mm and 55-250 STM lens in similar circumstances. For serious users, D-pad might be a problem

Any idea on HD video shooting feature on 80d. We might also see better video quality from 80D. Frankly best thing Canon does is, these amazing sales on refurbs once in awhile.

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Dang.

I guess I better throw my 70D away because it's not even as good as this garbage 80D is rumored to be.

Guess I better throw away the tens of thousands of images I've taken with it, too, as they must be utter garbage (after all, you can't get good images from a piece of garbage).

Oh, crap!!! This means I have to call up my clients to inform them that the photos they were just so pleased with are actually crap because they come from the garbage progenitor of a yet-to-be-released garbage camera!

Can this day get any worse???

Aaaaaaahhhhhh!!! Save me, SoNikon -- you're my only hope!!!

Sheesh...

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

Detailed additional specs:

Also from Digicame-info.

...
Adopt a new miniaturization process
...

Miniaturization? Is that talking about the camera body?
Could this body be the same size as a normal Rebel?
Could it be smaller?

This just got a whole lot more interesting. If nothing else I will buy the 1300D when it comes out (as long as it has the 24MP sensor), but if Canon applies some of the SL design principles to the 80D then I'm absolutely sold.

umm no .. my god .. didn't you look at the pictures of it?

they are talking about the sensor .. so I imagine they are talking design rules in the fab.

Yes, yes I did.
And my mind completely blanked those pictures out the moment I thought I saw a hint that a high end SL2 could be possible.
Which just goes to show that anyone can prioritize their dreams above reality (just like everyone who says that they "need" 14 stops of DR).

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

wow, those fanboys are funny

just for the record, my company worked as an OEM in imaging technology development with Canon; even though that is some years ago, I probably know a lot more about Canon technology, production and marketing than you.

What's equally funny is that you seem to have come here to bash Canon whilst dangling a 'I know Canon better than you' carrot whilst offering no further insight. If you've got an objective argument to make, fair enough. But with the drivel you've posted so far, I guess not. Or have you?

Besides the fact that if it "was some years ago" he now knows absolutely nothing simply due to the rate technology changes.

Thanks to metabones and other speedbooster adaptors the small sensor of micro 4/3 didn't make too much difference for people who are shooting under controlled situation. For video shooters on Sony platform they either have to get A7s series or upgrade all the way up to their FS series of cameras. Even though on paper their A6x00 camera and others offer good video features, overall video quality is not upto mark.I know a couple of filmmakers from my part of the world who first started SLR video thanks to Canons 5D mark II but were put off by this Canon's stupidity of protecting their expensive cameras and have all now shifted to Panasonic Gh4, and Sony A7s for their video needs. Even if Canon improves the IQ on their cameras, their backward mentality of protecting expensive cameras is becoming a real pain in rearside and putting off a lot of users.

7DM2 does not offer continuous AF in live view mode. 7DM2 LCD is non-articulate and has no touch screen capability.

If Canon is holding back 4k video, then Nikon is in the stone age as far as video and live view are concerned.

We'll see if there is any improvement in the low ISO department for the 80D.

Nice pics. There is hope for better video quality. Canon actually talked down video quality of 5DS. But there are users who claimed 5DS 1080p is better than any Canon DSLR.

Well -- I've been taking pictures for the trash can with my 50D for the last few years (more than 150K) -- and I can't wait to be a happy 80D addict (do they add the drugs for free?).
Hand over the garbage.

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

I prefer the comments on Digicame.info, at least they are more original compared to the Sony fangays trolloling here:

It is all filled of APS-C Intermediate machine.

High sensitivity performance is like a foot, but it feels like as a step-up machines from Kiss is a fairly high satisfaction camera.

7D2 exceeded 27 points F8 correspondence is a surprise.
Since the Canon product spec of the image using the mind always in high-end models, it is the happy news to come put the junior dominating senior function.
Although F8 purchase of correspondence layers required to double-digit machine who will also feel me any are you only.

Re: Canon EOS 80D Specifications

I think anyone moving to an entry-level DSLR is either looking for better image quality shooting creatively where the 6D excels or wildlife/birds/sports where the 7D excels.

The very fact you consider the 80D an "entry level" DSLR well shows your disdain for anything which is not a top-of-the-line camera or almost. The entry levels ones are the Rebel and 7xxD. The 80D is already in an more advanced class. People who already know what know (or believe to know) what kind of photography they want to do, may go directly to the 6D and 7D - which still are more expensive, and the 6D can't use the smaller, and somewhat less expensive EF-S lenses. And not everybody can easily spend some (or several) hundreds more for just a body - after all to exploit an SLR potential you essentially need lenses. Thus saving something on the body can let you afford another lens sooner. I still remember the times when I had to save carefully to afford my next purchase, and sometimes I had to accept compromises - better something less than nothing at all. It looks others were luckier, or prefer to forget...

Af point coverage unlike 7D mk2(nearly edge to edge) is going to be only across the middle of viewfinder(similar to Nikons D6x0/750).
Af customisation and selection modes will be castrated and 80D wont get Spot or Group selection options
No Af linked spot metering(sadly this is lacking in 7D mk ii as well)
No dual Sd card slots(extremely useful for backups)
Gimped ergonomics, selecting af points using that Dpad is going to be pain in thumb. (Nikon has the Dpad in proper position).
Sure 7D mk II lacks touchscreen but it was apprently done to improve ruggedness.
Also if the rumours are true and Canon does release an update to 7D Mk2 then it might improve on those points..
Also Nikon will update their D7200 soon and they will make sure that it will have better feature set than 80D(atleast for the sake of marketing they will add 4K and boast about it).

on a side note that 18-135mm lens is looking more interesting, it would be interesting to see how Canon develops the concept in future especially for mirrorless users.
