The editors didn't like
The downside to an advanced autofocus system is that it's complex and getting the best from it takes some input from the photographer. In more advanced cameras like the 7D Mark II
5D Mark III and 1DX Mark II
Canon has tried to help with the Case Studies
Sometimes overexposes high-contrast scenes in JPEG mode
No 4K video capture
Still image autofocus not the most reliable
The automatic white balance isn't very good
And it doesn't have a terribly broad set of features
No increase in maximum frame rate (but it is 7fps)

It's bigger than the average compact system camera and its viewfinder can't preview images as they will be captured, but the Canon 80D is an excellent choice of camera for enthusiast photographers. It has a high quality sensor that is able to capture a go...

The Canon EOS 70D earned itself a five-star review at Expert Reviews, not because of any specific stand-out feature but for its elegance and competency across the board. The 80D has echoes of the same traits, but three years on and with the 70D still avai...
Abstract: The EOS 80D is a step up from the consumer-oriented EOS 750D and 760D, with a bigger viewfinder, more physical controls, a weather sealed body, longer battery life, faster performance and more sophisticated autofocus...

Great videographer's toolIf you're an amateur or even a pro videographer, the Canon EOS 80D is a great tool for the job. While it's definitely going to show its age a lot faster than its competitors, the camera stands on its own-it's competent, complete...
As with previous additions to Canon's XXD line up, the 80D builds on the strengths of its predecessors, offering enthusiast photographers a powerful APS-C DSLR that's easy to use and gives great results. What's different this time is that Canon has added...

The 80D is a proper upgrade to the 70D, and retains the Editors' Choice. It may not look different, but there are significant improvements under the hood, namely the autofocusing, superior stills, and Full HD videos that are top-notch. The 80D is a nice s...
The 80D isnt as revolutionary as the 70D was when it was released. Nevertheless, its better than its predecessor in a number of areas, including the accuracy of focusing both in and out of live view. The 80D is more responsive at focusing in low light t...

Continuous autofocus unparalleled at this level, 100% optical finder (finally), fast performance and significant buffer, decent image quality throughout, vari-angle touchscreen (with speedy live view)
No 4K video, no second SD slot, viewfinder flare from direct light sources, off-centre 1-point AF not always perfect, no speed increase over 70D, finish looks plasticky
The Canon EOS 80D takes almost everything that was missing or not quite up to scratch in the already impressive 70D and sets it right. Save for a second SD card slot and absence of 4K video there's not a whole lot missing in this mid-range master...
