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)
Canon has created an excellent camera that makes a worthwhile upgrade from the 70D. It's well-built with sensibly arranged controls, has good ergonomics and an extensive feature set, and can be set up to suit your shooting style. Most importantly, the ima...
Google is holding a competition that could see your Pixel photos gracing millions of screens. Nikon's 100th birthday party continues worldwide as a distributor in Italy organized a one-of-a-kind feat: assembling the world's largest 'human camera' from ov...
Enthusiasts and amateurs who are looking to take more control over their photography, and those looking to capture video with ease
24MP sensor brings Dual Pixel AF and dynamic range improvements, Digic 7 processor improves Live View autofocus tracking, Good touchscreen interface and responsiveness, Updated 45-point autofocus system with all cross-type points for better accuracy, Twin
The Canon EOS 77D is a well-rounded and well-sorted camera. The ergonomics are great, Live View performance is superb and Dual Pixel Autofocus continues to impress. The viewfinder is a little on the small side and it still doesn't shoot 4K video, but as a...
The Canon 80D is just what it is advertised to be – a mid-range DSLR that won't set any spec sheets on fire but is serviceable across a wide range of applications. It is a worthy successor to what Canon started with the 70D for both still and video shoote...
Great battery life, comfortable design, rotating display, convenient AF selector button, responsive autofocus, solid image quality
Lacks GPS, underwhelming lowlight performance, inconsistent touch focusing through the app, no 4K, PRICE: $1,199
In isolation, the 80D is an excellent DSLR. “For $1,200, you can't go wrong,” Patiño says. If you're in the EOS family and want to stay there, the 80D is a solid addition. If you own a 70D, you're looking at a big jump in AF points (45 on the 80D vs. 19 o...
Abstract: These days, many (if not most) consumers are likely to shop based on price and capability, rather than according to whether a certain model contains a mirror, or not. We think this is a good thing; with all the increased competition, cameras are improving...
Abstract: I buy only from these approved sources. I can't vouch for ads below.The Canon 80D is a great combination of the light weight of the Canon Rebel DSLRs, with most of the advanced controls of the top of the line cameras like the 7D Mk II. The 80D is a marvel...
45 Autofocus points, Articulated LCD, Microphone and headphone jacks
No 4K video, Single card slot
The Canon EOS 80D is great for photographers who want to step up from Canon’s Rebel line, as well as 70D owners who want to upgrade to a much better AF system.But there are other cameras in this APS-C class that are worth considering, such as the Nikon D7...
Great color reproduction, Highest usable dynamic range of all Canon APSC cameras, Extremely fast auto focus, both for video and for photography, Headphone connection for video, Nice menu
ISO range is limited, Limited video options: no slow motion, 4K, focus peaking or clean video output, Dynamic range does not yet match that of competitors
The 80D makes an excellent all-rounder with a very high quality autofocus system, snappy continuous shooting and the ability to keep noise in check. And while it's disappointing that it's not capable of recording 4K video, the vari-angle screen, smooth au...
