On the EOS 80D, Canon’s boosted the sensor resolution from 20.2 Megapixels on the 70D to 24.2 Megapixels here – not a significant leap, and one you’ll barely notice in real-life situations, but an important one in terms of marketing to bring it in-line with Nikon, Sony and Fujifilm. It works so well in Live View and movies that I’d love to see Canon to offer it on all of its cameras, DSLRs and mirrorless, but alas it continues to be fairly exclusive, but at least it’s now on twice as many bodies as it was last year. The EOS 80D marks the fourth appearance of Dual Pixel CMOS AF on its traditional DSLR series, following the EOS 1Dx Mark II, 7D Mark II and 70D before it. The only cameras that’ll track faster action in Live View or movies are Sony’s A6000 and A6300. In my tests it’s most comfortable with subjects moving in a leisurely fashion, so don’t expect to track fast action in Live View or movies, but in the right circumstances it works like a dream. It works brilliantly with face detection driving the system, or you can simply tap anywhere on the screen and watch it smoothly adjust as desired. It really allows the camera to confidently refocus without hunting, almost regardless of where the subject is on the frame. This technology, which allows 80% of the sensor area to double-up for phase-detect autofocus, then cunningly switch back to image or video capture, still feels revolutionary. The earlier EOS 70D really did give you the best of both Worlds and now the EOS 80D enhances it further.įor me the most exciting part remains Dual Pixel CMOS AF. This gives you the choice of uncompromised shooting whether you’re using the optical viewfinder or the fully-articulated touch-screen.
EOS 80D REVIEWS MOVIE
The EOS 80D makes a number of key improvements over its predecessor, but its core appeal remains unchanged: the speed and confidence of a traditional mid-range DSLR coupled with one of the best movie and live view autofocus systems on the market.

I also love having a fully-articulated touch-screen and built-in Wifi, and while a handful of powered zooms have been available from other manufactures in the past, it's nice to see Canon offering one for its EOS system. There's something highly compelling about composing stills - especially following action - through a traditional optical DSLR viewfinder, then switching into Live View and knowing you have one of the best AF systems around for movies.
But equally there's no denying the charm of the EOS 80D. But beyond addressing some feature shortfalls with the 70D and rival Nikon bodies, there's not a great deal that's really new here and crucially for a camera which otherwise excels at movies, there's still no 4k video. Meanwhile the new viewfinder AF system sports a broader and denser array of AF points than the 70D and works down to dimmer light levels of -3EV.
EOS 80D REVIEWS 1080P
The new 24 Megapixel APS-C sensor may have four more Megapixels over the earlier 70D, but importantly upgrades the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that now supports smooth and confident refocusing with the entire EF lens catalogue, and in 1080p movies up to 60p. Summary Canon's EOS 80D is a mid-range DSLR that's equally confident whether shooting through the traditional optical viewfinder or in Live View with the fully-articulated touch-screen.
