I have not tested the accuracy with a wide open f/1.2 yet. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 seems to hit it once narrowed to 2.8. The Canon 80D has the same sensor as Canon’s newest Rebel cameras (the T7i and SL2, specifically), so you actually do not see any image quality benefits by purchasing this camera rather than one of those. However, the 80D certainly has other things going for it – autofocus performance, frame rate, controls, weather sealing, and so on. As a belt and braces approach, the 77D also features Canon’s DIGIC 7 processor with a native ISO range of 100-25,600 that can be extended to ISO 51,200 equivalent. It’s further claimed that the DIGIC 7 processor also offers improved autofocus when compared to the DIGIC 6 predecessor, which is the one sported by its bigger brother in the EOS 80D. These specifications might look a little on the low side for 2018, but they combine to form a camera that remains versatile even on today’s tech-heavy market. The 7 frames per second is still highly respectable for a DSLR, and features like Dual Pixel autofocus borrow some of mirrorless cameras’ best traits. The battery life on the Canon 80D is also excellent at 960 photos per charge.

Kevin, the shutter activation limits has been adjusted to reflect real world conditions, whereas, at the release of a new product, some specifications are hypothetical. While Canon can say with confidence that the shutter will work past a certain limit in quality assured testing in a sterile testing laboratory, real world conditions may change some parameters quoted at the time the product was released.

Why you can trust Digital Camera World Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out how we test. The EOS 77D features a new-at-the-time 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, which utilises Canon’s on-chip analogue-to-digital conversion technology, as seen on the likes of the distinctly more grown up EOS 5D Mark IV. On paper, this produces cleaner images at higher ISOs compared to the older sensor in the manufacturer’s own 750D and 760D. In my opinion DPR does not treat Canon, like they care for Sony and Nikon. What are their motives, I don't know, but it is my opinion. Maybe they think Canon is much bigger than Nikon as a corporation, and they like the David's of this world.

However, I also get the sense that Canon is holding out some of their technology for the 80D’s successor, like built-in Bluetooth and 4K video. The 80D also has only a single memory card slot, which is something that will turn away a certain segment of photographers (namely people who shoot weddings or similar once-in-a-lifetime events, where a single slot might not provide enough peace of mind).

Rather than utilising Canon’s latest DIGIC 7 image processor, the sensor teams up with the manufacturer’s older, but still powerful, DIGIC 6 image processor. This pairing allows the 80D to shoot from ISO 100-16,000 (expandable to ISO 25,600), which works out to be a 1-stop sensitivity gain over the 70D. However, it’s no faster at rattling out a continuous burst than its predecessor, at 7fps. There’s also the option to shoot at 3fps in the 80D’s silent shooting mode, and it’s possible to rattle off a burst at 5fps in live view mode. Inferior? It’s not canon that inferior, it’s really all of them. If I only want to shoot stills, than I’ll without any hesitation buy Nikon. D500, for example. But only stills and only through VF. LV and video AF performance – very poor. In every Nikon model. If I want mainly shoot video (and 4K), and only sometimes stills – I’ll buy Sony. But at once acquire all Sony problems – class leading ISO and DR quality –yes, but both carefully destroyed by great margin with lossy compression, than by lower bit RAWs in series. Class leading AF without proper (and cheap) means to control it. I love to shoot both stills and video. So what – I should buy both? Than this canon. I don’t really need 4k this year for sure. But this canon, as it seems, doesn’t have any class leading features at all. But, because of what I wrote, more important, that 80D doesn’t have any epic fails – thus receiving more universal do-it-all mark for me. Eyelevel pentamirror single lens reflex viewfinder offering 95% frame coverage; 3-inch LCD with 1,040,000 dots resolution The Canon 80D sits near the top of a large number of entry-level DSLRs that Canon makes. It has a 1.6x aps-c crop sensor, the same size as that found on Canon Rebel cameras and Canon’s more advanced 7D series.

The 80D shown with PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter connected to the EF-S 18-135mm F3.5-5.6 IS USM kit zoom. This adapter allows for smooth zooming at variable speeds. In this case, the two cameras have exactly the same control layout. Clearly, existing 80D users will find the 90D very familiar to use overall.

Compared to its predecessor, the 70D, the Canon 80D adds a few noteworthy features that many photographers will find valuable. Canon EOS 80D: Aluminum alloy & polycarbonate construction, capable of operating in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C The Canon 80D lineup has always competed relatively closely with Nikon’s D7000 lineup, sharing many specifications and features. That’s just as true against the newer D7200 and D7500 cameras.

Of these points, 27 will support autofocus at f/8 when the body is attached to one of two specific lens/ teleconverter combinations (the Canon 100-400 Mark II with 1.4x III or the Canon 200-400 with 2x III). Any other lens/teleconverter combinations resulting in an aperture of f/8 will only function with the center point. The 80D is the first non-professional EOS body that can autofocus in this situation; previous non-professional bodies could not autofocus if the maximum aperture of an attached lens/teleconverter combination was smaller than f/5.6. However, note that Canon did shave off some weight on the 90D – 619 vs 730 grams (body only), which is certainly welcome. Who Should Get the 80D or 90D? The Canon EOS 77D boasts the complexity of a 45-point auto focus system and great Live View AF performance with it. In fact we particularly love its performance in Live View mode, where it feels as fast and responsive as the latest generation mirrorless cameras. On the EOS 80D, Canon has improved AF response whether shooting using the eye level viewfinder, or the alternative of the LCD screen when the camera is switched to Live View mode. Matching the EOS 77D we’re putting it up against here, the 80D offers its users 45 AF points, which are again all cross type.In short, the 90D is a vastly improved camera compared to the already-great 80D. Camera Body Comparison Eyelevel pentamirror single lens reflex viewfinder offering 100% frame coverage; vari-angle 3-inch LCD with 1,040,000 dots resolution The shooting speed for the EOS 77D is best described as good, without being particularly stellar; its 6fps burst capture rate bettering most consumer DSLRs, while hardly mounting a challenge to more professional beasts. Possibly because if it were any faster the 77D would end up encroaching on the 7fps shooting 80D’s territory and its maker wants to maintain some differentiation in its range.
