This is a Canon, so still photos are fine, both JPEG and RAW and high ISO performance is outstanding. It is the video that is a revelation. Simply touch the critical feature of the subject on the touch screen and the camera will track that spot flawlessly
Simple vertical tilting screens work better than fully articulated
The super fast focus makes this camera a joy to use. It is so responsive it feels almost thought-controlled. The new lens works so well with the body that it is an almost indispensable part of the combination. If video is not a priority then the EOS 70D i...
Photographers looking to step up from an entry-level EOS DSLR to one with more serious imaging capabilities should consider the EOS 80D as a possible option, although (like other DSLR cameras) it's not the best choice for anyone with a serious interest in...
24Mp Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, 110 JPEGs or 25 raw file bursts, New AF systems
No increase in maximum frame rate (but it is 7fps)

Abstract: The Canon EOS 80D is more than just another SLR. Canon has brought a camera to the market that incorporates many innovative functions for photo and video. The key feature is Canon's Dual Pixel CMOS AF which enables fast focussing during live view and vide...
Competent all-rounder, Excellent autofocus in video capture
Sometimes overexposes high-contrast scenes in JPEG mode, No 4K video capture, Still image autofocus not the most reliable
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...
