Canon EOD 80D | Camera for Photo Enthusiast | Mid Range Camera

I have considered to write about this Canon Mid Range DSLR Camera because it is quite popular due to its features, and popular among Photographer enthusiast in 2018

Canon announced this camera in 2016 with slightly upgrades being made in its predecessor Canon EOS 70D. Main features of this camera are provided hereunder:

• 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel AF
• 45-point AF system with all cross-type points
• Max Video recording at 1080/60p
• Continuous shooting 7fps with AF
• 100% View finder coverage
• 3" articulating touchscreen
• 7560-pixel RGB Plus IR metering sensor
• Wi-Fi + NFC

Canon EOD 80D cons:

• APS-C (crop sensor) rather than Full Frame sensor
• Complex AF system (It requires time to get used to its usability)
• No 4K recording
• Quick Menu not customizability

This camera is a complete package for photo enthusiasts. Other major improvements are Motorized Shutter (similar to Canon 7D Mark II and Canon 5DS), which helps to capture less blurry images with shutter shake (like it happens with spring shutter cameras).

It is equipped with Canon Dual Pixel AF divides pixels into two portion. half of the pixel is used for Image detection and other half can be used for Phase detection. It also helps in continuous focus during video recording but also during still capturing in live view. 

Please also note that this Dual Pixel AF works better with All Canon EF, EF-s and EF-M lenses.

Conclusion:

Canon EOS 80D is one of the good mid range cameras introduced by CANON. Any enthusiast who intends to buy a DSLR may consider it. It gives you great ease to handle stills as well as video recording. Due to lack of subject tracking capabilities, it may not be a good option for sports and action shooters. Further, in my consideration this has to be full frame camera rather AFS-C sensor as its focus points uses 62% horizontal and 48% vertical area of frame.

Overall the Canon EOS 80D offers best dynamic range comparing it with any AFS-C canon camera with dual pixel AF option as well. It is solid choice for enthusiasts.
