The Canon EOS 80D is a digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on February 18, 2016. It has a body-only MSRP of US$1199, which is the same as the Canon EOS 70D, which it replaces. The camera can be purchased as a body-only, as kit with the 18-55mm IS STM lens at US$1,349, with the new 18-135mm IS USM lens at US$1,799 or with the EF-S 18-200mm IS at US$1,899.

Main features

Compared to the EOS 70D, several modifications were made, including:

New 24.2-megapixel dual-pixel CMOS sensor

45 cross-type AF points, compared to 19 for the 70D

Of these points, 27 will autofocus when the body is attached to any lens/teleconverter combination with a maximum aperture of f/8. 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.

DIGIC 6 (DIGIC 5+ on the 70D)

New 7560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to aid the AF system

New shutter mechanism to help reduce vibrations and camera shake

"Anti-flicker" (introduced on EOS 7D Mk II) – shutter release can be set to compensate for flickering electric lighting

100% scene coverage viewfinder

Built-in NFC

1080p at 60/50 fps video recording capability

Built-in HDR and time-lapse recording capability (new software)

Better low-light AF sensitivity with a sensitivity range from −3 EV to 18 EV

Increased battery life, from 920 shots per battery to 960 shots per battery

External 3.5 mm stereo microphone jack
