Canon Digital SLR Camera Body [EOS 80D] with 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) CMOS Sensor and Dual Pixel CMOS AF - Black
- I\'ve been using Canon DSLR\'s since 2008, starting with the XSi and progressing to the T3i, 60D, 70D and now the 80D....I\'ve also used the 6D MKII and the Sony A7III...For pure image quality, both of those full framers blow this away...BUT:The autofocus on the 80D is more usable than on the 6D MKII as there are 45 points that are more spread out..The focus on the A7III is even quicker, despite the fact that the AF on this camera (with the right lenses-See the new USM lenses!) is super fast...Reasons I chose THIS over the A7III:Fully-Articulated and FULLY TOUCHABLE SCREEN!!Dual Pixel AF in Live ViewTHAT GRIP!The fact that it takes the same battery as my 70D and the 60D and the 5D series as well...The fact that it comes with an actual CHARGER!The fact that my 70D battery grip fits this camera with no problem..The fact that my Yongnuo flashes work as well as they did with the 70D (which is to say not perfectly, but well enough)The fact that my strobes/trigger work as expected with this camera and NOT with the A7IIIThe fact that I can drop this camera and not think twice about it..Not that I would...The fact that I can flip the screen around to face inwards, when transporting the camera/not using live view and KNOW that the screen is protected..The fact that this camera will NEVER overheat..The optical viewfinder is superior to the EVF on the Sony except for the fact that you can preview your exposure, although you can do that on this camera in live view if you wish...I much prefer optical...It\'s true that you can see in lower light through the EVF on the sony, when you\'d see inky blackness on the OVF, BUT, the evf image is noisy and if it\'s that dark, you should be using flash/strobes or just not shoot...The built in flash-It works much better than they used to..CANON\'s LENS ECOSYSTEM:Many many options out there (WAY more than Sony) and there are far less expensive options for Canon than for Sony, although Sony\'s lenses are mirrorless system specific and much sharper...A great used/aftermarket for lenses....And other accessoriesA TON of useful accessories/3rd party and OEM for Canon...I can carry the 80D around all day with a long lens on it, holding it just by the grip and my hand doesn\'t get tired, whereas with the Sony I want to put it down after like 5 minutes...ONE CARD SLOT! It\'s SO MUCH SIMPLER...I THOUGHT 2 card slots was a MUST because the \"pros\" on YT told me so, but in reality, for an amateur, it\'s just a PITA...I MUCH prefer the super quick way I can change memory cards and batteries on the 80D vs the Sony and others....LENS RELEASE BUTTON;It\'s between the lens and the grip on the A7III and on the opposite side (where it belongs!) on the 80D...Much quicker to change lenses...Sensor Protection-The 80D has a mirror that stays in place when you change lenses....The Sony and other mirrorless cameras have a naked sensor exposed to the world when you remove the lens, except the EOS R and I think the Nikon twins-Z7 and Z6, which drop a shutter down when the lens is removed..Battery Door-On the 80D, you flick it open, pop out the battery, slot in a new one-sticking it in the natural way you\'d think it would go btw) and slam the door shut, job done....On the Sony, you have to hold the tiny latch as you close the door...But the memory card door works like the Canon, so why the inconsistency?REACH-So on this Crop Sensor/APS-C camera, a 70-200 lens becomes/looks like/behaves like, etc etc...A 112-320! lens...So you basically get 60% more reach..Of course, you get short-changed on the wide end, but length is better than width anyway...AND THE BIG REASON: PRICE!The 6D MKII is now $1299 with a free (and actual Canon) battery grip...an amazing deal! BUT, it was originally $2000!!!!!!The A7III IS $2000 BODY ONLY! Yes, I know it\'s $1998, but by the time you add tax, it\'s over $2K! AND, by the time you add two decent lenses, you\'re talking $4K...I was able to buy a refurbished 80D and two lenses for $1450...With a battery charger! So I saved roughly $2550, which is enough to pay for a nice vacation, on which I can use my new camera! Or I can buy the Sony and just stay home and take pics of my walls...For me, with my long history of Canon DSLR ownership and my needs, the 80D just made/makes sense...Highly Recommended!
- While I loved my 70D and used it for many years, stepping up to the 80D was much better than I anticipated. The features and picture quality are much better. Plus this particular camera was very gently used and arrived in extremely great shape. The shutter count was extremely low. I have already taken some great shots with it and look forward to taking many many more.
- There isn\'t much to say about this camera that hasn\'t already been said. This is a great camera. I have a friend who is a professional photographer and uses a Nikon full-frame. He came over to help me with the camera and get me started, and he was really impressed with it. However, if you\'re expecting it to be as good in terms of image quality, compared to much more expensive full frame cameras, I won\'t say that. For him, he prefers a certain Nikon model which is a little older, which is why he was really impressed with all of the new, modern features like touch menus and everything else. If you are looking to start out into the black hole that is DSLR photography, this is a great launchpad.Update: After using this more and getting more into photography, I was able to try other cameras and shop around. Which lead me back to understanding that this is probably the second or third best camera for me, and that any options above would cost 3 times more.Pros:- While this camera isn\'t the best for photos (beat by other dslrs and even some mirrorless cameras), nor is it the best for video (other cameras offer 4k), it is maybe the best combination of the two (aside from a couple sony mirrorless cameras which cost 3 times as much)- The fully articulating screen is actually not that common among even the best cameras (which is great for video)- There are a ton of lenses for this camera which gives you options, including a great selection of image-stabilized lenses (again essential for video)- Great value, again the combination of features for video (wide range of resolutions and frame rates, fully-articulating-touch screen, lots of image stabilized lenses) and photos (pretty fast at 7fps, fairly good low-light performance around 1100 ISO) make this a jack of all trades. It does nothing really well, but it\'s good at just about everything.Cons:- Not the best in low light (will be easily beat by most full-frame cameras)- Considering the cropped sensor, the body is actually quite big even compared to full-frame dslrs- The cropped sensor makes finding the perfect lens a bit difficult since they are made with full-frame cameras in mind (i.e. if you want a nice 35mm lens, you actually are shopping in the less popular 24mm lens range)Conclusion:If you are only taking pictures, you could find something better for just a little more money (full frame Canon), so I wouldn\'t recommend this if this is you. If you are planning on only taking videos, you could also find something better; but not in this price range. The sony mirrorless cameras are great for video, and beat this at taking pictures; but that costs 3 times as much and the lenses also tend to be more expensive, and your selection of Sony lenses is much smaller. If you\'re like me and you want a good balance of photo and video quality, without spending $5,000+; then this really is your best bet.
