Canon 6D Mark II vs Canon 80D: Which To Buy? Dynamic Range, AF Test & More!

Canon 6D Mark II vs Canon 80D: Which To Buy? I give a quick side by side test to check out the dynamic range, 1080p HD video quality and the difference with video autofocus using Canon's Dual Pixel AF system. Which do you think looked the best? Is the Canon 6D Mark II worth $2K USD? Is there a major difference to upgrade from a Canon 70D or Canon 80D to the 6D Mark 2? Let me know down below. I will have a full review on the Canon 6D Mark II over the next few weeks. I will share my honest thoughts of using the camera there. Check out my unboxing and first hands on impressions with it as well!

Both the Canon 80D and 6D Mark II are amazing cameras. Is the 6D a bit behind tech wise for 2017, yes. But does it make it a bad camera, no. It's just not future proof. I will have the full review of the 6D 2 in the next few weeks. If you want to check out my first hands on with the camera check this out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pZvcgYCpdpqneKs Here is a link to my blog with two full res images showing the shadows pulled for the dynamic range testing: bit.ly/2v5FL9c

[@onlysublime]

getting my 6D2 on Tuesday! So excited. Loved my 6D and can't wait for the new AF system as well as the articulating touchscreen. I can never go back to a crop sensor. I just felt so limited with framing and the how it affected each lens. that 1.6X drove me crazy.

[@rakeeprabha]

5d mark lll and 6d mark ll. which is the best camera plz Rpy me sir plsese

[@michaeldidomenico7]

which one would you buy

[@Eric_Rossi]

I prefer full frame, so I own the 6D Mark II.

[@southamptons]

Eric Rossi great video. if you were to buy a DSL’s today. What would you buy? Up to 2,000 in price.

[@cyfromearth]

It's crazy to see all these people hating on Canon Cameras now days. I have been a Canon fan for many years, and I myself am interested in making the switch to Sony Mirrorless systems. However, I feel like we will never have the perfect camera one way or the other there will always be something better or newer out there. Everyone should just get something they like, that fits their budget and a camera that is capable of doing what you need it to do. Happy shooting everyone.

[@Eric_Rossi]

well said we will NEVER have a perfect camera

[@dinkobilic9078]

Eric Rossi we do, it's called Nikon D850:)). Just kidding, in all honesty the end result should be the only thing that matters.

[@Eric_Rossi]

lol meh, we'll agree to disagree. But 100% agree and it comes down to the user as well and their needs.

[@dinkobilic9078]

Eric Rossi do you shoot weddings? And if yes, what is your primary body that you use?

[@Eric_Rossi]

sorry I just saw this comment lol. I switch between Nikon and Canon gear. Nikon side mainly D750. Canon side, 5D Mark IV and the 6D Mark II

[@HiImSpencerTate]

grateful for people like you who do side by side comparisons of DSLR's. helps decision making when upgrading a lot easier.

[@Eric_Rossi]

thank you, just trying to show all sides!

[@WeBuildStuff]

I just bought a 2nd 6d mark 1 yesterday. I've had my other 6d since it came out in 2012. I needed a 2nd FF camera for work but couldn't justify 2900 (CAD after taxes) when it really wouldn't improve my current work other than getting 1080/60 for video and a boost in AF performance. I paid $900 for the used 6D on craigslist. Under 10k shutter count and will compliment my current gear perfectly for the days where I need two cameras at once during weddings. I may still buy the 6D2 in a year or so if the price comes down or maybe by then I will already have enough saved for the beast that is the 1dx2!

[@arxvphoto809]

The AF in video was pulling so smooth wow! Image quality looks identical to the first gen 6D

[@Eric_Rossi]

yeah it looks really good, they both do

[@rolandsv8]

I am pretty sure AF settings can be tweeked on both

[@Sandoval_paulo]

ARXV Photo aw...wa

[@chieutuanvlogs9056]

Oke

[@kevinkidd7211]

I'll stick with my 80D

[@ktownedd]

just baught my first real camera a canon 70D. loving it so far

[@Eric_Rossi]

still a great camera, congrats!

[@Eric_Rossi]

I wanted to touch on two more points. The AF system/coverage and the price points. Both could be big factors. The 80D and 6D II have similar af systems. But the coverage is so tight in the 6D that the 80D is the clear winner with that. The other factor comes down to price. The 80D is about $1,099 USD while the 6D Mark II is $1,999 USD. So is it really worth the $800-900 difference. To me it comes down to a bit faster af and wanted full frame. It's a familiar way for a Canon 70D/80D user to jump to full frame with being used to the camera layout.

[@robertmaloy4809]

I like dhiuyujh

[@ToonieMarie]

This may be an unpopular opinion... but I'd like to switch to either an 80D or 6D m2 from my Sony a6500. The image quality is awesome and there is a lot of opportunity with the Sony, but my first camera was a t2i and by learning with that I just really miss Canon. I don't like to mess around with color grading, I can't nail the photo settings with the Sony, and Canon interface is just what I prefer. Thanks for your comparison video, Eric!

[@Eric_Rossi]

unpopular or not, doesnt matter, its what works better for you! Which do you think you'll go with?

[@TJuice1986]

I bought the 80D about 6 months ago and I’m more then happy with it. I bought a refurbished model with a shutter count of 807 on it. It came with the 18-55mm kit lens and a rode video mic pro. I use it for my KZbin channel and some armature photography. I paid $820 for everything and I’m extremely happy with the deal I got. Sony and Panasonic both seem to have really great cameras out right now but I’ve already invested in canon glass so I’m just going to patiently wait and see what cannon has to offer in the next year. Thanks for this comparison, keep these videos coming!

[@Eric_Rossi]

congrats on your purchase, itll help you for a long time! As for Canon's DSLR line, they said they wont do much with it in 2019, because they are focusing on their mirrorless line. But expect some things for 2020.

[@richmondke1805]

The Beard Dream you bought it at amazon or ebay

[@eatmelily]

Watching this made me Glad I bought the 80D

[@Eric_Rossi]

amazing camera, great choice!

[@DEVUNK88]

I wouldnt touch the 6D 1 or 2 with a 100ft pole I'd just jump up to a used 5d2 or 3

[@eatmelily]

I actually just sold my 5D iii and bought a 6D MK II.......Simply Amazing....couldn't be happier...

[@krejn]

had a friend shoot me with a full frame. Definitely switching over to full frame.

[@Eric_Rossi]

if you do, welcome to the full fame world, you'll enjoy it!

[@83nav]

Thank you for the quick comparison, so it sems to me, that I´ll stick to my 80D and if I´ll upgrade, I´ll immediately step higher than the 6DmkII when it comes to that moment

[@Eric_Rossi]

yeah if you arent dying for full frame lol, theres no huge need to upgrade.

[@83nav]

Since I´m a lot photographing a lot at dark places, I could really think about a full frame camera, but at the moment the 80D serves very well. If I qould shoot sports, my first choice would also be the 7D II or if affordable/necessary one of the newer 1D series cameras.

[@83nav]

Thank you for the recommendation, but before stocking up th camera, I first have to learn more about photography. Knowledge is an asset you can´t replace with equipment :)

[@bmbfilmshd]

We all bashing on this camera but people still going to buy it no matter what the situation is! So congratulations on the new camera bro!

[@Eric_Rossi]

its actually selling very well, shocks me too actually. But thank you!

[@anil1svnit]

@Eric, there is huge brand following in India, There are just 2 brands available its either Canon or Nikon. If anyone asks for a DSLR he gets pointed to one of these brands. people don't even know about SONY Panasonic or Fuji camera here. I guess it will be same almost everywhere. And that is what selling. Other brands will have to kick up their marketing in top gear to actually cause a dent in that.

[@Eric_Rossi]

Interesting, Sony has definitely come up a ton in market at least over here.

[@anil1svnit]

Eric Rossi Yeah, it makes sense economically. India has really poor pirchasing power parity, Anything dollars converted to indian currency is quite costly and that is why canon and Nikon sell more as people here really can not afford to experiment with new ecosystem. I will give you a real life example, I helped photographing a marriage I was second camera man and was paid 200$ , actual cameraman was paid around 800$ and this covered 3 hard printed photo albums and documentary style video coverage. It would be interesting to know how much you guys would get for same.. I have to point out in indian currency its still lot of money and we are not getting shortchanged. But issue comes up when we have to acquire better equipment for photography as they are insurmountably costly. And hence just okay cameras are poor value acquisition for us as we can not just buy and keep changing system and that is one of the reason I am not 100% happy with this body..

[@markharris5771]

Eric Rossi Believe it or not but Canon are still the top company for selling detachable lens cameras, and I too was shocked when I read this. A lot of people are reading the figures wrong, Canon HAS LOST A MASSIVE AMOUNT OF UNIT SALES, but they were mostly from the point and shoot range. This used to be about 70% of their sales, it's well under 10% now, the fact it isn't high end camera is not insignificant as the mark up on these is astronomical and I honestly don't know just what percentage of their income this formed. Sony still does well in this range, you often see analogue camera users carry a Sony P&S as a composition aid/light meter as they are far superior. Plus, they can now add their detachable lens range and their mobile chip/sensors but I couldn't find in the FT article if they counted the sensors they sell to Nikon and my colleague took his paper back off me. However, camera sales as a whole are dramatically down on what they were just two years ago and it is more than likely this trend will continue, hopefully people are realising it isn't technology that takes images it just makes little bits of it a little bit easier. If you gave me a top range professional drill with a built in laser thingy for straight lines, I can guarantee you will still get a wonky shelf because I'm a useless DIYer. However, none of this really matters as these are just numbers and I'm sure someone will pull out a misquoted graph to show why this is all wrong. But as I mentioned on a previous video, all that matters is that the person who buys the camera is happy with their purchase and I second the congrats on the new camera.

[@serbaguna3675]

I have 80D in this week. I use 720 60fps for wedding video. Amazing camera I have.

[@mandurahchess]

I think the 80D should have been wearing an EF-S 10--22 SO AS TO HAVE A COMPARABLE FIELD OF VIEW. sorry, forgot caps lock.

[@Eric_Rossi]

yeah but a much less quality lens. But this is a realistic view of what people have

[@move1071]

Good comparison man! I've ordered 6d mark ii regardless what people were saying, i think it's a great camera! Upgrading from Canon 60D

[@Eric_Rossi]

congrats, you'll have a great time with the camera. Big leap from the 60D

[@theosphilusthistler712]

"human eye has 24 stops of dynamic range". Not quite true. The absolute highest and lowest levels the eye can perceive cover 46.5 stops but the static dynamic range - ie what we perceive at any given time, is only about 6.5 EV (which is also about the DR of a print) What I'm struggling to find more about is how much HDR the eye performs and how fast. It takes considerable time for the iris to fully open, less for it to close. As we move our gaze about a scene the 6.5 EV we are seeing probably changes very quickly within a central range, making human vision somewhat akin to HDR video, but I don't know the numbers for that.

[@victor.shpakov]

How do the cameras compare in terms of build quality? Is there at least slight difference in how it feels to you? Thanks for taking a time to compile a review, Eric.

[@Eric_Rossi]

honestly, they feel the exact same

[@victor.shpakov]

@@Eric_Rossi Thank you!

[@sceliano]

I've bought 80d few days ago. As it is now, and for what im using it i just dont need ff and for me that's the main difference. Everywhere else the difference is so small that realistically if you are using your camera properly nobody is going to notice not eaven you. Lack of 4k is just unforgivable considering when it came out and considering the price of the device. Also I expect the price drop would be quite significant where the 80d will always be good little B camera. Considering the market the 4k is a must in this price range and very very soon they'll have to make one of those. That camera will be the killer of 6Dmk2. I just dont see the buyer... If you need ff eaven then I would sooner give a little more money and take 5dmk4. The math is just not there for me...

[@Eric_Rossi]

I wouldnt say that, people are blowing up over 4k for no reason but thats my opinion. We wont have that debate here lol. But the 5d 4 also left a ton of people disappointed and the 4k in that is a total joke. Funny enough though the 6D II is selling well, I'd love to see the return rate though in a few months to see if people keep them.

[@SiobhanZoe]

This is so helpful. I needed someone to just break it down simply.

[@Eric_Rossi]

Glad to help!

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

Great job, the 80D is my first real camera... but I'm considering getting a new old stock 6DMk2 to have the option of a full frame... 👍🏻

[@Eric_Rossi]

The full frame world is fantastic! Great getting out of the crop factor

[@EssexCountyPhoto]

@@Eric_Rossi Thanks! I eventually bit the bullet and found a NOS 6D Mk2... which I had to send back because the LCD screen had the "mystery random switch off" disease (glad it was an actual genuine issue, realisad the Canon website mentioned it...) 🤣 But thanks to the great people at HDEW Cameras (UK), I got a replacement body within a week. 👍🏻 I'm using my old Tamron 150-600mm G2, and just got the Tap-In console to hopefully dial in focus adjustments. Keep up the great work. And Happy New year! 🥳

[@yungchowz4639]

For anyone wanting some professional looking photos and great 1080p video ( that's what the majority of youtubers shoot in) just go for the original 6D, you are getting a full frame plus it's the best when it comes to shooting in low light. The 80D is more leaning towards video mainly, you can still get some nice pictures but still not the same quality as a Full Frame. I sold my 80D and went with a 6D ( not the mark 2 ).

[@bkbright7245]

Happy with 6D now ?

[@Ranblv]

From my experience my 80D is sharper with APS-C specific lenses, more then when using FF lenses. So a better comparison would be using the sigma 18-35 on the 80D.

[@Eric_Rossi]

nah, better glass renders on any sensor, speaking crop or fx. Plus many people needing to make this choice have similar options of L lenses

[@SchardtCinematic]

I have a 5D mark III. Love it's quality. But hate that it does not auto focus during video. Bought the 80D because it auto focuses on video. But miss the look of the full frame. My plan is to get a 6D mark II in 2019 so I can have that full frame feel in video. Because using my favorite EF lens doesan't work well on the cropped sensor. the lens loses something with the crop factor. So I will soon be owning both of these soon.

[@JoaoPCavalcanti]

Nice video, but wait a minute, what kind of file compression did you use to compare video? I have the 80D and it has ALL-I, but the 6DII doesn't, which did you use on the comparison?

[@markharris5771]

I can really see how both would appeal to many stills photographers, I shoot both cropped sensor and full frame cameras and I know with landscape/wildlife photography both have a distinct advantage. Full frame usually for the former and cropped sensor for the latter. But where I use the heavier 5Ds and 7DII for the weather sealing the arms would be dropping off a wedding photographer after the 14 hours they can be carrying them for. Another wonderful common sense and truthful video.

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks Mark and yeah, Canon states they really arent making the 6D as a video camera. So thats why its annoying so many people lol they just see the price, say it should have 4k and just complain without using it

[@MichaelMa]

6D Mark II video looks like lower res, sharpened more. But it looks like it has better dynamic range? I cannot say this conclusively. 80D and GH5 owner. Of course, GH5 video quality looks like it's 20 years ahead of either of these cameras. In the market for either a 5D4 or a 6D2. But I'm not loving either one, but wish to go full frame Canon. Maybe I'll wait 4 more years. Thanks for the tests!

[@Eric_Rossi]

any reason you wouldnt look into the 5d mark iv or do you want 4k?

[@MichaelMa]

I really want the articulating screen. I know pros say they only use the viewfinder and look down on people shooting with live view but for creative shots, it opens up a lot of options shooting high, low, and extreme angles. What I want is a 5D Mark 4 with an articulating screen. I have plenty of cameras. None of them full frame. I've been itching for the right full frame Canon for 5 years, but it seems to never come. Anyways, I really appreciate you showing the 80D vs 6D Mark II video quality. It showed me everything I needed to know.

[@nikhilchandra9258]

As a canon shooter, I feel a bit left behind by Canon on these new cameras they are releasing. The original 6D had a better dynamic range and a great image quality(on par with 5d mark 3). This "upgrade" seems to be worse than the original 6D in terms of image quality and Dynamic range. It's a decent camera but not an upgrade over 6D other than AF.

[@Eric_Rossi]

its actually better over the original 6d but I do agree, they just arent pushing the industry anymore.

[@AnthonyMC67]

That is what I wanted to hear....if the image is better than the original 6D which I own one and I love the images, then I am sold. I rather not spend so much more on the 5D4 for what I do. I will wait until it drops in price, I think at this time it is priced higher that it should be. I say around $1600 is fair price. The only thing that I really wished Canon would have put in this camera was the second SD card slot.

[@onlysublime]

you should actually see for yourself rather than repeating the same article that everyone is else is repeating from the Internet. People who have actually used the production version of the camera show it to be better or equivalent.

[@nikhilchandra9258]

How is it an upgrade if its an equivalent?

[@pidi_tube]

Because a camera is so much more than just the dynamic range....

[@touchtapgo]

You shot this with an iPhone? It's beautiful! Now you're making me reconsider even purchasing a Canon.

[@Eric_Rossi]

lol yup! iPhone 7 Plus

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

still relevant. thank you for the effort and the sharing. i'm more impressed that the 80d is still in the ballpark with the 6dmk2! i was also intrigued by your insight that the dynamic range with either the nikon d750 or your fuji xt2 was far greater than either canon. is the fuji xt2 vs canon 80d a fair shoot-out? thumbs up.

[@Eric_Rossi]

thank you! Stills wise, I would take the Fuji in this case

[@78wesley]

6d is just awesome video footage compared with the 80, excellent video as always mate...

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks man!

[@richmck007]

As a 70d owner for four years, have used & abused it almost to death..! Now the dilemma, upgrade to the 6d ii..??? The 80d & 70d are similar in certain aspects.., have not yet tested the 6d ii. Would that be the way to go? Concert shoots, point & shoot, travel shoots and lowlight as well as group shoots in all types of situations. Video is not what I do, not my scene... With all that in mind, would you recommend the 6d mark. ii or wait for a 90d. Thanks for this detailed video. Very detailed indeed. Many thanks.

[@Eric_Rossi]

I dont think you'll get a ton more photo wise going to the 6d ii so I'd keep what you have. The only thing I never recommend is waiting on a camera that doesnt exist yet or isnt going to exist. If anything, I would suggest renting the 6D II to see if its worth it for you.

[@richmck007]

Eric Rossi thanks for the reply!

[@GarryBurgess]

I owned the 80D for 2 years. I upgraded to the 6D mark ii because I want to be able to use the Canon 70-200 mm f2.8 IS L lens. It's a wonderful lens but if you use it on a crop sensor camera, you have to multiply the focal length by 1.6X which is too much zoom for what I want to use it for, and really you have a DOF of f4 in that case. But after getting the 6D I notice it has much much better low light capability than the 80D. I bought it with the kit L lens, and I notice a difference in quality between this kit lens and the 80D. But these nice L lenses also come with a bigger price tag. Somehow I feel more confident with a full frame camera. And it's important to point out that the view finder in a full frame camera is bigger and brighter, so you can actually see what you want to photograph. It doesn't have the popup flash that I never used, so I like that.

[@TechnoProz]

80D all the way best camera i ever had

[@Eric_Rossi]

the 80d is an amazing camera, a lot of ppl are waiting to see what the expected 90d will be

[@jtester1357]

Hey there, I've been using my 60D since 2011 and was ready to upgrade. I had my mind set on the 80D but have also been interested in going full frame with the 6D MK ii. I currently own 1 EF lens and there 4 are EF-S lenses. I would be purchasing either camera along as well as new glass. I mainly do landscape and wildlife photography. Other than the 6D Mkii being full frame, is there any other benefits to leaving crop sensors? I wish there were more upgrades in the MKii. That would make the decision alot easier!

[@Eric_Rossi]

It doesnt sound like you need the full frame. Since you are into wildlife as well, the crop sensor helps a lot. Plus the 80D is a huge step up over the 60D in my opinion.

[@jtester1357]

Thats what I’ve been leaning toward. I would say 80% landscapes and 20% wildlife . I also take my child’s photos as well. I just don’t know if jumping to the 6d mkii is worth the extra $1000 or so. I was going to get the 16-35 f4 usm lens if I went with full frame. I do however enjoy Astro photography as well and hope the 80ds iso settings would be a large enough change from the 60d which is lacking.

[@FeedScrn]

Both of them are amazing cameras... as you say Eric. I have the 70D and the 6D Mk II.... I'm not much of a videographer... but for picture, the 6D Mk II performs better in low light... What I mean is that it will hit focus quicker because it's FF... and there is less noise in the shadows. - But wait, there's more... There's a rumor that the EOS 90D is coming out in a couple of months. Already the 6D MkII is being discounted... (great bargain, IMO)... and I'm sure that the 80D will be slashed as well. I'm a little nervous to upgrade to a 90D because I have desktop photo-editing SW... I don't want to be forced to have to pay monthly for that, just because they can't handle the newer format. So when the 90D comes out, I'll probably upgrade my 70D for an 80D.

[@Teebiskit]

FeedScrn Even if I don’t buy the 90D I’m still waiting for it if that makes sense. Curious to see what it looks like but also curious to see the price reduction on the 80D.

[@dsvl85]

why won't you migrate to fullframe?

@Feedscrn I know this post is old but still new to me as a beginner trying to figure out which camera to buy, Did you upgrade to the Canon EOS 80D ? Will you advice buying 80D over 6D Mark II ?

[@Tech1Tv]

I wanted to get 6D Mark 2 but it doesn't look much better than 77D or 80D, i guess only the full-frame is the advantage. I'll keep the 77D i have for now lol

[@Eric_Rossi]

Just comes down to your needs, but yeah if you dont want the full frame sensor, either of those are perfectly fine.

[@michaelkupfer3723]

Eric thanks so much for this detailed shootout. Very informative and to the point!

[@durupa_]

For a wedding and couples photographer who works in a tropical climate: i.e. in the sun. YES, dynamic range IS that important :D :D

[@Eric_Rossi]

for photographers in non tropical climates, dr matters as well to an extent. If you want amazing DR, Nikon wins that battle still lol

[@_jviewsfilms24]

I own a 80D for 2 years and I will tell you that I still cant believe how amazing my camera is, after seeing this video of the 6D Mark ii, it seem nothing have change is like they put the same tech of the 80d into a 6d body, smh canon is going backward instead of forward but for those who is looking for a great camera that is great for , Video, pictures, and the price, take the 80D is only cost $900

[@Eric_Rossi]

Both are great cameras and like I said, the 6D II is the full frame version of the 80D. So if you dont need/want full frame the 80D is the perfect choice!

[@ianrazey8412]

I have read that the focal points are the same on the 6d II as 80d so they are clustered together. Probably done to keep costs down.

[@karachikidsuniversityschoo4743]

Eric Rossi cannon 80d with 18.135mm is it best for photography...?

[@imagesfromLA]

I want the 80D as a second still shooting camera so bad. And it looks like a great video camera. But the deal breaker for me is only one sd card slot. My 5d3 has two slots, and that has saved me a couple of times already when one of my cards got corrupted.

theres a bit more but for cars that doesnt matter as much. Theres a lot of factors that can determine a shallow depth of field, not just sensor

[@build-a-girl]

This may be a dumb question but is 80D crop frame, the same as a iPhone 12?

[@Eric_Rossi]

not a dumb question! But no the 80D is a crop sensor, much larger then the 1 inch sensor in something like a smartphone. Not even close

[@Brenden_Hayles]

the one thing that the 80D has over the 6D is the All-i codec that offers a higher bit rate around 90mdps

[@FotoServiciosPty]

Did you have a chance to compare Shadow recovery in ISO 800 and above for both? In theory they should be about the same at ISO 400 and the 6D mark II should be better by ISO 800 and above. But its just a theory.

[@yemallc9302]

Great video Eric.. For athletic wear shoots mainly and personal vlogs.. would you recommend the canon 80d or 6D Mark 2? Thanks

[@Eric_Rossi]

Really just comes down to you, do you want full frame or not? Do you currently have lenses or a camera? Both function similarly

[@stefanbachrodt7072]

I beg to differ about the importance of the High Dynamic Range, lighting is what makes sight possible, without it we see nothing so purely due to its foundation I'd say the wider the range of lighting captured, the better.

[@michaeldidomenico7]

I liked your video and if offered me a better opinion of the new camera

[@Eric_Rossi]

thank you, glad to help!

[@fishpug450]

Hey Eric. I'm upgrading my camera from the Nikon starter Camera I have to either the 80D or 6DMii. I need it primarily for food videos. I know going ff will be great for food photography (based on advice from other food bloggers), but I am seeing mixed reviews for video. Which camera would you recommend?

[@Eric_Rossi]

go with the 80d at this point!

[@alexpuro81]

I have a 80d already I need a second body video only help me here 80d or 6d mark ii I have sigma 18-35 sigma 50 mm art canon 80-200 and canon 24-70 mark 2

[@Eric_Rossi]

Why would you feel the need for full frame? If anything, it may be smart to just get the 80D so you have matching cameras and looks

[@alexpuro81]

Eric Rossi how about low light? I shoot mostly in low light will you see better performance?

[@alexpuro81]

Eric Rossi im sorry to bother you with this question

[@Eric_Rossi]

its not bother, video is very light sensitive plus if the 80D is doing everything you need it would be an easy choice to go 80D.

[@acksonmunthali593]

Hie, planning to get an 80D, how does the auto focus perform on moving subjects?

[@BanditRAP2010]

I have a beginner Canon 1300D. I primely use it for my customers on FB and IG (food photos) and Think it’s time for an upgrade. Wich should i go for? 😊

[@Eric_Rossi]

You dont need anything crazy, the 80d would be perfect. If you want to snag the newer 90d go for it, but the 70/80d is perfect

[@smartbizwebmedia5922]

Exactly what I was wondering thanks for this video

[@Eric_Rossi]

glad to help!

[@adityachaudhary371]

I am a professional photographer and as far as I KNOW 6D mark ii is better for still photography. And. 80D is better in video shooting

[@noname-bt9ky]

Thanks sor

[@onetorino]

Thanks for the practical review / comparison. I still love my 80D, the 6D mkii doesn't have enough to differentiate, so my full frame jump may be a clean used 5D mkiv, or I'll just wait for the 5D mkv. My prediction is that we will see canon introduce quite a few new features in the 7D mkiii, including usable 4K video, which will then carry down to the 90D and every other model going forward.

[@Eric_Rossi]

5d mark v will be in 4 or 5 years lol. But the "90D" should be out in the next year and a half so I'm interested how they improve on the 80D crop wise.

[@WADZUP]

I tested the 80D and it had over heating issues and so im back on the mark for a flip screen camera that has great lowlight performance with stabilization and bonus would be having 4k. Im really surprised Sony hasnt released any date on their predecessor to the A6500 or as some call the a6700. Love to hear if you've heard an eta?

[@Eric_Rossi]

Interesting, never heard of that having heating issues, especially since it doesnt shoot 4k. But yeah, nothing known yet about the next "a6700"

[@WADZUP]

Eric Rossi I just watched a streamed video in which Sept was suggested but thats not confirmed.

[@styxnexus]

That's a nice review Eric. I have seen a lot of review videos and now I am confused. What should I take in your opinion ? a Nikon D750 or a Canon 6d mark ii ? Considering both shoot in 1080p, I am talking about the photography. Please do reply. Thanks

[@Eric_Rossi]

Stills wise, no doubt the D750

[@markshirley01]

VIKAS SINGH I'm a D750 owner it's a fantastic photography camera and even video it has a nice codec but continuous AF is none existent in video. I very rarely need continuous AF I use the AF to grab a contrast point and recompose and press record.

[@akashwalia2569]

Oh man, this is a gem of a video. However, I'm confused between buying the 77D and 80D. Need it for still photography 90% of the time. I'm not a professional, just a hobbyist. If the IQ is same, I'll go with the cheaper one. Would be so great if you could answer it.

[@Eric_Rossi]

Thank you. No doubt the 80D

[@akashwalia2569]

Eric Rossi Thanks for the reply....last question. 77D has the same sensor as 80D and a newer processor Digic 7 as opposed to Digic 6 found on the 80D. Granted that 80D has more bells and whistles, but shouldn't the IQ be the same or maybe slightly better on 77D given that it has a newer generation processor resulting in better low light and overall performance?

[@Eric_Rossi]

Nah the 77D is rated lower, just go with the 80D

[@fabianstrasser2719]

Good review Mr. Rossi ! I do think DNR isn´t the most important feature in this camera but it´s a little bit annoying that Canon is so left behind the state-of-the-art sensors from Sony in Sony/Nikon-Cams.

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks man

[@tm4tare]

80D would be my choice but really want to see what the 90D has to offer when it becomes avaiable

[@Eric_Rossi]

I think thats still about another year out so we will see. the 70/80D cycle is about 2 years

[@cuLiref]

Hello, What do you suggest? I got a t5i and looking forward to make a heavy leap when I have the money. I do mostly NIGHT VIDEOGRAPHY so I reaaally need that low light capability. I've gathered that it isn't wise to move from crop to crop (so I'm gonna leave the 80d out of this) rather keep buying lenses that would do until one has the money to go all-in full frame. Which would you suggest? The 6D mii, the Sony a7sii or the 5d m iii. I really don't care about 4k, low light and AF are the priority here. Thanks

[@Eric_Rossi]

well no doubt the better low light will be the sony a7s ii. hands down. But it also night videography you cant just rely on ISO, so light is needed regardless. So if you have good light, most of these will be fine. But video alone, a7s. But also do you need a tilt or flip screen?

[@cuLiref]

Eric Rossi Yes sir, I think flip touch screen would be an advantage because of over-the-head capture on a tripod. So you suggest i get a good light and continue using my t5i until I'm comfortable with sparing bucks for another cam?

[@Eric_Rossi]

lenses are very important, mostly over the cameras. But the t5i I know isnt the best for low light. Just comes down to what you can spend and what you want. Maybe a fast lens would be good in the mean time. But for a flip screen, theres really only Canon at that point.

[@cuLiref]

Eric Rossi alright... Thanks so much for your time. I really appreciate

[@Eric_Rossi]

anytime!

[@Emerson_-vv8vr]

Nice comparison. I currently have an 80D and am looking to go full frame. Would you recommend I go the 6DMKii, or perhaps consider another system?

[@Eric_Rossi]

what are you looking to shoot? What limitations, besides just wanting full frame, is the 80D giving you? Do you need or want dual slots, dual pixel af etc?

[@kab4]

Maybe Canon needs to make one single (amateurish) body (same button layout)(different from the 5D & 1D), but with different internals & abilities so you will know what one you need for the type of shooting you do.

[@Eric_Rossi]

all companies should do that but they sadly never will

[@Siwy22020]

Thanks for a video Eric !

[@Eric_Rossi]

anytime!

[@fredrikmartensson9148]

I thought I came across.. Canon supposedly has better DR when pulling back the information in the highlights. Can that be why the 6D2 is exposing brighter? IMO it would be nice to see a test recovering highlights with the 6D2

[@Eric_Rossi]

But people arent crying about the highlights, they mainly want the shadow information

[@KittyCow]

I am thinking of selling/trading my 80D for the 6D mark ii. I don't really use video, I just want a camera that works better in low light without having the pay much more such as the 5D Mark iv

[@Eric_Rossi]

whats your budget? Do you want full frame or crop? What ISO have you been stuck at that you need better?

[@KittyCow]

@@Eric_Rossi my budget is 1000-1600. I prefer full frame, and my ISO I have been stuck at 3200, anything past that 80D is not that good in low light. I am really considering the 6D Mark ii

[@Eric_Rossi]

honestly for most cameras, without any lighting or flash used, 3200-6400 is the highest before you lose IQ. So thats not that bad actually.

[@KittyCow]

@@Eric_Rossi but having a camera like a nikon d4 kills it on low light performance, do you think I should save up the budget or it being ok to switch from the 80d to the 6d mark ii

[@Eric_Rossi]

I dont think its worth the switch, plus you need to factor in full frame lenses. But the budget you gave wouldnt fit the higher end market which does render that a bit better. I wouldnt worry much, if anything invest in a flash and you can lower your ISO

[@alfa170d]

Interesting video, what interest me is you feelings, so far is the 6DII stood well and fulfilled your expectations ? are you going to keep it ? will you keep your 80D ?

[@Eric_Rossi]

I believe I'll sell my 80D, no need for it really. I enjoy full frame much more.

[@alfa170d]

Eric Rossi I hear yah, I am addicted to full frame since I got my D750. It's interesting though that the 80D is a very much liked camera while the 6DII which pretty much is a FF version of this camera is not. I think you doing the right thing for your needs. Enjoy it buddy 😊

[@Eric_Rossi]

its just people wanting to be upset about something lol

[@sprytnyryszard]

Eric, what app and settings did You render this video? Your face when You test autofocus was always sharp. I can do that to my video (with 80D and 10-22 and 24-105/4) but after uploading to YT, it looks unsharp. Thanks for any advice!

[@Eric_Rossi]

nothing special, you mean in camera or on export?

[@GikaPradanaChannel]

wow thanks! it looks like enough for me to upgrading from lumix G7, which an amazing video mirrorless camera. for me, upgrading from micro 4/3 sensor to fullframe would be a nice upgrade. I shoot a lot of video for my job. do you think canon 6d mark 2 can beat my old lumix g7 in terms of video? i dont have any problem with this dynamic range. I love canon color, and no matter what people said, I didnt like sony color. thanks

[@Eric_Rossi]

oh 100%

[@sooovann8908]

In terms of sharpness, the Panasonic beats the crap out of the Canon 6D mark II. However, as far as SOOC color rendition and AF, the Canon is better. Also, don't forget you won't be able to use your viewfinder anymore while shooting videos and the Canon doesn't have focus peaking so using manual focus lenses is difficult.

[@dansuper6103]

Sooovann no the Panasonic doesn’t beat the crap out of the 6d

[@sooovann8908]

Dan Super of course it does. 6D mark II has one of the worst 1080p video I have seen from a newly released camera.

[@TheDetherageDialect]

I would rather have a GH4/5 than a Canon 6D/80D hands down...and I have a 80D lol

[@morganahmed6245]

So which one has a fast AF in LOW LIGHT ( canon 80d or Nikon D750)...as the fast AF Is the most important for me plus which one has a fast AF in the live view mode in images still not video....hope u answer me sir :)

[@Eric_Rossi]

The D750 would edge out the 80d a bit

[@gitmeyedegermi]

Hi Eric. I want 90D or 6D II. Which is better for photography?

[@Eric_Rossi]

they are both pretty much similar, just depends what lenses you have and if you want to be with a crop or full frame sensor.

[@maxfactor4209]

thanks alot Eric, very informative

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks man

[@bamsemh1]

Going in caves and close to waterfalls. 80d or 6d? I see most people just focus on the great weather details, but nobody talks about the all year usage. I have 2000d for now, but I'm thinking about a weather resistant budget camera.

[@Eric_Rossi]

80D most likely

[@CrisConstantin]

Great video. Canon's dp af is gorgeous, but for me that's pretty much it. Holding back year after year will eventually turn against them. Hopefully they will realize that soon and start making amazing cameras like they should. Besides that the price point seems a little bit steep for the casual ff user. I don't see this a full pro camera but hey who am I to judge. I used Canon for a short period of my photographer life and didn't like. Again great mini review. Glad you like it man!

[@Eric_Rossi]

thanks, yeah its not turning heads but Canon isnt trying to lol. Dumb move but they have a built in user base, just like Nikon. But Nikon is trying at least a bit more.

[@Fake_Joker69]

Which one is best for closeups like for portrait photography?

[@Eric_Rossi]

no real difference honestly, just comes down to the lens

[@gospro472]

Im using 6d right now full frame. Is it okay if i downgrade to 80d ?

[@Eric_Rossi]

its not that much of a downgrade at all! I would suggest looking into the newer 90D if in your budget

[@makeuptimewithkelly8385]

I'm starting a makeup channel on here and I am shopping for my first camera. I have it kind of narrowed down to these two cameras but still don't know which one I should buy? Which one will be better for doing makeup videos/tutorials? I'm leaning more towards the 6D over the 80D. But I know nothing about cameras so any advice would be highly appreciated!!!

[@Eric_Rossi]

You honestly dont need much, an 80D with a good lens is perfect. A good ring light is a great choice for lighting too

[@makeuptimewithkelly8385]

Eric Rossi thank you!

[@genysys1511]

Apsc is enough for make up videos since most of the time you are close to the face of the subject. Except if you take full body shot with a wider background then ff is better

[@henrym78]

6d Mark II vs X-H1 for 1080p video? Which one you prefer?

[@Eric_Rossi]

For what I would like, features wise and such I would take the 6D II. The X-H1 has a few better options though plus IBIS. I just like the flip screen that canon offers. But you get a bit more with the Fuji.

[@jaytcapinpin]

Hey Eric, Thanks for the review. I currently own the 80D, I love the camera however my goal is to enter the full frame world. I'd like to keep my 80D because I really enjoy shooting video with it. Would you recommend the original 6D in 2017 or save up and go for the 6D Mark II?

6D is a great camera, pretty affordable. If you arent interested in the 6d mark 2, ever look into a used 5D Mark 3?

Would love your thoughts… I like the “bells and whistles” on 6Dm2, as it’s similar to what I’ve grown accustomed to on 80D (articulating screen, wifi, etc).
