CANON 80D - Why is This a Great Camera (5 REASONS)

[@cptmuffy]

I still have my Canon 80D, despite I had an R6 and a 6DMII. I still love it for travel. It's small, light, and portable, and the picture quality is wonderful and serves my needs. I've tried to sell it several times only to hold on to it longer. I love it too much. It's my most used camera.

[@mareksykora3891]

I bought 80D a month ago... I already had 7D and 6D mk II... I'm using FF for family events, travelling an macro with heavy big L-lenses... APS-C is still my favourite choice for light trips, combined with pancakes 24 and 40, perfect combo for me... 7D stopped to fit my needs mainly because of missing touch control and swivel screen, but is still capable and producing nice photos in good light condition... FF is definitely better, better colors, better details

[@apertureatlas]

I also had a 7D, years ago. It was a great camera for its time (released in 2009). It brings nostalgia now, when I think of it. The missing touch control and swivel screen was also the reason why I replaced it. The 80D is great, but, indeed, a modern FF camera will always bring better images when comparing it to an APS-C.

[@mareksykora3891]

@@apertureatlas I had 7D with 17-55/2.8 and took many wonderful pictures of my small daughter... in that years I tried 5D mk II and this camera was not able to track my child, I missed many shots so decided for crop... original 7D still has better AF then 80D... ages before I had eos 30 and max iso 400 film, so iso 1600 on 7D was a miracle! now we can buy many RF cameras with eye tracking... still cannot decide and keep slr as long as possible... main reason is also my license of LR 6.14 which supports both 80D and 6D :) I like R6 but together with 24-105/4L and new LR subscription is quite expensive for me...

[@meamjustme]

Gonna pick one up in a few hours. Was going to get a 77d mainly for the higher ISO options. The weather sealing is dropped wich is not a problem for me. However, yesterday i looked into a battery grip wich my 550d has had installed for about 10 years. And the 77D just does not support a proper one. That is such a dealbreaker for me. So, 80d it is. Excited to get a "new" body after so many years. 550d is going to my daughter for her 8th bday. Yeah she's young for a dslr. But why get a lesser one if ican find an excuse to get her something decent while upgrading myself. :P But in short. Nobody talks about the options for battery grip. But once i had one i knew i will always want one. Not having the option to install it later would be really annoying to find out after a purchase.

[@apertureatlas]

You made a good decision! While the 77D is also good, the 80D is better in all aspects. Enjoy it! Cheers!

[@speecher1959]

I loved my 80D, and traded it in only because I wanted to go full frame. My only complaint was the goofy built-in flash. I don't think that I used it even once.

[@apertureatlas]

There is a point when it is a good idea to own a full frame camera - when you think the moment arrived, you can`t go wrong with that decision. The built-in flash, I agree, is a bit goofy. What`s surprising... even the 90D has one. In the last 10 years, I barely touched built-in flashes - only used external ones.

[@mcpuipuia6350]

My friend lend me hi 80d and he got me in videography.. been a year and I'm getting better

That friend gave you something more than just a 80D for a couple of days, since you developed a passion for videography. You now have a way to express yourself and to tell stories - this will lead to a much more fulfilling life. A friend also inspired me to start doing photography, more than 10 years ago. I am forever grateful to him and will never forget the positive impact he had on my life. Enjoy videography, enjoy telling stories! All the best!

[@apertureatlas]

What about it?

[@mongolianlivegaming4fun892]

I have Canon 80D dslr camera, it is a decent camera for photography. Recently I started thinking to do vlogging and had encountered some issues. For instance, canon 80D is a bulky and heavy to do vlog and youtube videos. I don't know what kind of tripod, or any other accessory to buy to record selfie videos while walking at the streets. Maybe Sony EV-10 is a good choice for youtube and vlog, i am in frustration. Should I buy Sony EV-10 or stay with 80d and figure out how to deal with tripods and stabilizers.

[@apertureatlas]

From what I know, many famous KZbinrs used the 80D, it is a great camera, but, indeed, it is quite big and heavy. If you are doing vlogs and talk, mostly, inside the house, putting b-roll on top of what you`re saying, the 80D is fine - you just leave it on a tripod. But if you`re carrying it everywhere and film yourself on the go, it`s better to just get that Sony EV-10 (that has a lighter body and lenses).

[@PVMMAC]

Great video! Does the video mode with 3-10x digital zoom, still have DPAF autofocus work it?

[@apertureatlas]

Thanks! I conducted a test on my Canon 80D, and I can confidently say that Dual Pixel AF remains active when using the 3-10x digital zoom mode. Despite not finding any information on the internet about this specific feature, my familiarity with the camera leads me to believe otherwise. The impressive speed at which the 80D focuses in video mode, even with 3 or 10x digital zoom enabled, strongly suggests that Dual Pixel AF is indeed active.

[@Zhenya44]

Отличный обзор!

[@Bulishi1990]

I came across your video about this camera because I'm looking for something to start my adventure with photography. I can buy a used one for $460 just the body. its ok? ;) and buy new lens ef50mm1.8stm. OR buy a6100 ? mainly for portraits, a wall at home and some background, Christmas sessions etc. THANKS!

[@apertureatlas]

$460 is a fair price for a used 80D, just make sure that camera has a low shuttercount. It should have under 100k shots - as much as possible. For most cameras, the manufacturers promise a shutter lifespan of (at least) 100k shots. If it has 30k or 60k it is ok (ask the seller). When it comes to image quality, the A6100 is a bit better than the 80D (A6100 is a more recent camera). The A6100 is also more portable, smaller - but when it comes to photos, the lens is as important as the camera. Both cameras are good, you can`t go wrong with them, but for portraits at home (having less space to move around), you should have two lenses: the 50mm and another wide angle lens. Here, for the Canon camera, there are cheaper (and easier to find used) lenses. These are my thoughts. Hope they help!

[@OrangeJungle]

Look at my vids they all shot on canon 80 D with varying lenses

[@normanq1206]

In my experience, Canon outputs more pleasing images straight out of camera without the need for too much editing. I have a 5d Classic and a Sony A6400. I tend to pick the 5d more than my Sony.

I'm looking at buying my first camera and was highly suggested to buy the 80d. My only concern was that I want a camera mainly for videography and some photography. Is it worth getting this camera and not a higher end sony camera with 4k resolution?

[@apertureatlas]

If the 80D is your first camera, that`s a good start! My first ever camera didn`t even record video. For what you need, there are 3 main things to consider with the 80D: 1. It has a bigger body/heavier body than a mirrorless camera (if you are planning to film for long, better get a mirrorless camera) 2. No 4k recording (if you really need it), but you can do some upscaling in postprocessing 3. Weather-sealed body - if you`re shooting in harsh conditions, you won`t find a cheaper good camera (I assume that you are buying a used 80D) For video, I would personally get the cheapest-good option out there: A Canon R10 (the price dropped a bit, it has 4k, 10bit video, but no weather sealing) + EF to EOS R mount adapter (that allows me to mount cheaper dslr lenses on it). In my opinion, Canon has the best colors and the most reliable focusing system. Look at your budget and needs and then choose. Either way, both are good.

[@NiaGeeh]

@@apertureatlas thank you so much! after watching as few videos, I found the 90D solved the 4k concern, i like the build and its functions and i think i will end up going with a 90D. I might look through your videos to see if you have a review on it. Thank you so much for the feedback

[@apertureatlas]

@@NiaGeeh I didn`t yet reviewed the 90D, but it definitely is a great camera: weather sealed body, good control, excellent image quality and 4k recording with no crop. The only downside is the size and weight, but, being a Canon dslr, it allows you to quickly find cheap good-lenses.

[@NiaGeeh]

@@apertureatlas Thanks to you, i spent the whole night researching the R10 and now i feel like i want to head towards that way LOL thank you so much bro

@@NiaGeeh No problem! There will always be a better camera out there, we just have to find the one that best suits our needs and also has a low price (especially if it is our first camera). The R10, indeed, is the best one at image quality (photography+vidoegraphy).

[@apertureatlas]

For this camera, I believe this is not possible. I haven't seen Canon 80D photos with date and time on them, set, by default, by the camera. Please also search on Google words like : "How do I add the date and time to my pictures?" or " How do I add the date and time to my pictures? canon" . There are some articles there, but didn't found anything specifically about the Canon 80D. Look at the articles, look at your camera's menu carefully - if its nothing there, in the menu, with "Date Stamp" it probably doesn't have it.

I want to change my 6d mark ii with an 80d. Is it right choice?

Hi! I don't think so. The 6D Mark II is a Full Frame sensor camera, it has better image quality, handles low light situations much better (iso performance). Also, the 6D Mark II is better at focusing and a newer camera 2017 vs 2016. So, for this situation, I wouldn't make any changes.

[@apertureatlas]

Yes, it has its limitations on noise because of the crop sensor, but it shows good results at ISOs up to 1250. The lack of 4k, now available on the 90D, can be "fixed" with a good video editor like Da Vinci Resolve`s Super Scale function. It works great for upscaling Full HD videos to 4k.

What I don't like is because it is very heavy
