Canon 80D for Video

[@tessaviolet]

WOW. This is a great review. Really sold me on the 80d.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks Tessa!

[@PeterFreitag]

Sony is better for Video!

[@hiimnewt]

if you could record more than 30 minutes yes

[@PeterFreitag]

EL ED any Canon DSRL can only record max. 30 min. The new Panasonic GH5 has no videotime limit!

[@hiimnewt]

PeterFreitag​ so does the gh4

[@anthonyguivas8459]

Another great thing about this camera is how amazingly durable it is. It is an absolute tank!

[@RayOrtega]

Yes, the 80D is built very well and is one reason to choose it over the Rebel series although those aren't bad IMO.

[@ClarkdeBear]

Brilliant video! No nonsense, informative and right to the point. Precisely what I was looking and hoping for. You've got a new subscriber. Thanks, very much!

The best and the most useful Canon 80D review that I have seen so far.

I love my 80D. Use it almost exclusively for shooting head to camera video. The face tracking AF never lets me down. Great video!

@Ilir Cami Yes! It’s fantastic!

Another great video, Ray. Thanks. I got the 80D a little while ago but appreciate your insights and will get the 28 mm lens you mentioned. Keep up the great work, Mike

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks Mike! I really love the 35mm as well cause it's f2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/an6YaHSleL-Ym7s

[@patbollin]

Thanks for doing this, Ray. I just bought a 70D kit after it dropped in price when the 80D kits were coming into my local Sam's Club. Part of me kept wondering if I should have gone ahead and shelled out the extra for the 80D kit instead, but I really wanted to save the money. This video helped me feel more comfortable with my purchase, and I learned a lot of extra bits on top of that.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks Pat! I think you made the right choice. The 70D is just about as good and you're unlikely to miss the additions of the 80D. They're nice to have but not required.

[@luisvlogs5560]

Best review of the Canon 80D, hands down!!! Very detailed and informative. Almost have enough saved up for this versatile beast! Ended up selling my T5i.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks!!

[@carls.2649]

Man, this is a great working review. And that rack focus from one pint to another is so sharp and smooth from the touch screen, you almost think it's 4k. That, plus being able to adjust the focus speed is a great little perk. So many nice features that fit what I want (upgrading from the Rebels), even though it's a bit annoying looking at a new 1200 dollar body with no 4k. Again, great stuff. Cheers!

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks, Carl. Focus on this cam is quite nice indeed. I agree, should have 4K at this price point but some of the other cams with 4K don't do everything this does so it's always a push and pull. Appreciate the comments!

[@josephstahl5998]

Magic lantern on my Canon 7d takes it from a pain to use to a great video camera. The addition of focus peaking, zebras, audio level display, and focus magnification and confirmation.

[@RayOrtega]

Yes, having those features are so helpful and ML is really cool.

[@JeremyGalloway]

I now have a Sony a6500 and a 70D and trying to decide which I should keep... you're one of the few convincing me that Canon may be worth keeping around!

[@rayafahreza]

Been shooting with a couple of 60Ds for years, and was about to buy a Sony a7S or a GH4 until I saw reviews on the 80D. Your review adds on more insights into the camera, thank you so much.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks Raya. I have the 60D and still shoot it for all these videos. I would love an a7sII and will probably move to Sony next but it's hard to give up my 180 degree screen.

[@Fiberific]

I am so glad it isn't just me who forgets the audio ;) I have the 70D and am very happy with it... this whole thing is pretty new to me so I haven't really hit any limits on my equipment yet. Massive learning curve. love a good learning curve , awesome vid thanks Ray! ;)

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks! And good luck. The key is to just shoot, make mistakes so you can see what the "wrong" way looks like. Have fun with it, just shoot and you'll do great! And make sure you hit that subscribe button and turn on the notifications so you never miss a video and keep learning;)

[@securityranger773]

Thanks Ray... another fine review! Been waiting to pull the trigger on this or the 70D. You're input was timely!

Thanks Gary, glad this helped. I like both cams but obviously you get a couple more great features with the 80D.

[@kar-unboxed]

I think you can magnify to check focus. Just it doesn't work on AF Tracking mode. Works on other modes.

[@odendahlc]

Hi Ray Love the videos that you put out there. I have resently purchased a Canon 80D. I have referred to your videos to learn more of the functions of this camera. I took up the challenge to find the HDR movie mode. I found it when the camera is on SCN mode. when the camera is in live view an icon comes up on the right hand side. Hit the Q and touch the icon. One cool feature I have learned is that the auto focus follows your finger while dragging it across the screen while recording. I was at a wedding reording the head table with a shallow depth of field. As I ran my finger from one end of the table to the other end each person would focus. Try that with a Sony 6300. I know every camera has there strengths, this just happens to be one of the Canon 80d.

[@RayOrtega]

Yeah that focus follow with finger is a great option and thanks for the HDR mode find. I saw a good video on here from the comments that shows the mode. Nothing to write home about but glad to find it.

[@wildlaborg]

Thanks Peter! I'm still on my 60D as well;) I want to move to Sony but they just haven't made the cam I need for shooting these types of KZbin vids.

[@PeterNasello]

I think we both are in a similar boat then ... The A7R 2 was the closest one to bring me over, I know the image quality would be leaps and bounds ahead but I'm just not sure I can handle some of its quarks. All that said though, my clients are totally content with 60d image quality for wedding work, so why rock the boat.

Ha, that I looked like a golfer? Which one? or I just seem like I would golf..cause I do;)

[@eba6861]

Because of the outfit, lol. Definitely look like you would golf. I love and used to play a lot of golf too. Hey Ray, I got a question for 80D. For its Timelapse mode, is it possible to customize the shutter speed? Like, during the night, you would want to get longer shutter speed to do the time lapse. Thanks

[@RayOrtega]

Oh man, I don't recall but I feel like if you set your shutter speed then set the time lapse duration it should use that shutter speed but I also feel like there wasn't as much control as I would of liked. So basically, cause I sent the cam back, I'm no help;) I'm looking online but not finding it. And now I'm smacking my head for not remembering! Fail.

[@hen913]

I so badly want to upgrade to a 70D from my 60D just for the autofocus. It's great to see that you're still working with it tho.

Thanks for commenting on this old video! It made me go back and watch the entire thing and got to see so many great memories! This cam, in terms of 1080p is still very good. You could certainly do a whole youtube channel with it and I think my comments in the section re: 4K are still pretty relevant. I think most of youtube is still 1080p so I don't think not having 4K would be a deal breaker if you were able to get this cam for a great price.

I haven't used the M50 but I did do two videos on the M6 which is in the same series of camera, here's the review kzbin.info/www/bejne/pn3Tl4CYbq-BiZY you'll have to compare specs to the M50 to see how close they are but I mention in this video how the M6 is basically the mirrorless version of the 80D.

Nope, no 4K. That is one of the downers of this cam. Get an adapter for your Canon lenses and use em all!;)

Excellent review. What kind of lens were you using on your 60D to record this video and which would you recommend for funny youtube videos please? I've been filming with the stock 18-55 kit lens for 3 years now and dont know what to move to. We can't really use a prime lens like a 50 as we need to much distance from the subject and we need to zoom in and out pretty quickly. Many thanks!

Hi Ray, great clip. Appreciate your time. One question, can the 80d video while using the view finder (eye piece), or does it only work with the screen on. Just thinking. For those bright days where looking at the screen becomes hard to see. Thanks again Tony.

[@RayOrtega]

A DSLR won't use the viewfinder because it has a mirror which flips up when in video mode so just the LCD is available. In a mirrorless cam you get both.

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks. As far as lighting goes, you just really need one big soft source and that will handle 90% of what you are trying to do. Use a large window or an affordable large umbrella or softbox light.

Love your videos! Been binge watching them all day! I just switched over to the Canon 80D from the Canon T7i. I’m a videographer for a famous baseball KZbinr Zack Hample. I shoot a lot of game action as well batting practice. In addition, I shoot Zack in front of the camera for the intros and the close and talking segments throughout the video. Should I be shooting in 24fps,30fps or 60fps. Or switching between them depending on what I’m shooting? I have been shooting in 30fps but when the ball is thrown or hit it looks more like a shooting star with a tail that’s jittery. Almost like it can’t keep up. Also having issue which exposure often going from sunlight to ballpark lights. Should I be constantly white balancing? What can I do to fix that? His KZbin channel is Zack Hample if you wanna take a look at what we shoot. Any advice would be a tremendous help! -Chris

Questions: The 80D has the wifi capability on the VIDEO now which is new, 70D did only pictures right? Also what is the maximum video shooting time length on 1080?

[@michaelkern3188]

Awesome review, Ray! Only question I have is this perception about .mov vs. .mp4 - Far as I've always understood it, they're both nearly identical h.264 compression flavors, with no real discernible difference. You're seeing that .mov is giving you more DR or overall image quality?

[@RayOrtega]

Thanks Michael! I believe the .mov in this case records the ALL-I compression vs standard or IPB which are more compressed and the bitrate is not as high as .mov which I think goes up to 90Mbps vs 60 or less in mp4 IPB. But you may be right since I didn't see much of a difference.

[@edwinchan09876]

Hi Ray, great work on the Canon 80D, well-detailed review! I got a question for you: Since I have a 7 years old canon 7D with 15-85kit and a canon 35mm f2 Should i get a canon 80D body to upgrade? Budget is a one of the deciding factor. Or should i get a Sony A6000 for a much compact camera? Many thanks! Edwin.

[@RayOrtega]

I don't know that you'll see a dramatic increase in image quality over the 7D. It's likely better but not by a lot. But the autofocus and 1080p 60 are nice features to have. The A6000 is great too and shoots very nice video even though I much prefer the A6300 cause you get more including 4K but you won't be able to use your Canon lenses with the Sony unless you buy an adapter which is another cost.
