Review on 📷 Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera Body - 24.2MP APS-C CMOS Sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF (Black) by Joe Gosa

- BUILD QUALITY - So let's first look at the build quality and design of the Canon 80d. I've been testing the 80d for some time now and immediately felt comfortable with it. This is because the case itself hasn't changed much from the old 70d I've been using for about 2 years. However, there are a few new things that have changed. The buttons on the back of the camera are different and much easier to use. They're a little more pronounced, which is nice. The handle itself is nice. It's not a very heavy camera like the Canon 5d or 6d, but it's also light enough to easily work with a heavier lens like the Sigma 18-35mm, which I also use. On the side of the camera you'll also notice a new port, the headphone jack, which I'll cover in a moment. But overall the build quality is fantastic and for me it's the perfect size for a DSLR. When I first heard about the new Canon 80d, I didn't expect the menu system to change. But it is so. It's a bit more compact now and uses the new tab system instead of the old system. It took me a while to get used to it, but it seems pretty easy. Luckily, it's not too overloaded with options, especially for beginners, but putting it in manual mode gives you a lot more room to experiment. LCD SCREEN. One of the best features of the old Canon 70d was the touchscreen and I'm happy to report that the Canon 80d is just as good. Since the Canon 80d has such fantastic autofocus, a touchscreen really makes things easier, especially if you want to do some nice focus moves. I use it almost overtime, I make videos and do these product tricks from time to time. The 80's screen is also movable, of course, I can't live without it. Being able to switch it to any angel is awesome, especially for someone like me who makes all of his own videos. It's also a fairly large LCD screen, especially compared to a smaller camera like the Sony A6300, which I like. This is definitely one of the best LCD screens I've ever used. AUTOFOCUS. One thing that has really impressed me about the new 80d is the autofocus performance. And to be honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. That's because the Canon 70d's dual-pixel autofocus was so good. But Canon seems to be able to do it faster and a little more accurately. Especially when using the LCD on the back. It's incredibly fast autofocus and when you're using one of Canon's dedicated lenses it's really impressive. I've even used it with my Sigma lenses and it's pretty consistent across the board. - VIDEO - The Canon 70d is now one of the most popular camcorders of the last 2 years, and with good reason. The dual pixel autofocus system was by far the best. But a few things were missing. First, it could only record 60fps at 720p. Now I'm not a big fan of shooting in 60p, but I was impressed. If you would like to see the test video I recorded at 60 fps, click here to watch. I really didn't expect the dual pixel autofocus to be better than the 70d, but it is. Which is pretty incredible. Fast focusing via the touchscreen is great, and face tracking works very well. However, there are occasional problems when wearing a hat or sunglasses. To be fair it has to be said that the Canon 80d is still a bit behind in terms of resolution. There are a lot of 4k resolution cameras out there now and it would be nice if they were included but I didn't expect it to be fair. Although it's still only 1080p, the video quality was good and I'll definitely be switching from my 70d to the 80d for my future videos. - HEADPHONE JACK - One of my favorite new additions to the Canon 80d is that little insert on the side here, the headphone jack. It's something so fundamental that so many Canon DSLRs haven't had it for so long, and it's nice to see. If you shoot a lot, 80d will definitely choose the worst upgrade.
