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

I have been using Canon DSLRs since 2008, from XSi to T3i, 60D, 70D and now 80D. I also used 6D MKII and Sony A7III. For pure image quality, these two full-frame lenses excel. BUT: AF is more comfortable with the 80D than with the 6D MKII, since the 45 points are more spread out. Focusing is even faster on the A7III, although autofocus on this camera (with the right lenses - check out the new USM lenses!) is very fast. The reasons I chose THIS over the A7III: FULLY ROTATING AND FULL TOUCHSCREEN! Dual Pixel Live View AF THAT HANDLE! The fact that it uses the same battery as my 70D, 60D and 5D series. The fact that it comes with a real CHARGER! Yongnuo flashes work just as well as they do on the 70D (so not perfect, but good enough). gh) The fact that my flashes/triggers work properly with this camera and NOT with the A7III. The fact that I can drop this camera and not think twice about it. inside when you're transporting the camera/not using Live View and KNOW the screen is protected. The fact that this camera NEVER overheats. The optical viewfinder is superior to the Sony's electronic viewfinder, except for the fact that you can preview your exposure, although on this camera you can do that in real time if you want. I prefer visual. It's true that in low light you can see through the Sony's electronic viewfinder when you see inky blackness on the OVF BUT the image from the EVF is noisy and when it's that dark around you you should have flashes/flashes use or just don't shoot. The built-in flash works much better than before. ) and there are much cheaper options for Canon than Sony, although Sony lenses are mirrorless specific and much sharper. Great used/aftermarket lenses. And other accessories LOTS of useful accessories / 3rd party and OEM for Canon. I can carry the 80D with a long lens just by the handle all day and my hand doesn't get tired while at Sony I want to put it down in 5 minutes. ONE CARD SLOT! THIS IS MUCH SIMPLE. I thought 2 card slots was a MUST because I was told that by the "pros" on YT, but for the amateur it's really just PEET. I MUCH prefer the super fast way I can switch memory cards and batteries on the 80D over the Sony and others. LENS RELEASE BUTTON; on the A7III it's between the lens and the grip and on the 80D it's on the opposite side (where it belongs!). Lens change much faster. Sensor Protection - The 80D has a mirror that stays in place when changing lenses. Sony and other mirrorless cameras have a bare sensor that's open to the world when you remove the lens, except for the EOS R and I think the Nikon Z7 and Z6 twins, which lose shutter when the lens is removed becomes. Battery door - on the 80D, you open it, take out the battery, put a new one in - put it in, of course, btw) and slam the door. close, job done. With the Sony, you have to hold a tiny latch when you close the door. But the memory card door works like Canon, so why consistently? REACH-So on this frame/APS-C sensor camera a 70-200 lens becomes/looks/behaves etc. etc. A 112-320! This gives you 60% more range. At the wide end you can of course do without changes, but in any case the length is better than the width. AND THE MAIN REASON: THE PRICE! The 6D MKII is now $1299 with a free (current Canon) battery grip. BUT it originally cost $2,000! A7III is ONLY $2000! Yes I know it's $1,998 but if you add the tax it will be over $2,000! And when you add two decent lenses, say the $4 4KI could buy a refurbished 80D and two lenses for $1450. With charger! That's how I saved about $2,550, which is enough to pay for a happy vacation when I can use my new camera! Or I buy a Sony and just stay at home and take pictures of my walls. For me, with my long history as a Canon DSLR owner and my needs, the 80D just makes sense. Highly recommended!
