45-point phase-detection all cross-type (19-point).
Because the company’s products have never (not once) let me down, and the results are continually good.Ī quick look at the main 80D specs, which if you’re an enthusiast you already read several times last night: Canon EOS 80D Whatever it is… the Canon has always delivered for me. Silly arthouse projects ( Only Art Forgives). On some recent videos I’ve used a Canon C100 Mark II cinema camera. I’ve now shot hundreds and hundreds of videos on Canon DSLR, with most over the past two years being shot on the Canon 70D. Yes, there’s other exciting cameras out there in this price class, notably the Panasonic GH4 and the new Sony a6300 (I own an a6000 and love it), but when it comes to the total package - durability, lens selection, focus technology, image quality, battery life, reliability - it’s really, really hard to beat Canon. Thanks to that camera’s trick Dual Pixel auto-focus - that works supremely well for auto-tracking moving subjects - I believe it will go down in history as one of Canon’s best. Year after year I moved up the Canon chain, from the T2i to a 60D, then, in 2013, to the 70D. Still have that camera (running Magic Lantern firmware), and use it as a b-cam. For Stark Insider videos, I invested in a Canon T2i. I’ve been shooting on Canon for as long as I can remember. On that latter point, I believe if video is your thing, there is no better camera on planet earth than the 70D or 80D. Images can be astonishing (glass is important!). Nevertheless, the 80D, and certainly still the almost three-year-old 70D, are extremely capably cameras. It slots in between cheaper Rebel DSLRs (such as the T6i/T6s, etc.) and below “pro” models such as the vaunted 5D series and upcoming 4K-capable 1DX. Yes, this is technically a “mid-range” camera. Set to ship in March, and priced at $1,299 USD (body only) and $1,799 (with updated 18-135mm kit lens), is this the new “mid-range” DSLR to get?įirst things first, if you’re like me, take all the marketing and positioning terminology with a grain of salt. So, the wraps are off the brand new, eagerly anticipated Canon EOS 80D. It’s nice to know the storied company can still keep us on our toes. Not be releasing the successor to its ever popular EOS 70D DSLR camera, but giving it to us early.
