I researched a long time before purchasing my next DSLR. I ended up with the 80D and shoot amateur sports mostly. I love my 80D! The best comment I got was a new parent said "Our old team had a photographer, but her photos are nothing like your photos!". The only downside I can see is if you want 4K video, which wasn't a dealbreaker for me.
@@RyanPutranto lol Yeah, those points are true. Of course there's no camera that comes anywhere close to hitting the same price point with those features. "There are a few downsides, it doesn't handle like a Lotus, doesn't accelerate like a Porsche, or have the interior of a Bentley." True, and it cost the same as a Toyota Camry. lol
Thanks for your video, very informative. I have the 60D and the 70D and for six months now can't stop thinking about the 80D. The only reason I haven't bought it is I thought Canon would come out with a 90D and I would skip the 80 just knowing the 90 would have it all. But I suppose they came up with the EOS R instead which costs 3 or four times more, so I'm thinking of the body of a 80D and and better 75 to 300 zoom lens instead of the kit lens, i really see the difference in a kit lens and a better lens, but not sure which one i only have two lens one is 18 to 135 which is a must, and a little bit better than the 75 to 300 kit lens. I do arial photography, hummingbirds, lots of sports, races motorcycles and sprint cars, and flowers, and astrophotoghy, that lens is a 8" over 2,000mm for the moon and clusters and nova's, but I also want a good lens for the milky way without the telescope lens, if you could recommend a good lens, that would nice. I thank you
Got my 80D 5 years ago and I love it. I need to upgrade to a camera for 4K video, but for my photo needs I have no problem keeping this camera in my rotation especially in situations where I don't want to put more expensive gear at risk.
Got my 80D in February 2019, using mostly L series lenses. It has taken some of my best photos so far. Also has great video also and I don’t need 4K video. For the price it is a great camera.
In my 20’s I was a wedding photographer and worked in a local camera shop. Just recently retired and NEEDED to find something to do. My wife said I should get back into photography. The 80D was my purchase. Coming from a Bronica 6X7, modern cameras have features that will take me years to learn. Half the fun is learning the new features that I can utilize.
For the level the photography I am at now, extremely happy. I started in the early 70's with Canon F1. Total of 3. Always happy with Canon. Love my 80D, but if the 90D has 4K will purchase.
I am a wedding photographer and I have been shooting eos 80d since 2016 and I want to upgrade and am looking at buying the old eos 6D bcos it's a fullframe body but am confuse.... Should I buy the 6d only bcos of the fullframe sensor or I should forget it and buy quality lens like the EF 24-70 f/2.8 ii lens or the newest tamron 24-70 f/2.8 G2 lens ???I need your professional advice quickly
Been using it for almost two years now, almost every day. Never leaves my side, and I haven't had any issues with it. Fantastic pictures and video. Very solid camera, externally and internally. The 18 -135 lens that's included is APS-C, so there's no crop/magnification as you would get on a full frame lens. I recommend this camera all the time.
Actually there still is a crop factor to consider. The EF-S lens lengths are given as if they are for FF despite not fitting on them. If you have a 40 or 50mm prime put those on and then tell me that they are more "zoomed" in than the 18-135 would be at those same setting. Certainly do enjoy my 80D but none lenses you'd buy for it will already account for the crop factor in their labelling. Now there are some you don't get the full range on for all focus points but that's usually due to lens construction.
I love mine. Of course, I'm not big on keeping up with every new model. I upgraded from a Canon 40D. If you wait several generations, you'll be really excited about your new camera! Plus I can use all my old glass still.
Bought the 80D last year from Best Buy. Got it with the 18-135 kit lens for $1150. Showed them a competitor priced at the time for $1149 and they matched it. Bought this for the video capabilities but love shooting stills with it. Over the year I've purchased the Canon 24, 50, 10-18 and a Yongnuo 100mm.
I bought the same exact setup and lenses except the 100mm....haven't tried that lens. The 18-135 nano USM while a variable aperture kit lens, is fast focusing and quiet in video. If you use fast glass it's not that bad in lower light.
I think the 80d still relevant because it is wonderful for video and photo. It has better video bit rates higher than the 6d mark ii with all-i capabilities. I have always inclined more towards lenses. I own the m5 and 60d which i believe still great for photos. I read on a forum someone saying they had the 60d but felt behind everyone bc all their new cameras. I shook my head no no. What makes the difference are the lenses.. 24l, 24105l, 50mm, 85mm, 135f2, 1018mm, 18 135 kit, 35l, thats what makes the difference. Huh i forgot lighting equipment and more importantly practice above all.
I just bought one. My older camera was the 40D. I wasn't really interested in the video capacity as my passion is photography. Waiting for the 90D at new camera prices didn't make sense so after researching it, decided to go with the 80D/18-145mm kit. It's a huge jump in technology from my old trusty 40D. Easy camera to fall in love with. Great images and loaded with features. No regrets.
Bought my 80D in May 2018, upgraded from a T6 that bought in November 2017 because the features were more robust in the 80D. So far it has been a great purchase. Works flawlessly for landscape and general photography work. Great prosumer level camera. Packed with pro features for a consumer price.
Alan Zamora just use what you got until you can afford to upgrade. I do street photography, portraits with a Canon T6, gonna use it to start my youtube channel.
Currently I am working with a Canon T6. I am an entry level photographer and although I am keeping an eye on the 80D as my next body it is glass I am really looking at. The 70-200 f4 is in my sights. Because I am an amateur the f4 is a better economical range for me at this point to be looking at. Just have to remember that the brighter light is better for f4. I hope they do come out with a 90D or whatever soon for it will make the 80D come down in price. But for anyone out there that thinks they have to have the cutting edge but you are not a professional just stop already. It is not the gear but your eye and knowledge of your equipment you are using that is going to get you those tasty pictures. And that is not even talking about what you can do in post. The 80D is an amazing camera for that next step up in bodies. Just don't forget it is the glass that is most important. Invest in that before you upgrade your body. 18-35 f4 24-70 f4 70-200 f4 That is my list for glass I would love to get before I step up my body. The 2.8 or better will be what I will look at when I finally go full frame. If you are an amateur these telescopic lenses will be amazing for your collection and give you good results is not amazing. They will give you the range you want then go for primes. That is my opinion anyways.
The most underrated feature for video is the 3x zoom, which it achieves by cropping not from too small a sensor as has been the traditional method to avoid, but by cropping one that is "too large". That is, no quality loss! Servo AF is lots, but not regular "push-button" AF. This makes it GREAT or travel, either eliminating the need to carry a long telephoto, or really letting you get in close with a real optical one. Just stay away from the longer digital zoom to 6x, which does crop into the pixel frame and really should not have even been included. My 80D was a refurb direct from Canon that included both the 18-55 and 55-250 for under $700 total. I enjoy it alongside my 5DIV for weddings. Terrific.
Thanks for the great review, I have been considering the 80D for a while. I feel like I could look for ever at cameras and still never be sure about what one if best! But I really like the sound of the 80D. I think I should go with my gut and go for it!
Thanks for your review ... more confident in my purchase... looking forward watching your other videos related to Canon use ... an old Canon user ...retired .... now playing catch -up ...cheers !
Iam a 16 year old cinematographer. My choice was to buy a 80d with 18-135 joby 3k kit and some battery's. The rest i spend on train tickets etc. Iam 16 i dont need 4k i dont need 120fs i dont need insane iso i dont a 1dx or a a7 something i only needed a 80d. Im now saving money for a 24-70 from my grandpa and my next camera within 2 year will be the 6dmk2 i think. The 80d is the best camera for me.
In 2 years I am willing to bet there will be an awesome mirrorless choice from Canon. If their first entry into the market is any indication of future improvements. Take that into consideration
I got my 80D in late May 2016 and I love it. But one day I might need to upgrade it and then the 90D (just launched today August 28 20119) will be the logical choise. Great video. Keep them coming :)
I actually just ordered the 80D with the 18-55 Lens kit so i am glad to see this video. I also ordered the 24mm 2.8...both coming Friday and i can't wait. The 80D kit was $950 and the 24mm was $130
I bought the 80D a couple years ago and was pointed in that direction by my camera guy at the camera store I have since adopted. He actually talked me out of the GH5 even though he had it there. He sold me what I needed and not what I wanted and for that I will be a life long customer....enough of that....I consider myself to know nothing about photography but I am learning and I have been really happy with the 80D. I was pleased you mentioned spending money on the lens because after I bought the kit 80D I went back to my camera guy and talked him into selling me the canon EF 100-400mm lens and I love it! I do a lot of outdoor camping, hiking, canoeing back country type of things and when weight isn't an issue I drag the 80D along and although I am still learning I have to say that 100-400 lens gets me pictures and video that makes it look like I know what I am doing....I don't really! I am pleased that everything you said about the 80D was almost exactly what my guy told me.
I purchased the 80D last year(mid 2018) after being a Pentax user for many years. The Canon is outstanding. I bought it with the kit lens EF 18 - 135mm and get brilliant photos. I also have the Canon EF 70 -300mm f/4 -5.6 IS USM zoom lens to go with it. I also like having the 45 focal points spread across the screen instead of squeezed into the center which produces really crisp photos. The best feature with the lens is the image stabilisation which I find brilliant for action photography especially when panning.The 80D is so easy to use and feels solid in the hands, without being too weighty. Highly recommended.
I've got a Canon 600D, looking to upgrade for better burst rate, focus, and better low light capability. So far it's between the Canon 80D, 7DMkII and Sony A7II. Interested in wildlife photography.
I bought the 80D like four weeks ago to replace my my old 1100D (which was good for almost five years btw). Totally do not regret it. Perfect camera for my needs and even mire potential, if I buy some better lenses
I just bought one this past Black Friday, I’m not a professional photographer or videographer but I love make videos on this camera, it’s amazing the quality of the footage, I’m so happy I bought the right camera!
I just went from a 7D mark 1 to this. I dig it. I have the Sigma 18-35, Tokina 11-16 & Tamron 70-200. I do both photo and video. 2weeks in & I'm loving it so far!
I bought a Canon M50 for a compact carry around and vlogging camera and shares many of the lenses of the 80d with the adapter, but I'm keeping my Canon 80d for now.....it feels great in the hand and the control ergonomics for me is great.
The 80D is the only cropped sensor Canon that has its audio capabilities left intact. The M5, M6 and M50 have their mic port tweaked so that discreet dual channel recording is disabled. There is also no VU meter during recording and no headphone port.
Bought the 80D last year(mid 2018). Amazing camera. I tend to use mainly L Series lens and get brilliant photos. I totally agree that the glass used makes all the difference so put your money there. I also find that having the 45 focal points spread across the screen instead of bulked up in the center make it much easier to get a crisp shot. I upgraded from the T6s which is still a great camera when used with good glass, but the 80D is easier to use. High recommended it.
I'm still using my 60D, 70D and SL2! My videos and pics still look fantastic! Canon cameras are strong and durable and I'm not in any hurry for 4K! I may purchase the 80D soon!
Thanks for your report. I love my 80D. It’s completely reliable and built like a tank, great features, great screen, fast and accurate focusing and great stabilisation using it with my 18-135 and 10-18 lenses, nice to hold, good and well placed buttons. It was my first DSLR (I came after a long gap from a background of Canon SLRs) so it was a long learning curve gradually getting to grips with all the functions and to learn to use it effectively. I use it for both photo and video. The lack of 4K is not an issue for me, in fact I’m quite glad not to have it (!) as I’m sure I’d be using it a lot of the time ‘just in case’ but probably not for any good reasons at all and with all the cumbersome space and speed problems. A year ago I added a 100-400L lens and this brought the quality up to a whole new level again - what a fantastic combination this is! I am now wondering if I can justify also getting a really top notch fast wide-aperture 50 or 70mm lens. Can you tell I like my 80 D...?!
I have had the 80D for nearly 2 years now and am totally enjoying it,It is great for wildlife especially when paired up with the Tamron 150-600 mm lens .So I will say a great camera for the money
If you want to get into sports/wildlife photography on a budget, buy one. I have some reservations over the 80D's colour handling and metering so to me its not as good as the 7dmkii but I agree about the AF, its very good and I think understated in this video for low light, which will perform in near dark conditions. Handles Sigma zooms well too.
I have had a few of them. I buy, then sell. Buy then sell. I just keep coming back because they work. I just bought my fourth one. If you can get a good deal on one, I think it will do the job for most people. Kit lens and a nifty 50 and you are good. Add the sigma 18-35 and you are great. Need a little range? The 55-250 stm can be had for like 100 bucks.
I still love my 80D I got the M50 as well. They are both amazing camera's. I shoot mostly video for my youtube channel. One of the best thing I bought was the M - EFS mount which means I can use all my lenses on both cameras.
I had upgraded from 1100D to 80D. Its with me from last 2 years and shot couple of short films on 18-135mm USM lens. Have done many dance and music Videos. Its the best camera for Pics & Video. Best at auto Focusing. I Love my 80D. :)
I am new in photography and video. I had a nikon 3200d but I wanted a camera to do both (photos and video). After a lot of hours in UA-cam I decided to buy Canon 80d 2 weeks ago. I can't wait 2-3 or 5-6 months for new model. So I bought 80d and I am very happy. For me it's an excellent choice for my budget (around 1000 euro).
Awesome! I use this camera for more than aone year now and still lvoing it. Actually I thougj about upgrading to the 6d mkII but to be honest I dont think it is worth it. Put some good glass and you are gold!
Just purchased this camera with the 18-135 lenses on amazon within the last two weeks. Still learning all the features, but the pictures taken so far are very impressive. Thanks for the video and I am looking forward to taking your course on udemy.
Only a couple of concerns 1 no blue tooth and the fact that it’s over 3 years old. The sensor is older. Of course as soon as I buy the 90 d will launch. But looking for quality videos...
I have the 80D with the 24mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8, 10-18mm stm, 18-135mm, and the 50-250mm all Canon lenses shoot mostly video. Waiting for the right time to upgrade so far I don’t see anything from Canon yet that ticks all the boxes.
Hi, very good point of view. But, Canon 80d has a weatherproof body? What does that mean? that is, can I use cameras even in rainy conditions? Thank you
Just got the 80d and I love it so far. Just trying to figure out what lenses if any I need besides the 18-135 kit lens which is great. Do you or does anyone know if you can control the shutter timing through the phone app? I want to take night time sky pictures and would like to know if I can use the app or if I should get a remote with a timer.
I've used my 80D for 2 years now, and I love it. I only wish it had GPS. When I post some of my travel photos it would be really great to be able to locate them on a map for the viewers. Geo Tagging is just too inconvenient for me. If its successor has GPS, that would probably be the only reason I would change.
I've had my 80d for about 2 months now and love it! I'm still trying to figure out the right auto focus setting for me, I shoot my kids moving and playing a lot and still get a lot of motion blur. Specifically when my daughter twirls in a dress, the dress and her hands are always blurred.
My poor 80d i got it and then a month after i got the c100 mark II. Now it spends a lot of time on my gear shelf with my 70d. A really big positive to the 80d is that it pairs perfectly with the c100 using a third party cLog format on the 80d.
I was talking to a Canon rep in my local camera store and I asked him about the 90D and he replied by saying that Canon has no plans to make a 90D and it is believed that the 80D will be the last one in that series as Canon are moving towards mirrored and not DSLR cameras
Crop factor on Canon APS-C is x1.6, so 50 mm gives you 80 mm on it ;). I bought 80D 2 years ago, I'm using it mostly with Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8, and I'm very happy.
literaly I love my ex 80D. canon 80D is just work man. I mean canon 80D feature is complete. like flipscreen, easy menu with touchscreen, great battery life, weather proof, mic in and heandphone jack. dual pixel autofocus and canon reddish color is for me is complete package you can get. rather than my a6300 and panasonic. this canon is for human. I miss it alot.
Got my 80D in early 2017. Love the quality of the images the camera produces. I take it out into the woods as often as I can. The images I get are super good even though I am still "learning" photography :-)
The kit lens you have (EF-S 18-135mm IS USM) is actually very good even if it wasn't a kit lens. I've recently purchased the same kit. It's also my first DSLR experience and I'm loving it. So much to tweak and from what I've done as research it appears that there is second to none when it comes to the proper application of a touch screen. The Live View is just amazing. And I love the app to control your camera! Currently looking for a second hand EF 100mm f/2.8 IS USM true macro lens. The new ones are quite pricey but a well tended lens will last a long time so buying second hand is definitely a great way to go.
"Pretty old pretty old", I`m using Canon 60D and it`s still can do great photos and videos, and it`s 9 years old :) But video is great, thak you. Just ordered 80D (with Sigma ART 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM) and can`t wait to test out these two.
so for my 80d i need to get the 24mm pancake lens 55-250 lens the 10-18 lens i already have the 50mm 1.8 and get the 24-105 and the 24-70? or just get lenses for 80d and not use full frame lenses on a aps-c crop sensor camera
I have finally narrowed down my camera search to the canon 80D. I had a 20D years ago and loved that camera. I’m hoping that the 80D will be a great replacement. In the video you mentioned you only use specific media cards. I don’t see where you mention which ones you use or a link. Did I miss it?? Thanks for the video, great info.
I just purchased the Canon 90D i have the 24 pancake, I would like your opinion between the Canon15-85 and Sigma 18-50 I am a retired wedding photographer and will be taking family and vacation and some elementary school sports team and single portraits, no action. So please let me know what you think.
I love my even older 70D in 2018, but I find myself grabbing my smaller 100D more. I almost have all the STMs. But I have left canon for Panasonic for video and just gathering enough guts to pull the trigger on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K.
Great video!! I bought the 80D right before I was headed home from Việt Nam in 2016. It was the newest technology camera by Canon. I left my T5I with my son, but he was also buying a new 70D from a store there. I ordered mine online so it would be here when I got back home. I had a Tamron 16-300mm lens at the time, since then I bought a Tamron 18-400mm lens and they work very well together. I slapped a Haze 2a filter on it to get almost any purple fringe out of the photo. My other lens is the Tamron SP45 f1.8. really nice lens, both are nice lenses. I would love to get the 90D now that it is out, 4K would be nice, but I have a video editor that will save to 4k so I can kind "cheat" hehe I think I will stick with the 80D for now. It is STILL an awesome camera!! ONLY thing I don't like is that Canon decided to stop allowing you to see the shutter count in any apps I have.
@@jeradhill I feel Canon will crush it in the Mirrorless in a year or two. I bought my 80D as an upgrade on 1300D in mid July this year. For now it is the end of the line for me. I will be happy for years to come. Maybe next upgrade will be Canon Mirrorless.
Cannon T7i or SL2 are gonna get you similar quality photos. They are priced decently (few hundred $ cheaper) and come with the same autofocus system, along with an updated image processor over the 80D
I bought canon 80d last month .now sometimes there is noise while sensor cleaning but sometime there is no noise....what is the reason ? What shall i do
80D is and has been a great privilege to capture images with. As my first DSLR it gives me the confidence to be professional, so impressed with this awesome camera. Your review is honest and spot on, thanks
2021 and still using 3 of these.
I bought my Canon 80D last year as a xmas gift to myself. And I love my 80D!! I don't need 4k

same here. my new imac also has no 4k monitor... so... for the next 8 years I will probably not bother :D
There are a few downsides. Low light performance, lack of IBIS, lack of 120fps on 1080, inability to shoot flat/log.
@@RyanPutranto lol Yeah, those points are true. Of course there's no camera that comes anywhere close to hitting the same price point with those features.
"There are a few downsides, it doesn't handle like a Lotus, doesn't accelerate like a Porsche, or have the interior of a Bentley."
True, and it cost the same as a Toyota Camry.

shooting 4K isn't worth it unless you drop serious money. 4k isn't there yet

What makes the difference are the lenses.. 24l, 24105l, 50mm, 85mm, 135f2, 1018mm, 18 135 kit, 35l, thats what makes the difference. Huh i forgot lighting equipment and more importantly practice above all.
Chaz C the 80d with kit lense is 799 right now. Trying to decide on the 77d or 80d for 149 more
I just bought one. My older camera was the 40D. I wasn't really interested in the video capacity as my passion is photography. Waiting for the 90D at new camera prices didn't make sense so after researching it, decided to go with the 80D/18-145mm kit. It's a huge jump in technology from my old trusty 40D. Easy camera to fall in love with. Great images and loaded with features. No regrets.
Jim Tipton this is what I am doing, upgrading from my 40, waiting on it to arrive in the mail
Bought my 80D in May 2018, upgraded from a T6 that bought in November 2017 because the features were more robust in the 80D. So far it has been a great purchase. Works flawlessly for landscape and general photography work. Great prosumer level camera. Packed with pro features for a consumer price.
Alan Zamora just use what you got until you can afford to upgrade. I do street photography, portraits with a Canon T6, gonna use it to start my youtube channel.
Currently I am working with a Canon T6. I am an entry level photographer and although I am keeping an eye on the 80D as my next body it is glass I am really looking at. The 70-200 f4 is in my sights.
Because I am an amateur the f4 is a better economical range for me at this point to be looking at. Just have to remember that the brighter light is better for f4.
I hope they do come out with a 90D or whatever soon for it will make the 80D come down in price. But for anyone out there that thinks they have to have the cutting edge but you are not a professional just stop already.
It is not the gear but your eye and knowledge of your equipment you are using that is going to get you those tasty pictures. And that is not even talking about what you can do in post.
The 80D is an amazing camera for that next step up in bodies. Just don't forget it is the glass that is most important. Invest in that before you upgrade your body.
18-35 f4
24-70 f4
70-200 f4
That is my list for glass I would love to get before I step up my body. The 2.8 or better will be what I will look at when I finally go full frame.
If you are an amateur these telescopic lenses will be amazing for your collection and give you good results is not amazing. They will give you the range you want then go for primes. That is my opinion anyways.
The most underrated feature for video is the 3x zoom, which it achieves by cropping not from too small a sensor as has been the traditional method to avoid, but by cropping one that is "too large". That is, no quality loss! Servo AF is lots, but not regular "push-button" AF. This makes it GREAT or travel, either eliminating the need to carry a long telephoto, or really letting you get in close with a real optical one. Just stay away from the longer digital zoom to 6x, which does crop into the pixel frame and really should not have even been included. My 80D was a refurb direct from Canon that included both the 18-55 and 55-250 for under $700 total. I enjoy it alongside my 5DIV for weddings. Terrific.
Thanks for the great review, I have been considering the 80D for a while. I feel like I could look for ever at cameras and still never be sure about what one if best! But I really like the sound of the 80D. I think I should go with my gut and go for it!
Thanks for your review ... more confident in my purchase... looking forward watching your other videos related to Canon use ... an old Canon user ...retired .... now playing catch -up ...cheers !
Iam a 16 year old cinematographer.
My choice was to buy a 80d with 18-135 joby 3k kit and some battery's. The rest i spend on train tickets etc. Iam 16 i dont need 4k i dont need 120fs i dont need insane iso i dont a 1dx or a a7 something i only needed a 80d. Im now saving money for a 24-70 from my grandpa and my next camera within 2 year will be the 6dmk2 i think. The 80d is the best camera for me.
In 2 years I am willing to bet there will be an awesome mirrorless choice from Canon. If their first entry into the market is any indication of future improvements. Take that into consideration
The is no deference between 80D and 6D ii ...
@@MrAvera There are several differences.
The 6D ii is Fullframe and the 80D is Asp-c I think this is the only deference 😊
@@MrAvera APSC lenses i.e Canon EF-S wont work on a full frame camera
I just bought the 80D, as a refurb unit, I do not care about 4k Video, and I use the newer M50 for my video. I love the features for shooting stills.
Canon 80D it's such a great camera I just love the Canon colors thanks for the special review..
I got my 80D in late May 2016 and I love it. But one day I might need to upgrade it and then the 90D (just launched today August 28 20119) will be the logical choise. Great video. Keep them coming :)
I actually just ordered the 80D with the 18-55 Lens kit so i am glad to see this video. I also ordered the 24mm 2.8...both coming Friday and i can't wait. The 80D kit was $950 and the 24mm was $130
I’d say this is still the best camera in the price range
I got my canon 80d since 2016 and still going.
Value for money !~ 80D + Sigma 18-35mm f/1,8 Art.... Yeah !
Zack Choy can I see how ur pics came out?
That's exactly what I use :D
The 50-100mm/1,8 would be the perfect addition
Quite a good choice for sure ! I also added the Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 to the set and I'm very happy with both :)
Is that for portrait?
That SIGMA IS AMAZINGGGGGG. I rented it once 😭😭 i really need more money to own it.
I bought the 80D a couple years ago and was pointed in that direction by my camera guy at the camera store I have since adopted. He actually talked me out of the GH5 even though he had it there. He sold me what I needed and not what I wanted and for that I will be a life long customer....enough of that....I consider myself to know nothing about photography but I am learning and I have been really happy with the 80D. I was pleased you mentioned spending money on the lens because after I bought the kit 80D I went back to my camera guy and talked him into selling me the canon EF 100-400mm lens and I love it! I do a lot of outdoor camping, hiking, canoeing back country type of things and when weight isn't an issue I drag the 80D along and although I am still learning I have to say that 100-400 lens gets me pictures and video that makes it look like I know what I am doing....I don't really! I am pleased that everything you said about the 80D was almost exactly what my guy told me.
I purchased the 80D last year(mid 2018) after being a Pentax user for many years. The Canon is outstanding. I bought it with the kit lens EF 18 - 135mm and get brilliant photos. I also have the Canon EF 70 -300mm f/4 -5.6 IS USM zoom lens to go with it. I also like having the 45 focal points spread across the screen instead of squeezed into the center which produces really crisp photos. The best feature with the lens is the image stabilisation which I find brilliant for action photography especially when panning.The 80D is so easy to use and feels solid in the hands, without being too weighty. Highly recommended.
I've got a Canon 600D, looking to upgrade for better burst rate, focus, and better low light capability. So far it's between the Canon 80D, 7DMkII and Sony A7II. Interested in wildlife photography.
I bought the 80D like four weeks ago to replace my my old 1100D (which was good for almost five years btw). Totally do not regret it. Perfect camera for my needs and even mire potential, if I buy some better lenses
Dont forget just being weather sealed
Gives it a great advantage over other dslr,s
Had the 60D moved up to the 80d wasn't sure at the start but that all changed. Shoot a lot of indoor hockey and the fast focus is sweet.
I just bought one this past Black Friday, I’m not a professional photographer or videographer but I love make videos on this camera, it’s amazing the quality of the footage, I’m so happy I bought the right camera!
I just went from a 7D mark 1 to this. I dig it. I have the Sigma 18-35, Tokina 11-16 & Tamron 70-200. I do both photo and video. 2weeks in & I'm loving it so far!
I bought a Canon M50 for a compact carry around and vlogging camera and shares many of the lenses of the 80d with the adapter, but I'm keeping my Canon 80d for now.....it feels great in the hand and the control ergonomics for me is great.
Its great for sports as well
Same with me.. Im canon m50 user now.. .if i upgrade my gear to 80D, what do you think ? It's good for a long time used ?
Well done bro. I still use my Canon 80D for everyone of my videos I upload to the web. I still love this camera.
The 80D is the only cropped sensor Canon that has its audio capabilities left intact. The M5, M6 and M50 have their mic port tweaked so that discreet dual channel recording is disabled. There is also no VU meter during recording and no headphone port.
I bought it last year . Without even using all the capacities of the camera and it offers me very very good results even in 2019.
Love my 80D, Still shooting using this beast.
Bought the 80D last year(mid 2018). Amazing camera. I tend to use mainly L Series lens and get brilliant photos. I totally agree that the glass used makes all the difference so put your money there. I also find that having the 45 focal points spread across the screen instead of bulked up in the center make it much easier to get a crisp shot. I upgraded from the T6s which is still a great camera when used with good glass, but the 80D is easier to use. High recommended it.
I like my Canon 80D. I have lots to learn but looking forward to it.
can i fit a L lens like a canon 70 -300 f4.5 5.6 is usm lens to the 80D
I'm still using my 60D, 70D and SL2! My videos and pics still look fantastic! Canon cameras are strong and durable and I'm not in any hurry for 4K! I may purchase the 80D soon!
2:28 "80D does really decent job in low light situations", he says while showing photos taken in daylight :P
🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for your report. I love my 80D. It’s completely reliable and built like a tank, great features, great screen, fast and accurate focusing and great stabilisation using it with my 18-135 and 10-18 lenses, nice to hold, good and well placed buttons. It was my first DSLR (I came after a long gap from a background of Canon SLRs) so it was a long learning curve gradually getting to grips with all the functions and to learn to use it effectively. I use it for both photo and video. The lack of 4K is not an issue for me, in fact I’m quite glad not to have it (!) as I’m sure I’d be using it a lot of the time ‘just in case’ but probably not for any good reasons at all and with all the cumbersome space and speed problems. A year ago I added a 100-400L lens and this brought the quality up to a whole new level again - what a fantastic combination this is! I am now wondering if I can justify also getting a really top notch fast wide-aperture 50 or 70mm lens. Can you tell I like my 80 D...?!
I have had the 80D for nearly 2 years now and am totally enjoying it,It is great for wildlife especially when paired up with the Tamron 150-600 mm lens .So I will say a great camera for the money
If you want to get into sports/wildlife photography on a budget, buy one. I have some reservations over the 80D's colour handling and metering so to me its not as good as the 7dmkii but I agree about the AF, its very good and I think understated in this video for low light, which will perform in near dark conditions. Handles Sigma zooms well too.
I have had a few of them. I buy, then sell. Buy then sell. I just keep coming back because they work. I just bought my fourth one. If you can get a good deal on one, I think it will do the job for most people. Kit lens and a nifty 50 and you are good. Add the sigma 18-35 and you are great. Need a little range? The 55-250 stm can be had for like 100 bucks.
I still love my 80D I got the M50 as well. They are both amazing camera's. I shoot mostly video for my youtube channel. One of the best thing I bought was the M - EFS mount which means I can use all my lenses on both cameras.
Hi! Can u confirm about the quality (video) for low light situation for m50(Ipb) vs 80d (All-i). Thanks
love the added information of crop sensor vs full frame as i had no real idea about it
Have the camera, like it! Portable and fast shooting. Sharp, crisp images.
I had upgraded from 1100D to 80D. Its with me from last 2 years and shot couple of short films on 18-135mm USM lens. Have done many dance and music Videos. Its the best camera for Pics & Video. Best at auto Focusing. I Love my 80D. :)
I am new in photography and video. I had a nikon 3200d but I wanted a camera to do both (photos and video). After a lot of hours in UA-cam I decided to buy Canon 80d 2 weeks ago. I can't wait 2-3 or 5-6 months for new model. So I bought 80d and I am very happy. For me it's an excellent choice for my budget (around 1000 euro).
Awesome! I use this camera for more than aone year now and still lvoing it. Actually I thougj about upgrading to the 6d mkII but to be honest I dont think it is worth it. Put some good glass and you are gold!
Definitely happy I bought my 80D in early 2017
Just purchased this camera with the 18-135 lenses on amazon within the last two weeks. Still learning all the features, but the pictures taken so far are very impressive. Thanks for the video and I am looking forward to taking your course on udemy.
This camera is on the best buy black Friday ad this year
Only a couple of concerns 1 no blue tooth and the fact that it’s over 3 years old. The sensor is older. Of course as soon as I buy the 90 d will launch. But looking for quality videos...
Still rocking the 60d. The double digit series is one of canons most successful lines. Manual focusing is fun when your use lovely L lens
I have the 80D with the 24mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8, 10-18mm stm, 18-135mm, and the 50-250mm all Canon lenses shoot mostly video. Waiting for the right time to upgrade so far I don’t see anything from Canon yet that ticks all the boxes.
Hi, very good point of view. But, Canon 80d has a weatherproof body? What does that mean? that is, can I use cameras even in rainy conditions? Thank you
i love my 80d,still using it.video is excellent.
Just got the 80d and I love it so far. Just trying to figure out what lenses if any I need besides the 18-135 kit lens which is great. Do you or does anyone know if you can control the shutter timing through the phone app? I want to take night time sky pictures and would like to know if I can use the app or if I should get a remote with a timer.
Yes, you can.
I have used 60D, 70D and using 80D now! I'm looking for Full Frame maybe Sony!
The Canon 80D needs two lenses, for Photos: 50mm 1.8 STM - £90 & for Videos: Sigma 18-35 1.8 - £650
10-18mm for photos will be nice one too!
I thought of buying 50mm 1.8 lens?
Just pulled the trigger and bought one! Thanks. I'll check out your suggestions for add-ons..including the guide for Dummies!
I've used my 80D for 2 years now, and I love it. I only wish it had GPS. When I post some of my travel photos it would be really great to be able to locate them on a map for the viewers. Geo Tagging is just too inconvenient for me. If its successor has GPS, that would probably be the only reason I would change.
You can add a battery grip!
I've had my 80d for about 2 months now and love it! I'm still trying to figure out the right auto focus setting for me, I shoot my kids moving and playing a lot and still get a lot of motion blur. Specifically when my daughter twirls in a dress, the dress and her hands are always blurred.
Increase your shutter speed to stop the motion blur
I have that camera and I have 24-70 sigma lens , it works great. I like it.
Please give me one Lens
cost??
My poor 80d i got it and then a month after i got the c100 mark II. Now it spends a lot of time on my gear shelf with my 70d. A really big positive to the 80d is that it pairs perfectly with the c100 using a third party cLog format on the 80d.
Grifster 360 where do you get a 3rd party C-log for it? I’d love to get that. Thanks.
I was talking to a Canon rep in my local camera store and I asked him about the 90D and he replied by saying that Canon has no plans to make a 90D and it is believed that the 80D will be the last one in that series as Canon are moving towards mirrored and not DSLR cameras
That would make sense.
There is a newer EOS 77D... but it's not really a leap forward... from what I'm seeing in the reviews for it.
Very happy with mine still after having it for a year it's my first dslr and will be keeping it even after buying a ff 👌
Crop factor on Canon APS-C is x1.6, so 50 mm gives you 80 mm on it ;). I bought 80D 2 years ago, I'm using it mostly with Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8, and I'm very happy.
so for the lens in the video 18mm to 135mm is actually 29mm to 216mm?
Thanks for the review, I'm thinking of buying this one.
literaly I love my ex 80D. canon 80D is just work man. I mean canon 80D feature is complete. like flipscreen, easy menu with touchscreen, great battery life, weather proof, mic in and heandphone jack. dual pixel autofocus and canon reddish color is for me is complete package you can get.
rather than my a6300 and panasonic. this canon is for human.
I miss it alot.
Got my 80D in early 2017. Love the quality of the images the camera produces. I take it out into the woods as often as I can.
The images I get are super good even though I am still "learning" photography :-)
The kit lens you have (EF-S 18-135mm IS USM) is actually very good even if it wasn't a kit lens.
I've recently purchased the same kit. It's also my first DSLR experience and I'm loving it. So much to tweak and from what I've done as research it appears that there is second to none when it comes to the proper application of a touch screen. The Live View is just amazing. And I love the app to control your camera!
Currently looking for a second hand EF 100mm f/2.8 IS USM true macro lens. The new ones are quite pricey but a well tended lens will last a long time so buying second hand is definitely a great way to go.
80d + sigma 18-35 f1.8 art... simply the perfect combo for me!
I bought the Sigma 50mm f1.4 art and I don't regret it nor will
80d is a very sensable lovely camara, and Very worth the price to invest i love my 80d 💗💗😇🌹
"Pretty old pretty old", I`m using Canon 60D and it`s still can do great photos and videos, and it`s 9 years old :)
But video is great, thak you. Just ordered 80D (with Sigma ART 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM) and can`t wait to test out these two.
What kind of things are involved with your photo booth? What is photo booth? is it like Midnight Cowboy?
so for my 80d i need to get the 24mm pancake lens 55-250 lens the 10-18 lens i already have the 50mm 1.8 and get the 24-105 and the 24-70? or just get lenses for 80d and not use full frame lenses on a aps-c crop sensor camera
I have finally narrowed down my camera search to the canon 80D. I had a 20D years ago and loved that camera. I’m hoping that the 80D will be a great replacement. In the video you mentioned you only use specific media cards. I don’t see where you mention which ones you use or a link. Did I miss it?? Thanks for the video, great info.
I just purchased the Canon 90D i have the 24 pancake, I would like your opinion between the Canon15-85 and Sigma 18-50 I am a retired wedding photographer and will be taking family and vacation and some elementary school sports team and single portraits, no action. So please let me know what you think.
This is really great camera used it till now in 2022
I love my even older 70D in 2018, but I find myself grabbing my smaller 100D more. I almost have all the STMs. But I have left canon for Panasonic for video and just gathering enough guts to pull the trigger on the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema 4K.
4:33 with Canon's 1.6 crop factor a 50mm lens will be equivalent of FF's 80 mm exactly.
Great video!!
I bought the 80D right before I was headed home from Việt Nam in 2016. It was the newest technology camera by Canon. I left my T5I with my son, but he was also buying a new 70D from a store there. I ordered mine online so it would be here when I got back home. I had a Tamron 16-300mm lens at the time, since then I bought a Tamron 18-400mm lens and they work very well together. I slapped a Haze 2a filter on it to get almost any purple fringe out of the photo. My other lens is the Tamron SP45 f1.8. really nice lens, both are nice lenses. I would love to get the 90D now that it is out, 4K would be nice, but I have a video editor that will save to 4k so I can kind "cheat" hehe I think I will stick with the 80D for now. It is STILL an awesome camera!! ONLY thing I don't like is that Canon decided to stop allowing you to see the shutter count in any apps I have.
So im stuck with a canon lens and in general i feel canon fits for me best. What other similiar newer options are there for a canon camera?
Not really anything unless you jump to a 5D MKIII or MKIV.
@@jeradhill I feel Canon will crush it in the Mirrorless in a year or two. I bought my 80D as an upgrade on 1300D in mid July this year. For now it is the end of the line for me. I will be happy for years to come. Maybe next upgrade will be Canon Mirrorless.
Cannon T7i or SL2 are gonna get you similar quality photos. They are priced decently (few hundred $ cheaper) and come with the same autofocus system, along with an updated image processor over the 80D
I like it very much 80 d 18,35 lenz good zoom and good work
I still use a 70d and love it! Just upgrade the lens.
It's such a solid camera! Not sure whether I should get one or wait for the 90D. Any thoughts?
I have the SL2 and possibly am getting 80D for Christmas. Do you think they will be a good combination to use during film scenes.
I bought canon 80d last month .now sometimes there is noise while sensor cleaning but sometime there is no noise....what is the reason ? What shall i do
clearly detail about the camera, it inspired me to purchase Canon 80D . Your videos is fantastic , thank you for sharing it.
80D is and has been a great privilege to capture images with. As my first DSLR it gives me the confidence to be professional, so impressed with this awesome camera.
Your review is honest and spot on, thanks
