Hey! Thanks for the marvelous Videos and Tutorials you made. I bought SDP and the buyers guid which helped me a lot. I got a 80D and would like to know if you would rather get the Sigma 50-100mm 1.8 or a 70-200mm 2.8 fora fast zoom. i got the Sigma 18-35mm, a canon 50mm 1.8 and the 18-135mm kit. Thanks for your help!
Hello Alyxx86 Just curious about your lens selections. What type of photography do you shoot? I shoot mostly Landscapes. I have the Canon 70-200 f2.8, the Sigma 50-100 f1.8 and now I'm trying to decide should I get the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 or the Sigma 17-50 f2.8. The 18 to 35 is very heavy and no OS. the 17-50 is lighter, has OS and is less than half the price. Do i need another super fast lens for Landscape photography. I think not but so many people rave about the 18 to 35 it's hard to pass up.
Claude C I do street and landscape with the 18-35. It's also very good for astro. I love this little lens and because of the cropfactor it's comparable to a 24-70mm in fullframe terms. In my opinion the crop-optimised lenses are generally better than FF lenses.
Thanks for a great video but really confused about Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens. Many are recommending this online as the best lens you could possibly buy for the 80D, but there are far more people saying it has disastrous AF on canon cameras and particularly the 80D! Which is it?!
We've owned the 80D for over a year primarily just for video and vlog use but recently been getting more and serious about photography and all these guides and video tutorials are just simply awesome. We bought your books too and so far so good. Much love and support guys from London!
Had to buy a new camera since my entire camera bag was stolen in Zurich as I was on my way to Jerusalem. Unable to take photos in Israel, I now have solid memories of things that I want to photograph the next time that I am there. I had an Olympus for my underwater photography, which I replaced. But, I upgraded from my Canon Rebel t6i to the 80D. Previous, I had watched tutorials that you and your wife produced which I had both enjoyed while learning a tremendous amount about photography and camera equipment. So, I went to your tutorials to learn about my new Canon. With my new camera in hand, I spent all afternoon watching your EOS80D tutorial--(bought your photography book) while taking notes--the tutorial is fantastic--I'll probably watch it again. Plus, I have now learned how to connect my camera to my phone so that I don't lose pictures, if my camera is ever stolen again. Thank you so much for your expertise, clarity, honest opinions about settings, lenses and general photography. Earlier today, I had purchased a subscription to Lightroom (bought your book), updated my cloud settings and I am backing up my computer weekly--I don't ever want to lose pictures again. Thanks for all of your help with my new camera.
I have never come across a tutorial that is so comprehensive and relax. The video just let me sink in and get me into the zone, perfect speed for a tutorial. i cant thank you enough for this video. You just earned another subscriber.
This tutorial may have been up for a while but I'm very grateful you did this. After 20 years of no camera I took the plunge and got the Canon 80D. I love it and this has helped me get started and familiar with this camera. Still much to learn but I'm excited. My last camera was a Canon 35mm SLR. Had all the goodies speed winder, effect filters, multi lenses. way back then i had the mind set take lots of pics to get that one good one. I loved B&W i even had a small dark room i truly enjoyed developing them. Unfortunately i dropped it at baseball game and from day it had a light leak and i just never sent it in to be repaired. I have a small channel and this will help in better quality video. I hope you don't mind if i share this video with my viewers in case any may get a camera for Christmas so they can check out your channel. You are informative and great teacher and very knowledgeable with your equipment. Every day i'm learning more. My next thing will be a lapel mic but this camera took a bite out of my budget I'm going to have to stay in the $100- $125 range so i'm starting my search now to find a descent one in that price range. I'm glad i found your channel and excited to get back in to photography.
I've been doing photography for 5 years now just went from the Rebel T3 to the 80D yesterday, and this was soooo helpful! I had not been shooting on anything other than green square and its refreshed everything I learned when I first started! I am now helping my friends and other people to learn about photography! I am definitely going to check out your books! Im very excited! Thank you so so much! This was so helpful!
You don't need a remote shutter timer with an 80D. You can set a time for your bulb mode and leave the shutter open for as long as you want without any extra equipment. You can find this option in settings. Another option is to connect the camera to canon app on your smartphone and trigger your shutter on and off via smart phone in bulb mode. That also saves you from having to keep your finger physically pressed on the shutter button. Not blaming Tony and chelsea, make a huge tutorial like this and you are bound to miss something. You guys are doing great work :)
Amazing video, here I am sitting with my brand new Canon 80D playing around with the settings with you and within 1 hour a lot of confusions have been cleared, I now have a good idea for the different shooting modes, clearly understood navigation of the menu and the items on the displays. Perfect video for starting with the camera, well presented as well.
My 80D has been in a bag for way too long, and this video is exactly what I need to get back on the horse. Thanks! You're still my favorite go-to channel for everything I need to know!
Tony, thanks for the tutorial...my only regret is, that I didn't have you as an instructor while in college, you are a treasure trove of information. I will definitely purchase some of your books and recommended items for my Canon EOS 80D.
I just bought this camera a couple weeks ago, my 2nd Canon DSLR, my other an XSI. This camera is a much bigger leap than I expected and have been stuck on a few things I just didn't get. I wasn't positive that the camera wasn't defective but thought it was me and it was. This video explains the camera very clearly and much easier than flipping manual pages back and forth. Thank you, I'm excited about the camera again.
Im just getting into photography and a friend had given me a canon eos 80d not too long ago. And this has been the most educational video ever on getting me started with my camera. Thank You !!
Tony, Thank you for this video. I bought this camera for myself this year and had no idea how to operate it.I bought your book as well and plan to enjoy this new hobby. I am a huge fan and admire all you and Chelsea do for your photography family, now 1 million strong....
Dude, you're my hero, I was feeling overwhelmed going from the T3 to the 80D with all the additional features and functions. I now feel like I have much more to learn but also, a brief understanding of the camera and what settings are important. I will definitely be going to your links and learning more about my camera, and general photography. Thanks for all that you do!
Wow.. Just ordered my D80 today, and will have it tomorrow, and this Video is AWESOME.. It answered so many questions for me, Since I'm a Nikon guy, except for my video camera, and older model Canon cameras. Setups are amazingly similar, but the D80 seems a little easier to access settings. Thank you, for providing a video that is so "peaceful" to watch, no yelling, and no distractions, just information. My stepson who is 14 is getting into photography in his Freshman year of HS, so I'm going to get him one of your books, along with one for myself... Thanks again...
Thank you thank you for this tutorial! I got my 80D in 2017 and searched UA-cam for tutorials but didn't find anything really helpful. Mostly unboxing videos. I don't know why this video never came up in the search! I found it after buying your books last week. I guess I should have bought them sooner! Now I understand my camera so much better. BTW I've learned more about photography from your books than my college class for beginner photography. Thank you guys for all the content you produce! It's amazing!
I clicked on your video after looking at several reviews on the Canon 80D. I was looking at another Canon which is almost twice the price. It's been quite some time since I've picked up an SLR and after watching your video. It's like riding a bike. I will be purchasing some of your books as a refresher. Needless to say, I will be spreading the word about your video tutorials.
I found my Canon 80D a couple of days ago and here I’m, watching the same video I saw 6 years ago to remember some functionality I’ve forgotten. Thanks Tony!
Incredibly helpful. I've had this camera for months as a beginner. I've adjusted several things (back button focus, single focus point, etc.) by watching other video tutorials, but this one video gave me a more complete understanding of the camera's settings than all the other research and learning that I've done. I also highly recommend the Stunning Digital Photography book. I'm several chapters through it in iBooks and I've learned so much to help me go from a complete amateur to gaining some confidence in the story I'm telling with my photos (and video as well). That coupled with some technical know-how has made me appreciate photography and videography even more. Thanks for your hard work on these great resources!!
Tony and Chelsea Thanks for your video regarding the EOS 80D camera. I learned more in your one hour tutorial than I did from reading the manual and watching at least a dozen more UA-cam videos on this camera. I also have enjoyed several other of your videos in the past. Please keep up the good work!!
You rock, man. You are, quite literally, my first and last photography/videography teacher. I'm a jump-in-and-swim kind of guy, and it's UA-cam and people like you that make that possible. I can't say enough how much I appreciate your time and energy. So informative. Thank.
Just ordered a Canon 80D with a 18-135 mm camera lens kit you suggested between the two, this tutorial will help me a lot on many settings you have showed me, Thank You so much.. Keep up the awesome job you do for all of us..God Bless to you and your loving wife..🇺🇸👍🏼🤠
Just purchased a used 80 d kit , and i must say your instructions are on point and vast . I m gonna enjoy using and learning all the features on this camera.
Wow, what a tutorial! My EOS 80D will be arriving in 2 days and I feel like I already know how to operate it after watching this video. I can't wait to take it to an air show in a couple of weeks. And I'm so glad I found Tony and Chelsea. I'm looking forward to watching more and more of these informative videos. The presentation is easy to follow with just the right tempo, in this video Tony's not talking to somebody who just purchased their 1st camera. He's talking to me, an enthusiast, who understands the basics and comprehends each section fully.
Thank you Tony, I just bought the 80D and like it very much. The information you shared has helped me to learn more about this model! I'm really impressed how well you know this camera and so many others. I think I'm depending upon you to read all the manuals .. :) I also bought the T6I (Wife uses) and now she joins me in on Saturday mornings to find that special picture, great wife/husband hobby. Thanks again. Dan.
Thank you so much, Tony! Bucket List... I just bought the 80D, my first DSLR camera. And I’m buying your books! Of all the vids here about this camera, yours is by far the best. Thanks again!
Recently bought the 80D to get back into photography again, after many years of not shooting. Checked for some reviews and tutorials but it is mostly about comparing it with high-end (full frame) cameras and pointing out what the 80D lacks. I know there is always better equipment available, and I don't need someone to explain that to me. What I was looking for was a helpful guide to learn more about my camera, and this overview offers more information than what I was hoping to find. On top of that, it is presented and produced professionally. Thanks for your great work, keep it up! (subbed)
Thank you so much for this video. I am a beginner and just purchased the 80D and you have made me feel so comfortable with my new BABY. I am going to purchase your book HOW TO CREATE STUNNING DIGITAL... right now. Thank you for doing what you do and keep up the good work.
I can't thank you enough for Chelsea & Tony for this detailed video. I lost count how many times that i watched this video to learn about my 80D.... Thank you | Thank you | Thank you!!!!!
Thank you for your excellent video. I always had Canon cameras with the Rebet XT being the best for many years. Now when I can finally afford it, I brought the 80D not knowing if I could handle it. I couldn't until I came across your video. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step and you helped me take it. I think this is a start of a very long relationship. Thanks again.
i have watched this twice just to make sure I did not miss anything. It was a very helpful tool in setting up my new camera. Thank you so much for sharing.
This is an awesome tutorial. After buying this camera recently I've gone from feeling intimidated to watching this tutorial and feeling excited and wanting to get out there and play around with it. Thank you.
Just bought myself this camera. It's my first digital SLR. Thank you for this amazing insight. I plan to watch again and buy your books. All the best from Australia...
People like Tony and Chelsea should have automatic grants given to them as educators and mentors, the type of material they published is unrivaled and is better to a lot of Photo classes I've taken over the years. I'll buy anything I can afford from their site so I can help them keep going. Best to you friends!
Thanks Tony! I recently purchased a new 90D. It has a few upgrades from the 80D version like 32.5mp, joystick, etc. I absolutely love it and thanks to you I'm up to speed and shooting in no time flat! Thanks again. Keep 'em coming!!! 👌
OMG I ordered my canon 80D I think its best choice for my vision. Second time putting this video on and I have already learned so much, I ordered the magazine he recommended, I need all the help I can get. If I can actually take the instructor with me on just one shooting event this would be awesome. Definitely rewatching this video over and over again. Due to MS I have a struggle retaining knowledge so imagine the movie 51 first dates and apply to my photo shoot lol. No. Not that bad but yes it has happened to where I have to retrain myself all over again. Thank you so much for this tutorial it truly is a blessing.
This is the best comprehensive tutorial I have ever watched!. This is 2 thumbs up!. Canon and Amazon should pay you guys :) Thank you Tony and Chelse. I just bought this camera and I learned a lot about this camera just watching this video. From Electronic Flash and lenses. You are awesome.
I am following along with your ebook Stunning Digital Photography and your Canon 80D tutorial video, you are like a professor of digital photography. The format you use of linking related videos and the depth of content in the linked videos combined with the sample photos and your depth of knowledge on the subject just makes an incredible learning experience. Thank you!
I don't own the 80D, and probably wont watch this video. I wanted give a quick thumbs up and a thanks to you for putting up this quality content. I'm sure it wasn't easy getting an hour long tutorial together, I must have watched your 70D video 10 times.
Just bought an 80d. This guy's an excellent communicator. Really enjoyed the video. Will definitely buy his book....that's if I come out the other side of this pandemic! 😷😃
Thanks a lot Tony and Chelsea for the video. It is very helpful. Just bought a Canon 80D last week. I also loved your video tutorial on Nikon D810. I never open my Canon and Nikon manuals because of your fantastic tutorials.
Thank you so much for this video! I've already lost count of all the times I've returned to this video to figure out setting up my camera the way I want it. Couldn't agree more than Back Button Focus is super helpful! Thanks again!
I very rarely comment on anything on UA-cam but man you guys are awesome! I just bought the 80D and I'm very much a beginner. I even ordered your book and have been readying that. This tutorial was amazing and has really helped me understand ISO, Shutter and Aperture! Thank you!
Thanks so much Tony. I purchase a 80D about a year ago. And I have gone back to this video mini times. I asked for one of your books for Christmas. But it wasn't in my stocking. I guess I'll have to be Santa Claus for myself. You and your wife keep up the good work. Thanks again
This is the first video I've watched on this channel. I know the video is a few years old so maybe you've already made improvements. I've only had my EOS 80D a few weeks but have had previous camera experience and know the 80D at a novice to intermediate level. This video was extremely informative and I did learn a few new things about the settings. However, I thought the video was a bit too fast paced and the camera buttons and settings could have been presented a lot slower. Some sections of the video that I had interest in had to be played over and over again basically freeze framing to catch exactly which button was selected or what menu on the live view screen was being briefly shown. I can't wait to find time to view more of this channels content and read the bought I bought from this amazing team. Thanks!!
Genius... i couldnt find a video tutorial that could teach me how to use this camera... this video is amazing.. this guy is really good at explaining things and makes me feel so special he took the time to create and explain these details in a video... Thank You THank YOu !!!!
Tony and Chelsea, your tutorials and reviews have been instrumental in bettering the quality of my images. Thank you for making this information available! All your hard work is appreciated and extremely useful. Thank you again and I look forward to future videos.
Thank you so much Tony for the video! I just bought a Canon 80D to take family photos and portraits on vacation. The video is very informative and makes all those buttons and options less intimidating. I am a beginner photographer just wanting to take a few good shots of my family. Just bought your book as well! Can't wait to start learning more about taking good photos from you. All the best to you and Chelsea.
Thanks, Tony! Just ordered a 80D to replace my 60D backup. Your instructional video is a great overview of all of the features and I really look forward to many of the advanced features, especially the touch screen and faster FPS burst rate. B&H had a special incentive that included a camera case, higher life battery and premium SD card.
Really helpful. I saw your book on amazon and almost bought it. But decided to see what videos I could find online to help for free. While searching for tutorials for my camera, I found this video. I didn't realize you guys were the same folkd I was considering buying the book from until another video. Seeing how much 1hr made a difference I decided to buy the book and am eager to learn even more! Thanks!
You can also set the back button to hold focus. This allows you to use the default button to get focus and the press and hold the AF-ON, (back button), to hold focus. You can the release the default button, re-compose your shot and then press the default button to take the picture. This came in handy when I couldn't zoom in on my subject and get focus due to there not being enough light. So I went wider with the lens allowing more light in and then I was able to press the default button and get focus. Then I pressed and held down the AF-ON, back button, releasing the default front button and then zoomed in to my subject, pressed the front button all the way down to capture the image. It worked great. It's just another way of controlling your camera while keeping the default front button as it came from the factory. I wasn't really sure when people talked about recomposing a picture meant but I'm assuming that this is one method of recomposing a picture. Yes I'm new to all this photography stuff. Thanks for all your time, effort and dedication to photography by helping others. I recently purchased a Canon 80D, finished reading the 240 manual, and have watched over 100 videos on UA-cam already. The Canon 80D is feature packed and an awesome camera for the enthusiast.
This was by far a great use of an hour of my time. I just got my 80D and now feel very well prepared to head out and use it. Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this information in this video
The reason I switched from the Nikon D5500 to the Canon 80D was the lens motor noise ruining my audio. The STM lenses are dead silent (except for the 50mm). Loving the switch, even though I do believe image quality was better on the Nikon. Your point of usability with the Canon is spot on.
Tony, this is by far the best tutorial I've seen on the 80D. Thank you. I've followed you on IG as well! As for the 80D, I just purchased it, along with a Tamron 70-200mm 2.8. The pictures are mind blowingly awesome.
I was clueless about photography using DSLR cameras, but your tutorial gave me lots of informations to start with. I still don't own one, but I am going to buy this camera soon. Thank you!
Hi Tony, Real great video, thanks for making it. Also can you make a "detail" Tutorial on using the 80D for video (interviews, youtube, kid videos...etc.) some questions I would like to see someone answering and explaining - what's the difference settings for video with examples? (Metering, Exposure , White Balance...etc.) - recommended settings for video. - focusing the video right, as well if you are a one man show? - what lense to buy for video ? tripod? - do we need image stabilization on the tripod? can we use lineses without IS? like the pancake lenses? - can you take photos during video ? - what can be changed in post? do we have something like a Raw video? - what not to do during video? what makes the camera shake ? or does it matter? - you said avoid zooming while recording..... why? many thanks and keep up the great work
I've watched this video many times and actually learn something new each time....I suspect because I tried some of your suggested settings...and like them
Fantastic tutorial, thorough walk-through and well laid out with no fluff on operation of the Canon 80D. Great explanation on use of features and controls, thank you for providing this UA-cam video.
Just bought the 80D and had to watch an sdp.io video first (of course). I learned a lot and I thank you. Only caveat is at the 24:03 mark where you discuss the "little button by the shutter" to address the focus mode select: yours shows it on the Live view screen but when I did it it would display, "This function is not available during live view shooting." It took me over 30 minutes of rewinding and experimenting before I realized that I had to depress the 'INFO' button 3 X to get into the screen you showed on the video. I heard you repeat the same words so many times that I can still hear them as I type :-) The plus side is - I will never forget how to get into focus select again.
I never knew that I could flip through the images on the info screen keeping the histogram open at the same time. This camera never ceases to surprise me.
You sir are a great teacher. Thank you. I just picked up a pretty pristine 80d for just over $700 us. I kinda stopped using my trusty old XTi because my iPhone took better photos with limitations. Mainly just used the DSLR for our annual Wildflower spectacular. I’ve been a shutterbug for fifty years. Now I intend to start taking Photographs rather than snapshots. But this whole Covid thing has us revisiting DSLR Photography. The Comet really piqued my interest in new ways. Living just outside Sequoia National Park we enjoy fantastic night skies. Great stuff. New subscriber. Thank you so much.
Thank u for these type of videos! Just bought an 80d as my first camera and I would have no idea about all these settings and features if it wasn't for u
Hi Tony, just bought my first real DSLR, Canon 80D, your video was a huge help as the book that came with it, the writing was so small, I needed a magnifying glass to read it...would have liked the 55-135mm, but the camera only came with the 18-55mm Now the fun begins :-)
Thank you Tony. This is an awesome tutorial. You talk about really, really useful things, also the small details that may seem trivial to experts. And finally, you do not talk down to people. Super good tutorial!!!

Tony & Chelsea Northrup hey guys just wondering are these lens suggestions still relevant or has anything replaced them?
Hey! Thanks for the marvelous Videos and Tutorials you made. I bought SDP and the buyers guid which helped me a lot. I got a 80D and would like to know if you would rather get the Sigma 50-100mm 1.8 or a 70-200mm 2.8 fora fast zoom. i got the Sigma 18-35mm, a canon 50mm 1.8 and the 18-135mm kit. Thanks for your help!
Hello Alyxx86 Just curious about your lens selections. What type of photography do you shoot? I shoot mostly Landscapes. I have the Canon 70-200 f2.8, the Sigma 50-100 f1.8 and now I'm trying to decide should I get the Sigma 18-35 f1.8 or the Sigma 17-50 f2.8. The 18 to 35 is very heavy and no OS. the 17-50 is lighter, has OS and is less than half the price. Do i need another super fast lens for Landscape photography. I think not but so many people rave about the 18 to 35 it's hard to pass up.
Claude C I do street and landscape with the 18-35. It's also very good for astro. I love this little lens and because of the cropfactor it's comparable to a 24-70mm in fullframe terms. In my opinion the crop-optimised lenses are generally better than FF lenses.
Thanks for a great video but really confused about Sigma 18-35 f/1.8 lens. Many are recommending this online as the best lens you could possibly buy for the 80D, but there are far more people saying it has disastrous AF on canon cameras and particularly the 80D! Which is it?!
I am not one to leave comments but this guy is the best tutor on UA-cam hands down.
+southstreet 24 Thanks!
agreed...............the best tutorial in my opinion..
Tony and Chelsea are true professionals
I agree!!! Does not ramble off what he is saying. Takes his time!! Easy to understand! Thanks so much!!
Yes the best!
6 Years later this is still the most useful video on the camera. Thank you.
We've owned the 80D for over a year primarily just for video and vlog use but recently been getting more and serious about photography and all these guides and video tutorials are just simply awesome. We bought your books too and so far so good. Much love and support guys from London!
You have the ability to go at a pace that works for the viewer. I picked up some tips that will help me enhance my photography experience.
Had to buy a new camera since my entire camera bag was stolen in Zurich as I was on my way to Jerusalem.

I have a small channel and this will help in better quality video. I hope you don't mind if i share this video with my viewers in case any may get a camera for Christmas so they can check out your channel. You are informative and great teacher and very knowledgeable with your equipment. Every day i'm learning more. My next thing will be a lapel mic but this camera took a bite out of my budget I'm going to have to stay in the $100- $125 range so i'm starting my search now to find a descent one in that price range. I'm glad i found your channel and excited to get back in to photography.
I've been doing photography for 5 years now just went from the Rebel T3 to the 80D yesterday, and this was soooo helpful!

Amazing video, here I am sitting with my brand new Canon 80D playing around with the settings with you and within 1 hour a lot of confusions have been cleared, I now have a good idea for the different shooting modes, clearly understood navigation of the menu and the items on the displays. Perfect video for starting with the camera, well presented as well.
My 80D has been in a bag for way too long, and this video is exactly what I need to get back on the horse. Thanks! You're still my favorite go-to channel for everything I need to know!
As a new owner of a Canon 80D , I thank you profusely for taking the time to make this extremely helpful video.
Same here! Still working on getting familiar with mine and this video is waaay easier (and helpful) than going through the manual lol
wtf is "profusely"???
@@atti1488 It's a word that the majority of us picked up before we entered Middle School.
Tony, thanks for the tutorial...my only regret is, that I didn't have you as an instructor while in college, you are a treasure trove of information. I will definitely purchase some of your books and recommended items for my Canon EOS 80D.
I just bought this camera a couple weeks ago, my 2nd Canon DSLR, my other an XSI. This camera is a much bigger leap than I expected and have been stuck on a few things I just didn't get. I wasn't positive that the camera wasn't defective but thought it was me and it was. This video explains the camera very clearly and much easier than flipping manual pages back and forth. Thank you, I'm excited about the camera again.
Im just getting into photography and a friend had given me a canon eos 80d not too long ago. And this has been the most educational video ever on getting me started with my camera. Thank You !!
Who knew I would enjoy listening to someone talking about cameras for an hour... Alright 80D time to put you to good use!
Tony, Thank you for this video. I bought this camera for myself this year and had no idea how to operate it.I bought your book as well and plan to enjoy this new hobby. I am a huge fan and admire all you and Chelsea do for your photography family, now 1 million strong....
Dude, you're my hero, I was feeling overwhelmed going from the T3 to the 80D with all the additional features and functions. I now feel like I have much more to learn but also, a brief understanding of the camera and what settings are important. I will definitely be going to your links and learning more about my camera, and general photography. Thanks for all that you do!
Wow.. Just ordered my D80 today, and will have it tomorrow, and this Video is AWESOME.. It answered so many questions for me, Since I'm a Nikon guy, except for my video camera, and older model Canon cameras. Setups are amazingly similar, but the D80 seems a little easier to access settings. Thank you, for providing a video that is so "peaceful" to watch, no yelling, and no distractions, just information. My stepson who is 14 is getting into photography in his Freshman year of HS, so I'm going to get him one of your books, along with one for myself... Thanks again...
Thank you thank you for this tutorial! I got my 80D in 2017 and searched UA-cam for tutorials but didn't find anything really helpful. Mostly unboxing videos. I don't know why this video never came up in the search! I found it after buying your books last week. I guess I should have bought them sooner! Now I understand my camera so much better. BTW I've learned more about photography from your books than my college class for beginner photography. Thank you guys for all the content you produce! It's amazing!
I clicked on your video after looking at several reviews on the Canon 80D. I was looking at another Canon which is almost twice the price. It's been quite some time since I've picked up an SLR and after watching your video. It's like riding a bike. I will be purchasing some of your books as a refresher. Needless to say, I will be spreading the word about your video tutorials.
this was the most informing video on the 80d I ever seen. Very good to the point instructions. thank you. I will getting couple of your books
I found my Canon 80D a couple of days ago and here I’m, watching the same video I saw 6 years ago to remember some functionality I’ve forgotten. Thanks Tony!
Incredibly helpful. I've had this camera for months as a beginner. I've adjusted several things (back button focus, single focus point, etc.) by watching other video tutorials, but this one video gave me a more complete understanding of the camera's settings than all the other research and learning that I've done. I also highly recommend the Stunning Digital Photography book. I'm several chapters through it in iBooks and I've learned so much to help me go from a complete amateur to gaining some confidence in the story I'm telling with my photos (and video as well). That coupled with some technical know-how has made me appreciate photography and videography even more. Thanks for your hard work on these great resources!!
Tony and Chelsea
Thanks for your video regarding the EOS 80D camera. I learned more in your one hour tutorial than I did from reading the manual and watching at least a dozen more UA-cam videos on this camera. I also have enjoyed several other of your videos in the past. Please keep up the good work!!
You rock, man. You are, quite literally, my first and last photography/videography teacher. I'm a jump-in-and-swim kind of guy, and it's UA-cam and people like you that make that possible. I can't say enough how much I appreciate your time and energy. So informative. Thank.
Just ordered a Canon 80D with a 18-135 mm camera lens kit you suggested between the two, this tutorial will help me a lot on many settings you have showed me, Thank You so much.. Keep up the awesome job you do for all of us..God Bless to you and your loving wife..🇺🇸👍🏼🤠
Just purchased a used 80 d kit , and i must say your instructions are on point and vast . I m gonna enjoy using and learning all the features on this camera.
Wow, what a tutorial! My EOS 80D will be arriving in 2 days and I feel like I already know how to operate it after watching this video. I can't wait to take it to an air show in a couple of weeks. And I'm so glad I found Tony and Chelsea. I'm looking forward to watching more and more of these informative videos. The presentation is easy to follow with just the right tempo, in this video Tony's not talking to somebody who just purchased their 1st camera. He's talking to me, an enthusiast, who understands the basics and comprehends each section fully.
Have searched around for tutorials and tips for using my new 80d. This is hands down the most useful tutorial I've found. Thanks so much Tony!
Thank you Tony, I just bought the 80D and like it very much. The information you shared has helped me to learn more about this model! I'm really impressed how well you know this camera and so many others. I think I'm depending upon you to read all the manuals .. :) I also bought the T6I (Wife uses) and now she joins me in on Saturday mornings to find that special picture, great wife/husband hobby.
Thanks again.
Dan.
Thank you so much, Tony! Bucket List... I just bought the 80D, my first DSLR camera. And I’m buying your books! Of all the vids here about this camera, yours is by far the best. Thanks again!
This tutorial ensures I can never ♬ blame it on my 80D ♬
It's a nice song.
+Richard Wall There is nothing wrong with the name when correctly pronounced in proper English. It's the fault of the American accents.

+Chelsea Northrup Sorry Chelsea. I can't resist having a dig at the American language, which is so different from ours!

What Tony and Chelsea have created is truly incredible... thanks a lot for your efforts
Recently bought the 80D to get back into photography again, after many years of not shooting. Checked for some reviews and tutorials but it is mostly about comparing it with high-end (full frame) cameras and pointing out what the 80D lacks. I know there is always better equipment available, and I don't need someone to explain that to me. What I was looking for was a helpful guide to learn more about my camera, and this overview offers more information than what I was hoping to find. On top of that, it is presented and produced professionally. Thanks for your great work, keep it up! (subbed)
Thank you so much for this video. I am a beginner and just purchased the 80D and you have made me feel so comfortable with my new BABY. I am going to purchase your book HOW TO CREATE STUNNING DIGITAL... right now. Thank you for doing what you do and keep up the good work.
This is, hands down, the best tutorial for anyone who has an 80D. Thanks Tony!
You're welcome!
I can't thank you enough for Chelsea & Tony for this detailed video. I lost count how many times that i watched this video to learn about my 80D.... Thank you | Thank you | Thank you!!!!!
My god watched the tutorial all in one sitting and I was not bored at all, unlike the tutorial that comes with the manual. Thank you.
Literally the best youtube video for Canon 80D users.
Thank you for your excellent video. I always had Canon cameras with the Rebet XT being the best for many years. Now when I can finally afford it, I brought the 80D not knowing if I could handle it. I couldn't until I came across your video. A journey of 1,000 miles begins with the first step and you helped me take it. I think this is a start of a very long relationship. Thanks again.
This was the best tutorial I have ever seen among at least 200 clips. Thanks for your clip. I just bought D80 and cannot wait to have it in my hands.
200 clips????
i have watched this twice just to make sure I did not miss anything. It was a very helpful tool in setting up my new camera. Thank you so much for sharing.
Glad I could help!
This is an awesome tutorial. After buying this camera recently I've gone from feeling intimidated to watching this tutorial and feeling excited and wanting to get out there and play around with it. Thank you.
+Powdah FX Glad to help!

Just bought myself this camera. It's my first digital SLR. Thank you for this amazing insight. I plan to watch again and buy your books. All the best from Australia...
People like Tony and Chelsea should have automatic grants given to them as educators and mentors, the type of material they published is unrivaled and is better to a lot of Photo classes I've taken over the years.
I'll buy anything I can afford from their site so I can help them keep going. Best to you friends!
Thanks Tony! I recently purchased a new 90D. It has a few upgrades from the 80D version like 32.5mp, joystick, etc. I absolutely love it and thanks to you I'm up to speed and shooting in no time flat! Thanks again. Keep 'em coming!!! 👌
Never subscribed to any channel. You guys are the first. I just had to because its just that good.
OMG I ordered my canon 80D I think its best choice for my vision. Second time putting this video on and I have already learned so much, I ordered the magazine he recommended, I need all the help I can get. If I can actually take the instructor with me on just one shooting event this would be awesome. Definitely rewatching this video over and over again. Due to MS I have a struggle retaining knowledge so imagine the movie 51 first dates and apply to my photo shoot lol. No. Not that bad but yes it has happened to where I have to retrain myself all over again. Thank you so much for this tutorial it truly is a blessing.
I know this video is 2 years old, but you make owning an 80D a little easier. This is my goal camera for Nov 2018! Thanks for the video!
This is the best comprehensive tutorial I have ever watched!. This is 2 thumbs up!. Canon and Amazon should pay you guys :) Thank you Tony and Chelse. I just bought this camera and I learned a lot about this camera just watching this video. From Electronic Flash and lenses. You are awesome.
I just got a Canon EOS 80D. This video was fantastic; I learned so much. Thank you.
You guys are my favorite learning channel. Tony your voice keeps it interesting. I do mostly auto vlogs. Thank the puppies Tony and Chelsea.
I am following along with your ebook Stunning Digital Photography and your Canon 80D tutorial video, you are like a professor of digital photography. The format you use of linking related videos and the depth of content in the linked videos combined with the sample photos and your depth of knowledge on the subject just makes an incredible learning experience. Thank you!
I don't own the 80D, and probably wont watch this video. I wanted give a quick thumbs up and a thanks to you for putting up this quality content. I'm sure it wasn't easy getting an hour long tutorial together, I must have watched your 70D video 10 times.
Just bought an 80d. This guy's an excellent communicator. Really enjoyed the video. Will definitely buy his book....that's if I come out the other side of this pandemic! 😷😃
This tutorial is so spot on. No stone left unturned ... Really grateful for this. It has helped me under he 80d better
Thanks a lot Tony and Chelsea for the video. It is very helpful. Just bought a Canon 80D last week. I also loved your video tutorial on Nikon D810. I never open my Canon and Nikon manuals because of your fantastic tutorials.
Thank you so much for this video! I've already lost count of all the times I've returned to this video to figure out setting up my camera the way I want it. Couldn't agree more than Back Button Focus is super helpful! Thanks again!
I very rarely comment on anything on UA-cam but man you guys are awesome! I just bought the 80D and I'm very much a beginner. I even ordered your book and have been readying that. This tutorial was amazing and has really helped me understand ISO, Shutter and Aperture! Thank you!
Thanks so much Tony. I purchase a 80D about a year ago. And I have gone back to this video mini times. I asked for one of your books for Christmas. But it wasn't in my stocking. I guess I'll have to be Santa Claus for myself. You and your wife keep up the good work. Thanks again
This is the first video I've watched on this channel. I know the video is a few years old so maybe you've already made improvements. I've only had my EOS 80D a few weeks but have had previous camera experience and know the 80D at a novice to intermediate level. This video was extremely informative and I did learn a few new things about the settings. However, I thought the video was a bit too fast paced and the camera buttons and settings could have been presented a lot slower. Some sections of the video that I had interest in had to be played over and over again basically freeze framing to catch exactly which button was selected or what menu on the live view screen was being briefly shown. I can't wait to find time to view more of this channels content and read the bought I bought from this amazing team. Thanks!!
Genius... i couldnt find a video tutorial that could teach me how to use this camera... this video is amazing.. this guy is really good at explaining things and makes me feel so special he took the time to create and explain these details in a video... Thank You THank YOu !!!!
Glad I could help!
Tony and Chelsea, your tutorials and reviews have been instrumental in bettering the quality of my images. Thank you for making this information available! All your hard work is appreciated and extremely useful. Thank you again and I look forward to future videos.
Glad i could help!
Hands down the best tutorial on UA-cam. Tony & Chelsa thank you:) Love it! I'm always learning...
Just bought my 80D today and I learned alot in this video really appreciate it. all of my questions are answered. well done guys👏👏
Thank you so much Tony for the video! I just bought a Canon 80D to take family photos and portraits on vacation. The video is very informative and makes all those buttons and options less intimidating. I am a beginner photographer just wanting to take a few good shots of my family. Just bought your book as well! Can't wait to start learning more about taking good photos from you. All the best to you and Chelsea.
Just upgraded to this camera from having an old t3i and this is super helpful! I'm definitely learning a lot. Thank you! :D
+Samantha Schwemm Glad I could help! Enjoy the new camera.
Same here, just got the 80D and Tony and Chelsea are true blessings! Keep up the good work!
Does 'THIS camera' have a NAME and MODEL #?
Thanks, Tony! Just ordered a 80D to replace my 60D backup. Your instructional video is a great overview of all of the features and I really look forward to many of the advanced features, especially the touch screen and faster FPS burst rate. B&H had a special incentive that included a camera case, higher life battery and premium SD card.
Just purchased a Canon 80D and this video tutorial was awesome! Thank you.
Wow 15 minutes into this video and no stone unturned so far :) I just ordered my Canon 80D so this video is very handy :)
Got a canon 80d for Christmas and I can't thank you enough. God bless
I've watched a lot of tutorial videos.
But this guy is the best. Thanks
the best tutorial on photography I’ve ever watched! thank you!
Such a professional and comprehensive tutorial. Congrats to your team.
Really helpful. I saw your book on amazon and almost bought it. But decided to see what videos I could find online to help for free. While searching for tutorials for my camera, I found this video. I didn't realize you guys were the same folkd I was considering buying the book from until another video. Seeing how much 1hr made a difference I decided to buy the book and am eager to learn even more! Thanks!
You can also set the back button to hold focus. This allows you to use the default button to get focus and the press and hold the AF-ON, (back button), to hold focus. You can the release the default button, re-compose your shot and then press the default button to take the picture.
This came in handy when I couldn't zoom in on my subject and get focus due to there not being enough light. So I went wider with the lens allowing more light in and then I was able to press the default button and get focus. Then I pressed and held down the AF-ON, back button, releasing the default front button and then zoomed in to my subject, pressed the front button all the way down to capture the image. It worked great. It's just another way of controlling your camera while keeping the default front button as it came from the factory.
I wasn't really sure when people talked about recomposing a picture meant but I'm assuming that this is one method of recomposing a picture.
Yes I'm new to all this photography stuff.
Thanks for all your time, effort and dedication to photography by helping others. I recently purchased a Canon 80D, finished reading the 240 manual, and have watched over 100 videos on UA-cam already. The Canon 80D is feature packed and an awesome camera for the enthusiast.
This was by far a great use of an hour of my time. I just got my 80D and now feel very well prepared to head out and use it. Thank you for taking the time to compile all of this information in this video
Just got this camera and had no idea where to start. So thankful I found your video.
The reason I switched from the Nikon D5500 to the Canon 80D was the lens motor noise ruining my audio. The STM lenses are dead silent (except for the 50mm). Loving the switch, even though I do believe image quality was better on the Nikon. Your point of usability with the Canon is spot on.
Great video!
What type of nut case dislikes a tutorial? There's some really strange "photographers" on UA-cam.
+Diatonic5th mobile phone photographers 😂
Mystery solved! lol

Tony, this is by far the best tutorial I've seen on the 80D. Thank you. I've followed you on IG as well!
As for the 80D, I just purchased it, along with a Tamron 70-200mm 2.8. The pictures are mind blowingly awesome.
I was clueless about photography using DSLR cameras, but your tutorial gave me lots of informations to start with. I still don't own one, but I am going to buy this camera soon.
Thank you!
Hi Tony,
Real great video, thanks for making it.
Also can you make a "detail" Tutorial on using the 80D for video (interviews, youtube, kid videos...etc.)
some questions I would like to see someone answering and explaining
- what's the difference settings for video with examples? (Metering, Exposure , White Balance...etc.)
- recommended settings for video.
- focusing the video right, as well if you are a one man show?
- what lense to buy for video ? tripod?
- do we need image stabilization on the tripod? can we use lineses without IS? like the pancake lenses?
- can you take photos during video ?
- what can be changed in post? do we have something like a Raw video?
- what not to do during video? what makes the camera shake ? or does it matter?
- you said avoid zooming while recording..... why?
many thanks and keep up the great work
Thank you so much. You have no idea how much i needed this.
Glad to help!
I've watched this video many times and actually learn something new each time....I suspect because I tried some of your suggested settings...and like them
Fantastic tutorial, thorough walk-through and well laid out with no fluff on operation of the Canon 80D. Great explanation on use of features and controls, thank you for providing this UA-cam video.
Ignore the dislikes Tony; for some (strange) reason, folks don't appreciate a very well done, FREE tutorial!!! ;0((((
The best tutorial for Canon 80D, very well done, informative and a wealth of knowledge. Thank you for sharing!
Excellent excellent video! Very clear and professionally done. I just got the Canon 80d and looking forward to getting into it!
Just bought the 80D and had to watch an sdp.io video first (of course). I learned a lot and I thank you. Only caveat is at the 24:03 mark where you discuss the "little button by the shutter" to address the focus mode select: yours shows it on the Live view screen but when I did it it would display, "This function is not available during live view shooting." It took me over 30 minutes of rewinding and experimenting before I realized that I had to depress the 'INFO' button 3 X to get into the screen you showed on the video. I heard you repeat the same words so many times that I can still hear them as I type :-) The plus side is - I will never forget how to get into focus select again.
How did you get rid of the "This function is not available during live view shooting." message? I can't seem to figure it out.
The best overview tutorial video I have ever seen
I never knew that I could flip through the images on the info screen keeping the histogram open at the same time. This camera never ceases to surprise me.

You sir are a great teacher. Thank you. I just picked up a pretty pristine 80d for just over $700 us.
I kinda stopped using my trusty old XTi because my iPhone took better photos with limitations. Mainly just used the DSLR for our annual
Wildflower spectacular. I’ve been a shutterbug for fifty years. Now I intend to start taking Photographs rather than snapshots.
But this whole Covid thing has us revisiting DSLR Photography. The Comet really piqued my interest in new ways.
Living just outside Sequoia National Park we enjoy fantastic night skies. Great stuff. New subscriber. Thank you so much.
Thank u for these type of videos! Just bought an 80d as my first camera and I would have no idea about all these settings and features if it wasn't for u
Hi Tony, just bought my first real DSLR, Canon 80D, your video was a huge help as the book that came with it, the writing was so small, I needed a magnifying glass to read it...would have liked the 55-135mm, but the camera only came with the 18-55mm
Now the fun begins :-)
Thanks and greetings from Bangladesh. Just bought 80D and it feels great. Want more videos from you.
Just bought canon 80D and saw ur video - amazing video Tony - Well done mate
Thank you Tony. This is an awesome tutorial. You talk about really, really useful things, also the small details that may seem trivial to experts. And finally, you do not talk down to people.
Super good tutorial!!!
+pojeja Thanks! Glad to help!
