The EOS 77D features the convenience of a touch screen interface, which is nicely integrated into the camera’s broader operational ‘interface’ and is one of the more polished examples we’ve seen. If we’ve one grumble, we’d have liked to see one that’s even larger still than the DSLR provides. Also we’d have liked 100% coverage via its optical viewfinder, rather than the 95% provided here. That being said, screen resolution is a more than respectable 1,040,000 dots and this does also allow you to access its maker’s clean looking graphical interface which is designed to help new user’s get to grips with the camera’s functionality. One-Shot, AI Focus, AI Servo, Live View (FlexiZone - Multi, FlexiZone - Single, Face detection, Movie Servo) Like the 70D, the 80D’s viewfinder displays a camera-level indicator to avoid skewed horizons. Instead of 98% coverage, it now displays 100% of the frame with 0.95x magnification. In the past, full viewfinder coverage has been exclusive to the more expensive premium models, so it’s great to see this finally filtering down to more affordable enthusiast DSLRs. Beneath the viewfinder, you’ll find a vari-angle 3in, 1.04-million-dot touch-sensitive display that is identical to the 70D’s. But beyond the most obvious feature differences, plenty of little things make the 90D a better DSLR than the 80D. Its shutter is twice as durable, rated to 200,000 shots rather than 100,000. It improves battery life by over 300 shots – 960 vs 1300. It even adds a fully electronic shutter, the first we’ve ever seen on a DSLR.

Eyelevel pentamirror single lens reflex viewfinder offering 100% frame coverage; vari-angle 3-inch LCD with 1,040,000 dots resolution As a belt and braces approach, the 77D also features Canon’s DIGIC 7 processor with a native ISO range of 100-25,600 that can be extended to ISO 51,200 equivalent. It’s further claimed that the DIGIC 7 processor also offers improved autofocus when compared to the DIGIC 6 predecessor, which is the one sported by its bigger brother in the EOS 80D. Like both the 77D and its 70D forebear, the 80D uses Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, which means that its phase detection points are on the imaging sensor itself. And, because autofocusing isn’t always desirable when shooting video, the speed of the 80D’s system can be cleverly varied over seven steps for slower/less jarring focus changes. In use, the AF system doesn’t disappoint either, achieving a sharp focus on static objects in a split second while keeping faster moving objects equally crisp, even in lower light. However, I also get the sense that Canon is holding out some of their technology for the 80D’s successor, like built-in Bluetooth and 4K video. The 80D also has only a single memory card slot, which is something that will turn away a certain segment of photographers (namely people who shoot weddings or similar once-in-a-lifetime events, where a single slot might not provide enough peace of mind). Kevin, the shutter activation limits has been adjusted to reflect real world conditions, whereas, at the release of a new product, some specifications are hypothetical. While Canon can say with confidence that the shutter will work past a certain limit in quality assured testing in a sterile testing laboratory, real world conditions may change some parameters quoted at the time the product was released.The Canon 80D has the same sensor as Canon’s newest Rebel cameras (the T7i and SL2, specifically), so you actually do not see any image quality benefits by purchasing this camera rather than one of those. However, the 80D certainly has other things going for it – autofocus performance, frame rate, controls, weather sealing, and so on.

Inferior? It’s not canon that inferior, it’s really all of them. If I only want to shoot stills, than I’ll without any hesitation buy Nikon. D500, for example. But only stills and only through VF. LV and video AF performance – very poor. In every Nikon model. If I want mainly shoot video (and 4K), and only sometimes stills – I’ll buy Sony. But at once acquire all Sony problems – class leading ISO and DR quality –yes, but both carefully destroyed by great margin with lossy compression, than by lower bit RAWs in series. Class leading AF without proper (and cheap) means to control it. I love to shoot both stills and video. So what – I should buy both? Than this canon. I don’t really need 4k this year for sure. But this canon, as it seems, doesn’t have any class leading features at all. But, because of what I wrote, more important, that 80D doesn’t have any epic fails – thus receiving more universal do-it-all mark for me. I have not tested the accuracy with a wide open f/1.2 yet. The Sigma 30mm f/1.4 seems to hit it once narrowed to 2.8. Lastly, I’ll run through a few of the 80D’s mirrorless competitors briefly, although this is such a big market that it is not possible to cover everything:

In my opinion DPR does not treat Canon, like they care for Sony and Nikon. What are their motives, I don't know, but it is my opinion. Maybe they think Canon is much bigger than Nikon as a corporation, and they like the David's of this world. Compared to its predecessor, the 70D, the Canon 80D adds a few noteworthy features that many photographers will find valuable. Canon EOS 80D: Aluminum alloy & polycarbonate construction, capable of operating in temperatures between 0°C and 40°C

I bought the 80D as it uses the same batteries and lenses as my 5D3. I got the flat 24mm f/2.8 and the new Sigma Zoom 17-300mm which seemed like the single lens solution for my travels. Time will tell. On the EOS 80D, Canon has improved AF response whether shooting using the eye level viewfinder, or the alternative of the LCD screen when the camera is switched to Live View mode. Matching the EOS 77D we’re putting it up against here, the 80D offers its users 45 AF points, which are again all cross type. In this case, the two cameras have exactly the same control layout. Clearly, existing 80D users will find the 90D very familiar to use overall.Find sources: "Canon EOS 80D"– news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR ( October 2020) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message) The focusing improvements don’t end here. When shooting using the viewfinder the 80D features a newly developed autofocus module that is a big upgrade on the 70D. There are now 45 AF points compared with the 19 AF points on the 70D, and all these are the cross type. The AF system isn’t too dissimilar from the Canon EOS-1D Mark IV, and out of the 45 AF points on offer 27 remain active when using a teleconverter and lens combination with a maximum aperture of f/8. Furthermore, the centre point is sensitive down to f/2.8, and the working range of the autofocus system (-3EV-18EV) is more in line with its closest rival, the Nikon D7200. The Canon 80D lineup has always competed relatively closely with Nikon’s D7000 lineup, sharing many specifications and features. That’s just as true against the newer D7200 and D7500 cameras. Rather than utilising Canon’s latest DIGIC 7 image processor, the sensor teams up with the manufacturer’s older, but still powerful, DIGIC 6 image processor. This pairing allows the 80D to shoot from ISO 100-16,000 (expandable to ISO 25,600), which works out to be a 1-stop sensitivity gain over the 70D. However, it’s no faster at rattling out a continuous burst than its predecessor, at 7fps. There’s also the option to shoot at 3fps in the 80D’s silent shooting mode, and it’s possible to rattle off a burst at 5fps in live view mode. Once again, on the EOS 80D we get bog standard Full HD video rather than a more exciting and up-to-date 4K resolution. However, it does boast an external microphone port with the ability for volume to be manually adjusted in camera, while ‘movies’ can be shot in a choice of MOV or MP4 format. On top of this, Canon’s Video Snapshot feature is to hand to help anyone create more dynamic short films in-camera. Canon 77D vs 80D: burst shooting (fps)

Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, Tungsten, White Fluorescent, Flash, Kelvin (2500K– 10000K in 100K steps) In short, the 90D is a vastly improved camera compared to the already-great 80D. Camera Body Comparison Of these points, 27 will support autofocus at f/8 when the body is attached to one of two specific lens/ teleconverter combinations (the Canon 100-400 Mark II with 1.4x III or the Canon 200-400 with 2x III). Any other lens/teleconverter combinations resulting in an aperture of f/8 will only function with the center point. The 80D is the first non-professional EOS body that can autofocus in this situation; previous non-professional bodies could not autofocus if the maximum aperture of an attached lens/teleconverter combination was smaller than f/5.6. As you can see, there are a huge number of differences between the 80D and 90D – not really surprising, given a difference of more than three years between their announcements. As we’d expect, the 80D is a well-built upgrade of the 70D that camera before it with sensibly arranged controls, good ergonomics and an extensive feature set. Sporting overall dimensions of 139x105x79mm, it weighs a chunkier 730g body-only according to official Canon stats, so noticeably more than the more plastic-y build of the 77D. There will be those, however, who are reassured rather than perturbed by this added bulk, especially when compared to the average APS-C sensor mirrorless camera. Overall this camera’s handling is excellent, with a nicely-rounded and robust handgrip helping ensure steadier shooting. Canon 77D vs 80D: other featuresI have shot with my "L" lenses and it is impossible to tell which picture comes from the 5D3 and which one from the 80D without the info panel. this is on the laptop screen only, thus far. In the case of the Canon EOS 70D, the stand-out feature was its Dual Pixel CMOS AF system built into its 20.2-million-pixel sensor that redefined the speed of autofocus in live view and movie mode. This game-changing technology was always going to leave the 70D’s successor with big boots to fill and begs the question, is the Canon EOS 80D another revolutionary DSLR or more of a modest update on what we’ve already seen before?
