Canon EOS 80D
The Canon EOS 80D is a digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on February 18, 2016. It has the same body-only MSRP as the Canon [EOS 70D], which it replaces. The camera can be purchased as a body-only, as kit with the 18-55mm IS STM lens, with the new 18-135mm IS USM lens or with the EF-S 18-200mm IS. As a part of the Canon EOS two-digit line, it is the successor to the EOS 70D and is the predecessor of the EOS 90D.
The camera is aimed at mid-market, semi-pro and enthusiast photographers.
New features from 70D
Compared to the EOS 70D, several modifications were made, including:- New 24.2-megapixel dual-pixel CMOS sensor
- 45 cross-type AF points, compared to 19 for the 70D
- * Of these points, 27 will support autofocus at 8 when the body is attached to one of two specific lens/teleconverter combinations. Any other lens/teleconverter combinations resulting in an aperture of 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 5.6.
