The canon EOS 80D is a digital single-lens reflex camera announced by Canon on February 18, 2016,it has the same body as the previous one the Canon EOS 70D, the 80D have 45- point hybrid AF system with all of the poinnts being cross-type not like the old one the 70D that had 19- point AF system, The camera can be purchased as a body-only , the body that is sealed againt dust and moisture
Canon EOS 80D Features :
- 24MP APS-C CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel AF
- 45- point AF system with all cross-type points
- 3'' 1.04M-dot articulating touchscreen
- 1080/60p video capture
- 7 fps continuous shoting with AF
- wheather resistant body
- 7560- pixel RGB+IR Metering sensor
- Wi-Fi + NFC
Similar to the earlier Canon T6s, the heart of the new 80D is a 24.2-megapixel APS-C CMOS imaging sensor, which is a modest resolution increase over the 20.2MP chip in the 70D. Unlike the T6s, the Canon 80D's higher-res sensor, not surprisingly, sports Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology. Paired with this all-new sensor is a faster DIGIC 6 image processor, up from the DIGIC 5+ of the 70D. The ISO range is relatively unchanged, however the native maximum ISO gets a small boost from 12,800 to 16,000. The maximum expanded ISO remains the same, though, at 25,600. The native ISO range for video mode, however, is set between 100-12,800, though it can be expanded to 25,600, too, should you need the extra boost.
In addition to Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the new Canon EOS 80D sports some nice upgrades to traditional through-the-viewfinder autofocusing. First and foremost, the 80D gains a sizable improvement to the number of AF points, going from 19 to a healthy 45 all cross-type AF points. The coverage area of the 80D's new 45-point array has been expanded both horizontally and vertically to cover more of the frame compared to the earlier 70D.
Benefitting stills shooting with the optical viewfinder, a wide-area 45-point all cross-type phase-detection autofocus system provides quick and precise focusing in difficult lighting conditions down to -3 EV. For working with telephoto lenses fitted with extenders, 27 of the points are capable of focusing down to f/8 and the center dual cross-type offers increased precision at brighter aperture values. The cross-type design of the sensors affords greater accuracy in low-contrast and mixed lighting conditions, and the broad coverage of the 45 sensors is ideal for tracking and maintaining focus on moving subjects. Making use of the 45-points is a series of four AF area selection modes, including single-point AF; Zone AF, where you can select from one of nine AF zones; Large Zone AF, which offers a choice of three selectable zones; and 45-point AF auto selection, which allows the camera to select a single point automatically.
When recording video or shooting in live view, a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is employed that offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor to reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene, as well as the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to change focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.
Full HD 1080p Video Recording
Unique to most video recording systems, the 80D also features an HDR Movie mode that can be used to achieve greater highlight and shadow detail when recording in high contrast scenarios. This mode captures two HD frames at different exposures, one normal and one underexposed, in short succession at up to 60 fps and then composites them during playback at 30 fps to create a movie with a longer-appearing dynamic range.
Body Design and Built-In Wi-Fi with NFC
- 3.0" 1.04m-dot ClearView II touchscreen LCD features a vari-angle design to permit working from high and low angles and the touchscreen design facilitates intuitive control over menu navigation and touch-to-focus operation.
- The pentaprism type Intelligent Viewfinder offers 100% frame coverage for high compositional accuracy when shooting at eye-level. Additionally, further aiding shooting with the viewfinder, AF points and mode, compositional grids, a horizontal electronic level, and other assistive features can be displayed during use.
- Both photos and movies can be wirelessly shared to smartphones or tablets, using the Canon Camera Connect app, for instant online sharing or backed up to the Canon Connect Station CS100 via built-in Wi-Fi with NFC connectivity. Remote shooting from a linked mobile device is also available, allowing you to wirelessly configure exposure settings or release the shutter.
- The high-performance shutter mechanism has been tested for up to 100,000 cycles.
