According to the review, the Canon EOS 80D is one of the most worthy DSLR cameras today. Not only is it inheriting the 24MP APS CMOS sensor from the Canon 70D before, it also features an advanced 45-point AF Cross-Focus system, which outperforms the 70d’s former 19-point AF technology. Continuous and follow the subject in the frame.
In addition, the machine also has a body that is dust and moisture resistant by covering with polycarbonate and magnesium alloy.
When compared to the Canon 70D Mark II, the 80D is not integrated. The Intelligent Tracking and Recognition (AFS) Intelligent Tracking and Recognition (AF) system identifies people or subjects in the frame and autofocus.
Advantage:
In general, the image delivers high quality, ISO performance as well as RAW image quality much better than previous generations. Both the AF autofocus system and the AF CMOS dual-focus AFM system are both fast and responsive. Sound quality through headphones and battery life are standard.
Disadvantages:
The image on the tube gives the image a medium sharpness. 80D does not support 4K video quality and lack HDMI port. In addition, the video recording time is limited to less than 30 minutes and the AF autofocus system in low light conditions does not deliver the expected picture.

Image Sensor and Quality
Sensor and image quality
24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor, Canon’s DIGIC 6 doing the processing. Plenty of resolution for big prints. Image quality holds up from bright daylight into a dim room too, noise stays under control even as things get darker. Dynamic range is decent, shadows and highlights both keep their detail, which is really where it counts if you’re shooting landscapes at dawn or dusk. Colors come out natural rather than punched up, standard Canon color science.
Autofocus and performance
45 autofocus points, all cross-type, a real step up from the previous generation. It locks on fast and accurately in most situations, and the center point especially holds up in low light. Same system covers stills and video.
7 fps burst, enough for action or sports, buffer doesn’t bog down either.
Shutter’s 1/8000 to 30 seconds. Optical viewfinder, close to full frame, so what you see is close to what you get.
Video
1080p at 24, 25, or 30p, or 720p at 50/60p if you want smoother slow-motion. Sharp detail, accurate color, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF holds focus steady while you’re rolling. Manual control over aperture, shutter, and ISO comes standard.
Connectivity
Wi-Fi, NFC, Bluetooth, all working through Canon’s Camera Connect app for transfer and remote shooting. Menus are easy to get around, and the vari-angle touchscreen means you’re not stuck using only the physical buttons. Everything responds quickly.
Lenses
Full EF and EF-S compatibility, wide to telephoto. Speedlite flashes work, and the BG-E14 grip is worth it for long days, more battery, a steadier hold, extra controls.
How it compares
The D7200 is close on resolution and autofocus, just a step behind on burst speed: 6 fps to the 80D’s 7. The Sony A77 II leaves both behind at 12 fps, though it trades the optical viewfinder for an electronic one, which either bothers you or it doesn’t. The Pentax K-70 goes for weather sealing and built-in stabilization instead of a touchscreen, a different set of priorities entirely.
Where it wins and where it doesn’t
The sensor, the touchscreen, the autofocus, and Dual Pixel AF for video are the reasons to buy this camera. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth make sharing painless. The body’s built solid.
No 4K video and no in-body stabilization are real omissions at this point. It’s heavier than a mirrorless equivalent, battery life is fine but not exceptional, and it costs more than entry-level bodies.
Still, for someone who wants a capable DSLR with strong stills and workable video, it holds up.
