I still use my 80D for all photos, I love it, nice weight and clean shots. It also works great with my Sigma 150-600mm, it is a real work horse, I am not even thinking about upgrading now because I really don't see any huge advantage with mirrorless for the work I do. Also, I think that mirrorless are a bit to pricy and over-rated. (but that is just me)
Yes, in a few words you best described the 80D: "it is a real work horse". This is why I bought one for myself, because I read so many comments like this one. I`m glad you`re satisfied with it! The Sigma 150-600mm lens is also great!
80D is built ahead of it's time. Much respect.
Had my 80D for 6 weeks and loving it - does everything I want it to and more
I love the way you present it! It's so friendly and professional and keeps us listening. More power!
Thank you very much! Indeed, I get more power (motivation) while reading an encouraging comment! I appreciate that you took some of your time to write it! All the best to you too!
i watched many videos about it, didn't not helped enough, but this one help me making decision, i am now sure that i really want this particular camera. thank you sir.
Being poor, I scooped up the SL1 in 2015. Loved it so much, that at the 7 year mark, I snatched up another.
Having Magic Lantern, made it very hard to justify a small upgrade.
Now that this camera is in my affordable range, I have been wanting the 80D so bad.
I have a huge feeling that it's going to be a huge jump, like switching from driving a Yugo to a Cadillac! lol
Thank You For Your Review Sir!
I am glad to hear that you enjoy cameras, cherish your gear, and will now get the 80D! You had good times with the SL1, and you'll have great times with the 80D! Enjoy them! All the best!
Your helpful comments are spot-on about this camera: I had a 250D Rebel SL3 and whilst it got great reviews and great list of features it just felt too small and plastic in my hands after my previous 650D. I sold it and thought I could make do with my iPhone 13 XS Max which takes fabulous pictures - but until then I've had an SLR since I was 14 in 1981 and I missed the feel of a proper SLR camera in my hands, looking through a proper viewfinder, switching lenses and thinking about aperture, etc. I managed to find a little-used and boxed 80D at a great price on eBay, and as you say, it just feels right and solid. So glad I decided to go back to a DSLR alongside my iPhone. Thanks again!
P.S. How did you find the shutter actuations count please?
I bought it from a camera store. They had it in their second-hand department, where they also had a computer program for finding out the shutter count. I didn't find it out myself and don't know how to do that, but Google seems to show a lot of results if you search 'shutter count Canon 80D.
@@cameraexplorations ah ok thanks for the tip 👍
You're off to a good start with your channel. Keep up the good work.
Thank you so much!
Something to be mentioned is the exceptional build quality of the Canon DSLR Cameras. I have Canons back to the original 5d (2005) and 40d. They are still working fine! I used 450d, several 7d , 6d, 70d, 200d. I never had any issues.
Yes, Canon's DSLR cameras really have a sturdy build, especially the mid-range and high-end ones! Glad you mentioned it!
I installed Cinestyle into my 80D.
I've owned my Canon 80D for six years. It's done very good for me all these years. My camera is also used as well. I bought it from the used department at B&H here in New York City.
I am glad to hear that!
Me too, still use the cam as my main camera besides Gopro, IPhone 15 and the mini3 Drone for all the vids on my chanel
I bought it in 2018 and I m still very fond of it. With a prime lens it s awesome. This year I upgraded to a R6 mark II which is now my main camera but I still use the 80d for a dual camera setup in the kitchen. I find that the 80d has helped me to understand photography and after a few years I had to upgrade but i still use it often. I just dont want to part with it
The R6 Mark II is great! The R6 Mark I convinced me that mirrorless cameras are the future. However, the 80D is legendary, having been widely used by photographers and vloggers. I think it was Canon's first truly advanced crop sensor DSLR, which is why it remains relevant today. Considering its impressive history and excellent image quality, I completely understand why you're attached to it and reluctant to let it go.
Thank you for your excellent video
👍🙏
❤❤ Just found your video. Really helpful. But for now still loving my old 60D. Hopefully will get 80D soon
I'm glad you enjoyed it! I used to have a 60, but I eventually sold it. It was a reliable camera.
Lol 😆 I STILL shoot on my 60d as well! It’s been a workhorse! But I’m about to retire it with additional 80ds for HD video production.
I found this very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
I was so blessed to find this camera, brand new, with an auto zoom lens, on sale, for $300 less than the body had been selling alone, while taking photography 1 in college, & needing a dslr. I had a nikon 'bridge' camera, that I was getting by with. When I found 80d for just a slight bit more than the most basic intro kits, I couldn't believe it. I didn't totally understand what a gem I was getting at the time, as a step up from the bottom line level canons/ nikons, but all i read, such as covered in this video, convinced me it was definitely better than the bottom level basic kits. I'm still learning to use everything on it, going through several lesson books. I found the microphone amazing great too. I joined virtual international choirs during the pandemic, & I got awesome sound quality with the camera across the room. I''m still learning to use everything on this camera, but it is perfect for my #1 need, which is to have high quality photos of my artwork. I love the touch screen, for selecting focus area so easy when in a hurry
Good to hear that you're enjoying your Canon 80D! Cheers!
Had my 80D for hiking and travelling for nearly 5 years, still functioning well with my Canon lenses love it love it
Excellent!
Yes and yes. The 80D is still awesome in a world of 4K mirrorless, and EF lenses are also still outstanding.
Nice Explanation !
Glad you liked it!
I was thinking about replacing my 80d with a r7. your video reassures me that my 80d will do for now. I also have the eos r which I am impressed with. Thanks for the video. I am a new subscriber.
I'm happy to assist! The R7 is a new camera with better image quality than the 80D. But if you have an EOS R, you likely knew this. If the 80D works well for you, then definitely keep it. It's still a fantastic camera!
Phenomenal!
Thank you, Alexander!
You deserve more views and subs
Thank you very much! May the YT algorithm hear you! All the best!
I use 70D not much difference between 70D and 80D and a good choice of lenses i have battery pack on my 70D and a bit heavy when outside. Thanks again
I love this camera I have had it since 2017 and I bought it used and it has been a workhorse. I actually stopped using it for years because I thought it was old, but then I got a job as a product photographer and started using this camera again and I have loveed it again. I have actually rented some of the Canon R’s because I was thinking of upgrading, and get stuck in the mindset that newer is better, but I don’t really like them besides the 32 megapixels on the R & R7. Bet look wise and ergonomics the 80 D just looks and feels better! And is more than suitable for what I need. I’d rather buy a better lens at this point and upgrade when something is really worth it
It's great to read this story in 2023 about the Canon 80D! I'm glad you're still enjoying it and appreciate how well it (still) serves our needs!
Had mine for 4 months and after purchasing a few extra lenses.
Other pro to mention: the battery! You can study, and shoot testing 2x or 3x time more than any R mirroless series. A con couldmentioned: no magic lantern to clean hdmi out with MF and other little improvements that would put 80d closer to a 90D.
Thanks for adding this! It is useful for people who are looking through the comments section. Surely, there are even more things that can be added; I covered most of the main ones. An entire book can be written about the Canon 80D. I know that a CZcams video can't cover everything, so I'm glad when I see additional info in the comments section.
Thanks for your review. I have an option to buy an 80D and an 800d and some lenses in mint condition from a friend. I will be aiming to go down that track. cheers geoff
Good cameras (both of them)! Enjoy your gear! You're gonna have a good time with it! All the best!
I also have 80 d canon with 10 mm 18 mm lens and 150 mm 600 Sigma it's excellent camera from canon..
The 80D replaced an aging 7D this week. I love the versatility of the 80D. Still relevant in May 2023. Can use any EF-s and EF lens. Can use an EF-RF adapter too.
The Canon 7D was my second DSLR, good camera, but the 80D is much better! Definitely, the latter is still relevant in 2023. It will continue to be a great camera! Enjoy your 80D!
Can we use RF lenses in ef 80d with adapter
@@paulpritam7054 No.
Hi, I was an beginner in photography been thinking about buying canon 80d. Then I saw Sony a7ii which is more compact. I need help/suggestions on what camera I’ve to buy, I just want a camera that is good for daily photography, lightweight, I don’t really care about 4K video(1080 is already good for me). Or is there any other alternative or good camera that you can suggest, ty🤍. (Was thinking in buying Sony a7ii)
Hi! Congratulations on your decision to buy a camera and enjoy photography! Definitely, the Sony A7ii is a better camera. It’s not just smaller and lighter (things that you really want), but having a full frame (bigger) sensor, it is also better at image quality. So, yes, go for the Sony a7ii, it’s a good one.
Complimenti bel video. Possiedo la 80D con il 18-135 IS USM e il 50 1.8 STM. Mi puoi consigliare un teleobiettivo zoom ? Grazie
Grazie! Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM è il miglior teleobiettivo economico per questa fotocamera. Se vuoi un teleobiettivo più grande: Sigma 100-400mm F5-6.3 DG HSM OS Contemporary
@@cameraexplorations
Thank you very much
NICE REVEAL
Thank you!
thanks for this. you gave me insights. im buying it hahaha
Glad I could help! Enjoy your Canon 80D!
hey, just bought my First 80D EOS a used one, at a pretty good deal.
Nice! Enjoy it! 😀
I love your video, can you tell me what camera did you used to make this video?
I'm glad you like my video! Thanks for the feedback! Sure, I can tell you what camera(s) I used to make this video: 1. Canon M6 Mark II + Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 (as the main camera, for a-roll, while I'm talking in front of the camera) , 2. Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III + Olympus 17mm f/1.8 lens (for the majority of b-roll shots, in the park), 3. Canon M50 + Canon EF-M 22mm/f (for b-roll inside the house).
which lens have you used to record the ducks?and which lens do you recommend to buy for the 80D i am beginner.☺️
Hi! For recording the ducks I used the big Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 Contemporary lens. For beginners that have a Canon camera, I always recommend the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM - a very good lens, useful in low light conditions and for a lot of situations. You would also need a lens that allows you to get wide angles, the Canon 18-55mm kit lens is fine for this. If you also want a good telephoto zoom lens at a low price, this is the best option: Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM - it is one of the best cheap telephoto zoom lenses.
Thanks for the informative vid! I just unearthed mine and thinking of selling it for a mirrorless but want to give it another shot! What settings would you recommend for talking head videos inside a room?
Regarding settings, things get complicated, and a CZcams video explaining how to use and set the camera for talking head videos inside a room will help more than my comment. The lens used (its aperture), the light source (window/LED), frame rate (which affects shutter speed), and ISO are all important factors. There are many variables, which is why a video is necessary. I can share what I use if it helps, but your conditions might be different: ISO 250, f/2.8, 1/50 because I have an LED light source, a lens with a maximum aperture of f/2.8, and I am shooting in 24p. So, bottom line-research and learning are needed. Try out different settings and also watch tutorials specific to your needs, and you will get it. It all depends on the camera, lens, and light source you have. All the best!
@@cameraexplorations thank you!
Yeah, I agree thanks for the no nonsense approach to the camera and its ups and down sides. Yep, dual card slots would be nice and 4K Video even better but hey, it is what it is. It is far more solid than the Mirrorless clan of cameras too, very robust.
Agreed!
I’ve had the 80D for about 5 years. I agree it’s very comfortable to hold, even with XL hands I’m able to hold it securely at odd angles. It solid too that’s important to a clumsy person as I am. Over all I agree with everything except the connectivity, the App is horrific, Bluetooth is old and slow, USB A is pitiful so I have to pop the SD card out. I’m thinking of upgrading to the 90D for a slightly better sensor if I can find one cheap.
Indeed, it's a very comfortable camera for people with big hands. It is also long-lasting, thanks to the good build quality (5 years is a lot). Of course, it also has its flaws: the USB A, the dreadful App, but, with some patience, we can make it work. In my opinion, the Canon 90D is quite a major upgrade, not just a camera with a slightly better sensor. I also have a Canon M6 Mark II (same sensor like the 90D) - the ISO performances are quite impressive - clean images at ISO 1600, even decent at ISO 2000. Also, there's the 32.5 Mpx sensor, great for heavy crops. Of course, a modern Full Frame camera has much better image quality, but it's fascinating to see how much the modern APS-C sensors improved. I hope you'll find a cheap 90D! All the best!
@@cameraexplorations agreed the 90D is a bit more than a minor upgrade. Thanks for the reply :-)
@@snowmannyc1But i heard you may have to upgrade your lenses too, if buying the 90D, due to many lenses struggling to resolve detail from the large amount of 90D pixels :/
hello, do you know if it resist high temperature like for example taking it to ZAHARA DESSER IN MOROCCO?
This is what it says, on Canon's website, regarding the 80D specifications -> Operating Environment:
0 - 40 °C, 85% or less humidity . Hope it helps!
Which one do you feel is better, Canon rebel T7 or canon 80D when it comes to focusing quickly, staying focused on subjects, and taking quick shots???
I never tried the Rebel T7, but I strongly believe that the 80D is better (at focusing quickly, staying focused on subjects, and taking quick shots), because it is a mid-range to high-end camera, while the T7 is an entry-level camera.
Great review! I’m considering a nice deal on this body with a 70-200mm lens
The lens also does not have image stabilization… is it a deal breaker for shooting amateur kids sports like hockey and soccer?
Now anything would be a major upgrade coming from a digital rebel 2ti with a 55-200mm
If you want to shoot sports like hockey and soccer, since there is a lot of action going on, I would encourage you to get a Canon R10 or, if you have the budget, a Canon R7 or the full frame Canon R6. The Canon 80D struggles a bit with autofocus when there's action going on. It will do a decent job and the 70-200 lens is good, but if the events that you're shooting are important to you, simply get one of the 3 cameras mentioned above - you will bring more shots home. That is my opinion.
@@cameraexplorationsThanks so much for your input. I’ll take a look at those cameras.
I have the same résolution as with my R6 mark II, but I keep my 90D..and there is a small evolution compared to my 80D...
Yes, the R6 Mark II has the same 24MP resolution, as the 80D. I haven`t yet tried the 90D, but I think it`s a good camera. Unfortunately (and most probably), it will be the last APS-C sensor dslr made by Canon. I will miss them.
Great presentation, pls advice me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1500$, used or new one without overheating issue, pls reply.
In my opinion, in this price range, for weddings, Canon R6, for sure (1500$ used, 1999$ new).
@@cameraexplorations thank you so much for your reply.
after watching this video i decided to buy 80D..thank you!
Glad to hear this! Enjoy your 80D!
hi sir, please give me camera recommendation between 80d, 200dii or a6400 for photos and videos. Thank you
For photos and videos, the Sony A6400 is the best camera of the three, it is also the most expensive.
My canon 80D has been displaying something strange saying that CAMERA INTERNAL TEMPERATURE TOO HIGH. CAN'T SHOOT.
Please how to resolve the issue
That is a normal behavior that we can see with every camera brand. If we record for long periods of time, the camera's electronics heat up. It is programmed to automatically shut down to avoid damage. The only thing we can do is let it cool off.
bro, do you think if I buy a sony a6000, it will also be suitable for videography? ??
Yes, but it has no microphone port and no fully articulated flip screen too see yourself.. find something with microphone port and flip screen. All the best!
The 80D was ahead of it's time and will be a work horse for many many more years to come.
I’ve bought the R6 mk ii and keep using my 77D
The 77D, very similar to the 80D. Another nice camera!
What about high ISO? I have to shoot a wedding soon, it will be indoor and I am not sure if Canon 80 D can handle it,probbly even with a flash I still have to shoot with high ISO
Full Frame cameras (like the Canon 6D, for example) are better for weddings. I would recommend borrowing one + a 24-70mm f/2.8 and flash. You could get good results with a 80D also (decent at iso 1600, Photoshop's Raw Image noise reduction will also help a lot in processing), but if you're planning to do more weddings I would recommend a full frame camera. Larger sensor=better in low light. All the best!
Very good summary, thank you. Have you noticed any problems in the performance of the 80D, such as the soft focusing issue seen in the 90D? I was thinking to buy the 90D; but due to that problem, im now considering the 80D. My choice will be for macro, ICM and maybe some street photography. Thanks for any info :)
I just picked up a 80d in great condition for $350 on OfferUp. I too saw the issue with the 90d and went with the 80d
@@InvertedPilot Nice deal. Ive seen similar here in UK. Thanks for sharing the reason for your choice too. I hope you enjoy your acquisition 👍🏻
On the 80D, I haven't noticed the "soft focusing issue" seen in the 90D. Some people say the 90D has that problem, while others don't experience it. I believe it might be related to the large 32.5MP sensor, which is more demanding on any lens. There is a video on CZcams about it called "Canon's 90D (M6ii) Soft Focus Issue". I don't have more information on this topic. Regardless of which camera you choose, it would be great if you could return it after a few days of testing to ensure everything is working properly, just to be 100% sure all is good.
@@cameraexplorations Thats a positive :) Yes i too thought the soft image issue was connected to lens resolving power and the 32 megapixels. Anyway I ordered an 80D earlier today, so we see. Thanks for your reply and info.
Wonderful video. Believe it or not, I still do pro work on my 80D. Will upgrade next month to Canon R7, mainly for the 4K 60 fps.
Thank you! Glad to hear that you're still using the 80D! I know the results that it brings and, for sure, it is still good for pro work. Now that you're getting the R7 it will be even better: 4K at 60fps, IBIS, improved autofocus. A friend of mine owns one. It's simply great!
How do you think it compared with tthe canon 750d(t7i) and the Olympus em10 mark ii
For sure the 80D is better than both: better image quality and focusing capabilities
@@cameraexplorations Sorry I meant 800d(t7i) is it the same reply?
800D and 80D are almost the same at image quality. The 80D brings better control and weather sealing
I own an 80 D and was curious just how good modern mirrorless is. I rented a Sony A74, which is 33mp, with a 24-70 f2.8 G master lens. I set up a controlled shoot with my 80 D and my Tamron 24-70 f2.8. Using the exact settings and only compensating for the 1.6 crop factor, to get the same image and focus point. The results surprised me ! Side by side in Lightroom, 1/2 of the images I seen no difference in quality. And that is zoomed in at 2-1. But on the other 1/2 of the images you could barely , and I mean barely, see a slight improvement. But that is pixel peeping at the extreme. So if you print anything up to 20 x 30, you would never see the difference!!! So in conclusion, I will save my 80D until something is worth upgrading to. Maybe in 6 to 8 years.
Ah, you did a nice experiment (that's work)! Thank you for sharing the result with us! I agree, the differences (at least for jpegs) are insignificant. The difference comes more from the RAW files - In Photoshop, you could probably perfectly fix a 2-3 stop overexposed image (that has whites in it) on the Sony A7 4 ; but when it comes to jpegs... very small differences between the two. The 80D is not just good enough, it's still a great keeper for the next years.
After just purchasing my first ever camera, the EOS 2000D, I already feel like making a wrong choice. Of course the 2000D is great for beginners like me and can take beautiful photos when used in right hands. But now I really wish I bought myself a 80D or a similar camera. What do you think, did I make a wrong choice and should I return/sell my 2000D and buy a used 80D or some other good DSLR? I'm probably not gonna move into the mirrorless camera world yet. Just wanna have a decent camera with articulating screen and great focus. And to the guy in this video, thanks a lot for making it!
Hi, I'm the guy from the video, thank you! Here are my thoughts: A retractable screen gives you more flexibility (low angles, high angles without effort). It also allows you to stay more incognito while photographing people, because you're looking down at the screen, not up, through the viewfinder. A retractable screen makes even more sense if you want to shoot videos. But here's also the second part: My first dslr camera was an Olympus E-410 (that was released in 2007). It didn't even record videos. I learned a lot with that camera, so if you have a dslr camera and just want to learn photography it is already enough - don't hate that camera too much because you might start to hate photography. It is a good camera to start with. Go for a 80D if you want to record video/vlogs or if the 2000D really bugs you, but from my view, as I told you, it is a good first dslr.
@@cameraexplorations Thank you so much for the answer! And I do agree with you. It could be partly my ADHD that made me so interested in photography, but it's really now a new thing. Just the camera stuff is new now. And I do realize my 2000D is a good choice for first dslr. I just still cant help myself watching so many videos of a bit better cameras and in general just how to learn to be a good photographer. The big reason for me choosing the 2000D was the good offer I saw online. It was from Proshop and cost me 399€ (including kit lens 18-55mm + battery + bag + shoulder strap). Later I also bought a used 55-250mm for it from ebay. And soon will get my first tripod ever. Feeling pretty excited.
399€ is a good price for the camera (+ kit lens 18-55mm + battery + bag + shoulder strap). I also am looking at cameras/prices/comparisons, even now, when I have 5 cameras (1 dslr + 4 mirrorless ones). I don't need a new/different camera, but marketing/consumerism, over time, made us very obsessed with products/prices. We should take a break from that, from time to time, we should go outside more, in nature - a camera is a very good thing because it encourages us to leave the house. So good luck with your Canon 2000D! You now have a new buddy! It's a good thing that you also got the 55-200mm (good lens). You can always switch to a different Canon APS-C sensor camera and still use the lenses, but for now enjoy what you have! Enjoy photography! All the best!
@@cameraexplorationsGreat advice. Its easy to be in a permanent state of unrest when listening to so much hype for new gear, 'best' gear, expensive gear on youtube and internet in general. Its important to tune out of that 'noise', often, and get 'doing', not just 'watching'; and enjoy what we have.
hey, i accept that 80d was a solid player among canon dslrs. but dose 80d is better than sony a6400 🤔🤔. im confused in this point, can you please help to choose my upgrading cam. 80d or a6400 ? and i love to shoot bird photography, action photography and low light photography ( not having needs lights or softbox 😬😬😬)
Hi! For those needs (bird photography/action shots, good in low light) I would go for the Sony A6400, since it is a newer camera (2019 vs 2016), has Animal Eye AF Tracking and better low light performance.
@@cameraexplorations thanks for you suggestion on my query ✌️✌️✌️
Excelent video... If you liked the OMD EM10 Mark III, high chances that you would like even better the OMD EM1 Mark II instead this Canon 80D.
Excelent camera, sensor and available lenses, but I think that for roughly the same price of the EM1 Mark II (both used) the Olympus check almost all boxes in your Cons list and difference in high ISO performance, DOF o DR are almost non existent.
Regards and keep creating more content
Thank you very much for the encouragement (and the camera recommendation) , Emiliano! I definitely started to like Olympus a lot and all the outside 4k broll shots were taken with the OMD EM10 Mark III (except the ones where I show sample shots of the Canon 80D, of course). I will continue creating videos. All the best to you too!
Really helpful video!
Thank you so much for the feedback! It's great to hear that my video is helpful!
is it good for basketball photography? and what lens should i get? thank you
1. Lighting conditions, 2. focusing speed and 3. lens choice is important for sports. For 1. It depends a lot where you're shooting. If its indoors I would go for a better camera that can handle low light situations better (like the Canon R10, for example, or even better, a Full Frame Canon R6, if you have the bugdet). For 2. It is an average performer on focusing speed, it gets the job done, but a new R generation mirrorless camera would be better. For 3, lenses, I would get a wide angle zoom lens and a telephoto lens. The Canon 80D was a good camera in 2016, when it was released. Now it is a decent camera. If you are serious about sports photography (and, of course, if the budget allows) I would go for a recent Canon Mirrorless camera from the R generation. Hope this helps!
? @cameraexplorations thanks a lot sir. what camera would you recommend for beginner and also a budget friendly camera?
A camera that has a fully articulated flipscreen, a viewfinder and, preferably, Dual Pixel AF (Canon's autofocus system). If you could find one one these, on the used market, it will be a good inexpensive option: Canon 760D, Canon 800D, Canon 77D, Canon 250D or Canon 80D. All the best!
For exclusive photography is 80d better than 90d ? I'm undecided between the two
There are better performances on the 90D, it is a newer model, that is also more expensive.
Hi brother which best camera canon 80d. And canon 5d4
Hii! For sure the Canon 5D Mark 4 is a much better camera.
im confused between the 80d and the m50 mark ii, which should i go for
Hi! First of all, let me start with this: The M50 Mark II was designed for filming/vloggers, the 80D is for photographers, but it can also do decent work on video. The 80D was released in 2016, the M50 Mark II was released in 2020, so the M50 Mark II has more recent technology in it - it terms of image quality, it is better. It is quite hard to handle the M50 because it is very small and light, but, on the other hand, you can take it with you everywhere you'll go. The 80D is bulkier, heavier, but it handles well (quickly). You'll have to decide for yourself - what is most important for you. From my experience, as time went by, I became more inclined to go for mirrorless cameras (like the M50) because I do more video work and I tend to use a camera more if its smaller. If you want something that beats both of them (and you have more budget), simply go for a Canon R10 (without IBIS) or R7 (with IBIS) and the story ends, because those two are beasts on handling, photos and videos. If you're on a budget, the 80D and M50 Mark II are fine too (still relevant, still good). Hope it helps!
@@cameraexplorations thanks :)
I'm a bit surpised that superior battery life wasn't mentioned, or did I miss it?
Good addition! This wasn't mentioned. Indeed, it has a great battery life! Up to roughly 1000 shots with a fresh-new original battery.
Currently saving up for an 80d I’m tired of poor focusing cameras
Yes, with an 80D you won't be having issues on video, thanks to the Dual Pixel AF. Good focusing capabilities also for stills (with the mirror down). All the best!
XLNT, high grade,

Yes, the trusty 80D.
I have 80d camera since 2016.. Took for traveling vlog..
Shoot some videos.. It's on my channel..
Just want to ask.. Which lens I can use for better videography..????
Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon EF
@@cameraexplorations thanks a lot ... I can use this for traveling vlog for my youtube.
I still love my 80d, I looked at the R series but I didn't really like the looks of the electronic viewfinders so decided to invest more money in lenses than a newer body.
Glad that you are enjoying your 80D! I was also discouraged by the electronic viewfinder when I first picked up a mirrorless camera - was saying to myself that I will never switch to mirrorless. Now I'm somewhere in between. The R6, R7 are beasts (great focusing speed and image quality). One day I will make the full transition to mirrorless, but, for now, I'm keeping my 80D, next to the 3 other mirrorless cameras that I own.
What do you think of R50 compared to 80D?
You have much better control with the 80D (comfortable in the hands), while the R50 has much better image quality (on both photo and video) because it's a new generation camera.
I'm thinking about buying a Canon 80d for CZcams videos, is it worth buying 2023?
Iphone 11 ,,, canon 80 d ?
Hi! Yes, definitely. A camera with a flip screen, like the 80D gives you a lot more control (dials, buttons, good grip on it). On top of that, its sensor is 15-20x larger than the iphone`s camera sensor - this translates into better colors/shadow/highlights and low light performance. It also depends what type of vlogs you want to do. If, most of the time, you`ll stay inside the house, with the camera on a tripod, the 80D is fine - but if, most of the time, you go on the streets, filming your face, a smaller/lighter camera is better (like the Canon M50).
@@cameraexplorations thank you very much for the answers
I shoot videos sometimes at home, sometimes in the gym, I prefer to be on top with a camera microphone, then I look like a blogger 😁🇺🇿
@@cameraexplorations in our market canon m 50 cost 500 $,
a canon 80 d 550 $ 600 $
I believe that the Canon M50 is better for what you want to do (being on the move). If you can find a Second Hand M50 for a lower price it is even better. Get a second battery, like the Duracell LP-E12, a shotgun microphone like the
Rode VideoMicro (sound is really important), a Joby GorillaPod 1K (or Joby HandyPod) and you`re good to go. It is a bit exepensive at first, but the gear can last 2+ years from now. All the best!
@Camera Explorations thank you sou much my brother 🙏 🇺🇿🤲💪
We use it from 2017. It's a true workhorse. Only problem, I have noticed is the the lack of sharpness when taking group photos like having 50 people in the frame using the kit lens. I know, if I use the EF 24-70 2.8 L lens will solve such issues and provide corner to corner sharpness. Do you have any other lens suggestion?
The solution (for almost all lenses) to have sharp corners is an f/8 aperture. Every lens from f/8 to f/11 should have (at least) a decent performance, even the kit. If you want a nice zoom lens, sharp from corner to corner, already at f/2, than look for a Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art (works only on aps-c sensor cameras). Sigma 24-35mm f/2.0 DG HSM Art is its Full Frame-compatible sister.
@@cameraexplorations On The Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM Art I have Just Got it Are saying Large Group Photos. All 50 people will Sharp corner to corner at F/2 ? What Shutter speed do you recommend
@@robertlopez8785my guess is double the fps
Position yourself as far away as possible from the group to minimize the difference in distance from the lens to the subjects. For example, lens distance to person in group center versus lens to person at end of the row. As you move back, the focal length difference will become less of an issue.
No image stabilization, I wonder why?
I would also ask the same question. Canon's first cameras with IBIS were launched in 2020 - the 80D is from 2016.
is it good for product photography?
Yes, the Canon 80D is a good option for product photography.
I am a product photographer and I use this camera daily! My company actually gave me a rebel T8 and I took my 80D just to compare and it was a night and day difference. My supervisor was very impressed with the images that I have given and was asking what camera I was using.
The 1st Used 80D I purchased, the motherboard crashed, I sent it packing. The 2nd one I bought, from another online reputable dealer, the AF was not working even after all the troubleshooting with online Technicians. I was told that unless it has some sort of 3/6month Warranty it will crash within a month or less.
I agree with your pros and cons and had heard that the sensor struggled in low light but never had that issue. The build quality is superb, fit and feel is just as good and one feature I did love was it shot in small/medium and large RAW which is super cool.
I just upgraded from my rebel 7 to an 80d a minute ago for 400$ on eBay .
Nice! Enjoy your 80D!
How are you getting on with that 80D?
@@bourbon_sketcher great! Going to arches national park, and canyonlands with it and my 24-105mm f4 L, to really try it out.
Just bought a very little used and nice condition one today for around $592, and I’m very happy with it.
It came with the little bad 18-55 kit lens but it’s not that bad, i bought it because i switched back from Sony to Canon, Also i agree with these things you said, thank you for this video!.
If the camera is very little used and it came with the 18-55mm, you got it a fair price. It's a well-built camera and it should last many years from now on. Enjoy your 80D! All the best!
@@cameraexplorations
Thanks very much!.
I love brhhh
👍
The only real big con nobody talks about - There's no fast zoom lens dedicated for video. DSLR's are not for shooting videos.
With a Canon 90D + Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 decent videos could be made, but indeed, a mirrorless camera is a better option for shooting videos.
@@cameraexplorations Is that lens silent? I don't suppose so.
We could just use a microphone that is not in/attached to the camera. It all depends on a person's budget and needs. Decent work can be done with both dslrs and mirrorless cameras. If the goal is to have a silent lens that can autofocus, mirrorless cameras give better options, indeed. If we want the best of the best, we could look at ARRI and that's it. ARRI lenses are all silent, but do not autofocus.
You know, honestly, I love my 80D I use to shoot with rebels t7i was good but the 80D is better
Glad you're enjoying your 80D!
I have Canon 80d
Great! May it serve you well! 🙏
@@cameraexplorationsThx
I really like this camera but can't afford it.
You can find cheap ones on the used market, and if you can't afford an 80D, there's always the option of a more inexpensive camera, such as a 70D, 750D, 760D, and others. At the end of the day, we just need to feel good while taking photos; we don't need expensive gear. My first ever camera didn't even record video; it was an Olympus E-410, but I had my best time with that camera. Cheers! All the best to you!
That exact model fueled the golden age of CZcams vlogers from Casey Neistat to David Dobrik
Yes, they used the 80D a lot. It is now a classic.
I have a 70 d and dying to get an 80 d
If you really want one, you could sell the 70D and upgrade to an 80D. 😀
Great Idea@@cameraexplorations
i love my canon 80d but the autofocus is shit
Continuous autofocus is decent, but a bit slow on this camera, yes.
Is that when used for video or also stills, that the autofocus is bad?
the biggest con, is lack of 10-bit video recording.
I agree, the lack of 10-bit video recording is a big con. I wouldn't judge the 80D so harshly, though. It is a camera that was released in 2016. There weren't so many dslr/mirrorless cameras that had 10-bit video back then. If there's a camera that deserves a harsh judgment (for not having 10-bit video), that would be the Canon 90D, released in 2019.
90d > 80d
Of course, no doubt, there's a 3 year difference between the two (release date) and a significant price difference.
I mean the fact that it is a cropped frame camera it's one big con
