Pros: Resolution at 24mpx, details, dynamic range, colors, automatic white balance, burst at 7x frames per second, locking of the moving subject and hold of focus even in fairly difficult circumstances with the single point, very simple and intuitive menu, general settings and focus set, battery life, light weight and not bulky, Battery grip well designed for this machine, suitable for all types of shooting, suitable for all beginners, semi-professionals and / or professionals. Nowadays the cost of second-hand with a few shots taken.
Cons: It suffers from the lack of well-done tropicalization especially on the front structure, central ring nut that can be improved.
Nothing else for me.
Opinion: The 80D is a perfect machine, an all-rounder, well designed, compact and light, even when you mount the battery grip in your hand it is comfortable and practical to use, beautiful to look at. Quick in changing the settings of the focus points both in the eyepiece and on the screen, the buttons for manual selection of autofocus, shutter speed and apertures are convenient and practical. Very simple and convenient menu, well done, intuitive from the first use. An ideal camera for portraits, macros below 1000 ISO, landscaping, street photography, all kinds of sports (I use it for horse riding, show jumping competitions, dressage, and more), night photos, bird and animal photography, and makes excellent videos. Fantastic and bright colors. I have not encountered problems with the JPEG, on the contrary, comfortable and practical if necessary. Obviously, I prefer the use of RAW, I don't rain on this. It is very fast in focusing as long as you use L-series lenses (I use the camera with the 300mm f/4 mounted, I dare not imagine the resolution and speed with an f/2.8, or higher), good ISO up to 800/1250, sufficiently good / fair shadow recovery, the automatic white balance is practically perfect, and the 7 frames per second are very convenient for any situation in which they are required and effective, very fast and efficient write speed on the card (I use a 300mb/s SD card both in reading and writing). The attachment and hold of the focus is very good with only the single central point and the others usable on the sides on the chosen subject even if in rapid movement. I was struck by the incredible detail in the enlargements. Battery consumption higher than current standards, with the battery grip mounted you can reach over 3000 photographs taken, and it still goes! A bit of a sore point: it is not immune to dust, it settles gradually during its use in the front part before the mirror, this fact actually dirties the sensor and part of the internal viewfinder. A well-done cleaning is needed for every 5,000/10,000 photos taken, especially if you face prohibitive weather conditions with strong winds and dust. In these cases, external protection should be taken into consideration. The shape of the main menu wheel is a bit difficult, not always convenient in its practical use, but it doesn't matter, let's say. Highly recommended as a replacement (see my case) of the 7D of 2009 and all the APS-C before it (except for the 7D Mark II, for a purely sporty and robust matter of the structure). To be taken into consideration as a machine to learn the professional profession well, especially as a second or third body, for those who use it even intensively for the most varied photographic disciplines, and for those who want to learn how to manage an almost professional camera with excellent performance. Rating 8.5/9.0 |
