For those looking to step their game up from the Rebel series, this is a great choice. A sturdier build, excellent still photo and movie featured camera. I made a mistake and sold this camera a year ago but recently looked back into my picture collection I had shot with different cameras. Each time I would look at the metadata for the pictures that I loved all over again, each picture ended up coming from the 80D. Very easy camera to learn how to use. Just don’t read the manual. Stick with YouTube for that.

I purchased this camera as an upgrade to my Canon 60D. I've been very pleased with the image quality, especially in low light. I chose this camera, after reading reviews from people that shoot similar settings. I am predominately an action photographer (HS & Junior High football/Volleyball/Basketball... Etc..) The low light issues in gyms, as well as outdoor night games is a challenge. This camera provides the speed (Fps) to keep up with the action, as well as limiting the noise in my shots. Since it's a crop sensor, my lens can reach out farther, & the Fps is faster.. If I were predominately a "Portrait" photographer, I would entertain a full sensor camera.

I took my EOS 80d and a set of Canon lenses to a two weeks travel in Iceland. It worked perfectly and its shots were amazing ( good sharpness , saturation and contrast) . It was very easy to learn how to get the most from the camera since Canon's menu is very clear and simple. Very satisfied with it .

Some nice updates to a real workhorse prosumer DSLR. I’m doing real estate photography and wanted to upgrade my EOS 40D (which still is used daily by the way!) I love that I can set up everything and compose the shot using live view through my iPad Pro. Auto bracketing for HDR is really nice too. I was at first really torn between the 80D and the 5D for a couple hundred more. I really wanted to have the full frame sensor, and I have several EF lenses, but the specs were just so much better on the 80 that I ended up going with it instead. If you’re looking for a new camera, or want to upgrade your Rebel and already have a crop sensor (EF-S) lens, you won’t be disappointed!

I’ve owned Canon Cameras for many years and this by far is my favorite. It would be a great camera for beginners as well as professionals. The touch screen makes it easy to select the settings to meet your needs. The WiFi/Blue Tooth feature is fantastic.
