Shoot powerful imagery with the Canon EOS 80D. A 24.2-megapixel crop sensor if you're the detail you could possibly need, and built-in Wi-Fi gives you easy file transfer. Shoot high-speed imagery at up to 7 fps for fast action shots, and the DIGIC 6 image processing means this Canon EOS 80D delivers great results even in low light.

Q: Will my EF lenses work on this camera
A: Yes. This will fit both EF and EF-S Canon lenses. You can see the red and white markings on the body where the lens mounts.
Q: What lenses do you recommend for a starter package?
A: I have a canon 60D for the last 6 years. It is the first in the 60D/70D/80D family. It came with the CANON 18-135 IS ZOOM LENS - which is a good all around lens - sharp with good range. After a couple years I wanted a bit more range and bought a TAMRON 18-270 DII VC ZOOM LENS - a bit heavier and stiffer to work - but incredible range - and sharp pictures. Great image stabilization. Fantastic for Air Shows and distant objects - it has become my lens of choice for the camera. It is the top rated zoom on the market - costs $350 - $425 on the internet. It is better and cheaper than the CANON 18-200 IS ZOOM LENS. The TAMRON 16-300 VC ZOOM LENS - may be better for about $600. Avoid any lens with a range that starts at 28 mm - such as 28 -80 mm or 28-135 mm. The wide end will not be wide enough in a lot of situations. Skip the two lens kits 18-55mm and 55-250 mm with the camera, unless you want to carry two lenses and be swapping them out constantly - instead of cranking the zoom and shooting the picture. Changing lenses in wet or dusty weather is not good for either lens or camera. The 18-55mm lens will be too limiting in range. Always get a lens with image stabilization. IS for CANON, VC for TAMRON. Image stabilization is an absolute must for sharp pictures with any telephoto lens. The canon 80D is a terrific camera - but only as good as the lens you put on it.
Q: is the body made of magnesium alloy? if its not is it weather protected?
A: Yes and it is weather sealed. It is an excellent camera all around
Q: is the body made of magnesium alloy for field work.
A: yes, that is what they say.
Q: Can you set focus to spot when in sports mode
A: I just purchased the 80D about a month ago. I was using a 50D previously. I used center point on the 50D for my kids soccer. With the 80D I actually went to a center grouping of 9 focus point and have been very happy with the results. (More Keepers, less missed focus shots) I don't know for sure if you can select the center point in sport mode I usually shoot in AV TV or M. You can definitely select center point in those others Use sport mode and take a photo, review that photo and use av, tv or M with the same settings. I usually will shoot soccer with the following in AV (80D 70-200mm+1.4x teleconverter) Iso 400, Aperture 4.0 ( the camera will vary shutter speed to properly expose) Try to keep shutter speed at least 1/500 bump iso up if you need more shutter speed Good Luck and Happy Shooting
Q: What is the recording stop limit? its not mention in the spec for no camera why is that?
A: 30minutes
Q: Does it come with an SD card or do I need to purchase it separately? Thanks.
A: It does not come with SD card.
A: It is not included but you can purchase an external GPS or hook up your phone through the Cannon Connect app; the camera can get date/time and GPS from your phone!
