24.2-megapixel Imaging Goodness
With every snap, the images that comes out from the Canon EOS 80D will be good, as the 24.4-megapixel sensor is helped by the DIGIC 6 image processor to deliver pictures like it was picked out of real life. Sadly, the camera did not come with dual SD card slots. Slot in a large and fast SD card, and you are good to go.

Connectivity Rules
This camera comes with a multitude of connection points that will help both photographers and film makers alike. It has Wi-Fi and NFC for wireless communication, both microphone and headphone jack on the side for video recording, a mini HDMI for external monitors, and the classic USB port preferred by Canon for maintenance and image transfers

Same, Yet Different
The handling of the camera can be categorised as feeling similar, yet not… at the same time. It shares similar body style and design as the 70D, but it has tweaked ergonomics in hand. Additionally, it has 45 AF points that can be selected individually or as groups. Pity there is no direct selection toggle for the AF points – that would be superb.

Wide Range of Compatibility
The EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM that comes with this kit is a versatile great-for-beginners lens, albeit a little sticky when using the zoom. A good basic to have for photography, but maybe a little tricky for video.  That said, thanks to the EF Mount, there is no shortage of lenses you can mount on this camera. While this is an APS-C camera, most (if not all EF lenses) can be fitted on this body without problems.

POINT 1: High ISO
The 80D goes up to ISO 16000 for images, and ISO 12800 for video – making it perfect for lowlight situations
POINT 2: 100% Viewfinder
Peek through the viewfinder, and you will see a 100% viewing range for you to compose and capture your subjects.
POINT 3: Vari-angle touch display
The multi-angle 3-inch display is great for live-view composition as well as video recording.
POINT 4: 7fps shooting
Press down the shutter, and go crazy with up to 7fps of shooting to capture that one moment you need.

24-hour Experience:

1st Hour

This camera looks similar to other Canon cameras, so I don’t need to relearn many things.
5th Hour

The weight is manageable. The kit lens can be soft in certain situations, so time to break out the good lenses.
12th Hour

Wi-Fi on this camera is pretty handy. Transferring pictures using the Canon App is easy enough.
23rd Hour

This is a good camera for people going up from the basic models, that’s for sure.
