The EOS 80D is a mid-range SLR for enthusiast photographers. The camera features a 24.2 Megapixel APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 processor, with a 7, 560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor. There are customizable controls, a viewfinder with a 100% coverage, a top panel LCD and rear LCD with touchscreen functionality, and Live View display. An ISO range of 100 to 16000 (expandable to 25600) reduces the need for flash and offers useful exposure flexibility. The EOS 80D also offers Wi-Fi and NFC wireless communication for image transfer. The new DIGIC 6 processor offers fast camera operation and image processing, while the digital image sensor features a Dual Pixel CMOS Auto-Focus (DPAF) system for fast, accurate focusing during Live View. The EOS 80D also features a Multiple exposure function and a High Dynamic Range mode, both of which will be of interest to creative landscape and still-life photographers.
