We Put a 6 Year Old Camera to the Test | Canon 80D Review - Is It Still Worth It? 

One of the best crop sensor cameras ever made, great image quality, surprising low light performance, joy to use, it’s almost perfect crop sensor camera.

The 80D is a rock solid FullHD photo/video camera. Even with other features, the 90D's most significant update is 4K. If you don't require 4K, then the 80D is an absolute joy to use. If you only want photos, however, I still recommend the 7DII over the 80D, especially for action and outdoors.

Awesome! Thanks for all the info

The video is very informative, clear, and not boring. Thank you,.

Thanks for this really helpful review

Thank you, really informative video.

Thank you!! It's great to hear that the 80D is such a good camera for vloggers.

Thanks so much for the educated and informative review, helped me make my decision of purchasing this particular camera!

Got to the point. Well done video thx

Thanks for such a detailed explanation mainly focusing on Pros of Canon 80D..Let me stop thinking about other 4k cameras and explore and experiment more on my Canon 80d.

Thank you!

I definitely drop a like on your video I appreciate the review. You told me everything I needed to know

Cheers! Loving my 80D and still learning how to use all the tricks it has!

Nice review I am using 80D its a great gear thanks bro.

Excellent, informative review.

I have the 70 + 80d, love them both, never let me down and great image quality...

The 80D replaced an even older 7D. I love the 80D. It is versatile with decent video and 24 Mp APS-c images. The additional reach at the telephoto end with the 1.6 form factor beats using a teleconverter.

great info.

You’re the best person in the cameras Big subs for u 🥰 Regards from palestain 🇵🇸

I jonesed for a Sony A7RII for a few years until last year I got a great deal on a used one. What I found though was that heading out the door the camera I consistently grabbed for all kinds of shooting was a Canon 6D. Great images, great to use, and does a lot of things pretty well. I found I never used the high MP Sony (battery hog too). Today I traded it for a clean Canon 80D with the battery grip. One of those, "Yeah, I wouldn't mind one of those." The articulated screen and the 1080P 60FPS were features I wanted but obviously weren't on the 6D. Not to mention for movement the AF is a bit better on the 80D. Mic and headphone jacks don't hurt either. Having APS-C to compliment my full frame gives me a little more reach with my 70-300mm f2.8. I was able to make nice 18x24s with a Sony a6000. I'm pretty sure the 80D with my glass will have no trouble either. It was possibly go with the 6DMKII in the full frame for an articulating screen. However the 80D will fill the needs and compliment my 6D and I got some money back on the trade as well. Good glass, decent camera, and have or learn skills and develop an eye for the image. That's the not-so-secret trick to making strong images. I'm from the old film days when I made a living with a Nikon FM. Pretty neat camera the 80D.

Tuning in here in July 2023... Still rockin' my 80D.... I love it... Great and very versatile camera.... I'm a only a very poor amateur, but use for photos, videos and used it occasionally during "The Corona Years" for teaching English online as a nice webcam.... Brilliant bit of kit.... 😁👍

It is still holding its value even for the body in 2023. For what I use it for (live music and even photography) it is the best for me. Worth getting fixed a few times since the body alone was still more than the reconditioning.

I’ve been shooting with a T7i for a couple years (primarily live music photo/video), would I see an improvement in photo/video quality with the 80D?

I have been using my Canon 80D for my channel for sometime now. Will I upgrade the camera? No way.Mine has been hammered over the years out in the field.Never has it missed a beat. Thanks for sharing

Hi. according to 80D and 250D, What is the best camera for video?

Love my 80D

Thank you for the video

Even the 60D and 70D are still a beast for video and photography in 2022 but of course the 80D and 90D are more advanced technology wise.

Which one I should buy 200d mark 2 or 80d

Awesome thanks ❤

Great presentation, Pls advice me best photo camera for wedding videography under 1200$, old or new one without overheating issue, pls reply.

Honestly, the wifi is the only reason I own this camera.... specifically when shooting paparazzi photobooth on the red carpets walks. The 80d be like..... They walk the red carpet, I shoot, when they are finished, I hand them a branded photostrips. This is the 80ds true purpose in life.... also, lenses are now on the cheap after canon announced, "No more dslr for you until you go mirrorless!"

I used to shoot with the 80D. Wow it took really sharp photos and video was pretty good too. But alas the AF of the newer cameras such as the R6 is on another league.

Solid review. I still use an 80D for real estate videos. Works well.

wow, thats correct i also own an 80d and still works great till now 2021 new here i always here to learn more regarding on this gear thanks, and iam new friend here

I have an 80D with the 35mm it's a great combination

Using 80d from 2017❤❤❤❤

Its not bcause ppl couldn't afford latest mirrorless camera..but some ppl just love dslr

As a wildlife photographer would this canon camera be any good for what i do

Really useful review. I have had this since new, but got bored with photography, so have hardly used it. Just getting my interest back, so it is great to know it is still a good camera 5 years later! Thank you!

Great video! Two questions. I'm assuming this camera will work for taping actor auditions but will it photograph small objects like coins with the proper macro lens? Also, what's the difference with 1080p and 4K (yes, I'm a relative newbie!)

Well done. Thanks for sharing regarding an older but very capable DSLR. My current Canon is older than your 80D, has never failed and produces excellent photos and videos. I bought a Sony mirrorless, but went back to the older Canon because I wanted to enjoy taking photos rather than scrolling endless menus to change minimal settings. Older Canons remain my go-to for stills & color science...Fuji also has great color science. Lastly, Canon's user interface is second to none IMHO. Be well.

This camera is indeed rocking hard!

Great Video

For the commercial test shots above, what settings were you using for the 80D?

excelent , thanks a lot for that video ... dont you use cine style profiles on your 80D ??... you think's its better or not ?

What Color Profile you guys used? do you add sharpness in post?

Just got this camera with an extra lens for $500, I can’t wait! 😀

what is the best and cheapest, widest angle lens for the Canon 80D? I have the 18-135mm lens but that is not wide enough for what I wanna do.

Hello. It's been many years since the 80D/77D came out, but I'm asking myself the same question. Now I have a Canon 600D, and I no longer lack its capabilities (of course 😅). I choose between 77D and M50. My main task is to shoot photos (I want to shoot commercials: portraits, custom family scenes, and some street photography). The video is most likely secondary (although I don’t know for sure). There is no money for a full frame yet. What do you recommend from these two devices? The bad ergonomics of the M50 and the lack of control buttons, as it is on the 77D, scares me. However, they tell me from everywhere: "2023, buy a mirrorless camera (they mean M50)"

GooD Review !

great video

I'm starting a channel soon, After looking at the Side by Side, I now know what to get, looking at the side by side, the 80D was better, the mic sounded nice, and the colour was better, so that's what I'll be getting, also, I subbed.

Is swapping my 1100d to an 80d worth it? I just started photography and I don't have any idea about the specs and other stuff. Basically I want a DSLR with the ability to connect to my phone. If you have any other suggestions, that would be appreciated

Would this be good upgrading from a t7?

I bought a 80D after using my friends while filming a wedding and was impressed with it's feature set. Honestly thought I was going to use it as a gimbal cam or B cam to my C100 M2, but the sharpness of the video just ain't that great. I love it as a still and time-lapse camera and I will shoot some video with it, but not all that I had hoped. I'm probably going for a EOS R for my budget as my B/gimbal cam going forward. Still ...80D is a camera that's hard not to like for many reasons.

Ok so 80D or T7i ? Same price on the 2nd hand market now Which is better for run and gun

I'm not a professional photographer for wedding & food. Should I replace the 80d for 90d? Or still in 80d but add some great lenses?. Thank you.

it is worth to move from 80d to sony a7 ii or fujifilm xt-2?

I have 80d

Super useful, I am looking at getting into it with a 2nd hand 80d and have found on wex for £380!! I think I’m sold but need advice on the lenses

can i take pictures in heavy rain i want to catch good pictures in the rain so which one do i put it on to capture motion and freeze it in place

I thought the 80d looked just as good or better. The new camera looked less saturated, which is a subjective choice, some might like the less saturated look others not so much.

i have an M50 but I think it’s lame, or maybe I don’t know what I’m doing?? Thinking about getting this camera bc it’s less than $2k refurbished

Thanks for the video. I bough today a used 80D body with 18-135USM lens and the price was 750 US dollars. I think it's a good price for this quality.

I wanna buy a camera but idk which one i have 2 plans 1 is Canon 80, 2 is fujifilm xt200 so idk which one should i get?. What you think i should get, and almost same price but I didn’t care about the price I just want a camera that good. Thank you 🙏🏼

What lens are you using

what's the better lens the canon 16-35 or the sigma 18-35 i need help in picking in

i have an 80d and i want to buy me a great camera lens i'm not a photographer but i do a little something but i want like 3 camera lens and one prime lens so please help me out okay thanks

Good camara

Which would you prefer for photography the canon 80d or 90d?

I'm planning to buy my first camera. First priority is Canon 80D and second is Sony Alfa 6100. Waiting for ur suggestion.

No stabilization?

Man, 80D and old camera, I remember when this was the hot new successor to the 70D and the king of vlogging cameras. Canon does make some good stuff, although I wonder if for run-and-gun vlogging there may be better alternatives. I find the full DSLR a bit bulky for an everyday carry and with a 3.5mm jack external mic, it still retains some static compared to xlr. Also that 30 min recording limit is a tad annoying, but then again the quality is so much better than anything smaller like a GoPro or Powershot, so I dunno yet; still sticking with the DSLR for now. Thanks for the video! It's always fun to watch, so keep up the good work!

Just bought one at a pawn shop for 500 with a kit lens. It came with a bag. Opened up the side compartment on bag and there's a tamron 24-70 2.8 lens in there 😂😂😂. I think I scored big today. I already own a 70D and 77D.

dope

What is the best lens for this Canon 80D?

It's frustratingly close to great. The Dual Pixel autofocus was a game-changer at the time. I know it was in the 70D and 7D Mark II as well, but the improved implementation with the flip-out touch screen made things a lot easier. The headphone jack was a great addition over the 70D. The lack of a flat profile meant the camera was leaving a lot of dynamic range on the table. And Magic Lantern is not available for this model to get around that. So, there's not much flexibility for grading the footage. Good, sharp 1080p video is plenty of quality for me, but unfortunately, this camera produces soft, muddy 1080p video.

In 2023, would anybody suggest an alternative that might be a little better?

Canon is like Toyota of DLSRs. But with introduction of mirrorless Sony is Tesla of mirrorless cameras.

I just bought this as a photography camera as an upgrade to a Rebel T6. I’m excited to mess around with it. Side note; I love this song. I used it in one of the b-roll videos I made last year.

Is Canon 90D is the last dslr of apsc?

👍🏾

Can you shoot photos professionally with 80d or should you be ashamed

i use one for my youtube channel and I'm not impressed with it at all. The image quality is terrible when your doing a panning shot or if your walking and filming at the same time. smartphones seem to have better video quality.

That exact model fueled the golden age of RU-vid vlogers from Casey Neistat to David Dobrik

Bro the 77D is still an amazing camera so yeah... umm.... the 80D is still good.

It is still worth it in 2023.

Why Casey can get better video with the exact same Canon 80D and even 70D than you??

Yeah but it still costs 1500 dollars

worth it? what is "it" If you say, is it worth ____amount of money.....or worth owning as a quality camera....then I would know the context. but "it" is very subjective. just not sure where you're going with the title? people often choose to watch or not based on the title.

it's just bla bla, for noobs only lol
