Full-frame cameras are defined by sensor sizes and for a camera, to be full-frame friendly, the sensor size needs to be 36 x 24 mm. The Canon 80D is 22.5 x 15 mm. If you have your heart set on a full-frame camera the hot news is that the Canon 80D doesn’t quite cut it!
Despite that the Canon 80D ticks a lot of boxes for seasoned recreational photographers as well as snappers at the next level below the big professional boys. The Canon 80D is reflective of Canon’s overall mid-market position for this model.
Canon understands how to play the market game very well and the 80D fits into the mid-market slot in exactly the place they want it to.

Is the Canon 80D is Cost-Effective?

We have to answer this with a yes thanks to all the professional high-quality technical innovations that are included with the package for your ultimate pleasure. Such as:
  1. Superb Pictures.
  2. An amazing variety of lenses and flashes.
  3. A highly competent Auto Focus capability.
  4. A View Finder that is huge and packed with data.
  5. Excellent LCD interaction.
  6. A touch screen with various angles and a monitor that is the clear view which allows for supple placement and great screening that includes outside.
  7. Wi-Fi that is fitted and that has the facility for NFC so that pictures and videos can be linked to similar systems.

For Videos:

The Canon 80D allows users to record videos of very good quality based on 1920 x 1080 resolution and with the very good microphone, these should be quite sufficient for most users.

Those are just a few of the innovations and we’re sure if you are in the mid-range market, and we haven’t mentioned your particular doodad, it could well be included in the full specification so don’t worry what you need could be included.

We know that the Canon 80D is the upgraded model from the Canon 70D and this is good news. Cannon has a fine history of including all kinds of welcome extras when releasing new models. It’s a Canon trademark and one that we automatically expect. Canon doesn’t usually disappoint.

One point relating to the upgrade is that the 70D performed rather well which meant the 80D didn’t have to go through all the rigmarole of a total revamp. It’s a good product that just got a whole lot better with add-ons advancements making it deserving of a new brand status.

One of the best plus points for the 80D is the advances that have been made in the autofocus capabilities that we mentioned above. By using the twin pixel feeler, which first came into play with the 70D, Canon has successfully incorporated another forty-five focus points.

Another clever innovation, which is very important to filmmakers, is related to the headset attachments that allow users to keep an ear on the sound quality from the fitted or outer recording devices.

The Canon 80D is popular with wedding photographers and also has a good rating with sports photography. The rating is not so high for landscape, daily and street photography.

With the 80D Canon have produced a robust camera, for their mid-market range, which we discussed earlier. It’s the place they know well so why not stick in it and provide users in that market what they expect. Why change something that works and where users know what to expect.

For anyone who would really like to really advance to the full-frame, it will be like stepping up to a new division. A premier photography league. It’s possible but it’s like entering a whole new ball game which will mean stepping up a notch with more expenditure.

Back to the sensor, and the full-frame question? We know that to achieve a full-frame the cost will be considerably more, than the cost-effective 80D, and that full-frame cameras are really categorized as being for professionals. The Canon 80D operates with a sensor that is known as a crop so when you take a picture you photograph not as much as you can see in front of you.
