I like my camera, I really do. However, after 1.5 years of light usage (took maybe ~500 pictures) it just stopped working. I get an error 20 which means most likely there is a mechanical problem with the shutter. There is no way that I have used the camera enough to have a shutter failure but anyway. It is an electronic device and devices sometimes fail. When I called Canon Service (which is 15 minute drive from my home), they said they dont accept walk-ins and I need to ship my camera to them for a repair estimate. After I shipped my camera, I received a quote of $520!!!!! for a camera that costs $1000 without any explanation of why the camera was not working at the first place. It only says that they need to change mirror box, W/AF sensor and the PCB assy . Why would they change circuit assembly and battery? If there a circuit break at some point; I was using canon batteries, so how can they guarantee same thing will not happen in another two years? When I asked all these questions, the response I get is even better : "Because we dont charge for estimates, we dont disassemble the camera until the repair has been approved." They did not even bother to open up the camera!!! Then why was I asked to sent the camera in the first place? If only thing you needed was to look at the exterior for damage, I could have easily sent pictures... We are living in a digital age Canon people. Now, they wont open up my camera until I approve $520 charge - which is based on nothing. And then when I approve, Im sure that theyll change all of these things regardless, Ill never get an answer why it was broken down in the first place. Oh and there is no guarantee that it wont break down in another year. Im so disappointed with Canon. I basically wasted $1000. Now I either need to pay $520 to get fixed to work for who knows how long or spend another $1000 to get a new camera (definitely not Canon).

So far, Im really liking this body. I shoot a lot of wildlife and my dog with this camera. Id prefer to have more frames / sec and so I strongly considered the Canon 7D Mark II which has a faster frame rate and reportedly faster focus, but the touch screen on this camera is a big bonus for me and a few other features. Im getting great results. They brag about the 45 point focus system, but Ive always found I get mediocre focus when I use anything but single point focus mode for action shots. Good performing camera. Id make the same decision again for sure.

I dont recommend purchasing this product (at least through Amazon as it creates too much red tape if you have an issue). The RODE mic came to me broken and to get it fixed is a logistical nightmare in which Amazon sent me to Canon, Canon sent me to Rode, Rode says they will fix it, but are not responsible for the repair shipping costs because its a third party sale. So its costing me more money to fix a product that came to me defective. Frustrating.

Love it!!! The zoom controller and the mic work great, the zoom controller acts as if I had a handheld video recording camera, a little awkward the location of controls, I am right handed, but still I can not shoot as magnificent pictures with a video camera as I can with this one and the video quality is really good shot with the original 18-135 mm lens included in the kit. When shot with a high end lens f 2.8 stop, the video quality improves but only for the trained eye, as did the pictures, but again the zoom controller only works with the included lens, the microphone added a ton of clarity to the audio compared to the on-camera mic and very comparable to a zoom mike bought eight years ago priced three times this one Rode included. The camera itself is no surprise in quality and controls, Ive owned the 40D, the 60D, and the 70D prior to this one, the audio monitoring jack is a plus long needed. As a note; the mic and zoom controller cost $100 more as compared with price of the same camera paired with the same lens as a kit, when these two items bought separately they cost over $250 more.

I upgraded from a Rebel t4i and.. WoW.. I am seriously amazed at the quality of photographs that this thing can take. I didnt think that it could get much better but.. it is awesome. The depth of field is quite a upgrade. The new AF system is excellent at detecting faces and even in full auto mode it works great. I was going to get the D7 mark II but this is a newer camera, and might not be as good as the D7 in some respects, I am happy with getting this one.

Excellent camera. I bought this for my new Blog and also for some vlogging as well. The camera is very well built and I found myself purchasing additional lens almost immediately. I do love the touchscreen monitor thats also fully articulating as well. I didnt do a good job of demonstrating this in my video but just know that it fully rotates which is nice for vlogging. The kit lens 18-135mm is good but not ideal for vlogging unless your using a tripod or something like that. Highly recommend. I also did a brief review so you can check that out as well.

Ive been using Canon DSLRs since 2008, starting with the XSi and progressing to the T3i, 60D, 70D and now the 80D.... Ive also used the 6D MKII and the Sony A7III... For pure image quality, both of those full framers blow this away... BUT: The autofocus on the 80D is more usable than on the 6D MKII as there are 45 points that are more spread out.. The focus on the A7III is even quicker, despite the fact that the AF on this camera (with the right lenses-See the new USM lenses!) is super fast... Reasons I chose THIS over the A7III: Fully-Articulated and FULLY TOUCHABLE SCREEN!! Dual Pixel AF in Live View THAT GRIP! The fact that it takes the same battery as my 70D and the 60D and the 5D series as well... The fact that it comes with an actual CHARGER! The fact that my 70D battery grip fits this camera with no problem.. The fact that my Yongnuo flashes work as well as they did with the 70D (which is to say not perfectly, but well enough) The fact that my strobes/trigger work as expected with this camera and NOT with the A7III The fact that I can drop this camera and not think twice about it..Not that I would... The fact that I can flip the screen around to face inwards, when transporting the camera/not using live view and KNOW that the screen is protected.. The fact that this camera will NEVER overheat.. The optical viewfinder is superior to the EVF on the Sony except for the fact that you can preview your exposure, although you can do that on this camera in live view if you wish...I much prefer optical...Its true that you can see in lower light through the EVF on the sony, when youd see inky blackness on the OVF, BUT, the evf image is noisy and if its that dark, you should be using flash/strobes or just not shoot... The built in flash-It works much better than they used to.. CANONs LENS ECOSYSTEM: Many many options out there (WAY more than Sony) and there are far less expensive options for Canon than for Sony, although Sonys lenses are mirrorless system specific and much sharper... A great used/aftermarket for lenses....And other accessories A TON of useful accessories/3rd party and OEM for Canon... I can carry the 80D around all day with a long lens on it, holding it just by the grip and my hand doesnt get tired, whereas with the Sony I want to put it down after like 5 minutes... ONE CARD SLOT! Its SO MUCH SIMPLER...I THOUGHT 2 card slots was a MUST because the "pros" on YT told me so, but in reality, for an amateur, its just a PITA...I MUCH prefer the super quick way I can change memory cards and batteries on the 80D vs the Sony and others.... LENS RELEASE BUTTON; Its between the lens and the grip on the A7III and on the opposite side (where it belongs!) on the 80D... Much quicker to change lenses... Sensor Protection-The 80D has a mirror that stays in place when you change lenses....The Sony and other mirrorless cameras have a naked sensor exposed to the world when you remove the lens, except the EOS R and I think the Nikon twins-Z7 and Z6, which drop a shutter down when the lens is removed.. Battery Door-On the 80D, you flick it open, pop out the battery, slot in a new one-sticking it in the natural way youd think it would go btw) and slam the door shut, job done....On the Sony, you have to hold the tiny latch as you close the door...But the memory card door works like the Canon, so why the inconsistency? REACH-So on this Crop Sensor/APS-C camera, a 70-200 lens becomes/looks like/behaves like, etc etc...A 112-320! lens...So you basically get 60% more reach..Of course, you get short-changed on the wide end, but length is better than width anyway... AND THE BIG REASON: PRICE! The 6D MKII is now $1299 with a free (and actual Canon) battery grip...an amazing deal! BUT, it was originally $2000!!!!!! The A7III IS $2000 BODY ONLY! Yes, I know its $1998, but by the time you add tax, its over $2K! AND, by the time you add two decent lenses, youre talking $4K... I was able to buy a refurbished 80D and two lenses for $1450...With a battery charger! So I saved roughly $2550, which is enough to pay for a nice vacation, on which I can use my new camera! Or I can buy the Sony and just stay home and take pics of my walls... For me, with my long history of Canon DSLR ownership and my needs, the 80D just made/makes sense... Highly Recommended!

I cried unashamedly when I unwrapped the Christmas wrapping to reveal what Id saved up for for seven months, and my wife had bought for me from Amazon.com. This is an upgrade from a Rebel XSI. I really loved that camera, but it had been getting long in the tooth as Id been reading about the new ones coming out the last three years. When this one hit the market, that was it! I told her, "Yup, thats the one I want!" Well, love is giving. She gave me this camera, and Ive been ecstatic since. We live on the eastern shore of Lake Michigan. Yesterday, there were 35-40 knot winds from the west, as is the norm. I took the 80D and got some photos of the lighthouse that two people have already said are "award winners", with the waves smashing up the side of the breakwall, the sun making a ghostly shadow of the lighthouse itself onto the spray. I dont know about the "award winners" part, but the photos wouldnt have been possible with the XSI; it couldnt take photos at 7fps, as the 80D did yesterday. Even with my shaking hands in that high wind, it did an amazing job with its amazingly fast focus capability. Theres so much info right there for you at the press of a button on the screen before you start, and its so easy to adjust anything you need to in just seconds. Its a dream to work with for me, and at 67, Im kinda thankful for that. If youre looking for a great camera thats better than a beginners model, but wont run you the $3500.00 a 5D Mark IV will, THIS is the guy youre looking for. Man, this thing feels so good in your hand, its silly. The Rebel was a touch on the small side; the 80D is perfect. Its really nice to have that info window on the top, too. Thats a lot of help when you make yourself aware of and start utilizing it. Okay, Ive said enuff. This is one beautiful machine, and I love it! Get one if you can. You wont regret it. Bioman out.

A tremendous upgrade from my previous Canon EOS Xsi, which I had used extensively and loved. Nice to be able to use most of the same lenses even though had to go with at least one new one of them, also! Am learning many new capabilities with this model and so far am very pleased with the results of a multitude of taken images. It has been a very exciting learning experience and there just does not seem to be enough hours in the day to go get more. Extremely good camera.

Its been about 2 years since I bought this camera as my first DSLR. So far, the camera hasnt disappointed my expectations. I will leave its pros and cons to the other reviewers. But I didnt expect low quality of lens 18-135mm IS USM that came with the camera for additional $500. After less than 2 years of very rare use, I found last week that its auto/manual focus did not work at all - no sound of lens motor nor focus improvement in viewfinder and live view with half-pressed shooting button. Of course, I followed full cycle of checking with battery and menu options with other lens to find out that its really the lens with no focus. No surprise why its warranty is just 1 year.
