KEY FEATURES
- New 24.2-megapixel dual-pixel CMOS sensor
- 45 cross-type AF points, compared to 19 for the 70D
- Of these points, 27 will support autofocus at f/8 when the body is attached to one of two specific lens/teleconverter combinations (the Canon 100-400 Mark II with 1.4x III or the Canon 200-400 with 2x III). Any other lens/teleconverter combinations resulting in an aperture of f/8 will only function with the center point. The 80D is the first non-professional EOS body that can autofocus in this situation; previous non-professional bodies could not autofocus if the maximum aperture of an attached lens/teleconverter combination was smaller than f/5.6.
- DIGIC 6Â (DIGIC 5+Â on the 70D)
- New 7560-pixel RGB+IR metering sensor to aid the AF system
- New shutter mechanism to help reduce vibrations and camera shake
- “Anti-flicker” (introduced on EOS 7D Mk II) – shutter release can be set to compensate for flickering electric lighting
- 100% scene coverage viewfinder
- Built-in NFC
- 1080p at 60/50 fps video recording capability
- Built-in HDR and time-lapse recording capability (new software)
- Better low-light AF battery life, from 920 shots per battery to 960 shots per battery
- External 3.5Â mm stereo headphone jack
