IT 168？ Evaluation of mid-range digital SLR cameras has a relatively professional body configuration and a relatively affordable price, which is deeply loved by mass consumers. After a lapse of three years, Canon launched EOS 80D, which further improved the video shooting function on the basis of previous EOS 70D. Become a cost-effective video and bird killing weapon. Meet more needs of more consumers. What is the specific experience? Let's take a look at the evaluation:

This test is Canon EOS 80D, and the lens group is EF-S18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ISUM released together. This lens autofocus drive system is upgraded to the latest generation of NANO USM ultrasonic system, which is fast and quiet, and is very suitable for shooting video. Canon EOS 80D is equipped with the same APS-C format sensor as EOS 750D/760D, with an effective pixel of about 24.2 million. A highlight of Canon EOS 80D fuselage is its newly developed 45-point full cross autofocus system, which is greatly improved compared with the previous generation EOS 70D's 19-point full cross. This product is also the first model of Canon EOS digital SLR camera with a field of view ratio of 100%.

Purchase suggestion:

I used Canon 80D for a while and found it very convenient and reliable. Not only because of its more powerful video shooting ability, but also because of its simpler and more intuitive operation. The newly designed 45-point full cross autofocus system uses a telephoto lens to focus quickly and accurately. Although many cameras have the function of touch focusing in live view mode, the speed is very fast, which is very important in many shooting scenes to ensure that you will not miss some wonderful moments.

Canon EOS 80D has better maneuverability and autofocus system than EOS 760D, and the drip-proof and dust-proof design allows users to stick to shooting in worse environments. Compared with EOS 7D Mark II, EOS 80D is not as good as the former 65-point full cross focusing system, but it is believed that there will be more users' choices at a more people-friendly price. Canon EOS 80D's function setting for video is believed to capture the hearts of many users who need video shooting.

Click on Canon EOS 80D for details. The kit price of EF-S18-135mm F3.5-5.6 isusm lens is still relatively high. If there are not too many requirements for video shooting, consider buying the previous generation 70D, which will be more cost-effective. And if you are a professional photographer or cameraman, the video function and focusing performance of the camera are very demanding. Canon 80D is definitely your reliable partner.

1, the overall appearance has not changed much.

The overall volume of Canon 80D is very close to that of 70D. Girls won't feel too tired even after using it.

This time, EOS 80D made great efforts in video shooting. Full-pixel dual-core CMOS AF focusing can play a role in video shooting, and it is also possible to easily switch the focus position through touch operation, even for those who have not mastered short film shooting, it can be easily operated, and the image performance effect without losing professional standards can be obtained.

EOS 80D provides us with a rich wireless video experience process from shooting to sharing. We can shoot EOS 80D remotely with Wi-Fi through Camera Connect's APP, and we can also change the camera shooting settings remotely.

Compared with 70D, the top design of 80D looks a lot harder.

In terms of photo sharing, EOS 80D not only sends it to smart phones and other devices through Wi-Fi or NFC, but also introduces the cloud storage function of "playing against the sky"! With simple settings, the camera can bind the Baidu cloud account. After the camera is connected to the Internet, photos and videos can be uploaded to Baidu cloud storage.

Canon EOS 80D fuselage has also redesigned the shape of the handle on the right side of the fuselage, which is more suitable for the user's fingers, and the deeper handle also creates a comfortable grip.

The LCD screen on the top of Canon 80D is the same size and shape as the 70D. In order to save space, the prompt of battery power is changed to vertical display to make more space for displaying other information.

EOS 80D is equipped with a brand-new 45-point autofocus system, which greatly increases the number of focus points, and the coverage area of autofocus has been expanded both horizontally and vertically. All 45 focus points are optional, and they are all cross-shaped autofocus sensors. Up to 27 of them can support F8 aperture, and autofocus can be achieved even with a magnifying glass and lens.

This product supports the function of sending photos to Baidu Cloud with one click on the Wi-Fi network. In this way, users can upload photos through the Wi-Fi network when the memory card capacity is insufficient, and it can also play a convenient network cloud storage backup function, which can better protect the security of photos.

In the shooting mode dial on the left shoulder of the fuselage, Canon EOS 80D fuselage separates the original scene mode from the in-machine creative filter, and the mode dials are independent of each other, which is convenient for users to choose.

Canon EOS 80D is equipped with a pentaprism optical viewfinder with a field of view of 100%. This product is also the first product of Canon's two-digit fuselage, with a view 100%.

On the right side of the fuselage is the SD card slot.

The interface position and protective cover arrangement of Canon 80D have been redesigned to be more fashionable. Earphone monitoring function is added to the interface, which is obviously added for video shooting.

Inherited the side-opening rotary touch screen function of 70D. It is still very convenient to use. Capacitive touch screen is very convenient in selecting parameters. The multi-touch function is also very convenient when playing back photos. In the process of shooting, especially when shooting video, focusing through the touch screen can stabilize the picture and control the focus position at the same time.

Built-in flash at the top of the fuselage

Canon EF-S 18- 135mm isusm lens is the latest generation of18-135mm lens. This lens uses a nano USM focusing motor. Compared with the previous 18- 135mm lens, the NANO USM micro ultrasonic motor is a combination of Canon USM motor and STM.

After installing the electric zoom base, the electric zoom function can be realized, which is very helpful for video shooting.

Canon 80D still uses LP-E6N battery, which has various functions.

Excellent picture quality of 22,420 pixels

EOS 80D adopts a brand-new APS-C CMOS image sensor with an effective pixel of about 24.2 million. This CMOS had a good image quality performance on EOS 750D/760D before, so how did it perform on 80D? We use EOS 80D fuselage with EF-S18-135mm F3.5-5.6 ISUM lens to take sample shots at the focal length of 35mm, and take 100% enlarged screenshots at the center and edge of the picture for comparison:

▲ Resolution test

From the screenshot of 100% magnification, the resolution of Canon EOS 80D with EF-S18-135mm f3.5-5.6 isum lens is good. As a mid-range digital SLR camera, Canon EOS 80D shows a level of 24.2 million pixels.

3, ISO3200 available pictures are pure.

▲ Sensitivity test

From the 100% enlarged screenshot of the real shot sample, Canon EOS 80D performs well within ISO 1600, and the overall picture is very clean with no visible noise. Until ISO3200, it still has quite good picture purity and high usability. The sensitivity is improved to above ISO6400, and the picture has obvious noise. The daily recommended amount is controlled within ISO3200.

4. The cross sensor has higher focusing accuracy.

EOS 80D uses a newly developed full 45-point cross autofocus sensor for viewfinder shooting. Compared with EOS 70D's 19-point cross system, it further improves the number and coverage of focusing points. It can capture objects quickly and accurately. At the same time, the focus distribution range is expanded, and 45 points can be cross-focused. Among them, F8 aperture can be supported at most 27 points, and autofocus can be achieved even if a magnifying glass is used with the lens. In addition, the center point 1 also adds an oblique cross-type focusing sensor corresponding to the aperture of F2.8, thus forming a double cross-type autofocus sensor that can achieve higher accuracy. When shooting with a large aperture lens, higher focusing accuracy can be achieved. At the same time, the focus limit of central focus is -3EV in low brightness, and it can also focus automatically in dim scenes.

The center point 1 can be used for cross focusing corresponding to the F5.6 beam, and the cross sensor corresponding to the F2.8 beam is obliquely arranged for double cross focusing. The double-line staggered ranging structure improves the detection ability. In addition, when a large aperture lens with a maximum aperture exceeding F2.8 is installed, high-precision focusing can be performed. In addition, five central and vertical focusing sensors are used as 1 vertical sensors, which can quickly detect the focusing position in a large defocusing state and help to grab a good shutter opportunity. ?

In terms of focusing mode, the 80D adds a large-area autofocus mode, and users can select three focusing areas. The advantage of large-area autofocus mode is that it can play a better continuous tracking effect and capture high-speed moving subjects well. Therefore, Canon EOS 80D is a model with good shooting ability of moving objects, and it is a cost-effective and portable choice for sports journalists or eco-photographers.

All-pixel dual-core focusing technology left a deep impression on us before, and this 80D also adopted this technology and was upgraded. Because the dual pixel dual-core CMOS AF(Dual Pixel CMOS AF) on EOS 80D has been improved in reading speed and calculation method, the focusing speed will be faster than the previous one. This advantage is that when shooting in some specific environments, real-time shooting is adopted, focusing is fast and accurate, and it is not easy to miss important moments.

5, the cache capacity is significantly improved, and the wonderful moments are not missed.

Although EOS 80D cooperates with DIGIC 6 digital image processor for high-speed processing, the continuous shooting speed is about 7 frames per second. In the actual experience, the continuous shooting of the photo has achieved accurate autofocus, and the shooting success rate is well guaranteed, so that you won't miss any wonderful moments.

Although the speed of continuous shooting has not improved compared with the previous generation, the maximum number of pictures taken in continuous shooting is about 1 10 JPEG (large/excellent), about 25 RAW images and about 22 RAW+JPEG (large/excellent) images, which is an increase compared with the previous generation models. It shows that the cache capacity of the camera has been obviously improved. With the increase of the maximum shooting times, the camera can continuously capture the dynamics of the shooting object for a long time, which increases the probability of capturing the ideal moment. ?

6. video shooting? Quiet and steady

Because this EOS 80D price comparison focuses on video shooting, an electronic zoom base is added. By combining full-pixel dual-core CMOS AF technology with this new built-in 18- 135 mm Nano USM motor, a quieter and smoother zoom can be achieved. ..

Moreover, it can be seen from the base that there are two adjustable gears, slow and fast, which can simulate the slow zoom like a movie.

At the same time, the video quality has finally improved. It is no longer FHD 30P, and supports FHD 60P/50P MP4 video recording. However, if shooting in MOV format, maximum number of frames is still FHD 25P.

7. Rich shooting function and more flexible technology:

Canon EOS 80D supports servo autofocus speed adjustment when shooting video, and users can set it in the range of -7 to +2. We choose -7 and +2 to shoot video in the same scene, and manually touch the screen to change the focal plane position during video recording. The comparison video is as follows:

Servo autofocus speed test (-7)

Servo autofocus speed test (+2)

In the video of -7, we can see that the focal plane moves very smoothly. In the past, such an effect had to be focused manually, and it was difficult to move the focal plane evenly and stably under manual focusing. In the +2 gear, the focal plane moves very fast, and the focus can be switched quickly. This function can provide possibilities for more video expression.

In addition, you can also choose the sensitivity of autofocus tracking. For example, a passer-by suddenly appears in the picture, which may change the focus, but if the sensitivity is reduced or locked, you can always focus on the subject, and even if you suddenly break in, you will not easily change the focus.

Sensitivity test of autofocus tracking (locking)

Sensitivity test of autofocus tracking (sensitivity)

In locked video, the focus will not move quickly to the outstretched hand, while in sensitive video, the focus is easily taken away. In practical use, this function can well avoid the focus being affected by other sudden objects, thus affecting the whole video shooting.

In addition, Canon EOS 80D has added some functions, and it can be clearly felt that the functions on the more advanced SLR are entrusted to this product.

For example, EOS 80D has added the functions of B-gate, HDR synthesis, interval shooting, delayed short film, fine detail mode and lens correction on the 5-series Quan Huafu SLR.

8, WiFi transmission cloud disk storage saves space

It is nothing new to support WiFi wireless connection now. Canon users can use their smartphones or tablets to remotely shoot EOS 80D via WiFi, and transmit the photos back by installing the Canon Camera Connect application.

At the same time, EOS 80D not only adds WIFI function, but also has a very user-friendly design. In the WIFI environment, photos can be uploaded to Baidu cloud space, which is great news for many friends who have insufficient space for temporary storage cards, and it is equivalent to backing up a photo in the cloud.

However, it should be noted that this function is not built-in at the factory and needs to be set up on the computer before it can be used. Need to download "EOS Utility" software on the computer, Canon official website can download it directly.

Adding cloud storage function to Canon EOS 80D can be said to be a very humanized step. With this function, it is convenient for us to back up photos at any time, especially some important photos, without worrying about the accidental deletion or invalidation of the memory card. However, to use this function, you need to download the software from your computer, and then log in to your Canon account to transfer it. The whole process is very complicated, and I believe many people simply give up. If you can simplify the operation logic, upload it with one click. I believe this function will be much more practical.

9. Summary:

I used Canon 80D for a while and found it very convenient and reliable. Not only because of its more powerful video shooting ability, but also because of its simpler and more intuitive operation. The newly designed 45-point full cross autofocus system uses a telephoto lens to focus quickly and accurately.
