ONE OF THE BEST REVIEWS OF 80D ON TH-cam. KUDOS TO YOU FOR MAKING THIS WONDERFUL VIDEO. GREAT WORK!! KEEP GOING.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words - BTW, I think you may need to have your keyboard fixed, the caps lock seems stuck, making your post hard to read.
Possibly the best 80D review yet. I own one and after watching your video I realised that there are settings that even I don’t know about lol. Also, the way you try to reply to every person in the comments section signifies your dedication to the work you do and what a kind hearted person you are. Keep up the good work ! :)
What a pleasure to read your kind words - thanks for taking the time to comment.
I saw too many reviews of canon 80d, this is the best one!
Very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
I just bought a used 80D. I stumbled upon this video by accident. What an eye opener it was for me. I have to say it was one of the more informative videos I have ever seen. Thanks Maarten for a wonderful video. I subscribed a long time ago to your TH-cam site. You never cease to amaze!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words - it's always nice to know that my videos are appreciated.
The best review on the Canon 80D ever. You review for the average user and make it easy to understand. Other reviewers nit pick at the camera to the point where an average user will never experience the extreme issues. This is a mid range camera and your review shows that accurately. As an amateur user of the Canon 80D, your review hits the capability of the 80D spot on. Thank you for your easy to understand review. Keep up the good work.
How kind, it was a pleasure to read your comments, you have correctly interpreted my intentions, as I do try to suit the tone of the review to my expectations of the average purchaser of that model.
Hello Martin, I just bought the Canon 80D and your review and demo of it was so powerful that it scared me. if I could retain just a portion of that information I would be a dangerous individual with this camera. it is my mission to learn as much as I can and I thank you for inspiring me.
I am most appreciative of your kind words - and best wishes in your quest to master this camera.
Hi it’s very helpful but I have to play it 10 times so I can do it also in my camera
thanks, and I'm happy to have you play it as many times as you need. If you play it 100 times, I earn 30 cents!
@@MaartenHeilbron Ad revenue really has gotten low... Love the snark ;-)
@@FutureChaosTV For my channel, it's actually rising slightly on a earning per view basis. Hopefully I'm not jumping the snark.
Thank you for this. You're one of the reasons I bought the Canon 80D for my new fitness TH-cam channel. I continue to use this video as a reference guide to learn more about how to use my equipment.
It's a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
This title truly matches its review! Awesome review and great samples. I purchased my 80d in Greece and unfortunately the manual i received wasn't in English. This helps me a great deal. Thank you for your comprehensive input. Not many people can pull this off. You certainly have my thumbs up!
Thanks, that's very kind of you to say, I appreciate the comments.
Probably this is the best quick guide video I've found for the 80D! Thanks!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
You deserve way more subscribers. Best review of the 80d I've seen and I've seen far too many haha.
I Am tossing up between the 7d mkii and the 80d. I primarily will be using it for photos not video. I shoot all round anything and am only an enthusiast (not professional). Sports and street photography my focus atm. I wondered if the 80d would hold up with sports as I've heard the 7d mkii has far more intelligent subject tracking..thoughts?
That's very kind of you to say, thank you! In my mind, I have exactly the number I deserve and I'm very pleased with all of my TH-cam statistics. I haven't reviewed the 7D MII, but I've also read that observation. My question would be that while this is of value to a professional who spends every working moment covering sports from the press areas of an arena, is it of equal value to an enthusiast. Of course, if money is no object ... you'll clearly be better served by the 7D MII, as well as full frame lenses.
I was wondering when you were to review the Canon EOS 80D, but I am glad that you have! I have yet to fully use my 80D, but it is a solid all-around camera from Canon and the lack of 4k doesn't bother me for now, since I have no way to view, edit, and upload in 4k. Thank you for your opinions and for your review!
It was a pleasure to read you kind words, thanks for taking the time to comment.
Maarten Heilbron Glad to sir!
Another excellent review by Mr. Heilbron. Thanks for sharing your input & wisdom about Canon cameras. This will hopefully be my next DSLR!
How kind of you - thanks for commenting.
Solid as always. It is a sincere delight getting your take on new gear. I wish you "GoodLight" for the new year.
Thanks for the kind words and the kind wishes - always nice to hear from you. Best wishes for health and happiness in 2017.
Maarten Heilbron How did you make your profile picture into a cartoon-like picture of yourself.
I use a service called Fiverr.
Maarten Heilbron If you don't mind me asking which artist did you choose because I am new to this site and I want one like yours.
The vendor's name was "dewapples"
Just got one. Really really nice with the L-lenses, especially the 24mm f/1.4...
I had a bit of a hard time finding the functions which is why I am here.
Maarten makes the most thorough reviews on TH-cam, co competition there.
That's very kind of you to say, it's a pleasure to read your comments, thanks!
Hi Maarten. By far the most comprehensive and informative review I have ever watched. Been eyeing the 80d for a while now trying to make up my mind. I notice that you managed to get clean hdmi out by pushing the info button (same as my current camera) but does autofocus still work and does it show the focus blocks. I need to record via the hdmi out and need clean hdmi out but with autofocus still working. My current camera only gives me clean hdmi out if I switch off the autofocus (or with Magic Lantern installed). The original brochures that were released just prior to the release of the 80d said "clean hdmi out for external recording".
What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks so much for commenting. I don't have it here any longer to check (I return cameras after the review) but I believe the answer is yes - AF works, but no - the focus blocks don't appear. I think you see that in the video. Essentially, whatever you see on the LCD (not the viewfinder) appears on the HDMI out. There are no independent options for HDMI out. Hope this helps.
Maarten Heilbron Thx Maarten. What I suspected. Clean hdmi out, like on the Canon 7d Mark ii and 5d Mark iii, feeds the same video signal that goes to the flashdisk to the hdmi port for clean, true 1080p external recording. All other Canon cameras feed the liveview instead which means that it is not true 1080 due to the back screen being 3:2 instead of 16:9 and of course, the focus block always being present. Only way to work around it is to switch to manual focus. Thanks again for a great review and for your reply. You definitely convinced me to do the upgrade 😊
Thank you. Always happy to hear I've provided useful information.
thanks for interesting tips. Bought 80d last week as my first DSLR and I Am amazed. Love it
Glad to hear you found value in my video - thanks for watching and the kind words.
this was a great overview of the 80d, very professional presentation. i cant wait for my 80d to get here!
That's very kind, thanks for taking the time to comment, appreciated.
Hey dude, it is a fact that ur the best on reviews, i love ur reviews
It's a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
When you say "comprehensive" then I know to take you at your word. As ever, thanks for covering as much detail as I could reasonably expect; if not more. I'm also eagerly anticipating an EOS M5 review. A great start to 2017!
I appreciate the kind words. As soon as I can get my hands on an M5...
Very well explained! great reviews from you. Keep it up!
Thanks for taking the time to comment with such nice words.
Excellent review boss ! I'll have to watch this several times to retain everything you mentioned. Thanks very much indeed. Regards from India
That’s very kind of you to say, thanks!
Fantastic and supremely comprehensive review. Thank you. It sure made me want to buy one. Any lens recommendations?
It was a pleasure to read your kind words. Canon has lots of great lenses. I love the 24-105L, and they've just introduced the V2 of that lens, should be good.
13:40 - When you show video modes, there is noise as if this is Geiger counter. It does not have built-in HDD, so what is it? Continuous autofocus?
I think you may be hearing the clicking sound made by my solar powered toys.
Unbelievably thorough. Many thanks!
Always my pleasure, thanks for the kind words.
Excellent review as always. My Sony A6500 excursion was short lived. I sent it back. The buttons were too easy to accidental press when walking around (I didn't know this beforehand and botched a number of shots in DC as I'd somehow moved the Auto ISO settings while walking to a min of 800). The menus were painful (no surprise there).
We are going on our annual Acadia trip next week (we only live 3 hrs away) and I am looking to rent the 80D body since I have a full Canon kit with my 40D.
While full frame is now reasonably priced, I have a few EFS lenses that prevent that jump.
Thanks, always appreciate the kind words. The A6500 does have a menu option to lock the controls - but I see that advice comes to late ... enjoy your travels.
What a great review! Great job Maarten!
That's very kind, thanks for taking the time to comment.
DETAILED, indeed! Everything you need to know, if, like me, you own a Canon EOS 80D. Thanks.
Very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Marteen thank you so much for this. I gotta subscribe to your channel but do you know if a canon 80d would work with a wireless microphone such as saramonic uw9mic
Thank you plz reply haha
The 80D has a mic input jack, so yes, haha.
Hi Maarten, Great video! From Toronto and also own the 80D. From what I understand, you are using a full frame lens on this camera? (with aps-c sensor) Have you had any setbacks from doing so? Also, in response to other comments in the thread, if people want a flat picture profile (for video) they can easily download the 'Cinestyle' profile from Technicolor! It works amazing. Unless a camera is recording internally with 4:2:2, any log makes it incredibly difficult to colour correct later in post...
Thank you for your kind words - always appreciated. I was using a full frame lens for this review. There are no setbacks (other than FF lenses are more expensive than crop). In general, they're just better lenses. Thanks for the tip on the Cinestyle profile. I agree - for consumer cameras with limited colour depth and bit rate - log profiles are a choice of last resort when the dynamic range of the scene has no other solution.
I'm thinking of getting a Camera used for Photography only, I can't decide which to get?? 80D, 6D, Nikon D610, Sony A7ii, or anything else??? I thought that a flip screen would be very helpful for me when I shoot. I can;t decide and Ihave no clue!
All are good choices - you're right a flip screen can be very useful. I suggest you let your wallet and your heart guide you.
This was way too much info way too fast Maarten but I think I may have retain one or two things out of this. Now I have to figure how you got to those settings.
Thanks for your kind words. Feel free to watch again - and use TH-cam's tool to slow me down if needed.
Ive had a d30 since 2006 and it’s been to hell and back (literally war) and used weekly and had more knocks than a bare knuckle boxer and travelled more seas than Sinbad the Sailor and it’s still working like new. Anyway, finally gave in and bought a mint used d80 and it’s a VERY worthy replacement. I love it. Would only buy Canon after my d30 proved itself harder than Chuck Norris and it takes awesome photos that always delight and exceed my expectations. Caveat I bought a brand new d250 and broke it in 24 hours. Hence why I bought a used d80 instead
Thanks for sharing your story. Always nice to hear from a photographer who's happy with their kit.
your reviews are really helpful
That's very kind of you to say, thank you!
Bravo! Another excellent review. Please do a comparison test on the EOS M5. Happy new year to you.
I'm waiting for an M5 loaner to be available. Not sure it will be a comparison, but I will do a review. Happy 2017 to you and your also.
Yes. A brilliant review. I was experimenting with the M5 and the 80D for a couple of days, really great cameras, especially the M5, but they are so much crippled by the manufacturer vs Panasonic/Sony: no zebras, no MF Assist WHILE recording, no focus peaking (the M5 has and it's enough reason to pick the M5 vs the 80D), no 4K.
There are no easy decisions when choosing a camera - it's tempting to want it all. However, unless you have a specific purpose and feature, it's hard to make a bad decision.
With those internal specs, I would have thought 4K to be included. At least on-screen video peaking and zebra. Besides that, the 80D looks fantastic.
It does seem like a feature that should have made the spec. sheet ...
Superb video, but wow, what a lot of information
I do try to be detailed and honest, so thanks very much for your kind words.
Top notch review as always. Many thanks! Was very curious about this camera after seeing Casey Neistat use it religiously... was glad to hear you compare to the Nikon D500, too.
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
Excellent review. Would this still be a valid choice in 2018? Any significant competitors within the same price range I should look into?
Thanks for your kind words, appreciated. I think it remains a valid choice, with more competitors (depending on your needs, preferences and budget) than I could possibly list. I would look at the Fuji X-T2 th-cam.com/video/3O3iaAAYJWg/w-d-xo.html and the Sony A7 III th-cam.com/video/1yiX041goic/w-d-xo.html
Maarten Heilbron well this would be my first proper camera, with which I’m looking to learn photography and videography, so the ratio between photos and videos would be approximately the same. I’ve read that for this purpose this would be an appropriate choice, for reasons such as flipping screen et cetera. My budget rests at around 1200€, might possibly stretch it a little if worth it. I congratulate you for the amazing work, will watch the reviews you kindly suggested. You officially have a new subscriber! Sorry for the long post. Any kind of suggestion is warmly appreciated. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for the kind words, this would be an excellent choice - if you do manage to stretch the budget, get a better (prime) lens - 24 or 35mm for landscapes, 50 or 85mm for portraits.
Excellent production... great narration.
Thanks, that's very kind of you to say.
Hello! First of all, thank you for all the videos! I want to know if there is any problem with the 80D mainboard like in the firsts canon 70D. I am an owner of a Canon 70D (for two years and a half) and it was the best camera but recently out of nowhere it shot down and the technical people said that it was a common problemn of that model, a problem with the mainboard. It could be really helpful for me if you now something about that, if the 80D has problemns with the mainboard also. Thank you! I look forward your response.
I appreciate your kind words. I did not experience any issues during the few weeks I had the camera on loan to do the review. As you're aware of the issue, I'd do a Google search and see what comes up.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you for your reply! I would check it on Google.
what lens you recommend for video production with this camera? I was thinking on the Canon 24-105 ?
I like the 24-105 L a lot (I actually own that lens - but use it on a 50D (no video)) and while I've shot video with it during reviews I've never used it as a production video lens ... so, not sure. The issues would be - does it zoom smoothly enough; does it maintain focus as it zooms (I know it's not par focal, but how close is it? Pretty sure there are better resources than me to answer this question.
Great video. Can the camera slow down footage? For example if I shoot 60fps and wish to play it back slowed down at 24fps would I need editing software or can the camera do that "in-house"?...
Thanks for the kind words. You will need editing software to slow the footage.
Would you suggest this camera over nikon D7200 if its only for photography ?
I would judge them as roughly comparable for photography. Choose based on price, the fit in your hand or your brand preference.
Thank you for such great research and sharing. Extremely helpful video.
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Really nice review.😊 Sir could you tell me which would be better for wildlife photography and traveling,this canon 80d or the Nikon d7200? I also intend to make some videos and was really impressed by the videos you showed using the 80d. But I also equally like the d7200 images and styling. I’m caught in a dilemma between these two cameras so please help me out.
Thanks! I appreciate your kind words. Either would be fine for wildlife. Depending on the focal length you need, it might be best to choose the lens first and then the body. It sounds as if you'd be happier with the D7200 which remains a very good choice.
Very good, Mr. Heilbron. May I just ask what is that thing you have seemingly on your hotshoe? Thank you. God bless.
It's the receiver for the Rodelink wireless kit - I'm using it for audio.
Maarten Heilbron Thank you for replying.
always my pleasure
Great video full of useful information. Just one thing - multiple exposure IS available in the menu
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words. You may have mis-understood. Yes, the camera does have a multi-exposure mode, but what I complained about was the ability to take multiple exposures for a two or ten second timer. Most cameras now will take from 1-10 shots at the end of the timer, to reduce the possibility that the image has one person with their eyes closed, etc.
Thank you for posting, I am glad you have the time and voice to pass along useful information. Since you mentioned diopter, when you adjust the viewfinder, does it also correct the LCD? I am enjoying the learning experience. Its funny how easy my Hasselbald 500CM, and Mamiya C3 were to me. Now everyone is a photographer. These are good times
These are good times indeed, and thanks for the kind words. The diopter only adjusts the viewfinder - it's not needed on the LCD as you can more easily adjust the eye to screen distance.
Sir, which is the best dslr after Nikon d3300. Nikon d7200 , Canon 77d or 80d.
Help me please....Thanks a lot
That depends on what you find lacking in the D3300 - any would be a good choice, but "best" is not a term I would apply in making this decision, as there are a lot of factors and each may shine in a specific area.
Very well detailed review thank you!
It was a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks.
Maarten Heilbron Great review! I'm curious what (video camera) do you use because this video is very clear. Thanks.
Thanks for your kind words. The on camera scenes were recorded with the Fuji X-T2 - more details here: heilbron.com/80d/
Informative. Enjoyed your video. More power! Thanks.
That's very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Great review, Maarten. I was curious about this new model, and you've covered it well. Overall, it looks like the 80D just has a little more of everything than my 60D, but I'm not sure any of the new features would make me move up. I do like the HDR modes, though, and not having to turn the mode dial to "movie" before shooting video is a real improvement. The touch screen, I can live without. Speaking of the mode dial, the one on my 60D actually has three more icons than the one on this camera -- so maybe they're going in the right direction ...
I appreciate the kind words, thanks. Although I felt that there were several good improvements over the 50D, I wouldn't use it for video, so don't feel any compelling need to upgrade.
Always my pleasure.
Superb review. Thank you
Very kind of you to say, thanks for commenting.
Hello Maarteen I trust and value your opinion, I just purchased the Canon 90D and have a 24mm pancake lens. I just shoot Vacations and family images with it, maybe school sports teams, but not during a game, just portraits. Can you give me your opinion on the Canon 15-85 3.5/5.6 vs Sigma 18-50 2.8. I am a retired Hassy wedding photographer. Thanks Happy New Year, BTW we are going to Banff this June!
I haven't used either of those lenses, so no sure. Have a sense you might like something slightly higher quality?
Hello Maarten,
Thank you for your reviews and videos. Very informative and helpful. I would like to ask for your advice on one topic, if possible. At the moment I shoot with the Nikon D3300 (mostly landscapes and night shoots). I am thinking about upgrading either to a Fujifilm X-T20 or a Canon 800D. I would very much appreciate your opinion on which camera you think it’s best as far as image quality (sharpness, dynamic range, and so). I have been watching a lot of Fuji reviews, and I really like the colors and sharpness of the X-T20. Can you give me your take on which one you think it’s best? I could also consider a 77D or 80D, but I think that since the sensor and processor are the same for all these 3 Canon, as far as image quality there should not be a great difference. Thank you in advance. Regards,
Bruno Melo
If you like the colours and sharpness of the X-T20, go with that. They can be equally good - but you will need better lenses than the kit for the Canon. As for colour reproduction, there is an element of personal taste, but with the settings and adjustments available in camera and in post, they can be very similar.
Thank you Maarten. Regards.
always my pleasure
Great review as always - how is autofocus speed in Live View? most DSLRs are slow like my D750 -
As with most DSLR's the focus capabilities in LiveView are different than Viewfinder mode - and in this case, a little slower.
Have you tried using the HDR movie mode Maarten? I'm curious if it works well, or is more of a gimmick.
I did, its in the video. This is not the first camera with this feature, and I've not yet found it useful.
Thanks! I somehow missed it.
No worries, happy to help.
Hi everyone. I need advice on getting my first camera for landscape, long exsposure, wildlife, portrait and maybe some sports photography. I'm looking at either the Nikon d7200 or the Canon 80d for my first camera. Which camera would better fit my needs for the type of photography I wanna do. Any and all advice is much appreciated. Thank you
Both are good choices - make your selection based on your wallet, which fits your hand better and your brand preference.
Excellent, excellent, excellent!
What a pleasure to read your kind words, thanks for commenting.
superb in depth review 🖒
please recommend one lennse (all rounder ) Canon or 3rd party lense for 80D under 500 US dollars.
That's very kind of you to say. The best lens will depend on at least a few specifics - I think wirecutter has a good roundup of recommended lenses: thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-first-canon-lenses-you-should-buy/
Hi! Hope you’re having a great day🙂. I shoot photos on my phone and I am thinking of buying a good camera mainly for photography and a little bit of video. My two options are the Fujifilm XT-2 with a 23mm f1.4 and a 56mm f1.2. The other option is a Canon 80D with a sigma 50mm f1.4 and a sigma 18-35 f1.8. I want a camera that is reliable, has really good dynamic range. It should last me at least 2-3 years. Which camera should I get? Thankyou in advance. Your review was very good. I am a new subscriber and I am really impressed. Keep up the good work. Have a great day🙂!
TH-cam's new dashboard revealed that I'd never replied to your message - please accept my apologies. Hopefully, you've made your decision.
What an awesome review! Thank you
That's very kind of you to say, thanks!
Are there any fast 24mm (FF equivalent) IS lenses for the 80D.
I found this one at B&H: bhpho.to/2CQElTS
Hi
I mostly use my camera for street photography and landscapes, i also do not record videos that much.
i'm on a tight budget and cannot afford the full frame canon models, i already have 3 different Efs lenses from my rebel T3i and i think its time for an upgrade, would you recommend the 80d? will i notice a huge difference in terms of image quality if i upgrade to this model?
It sounds like you're set. There is very little (if any) difference in image quality. The differences may be in focus speed or somewhat better low light capability - but for most photographers these are not really significant changes. While I realize it's nice to have the latest gear, I'd first ask what specifically the T3i is missing that you expect the 80D to provide. The biggest quality improvement you can likely make is to purchase a high quality lens - like an L series (with the red ring), but even there you'll have to look carefully at your photos to see the difference. I suspect if this was a major issue for you, you would not be here asking for my guidance.
My wife has a T3i now, would this be a good one as she wans to upgrade and I want to get her one for Christmas … thank you in advance, Paul
Maybe - what's the T3i not doing that the 80D would?
Hello Maarten, please suggest if 80d is worth buying in late 2018. I am planning to buy a camera and thinking of 80d. You can also suggest any other camera in same price range
I'm not sure what your needs are, but I feel that the 80D is a good choice for a majority of photographers. Yes, there are newer cameras, but unless you know you need those features (even faster AF, even higher ISO, even better burst) this is a solid mid-range performer.
Thanks a lot Maarten for spending a moment and reverting to my query. Means a lot to me. Well I am hobby photographer and like shooting stills more than video. However I am also planning to start shooting videos hence looking for an all-rounder. 80D seems to fit in well and also within my budget. But my worry is that I don't want to end up buying a product which is outdated. Thought of buying eosm50 also. But I not very sure if it is as good as 80d. Can you please help me with your kind advise
I'm always happy to help, thanks for the kind words. For video, the M50 might be a better choice, but I worry about the woeful M lens selection, otherwise in quality, they're about the same.
Thanks a lot Maarten!
Always my pleasure.
sir,
which good camera considering image quality, nikon d7500 or 80d.
i am interested in portrait and landscape photography.
now i am using nikon d5300. i want to upgrade. i want to buy one from the above.
Why do you want to upgrade? What do you feel is missing? What do you hope the new camera will do that you can't currently do?
Which camera do u prefer for photography cannon 80d or nikon 7500d..
Plz replay me soon.
I think both are good choices. I would likely prefer the one for which I owned more lenses or the system I'd used in the past.
Uhhh - You can track other than people Face/Eye - Hope it works with video - I have been looking for that function and a lot of other reviews does not say that, thanks... (Just bought 80D last week.)
Always nice to know I've provided useful information. Thanks for the kind words.
sir I'm planning to buy a semi professional camera , strictly for photography like portraits , landscapes , street photography , product photography , small functions ..etc which one would you prefer between Nikon D7500 and Canon D80 . I love both of these camera and they are within my budget too .I want my camera to be good for photography my third choice is Canon 7D Mark 2 ..pls advise
You will not go wrong with either. Choose the one that fits your wallet, your hand and if you’re still undecided let your brand preference or design appeal choose.
Maarten Heilbron
Yup still you tell me your choice for photography ?
Someone adviced for reselling canon is the best to buy and also for a beginner a camera like canon would better to learn ..Nikon is bit complicated for a beginner , is it true ?
Anyways you pls tell me your best suggestion for photography ..I wanna take the shots with details in depth ..mainly product photography for advertising purpose and portraits !!
Please re-read my original reply. I would be happy with either. Don't let resale value influence your decision. Any new camera menu system will be difficult at first, and although some require more familiarization, I would not dismiss Nikon simply for the complexity of its menus. Wallet, Hand, Heart.
I borrowed my friend's 80D to check out its video quality. I was hoping for a poor man's C100, but the 80D isn't even close (actually shows just how nice those C100s are). Even with contrast turned down all the way I can barely tell a difference in the shadows. Agree, the touch screen auto-focus is really nice! Anyway, a shame Canon doesn't have flatter picture profiles. Panasonic still has the sharpest image with the nicest ability to change profiles/curves. Too bad MFT is small and the colors not red enough. Anyway, great video! THANKS! I was wondering where HDR video was, now, after your video I can try that. It's my last hope to get an image closer to the C100 ;)
It is of course unfair to compare these two, as they do follow different product design requirements. And I agree, Panasonic's curves are a very desirable feature that offer lots of flexibility not found in static Log settings.
However, starting with the neutral Picture Style, and then reducing the sharpness and saturation would be my recommendation. If you are losing detail in the shadows (and yes, as you see in my one-candle shot here, it's not the camera's best thing) I'd increase the exposure slightly and adjust the room's lighting to reduce the highlights. Hope this helps.
It's not so much "detail" that I'm looking for, as much as that "filmic" look of natural light. Like you said, my expectations are unreasonable. Still... :)
Pretty sure that natural look is created by a team of brilliant visual artists from the cinematographer to the lighting crew with loads of equipment.
HA HA HA! :) I don't see in any of your videos that you've used a C100, or a RAW based camera. If you haven't, the joke is going to be one you when you do, if you have, then do you really mean to suggest someone wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a 80D and C100 in the same lighting setup? Again, not that I disagree with you. My favorite saying in all photography is, "Amateurs talk camera bodies, professionals talk glass and photographers talk light"
+Maxotics Thanks for the kind words - it's nice to be included in the latter category.
Canon 80D and Nikon D7200 which one is best for photography?
Both are excellent cameras in their class. The question you should ask is which is best for you, and only you can determine that.
Can it do a digital zoom in 720p 60fps, or only 1080p?
Yes.
Good day Sir. ?What is better Sir canon 80d or 850d? Thanks🍻
Either might be better depending on your wallet, hand, intention and need.
I think you're guilty of a little bit of misinformation in this otherwise excellent review. At 7:27 the metering timer in menu screen 6 does not promise to customize the 4 seconds that the metering info is shown. What it does instead is customizing the time that the AE lock stays active. At 9:35 you state that pressing the info button cannot display a level. That must be because you haven't switched this function on in the menu. I was surprised to hear that you can't take stills while recording video, because you can do it on the older 70D (my camera). But it is true. And as it does make a hole in the video every time I do it, it isn't terribly useful anyway.
Thanks. I did understand what it did, however I hoped that it would customize the display time - which it seemed to promise from the label. However, thanks for the tip on the level - completely missed that, my apologies. The 80D manual (p 302) states that shooting stills while recording video is not possible - you are right, although not completely useful, the 70D did sort of do this.
I want to buy Canon 80d for still photography I am I right or not please tell me
You are right to buy the 80D for stills.
Wow, a load of useful info. You should consider making a video course for Udemy.
How kind of you to say, thanks, appreciated.
When you go fast you assume people know these things earlier on. if they know they most probably will not watch this. If they do not know then like me I cannot really make use of the information. So please go slow if you wish to teach. In spite of all this I hit the like button appreciating your hard work.
Thanks for your kind words. It is a review, not a tutorial - although I'm always happy to know that my videos are used to learn more about their cameras. TH-cam provides captions and tools to slow me down, and you are of course welcome to watch as many times as you need.
Awesome. But out of reach for me. The focus were amazing. Crisp pictures!
I appreciate the kind words, thanks for commenting.
will you please help me compare the Nikon d3400 and the canon EOS 700D? I'm a beginner. It'll be my first camera. please help. ☺
Both are good cameras - unless there's a specific photography goal (video, night, portraits, star trails - where one might offer small advanrages over another) my general recommendation for novices is to choose first with your wallet, then with your hand (maybe one feels more comfortable) and then with your heart - which one has the greatest appeal?
Maarten Heilbron I'll be going for casual photography(no particular goal, as I'll be just beginning to learn photography). So, I'm pretty confused. I also like a touchscreen, but I also want the latest tech. Would the D5600 be the best? Any other suggestion? Thanks for replying. ☺
The latest tech will just drive you to the most expensive top of the line cameras unnecessarily in my view, particularly for a beginner. Investing in good lenses is always better than buying expensive bodies. Although cameras continue to advance, cameras from the last 2 years or so remain excellent and powerful. Yes, you may sacrifice a few milliseconds in focus speed or a few burst frames per minute, but I suspect that even the pros have trouble appreciating these features. I have not reviewed the D5600, but I"m sure that, like its Nikon colleagues, it's an excellent camera.
Sir i have one question how performemce 80d in low light and what the dynamic range is perfect camera for photogeaphy this question plz reply sir im confused
You might be best to check with dpreview, who provided much more detailed analysis of these points than I do.
great review
Thanks for the kind words, always appreciated.
sir which camera will u recommend nikon d7200 or canon 80d?
for mostly night photography
I'd be more or less indifferent, as it likely depends on the lens you're using as much as the camera. Both are good cameras - pick the one that fits your wallet, your hand and your style.
Wise answer thank you
HI I;ve acquired an 80D however it will not go above 1/250 in any mode any suggestions, been on to canon UK help but not much help as yet. Have done factory reset and ISO etc in Auto setting, stumped !!!!
In S mode, you should be able to select any shutter speed. If not, the camera needs to be repaired.
@@MaartenHeilbron
Thought as much, thanx for the reply
Always happy to help.
its heavy because you have a very long lens...please use kit lens so its light weight
Hmmm, interesting thought - but in general terms, lens quality is directly proportional to weight.
Sir which one lense you are using with cannon 80d plz reply
The 24-105L series lens - but Canon also sent the kit lens.
Maarten Heilbron sir but 24.105mm is for full frame and cannon 80d is not full frame gamra
When using an APS-C camera, one is not limited to APS-C lenses. Full frame lenses work (and better than their lower quality APS-C brothers/sisters) on full frame cameras. Sadly, crop lenses don't work well on full frame bodies.
24-105 or the 18-135 Kit Lens....which one would you prefer for hobby videofilmers?
+DatHirschi while the kit is suitable, the 24-105 is superior.
Are there any other lenses in this range? I plan to buy one, because of canon Cashback.

what is your opinion on cannon77d for 60% photography and 40% video
I haven't reviewed that model, but I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be a good choice.
I'm deciding on buying 80D or A6500 for outdoor portraits. I don't really care about video recording stuff. Which one should i buy?
Although either is more than suitable for the purpose, I'd take the 80D with a suitable high quality portrait lens.
@@MaartenHeilbron Sir, do you believe Canon 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM is a high quality lense or am i just paying more for nothing? Thank you in advance
@@arianjamali6183 I would not consider any lens with an aperture ramp to be high quality. I think that Canon's lenses are competitively priced as there is lots of competition.
@@MaartenHeilbron Dustin Abbott can't decide between canon ef-s 24mm f/2.8 and Canon EF 50mm f/1.8. Which one would you choose by considering the fact that I'm going to be using on a crop sensor?
@@arianjamali6183 What field of view are you looking for to provide the results you need?
Cool review 👍
Winter in Toronto. Thanks for the kind words.
What do you say about picture quality 700d vs 80d ? if I buy good lenses, still 700d better?
I would say that the 24Mp resolution of the 80D makes it better, regardless of lens.
@@MaartenHeilbron @ Thank you so much for your kind reply!!
I'm always happy to help.
Nikon d7500 vs canon 80d for 50/50 videography and photography??
Choose either, based on your wallet, how it fits your hand and which brand you prefer.
I love nikon.... How bad d7500 focusing on video compare to 80d?
Then take the Nikon. As a consumer, you won't notice the difference. However, if you plant this thought in your mind it will haunt you, and might make the camera unbearable. No focus system is perfect, and they're all fast, using basically (in spite of what Canon's marketing would like you to believe) the same. All recent models get to their focus points quickly without hunting back and forth. There are very small differences, which may make the difference between a pro sports photographer getting the shot at a pro event - but that has little bearing on our day to day. Hope this helps.
Thank you ,sir
always happy to help
Great video. I will be getting it.
Thanks, I appreciate the kind words.
Wait a sec, "top APS-C sized DSLR". Following Canon's own nomenclature that would be the 7D Mark II. Way better autofocusing system and also has DPAF. Other than that, superb review.
Yes, sorry, that slipped out. I just don't think of that as a consumer camera, but it clearly is priced as one.
I agree. It's not that old but the speed at which technology has advanced makes it easy to forget.
Yes, thanks for your understanding.
how we buy or identify genuine canon 80D any idea plz......
Buy from a reputable authorized Canon dealer.
80d or 800d ? 80d has bigger ovf ? how much big
Either. Not sure.
what lens did u mention for clear pictures:)
Personally, I like the L series 24-105 (I own one).
thanks:) between this one and sony a6300 which one do you suggest is best?:)
That depends on what you intend to do - stills or video; do you need a light camera for travel; do you have any existing investment in lenses ...
The 80D is not Canons top of the line APC. That would be the 7D mk2.
Correct. My apologies, I mis-spoke.
Fogot to mention that I enjoyed the video :)
I appreciate the kind words, thanks! Working on the M5 review now. Too late?
pls compare 80d and canon m5
I will add this to my to-do list.
