The new sensor makes this class of Canon camera more closely matched to a number of big competitors, and we do see image quality improvements compared to the 70D.but it still lags behind the best of its competitors in a few areas. We've just completed our full Canon 80D Review, and simply put, it's an all-around excellent DSLR with a good combination of image quality, advanced features, great build quality, and a good price point. The Canon 80D is therefore definitely improved on multiple fronts, so how does it stack up to the competition and is it worth your hard-earned dollars to upgrade?
Featuring Dual Pixel CMOS AF, of course, the 80D also sports a new, higher-res 24MP sensor, a faster processor and an upgraded phase-detect autofocus system. The follow-up Canon 80D continues this multimedia tradition laid out by the 70D.
