The Canon EOS 80D DSLR Camera (Body Only) is Canon’s powerhouse mid-range DSLR built for photographers who demand speed, precision, and creative flexibility. Driven by a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, it delivers stunningly sharp, low-noise images across a native ISO range of 100-16000 (expandable to 25600), with continuous shooting bursts of up to 7 fps — making it equally at home in bright daylight or challenging low-light environments.
Engineered for both stills and video excellence, the EOS 80D pairs a 45-point all cross-type AF system with Canon’s acclaimed Dual Pixel CMOS AF for silky-smooth focus in live view and Full HD 1080p video at 60 fps. A 3.0-inch vari-angle touchscreen, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC, and an RGB+IR 7560-pixel metering sensor round out a feature set that makes the 80D one of the most versatile and connected DSLRs in its class.
