Canon's enthusiast APS-C DSLR with 24.2MP sensor, 45-point AF, and Dual Pixel CMOS AF for video.
The Canon EOS 80D was released in 2016 as a mid-tier enthusiast APS-C DSLR featuring a 24.2MP CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF for live view and video, and 45 cross-type AF points in the optical viewfinder — a significant increase over the 70D's 19 cross-type points. 7fps burst. 1080/60fps video — no 4K. LP-E6N battery (~960 shots). At approximately 730g with battery and card.
24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor with Dual Pixel CMOS AF. 45 cross-type AF points (OVF) — all cross-type at centre cluster. 7fps continuous burst. 1080/60fps video — no 4K. LP-E6N battery rated approximately 960 shots. Body weight approximately 730g with battery and card. Tilting 3-inch 1040k-dot touchscreen LCD. No weather sealing (though improved sealing vs 70D).
The 45 cross-type AF points is the 80D's primary differentiation from the 70D: 45 cross-type points across the frame provide significantly better subject acquisition compared to the 70D's 19-point system. Dual Pixel CMOS AF in live view enables smooth, fast AF tracking for video — the system that later Canon DSLRs and mirrorless bodies adopted. The LP-E6N battery is shared with the 5D Mk III/IV, 6D, 7D Mk II, 70D.
On the used market the Canon EOS 80D is affordable as a mid-range enthusiast APS-C DSLR. Condition checks: shutter count via EXIF, LP-E6N battery health (widely shared with Canon pro/enthusiast bodies), tilting LCD hinge, and no weather sealing. No 4K. Compatible with all Canon EF and EF-S lenses.
