I was thinking about upgrading to the 7dmk2 but this sounds like it could be even better.

Oh I forgot the price - Body £999.

It's not really better than the 7DmkII when that can do 10fps, has 65 AF points and has a buffer depth of 1000+ JPEG images.

Yes but for me doing mainly landscapes with a percentage of wildlife and sports 45 AF points is fine - a big upgrade on the 11 I have atm...and 7fps is ok.. and I just love the articulated touch screen which the 7dmk2 doesn't have. It's just so much easier to navigate with than buttons. Sensor quality should be the same with higher mp count ( although that doesn't mean everything this day and age ) and the dual af video system seems better on the 80D.

But the 7dII is £500-£600 more. That's a lot to pay for a few extra AF points. Besides, the 70d/80d have a pop out Qtouch screen and wifi which i find pretty useful.

I boutght the 70d last Septmebr, i knew a revised Digic 6 version wouldn't be too far behind the 7dii..

I can't see thr £999 price tag holding.. If that falls then the 80d is no-brainer imo

My thoughts too - it's still early days but initial impressions are that this would be an ideal Camera for me...

The 80D looks a pretty good camera, especially when the RRP drops to current 70D pricing levels.


A Canon 6D is pretty close - £1099 from Amazon (UK stock)

But severely lacking for anything other than Landscapes. That's a strictly FF landscape body imo, useless for wildlife and sports.

Is useless really a phrase that should be applied to a modern DSLR whatever the brand or spec, are you seriously suggesting that a 6D would not be able to get decent images of a bird in flight or man playing football?

"Not as good as" would surely be more appropriate.

I didn't mean useless literally lol - problem with the Internet is there's you can't convey a tone with words :p everything just comes across as really frank. :D

I've taken keepers of sport (F1 at Silverstone and had them published) and wildlife with my 700D so it's obvious that the 6D is of course capable of taking action images but it's AF system etc. isn't geared towards it at all really.
