Been flooded with questions about the 80D’s performance as it compares to the 70D in real word shooting. I have done many hands on tests with them side by side this is the best information I can give you if you are interested in either of these two competing cameras.

Here’s what I found:

– 80D Improved Dynamic Range (CLICK HERE to see the Sony A6300 vs 80D vs 70D Dynamic Range test)
– 80D Center Focus Square is a Low Light BEAST!
– 80D Live View Focus Vastly Improved (CLICK HERE for my low light focusing methodology)
– Better Buffer Performance (CLICK HERE to learn why your camera slows down on burst mode.)
– 80D More Bells & Whistles; headphone jack, 60 FPS at 1080, intervalometer

I also go over how similar they are (check out the ISO test here) and offer my recommendations on who should choose which camera and why.
