The EOS 80D combines leading imaging technologies for capturing still images and Full HD movies. The new 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor with DIGIC 6 processor provides excellent clarity and the freedom to crop in, while the new 45 all cross-type point AF system and 7fps shooting can capture action with precision.
