Canon shows it can Hot on the heels of the EOS-1D X Mark II comes the EOS 80D. Aimed at keen enthusiast photographers, it sports a new sensor, an advanced AF system and a big buffer

Three months into 2016 and Canon has already announced its second and third DSLRs of the year: second is the EOS 80D; third the EOS 1300D. And there’s also a new lens. The EOS 80D is a very different proposition from the EOS-1D X Mark II announced earlier this year, but it will affect far more photographers. It is a 24-megapixel APS-C DSLR with all the features needed for budding creative photographers to expand their

horizons and there’s a performance to match. Autofocus is handled by a new 45 all cross-point system and continuous shooting is possible up to 7fps. Add Wi-Fi, Full HD video, ISO performance up to ISO 25,600 and a vari-angle touchscreen and you have an enthusiast’s camera par excellence for £999.99 body only. The third DSLR is the entry-level, 18-megapixel EOS 1300D, which is set to retail for £289.99 body only.

The new lens is the EF-S 18- 135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS standard zoom priced at £439.99. This is the first Canon lens to use Nano UltraSonic Motor technology for very fast, silent focusing. The EOS 80D, EOS 1300D and 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS will all be available from next month. There’s also a new Power Zoom adaptor; turn to page 6 for more.
