Canon 80d is one of the best Canon camera we have ever seen. The Canon 80d 24.2 megapixel sensor is undoubtedly one of the best performing APS-C sensor that Canon can an ever made.
yes we are saying the right words here, the Canon 80d performance is even better than Canon 7D mark 2 camera in low light conditions.
Despite of having a excellent sensor the Canon 80d also features 45. AF module. That works when you are using viewfinder and the DUal-Pixel AF system gets activated when you are using when you are using Live view display of the camera for shooting a video from and DSLR and believe me DPAF does a blazing fast AF performance without issue.

2. Canon 80D + 18-55mm, 55-250mm and EF 50mm STM Lenses (Best Deal)
Canon EOS 80D Digital SLR Camera with Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Lens + Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens + Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens + 500mm Lens @ Amazon.com
We have seen some aggressive announcements from Canon in past few weeks. And if you look at the specification of the recently announced Canon 77D camera, (see comparisons of both camera here), then you will going to find that Canon 77D features advanced Core specification when compared to the Canon 80d camera.
Why we are saying that the Canon 77D features advanced Core specification?, because the image processor inside the canon 77D is better than the Canon 80d. New image processor will bring new image decoding algorithm and hence you will see better image quality from it.
Just like Canon 77D the Core specification of the 800d also resembles with the Canon 80d camera.
Hence, after the announcement of these two clones the sales of Canon 80d will going to slow down tremendously. Only those who require a weather sealed camera Now going to purchase the 80D. Now what next will Canon do, the simple answer is to announce the successor of Canon 80d camera as soon as possible.
we have 3 camera by having exactly same Core specification. and hence we expect Canon will going to announce Canon 90d or maybe Canon 80d mark in near future.
Canon 90D
Name of the camera isn’t know yet, it may be called Canon 90D or may be Canon 80D Mark II. But we are sure that Canon 80D successor will have core specification somehow similar to Canon 7D Mark II camera. Yes, we do expect the 65 point AF system of 7D Mk II can be seen in Canon 90D.
Resolution Rollback isn’t expected
If Canon continues to show same aggressiveness, then we will going to witness Canon 7D mark 2 camera AF system under 80d body at end of this year (2017) or beginning of 2018.
But at the same time we are sure that Canon won’t going to roll back the resolution of Canon 80d to 20.2 megapixel of 7D Mark II. so, we are going to see a completely new sensor with 65 point AF system inside Canon 90D.
