SINGAPORE, 18 February
2016 – Canon today launched the new EOS 80D, successor to the popular EOS 70D, together
with the new EF-S18-135 mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens compatible with the
newly developed Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1. The EOS 80D takes imaging quality to the
next level with features such as an all-cross type 45-point AF system, DIGIC 6 image
processor with a 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor, and ISO speed expandable to 25,600.

“Following the success of the EOS 70D, Canon continues the quest
in pushing the limits of imaging quality. The new Canon EOS 80D empowers photographers
with greater creative possibilities, and will appeal widely to photography
enthusiasts looking to bolster their photography skills to the next
level,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon
Singapore. “Armed with a new kit lens and enhanced features such as the
all cross-type 45-point AF system and 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, the EOS 80D
is primed to deliver picture-perfect clarity and high image quality in every
single frame.”

The new EOS 80D boasts an all cross-type 45-point AF
system, with f/8 support at 27 points. This is a significant leap from the previous
all cross-type 19-point AF system available on the EOS 70D. Additionally, the
AF area has also been widened both horizontally and vertically, enabling higher
precision in tracking subjects in movement. With an increased minimum luminance
to EV-3 at the centre AF, photographers can be confident of the EOS 80D performance
even in low-light conditions.

With its 45-point AF system, users have greater versatility
and control in situations where there are unpredictable subject movements by
toggling between Single-point AF, large zone AF, or 45-point automatic
selection.

The new EOS 80D also comes equipped with an intelligent
viewfinder with approximately 100 percent coverage, a first in Canon’s
mid-range DSLRs. The intelligent viewfinder enables users to easily view useful
information such as AF areas, aspect ratio line, electronic level, flicker
detection, et cetera. With the ability to check the image range in its
entirety, photographers can focus on their desired picture composition without
worrying about unintended objects at the edge of the image (common in DSLRs
with a smaller viewfinder coverage area).

The EOS 80D is armed with an advanced AF system and
a new mirror drive mechanism that reduces mirror bounce, in turn reducing vibration
and shutter sound for faster and quieter continuous shooting at up to 7 fps. These
capabilities make the DSLR the perfect companion for a wide variety of
occasions, from action sports to events where silence is important, such as a
theatrical performance.

Taking performance a notch up, the EOS 80D is equipped
with a new 24.2-megapixel CMOS sensor which renders higher resolutions images in
sharp detail. Paired with the fast and powerful DIGIC 6 image processor, and ISO
speeds of up to 16,000 (expandable to 25,600, or 12,800 for
movies), users can obtain consistently high quality images under varying
situations, including night photography, wildlife, sports, or indoor shots
where using flash is not suitable.

The EOS 80D is armed with the new Canon EOS scene analysis
system, capable of analysing AF, Auto White Balance, and Auto Exposure to
determine the type of scene being composed and adjusting the optimum system
settings for the desired image. The incorporation of the 7,560-pixel RGB + IR
metering sensor in EOS Scene Analysis also addresses high frequency light
flickers imperceptible to the human eye. For indoor shoots under
artificial lighting, enabling the anti-flicker mode helps users with better
control of their images to minimise irregular exposure and colours.

The new Colour Tracking AF feature intelligently
seeks out AF points by detecting skin tone, thus placing priority on human
subjects when it comes to focusing. This improves accuracy of auto exposure,
bringing to focus the faces and expressions of subjects when taking portraits.

With Canon’s advanced imaging technology, shooting
vivid and expressive Full HD 60p movies is made incredibly simple on the EOS
80D, especially with its enhanced AF system. Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology,
also available on Canon’s newly launched flagship EOS 1D-X Mark II, enables
users to switch focus from a foreground subject to a background subject quickly
and simply by touch focus on the vari-angle touch panel. With Movie Servo AF
Custom Speed, users can achieve focus racking with adjustable AF speeds of 10
different steps, allowing videographers more flexibility for creativity when
filming to achieve cinematographic effects.

When shooting in varying lighting conditions, the EOS
80D’s HDR movies feature enables users to manage scenes with high contrast in
light while preserving the scene’s details even at full HD resolution. This is
accomplished by shooting each frame in both standard exposure, and underexposed.
The underexposed version would retain all the details of the image, and combining
both frames of the video will result in a video of optimum exposure with great
clarity.

New Creative Filters have also been added to create
new looks for videos. These filters include Dream, Memory, Miniature, Old Movies,
and Dramatic B&W. With these filters, users can experiment and make fun
short films to share with friends and family via the EOS 80D’s multitude of
sharing capabilities[1].
