Along the right, options include: a return button, White Balance, Picture Style, an Auto Lighting Optimizer toggle and a Creative Filter option.

I also like the fact that switching between the touch-shutter and touch-to-focus requires simply tapping the icon visible in the bottom left of the screen. Of course, the touch-shutter can be useful for other scenarios too, such as when shooting at tough angles. It may not be the purist's way of shooting street photography or capturing candid moments, but when coupled with the articulating screen, the feature makes it really easy to go unnoticed and get your shot.

There are not a whole lot of APS-C cameras on the market that offer both (RIP Samsung NX1), and none in the full frame segment. Even if you haven't previously used a touch-sensitive Canon, the interface is very straightforward.Īnd while the ability to use continuous autofocus in live view may not seem all that revolutionary to mirrorless camera owners, successful continuous focus in live view + a touchscreen is a pretty big deal. The user interface in live view is unchanged from the 70D, and should look familiar to anyone who has used a touch-enabled Canon DSLR before.

Like its predecessor, the 80D a has Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, but unlike any other Canon camera, dual-pixel AF on the 80D functions in continuous (AI Servo) mode for stills shooting. The 80D has one of the most tempting live view feature sets of any DSLR to date.
