Summary

This is a review of the Canon EOS 80D that came out this week. Having been an avid user of the 70D for almost a year, I was extremely excited to check out the new version. B&H http://goo.gl/nGKUAG Amazon http://amzn.to/1SpT6vU First off – the dynamic range is amazing. The new sensor Canon is using may be an indication of things to come in the future. I did some testing in this video. There’s a more complete test over at DPReview – definitely have a look. http://www.dpreview.com/news/7168986570/canon-shows-dynamism-eos-80d-breaks-new-ground-for-canon-low-iso-dr SPONSOR This video is sponsored by Squarespace For a free trail and 10% off your order, visit http://squarespace.com and user offer code AOP on checkout Twitter: http://twitter.com/tedforbes Instagram: http://instagram.com/tedforbes Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/aop.podcast Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/tedforbes Website: http://theartofphotography.tv And get on our mailing list to stay up to date on photography news and the latest episodes: http://theartofphotography.tv/about/mailing-list/ Ted Forbes The Art of Photography 3100 Main St #135 Dallas, Texas 75226 Thanks for watching - if you like this video, remember to share it with your friends!

0:00.0	In this is the video we are going to take a look at the Canon 80D which is up there I knew I would do this is the 70D
0:08.3	Okay, so this is the 80D and I'm filming with the 70D they look an awful lot of likes so it's easy to get them mixed up.
0:15.3	Before I start on this review I do want to give a disclaimer. Many of you know that Cannon hired me
0:20.5	recently to go down to Austin and do some work with the John Lennon bus
0:24.0	and we did two videos while it was down there
0:26.0	that you can check out.
0:27.0	I'll put links in the show description.
0:29.0	Both of those videos were sponsored by Canon.
0:31.0	This video is not sponsored by Canon. In fact, this video is not

1:00.0	I've run with this.
1:01.0	Now in terms of dynamic range the two biggest challenges
1:04.0	when you're determining an exposure for your photograph are going to be the
1:07.0	highlights in the shadows. Now highlights are the brightest part of the image and
1:11.2	when they go too bright we call that clipping and once
1:13.7	highlights have been clipped they start to lose detail in fact once they've gone
1:17.2	to pure white they contain no detail. Now if you're shooting in raw format you can
1:21.3	restore a little bit of that but it does have a limit on
1:24.0	how much is actually recoverable. Now particularly in digital
