DPReview posted the results of their tests on the Canon Canon EOS 80D‘s dynamic range.

The article is pretty interesting, and understandable also by non-engineers.

Previous Canon sensors have conducted the analogue to digital conversion step away from the sensor, an approach that contributed noise that limited dynamic range at low ISO settings (while still allowing the excellent high ISO performance that Canon’s CMOS chips built a reputation with). The sensors in the EOS 80D and EOS-1D X Mark II appear to have an on-chip ADC design that conducts the conversion within the sensor, shortening the electronic path and preventing this noise building up.

The results of exposure latitude and ISO invariance are striking. It was already known that Canon had a new sensor design (maybe also on the Rebel T6s, Rebel T6i and EOS M3 but I am not sure), now we have test results that confirm the new sensor design, and the better performance that this design delivers. The reason:

Chris Winter posted a neat 6 minutes video on YouTube where he reviews the Canon EOS 80D’s features and in general gives a good overview about the EOS 80D and what is new compared to the Canon EOS 70D.

Imaging Resource posted a set of Canon EOS 80D pictures shots in controlled studio settings. The whole ISO range is available, and you can compare the shot with the Canon EOS 70D and Nikon D7200.

A short overview is here. The set of Canon EOS 80D lab sample images are here. You may also want to use their Comparometer to see how the EOS 80D shots compare to other cameras.

The EOS 80D is expected to start ship on March 25. Canon EOS 80D at a glance:
