To recap
At a glance Canon’s latest enthusiast DSLR doesn’t appear that different to the outgoing 80D. But with a large bump in resolution and burst shooting it’s an altogether different beast. Add 4K video shooting and this versatile shooter looks like it will reign as the mid-range master for 2019 and beyond. But treat it with some caution: the high resolution high-stakes does mean grain at higher ISO settings, while moving subjects are more challenging too.
