topsy turvy by jeff and jan cohen, on Flickr
Yes I have one fitted ,a Meike one two reasons one I have big mutt hands ,and secondly my main lens is a sigma 150-600 sport and the rig felt front heavy without the grip .all works fine and the battery life is like forever
Yes I have the Canon grip on mine. It does help with balance and grip. I personally would recommend one.
Un touched and un processed (apart from a resize for the forum)
Tried the Tamron and 18-135 USM in identical conditions.
The Tamron is being part-ex!!!
18-135 knocks the spots of the Tamron (apart from reach, but I still have the 55-250 and it is a good example - got some cracking shots of Red Arrows with it.
I'm not saying the Tamron is bad, but you have to work at it (focus in particular is sluggish and variable), not what you want for air-shows. I also think it lacks contrast compared to my Canon lenses.
I wouldn't, at least not just for that.Have to say I am still highly tempted to swap my 7D MKI in for one of these. Must be worth it for the better iSO alone.
Ive never read that the 80D ISO wins hands down over the 7Dmkii before. Although im not disputing your findings, all the reviews that ive read comparing these cameras say high ISO wins on the 7Dmkii, but there isnt a lot in it.
The rest i agree with. As i said, i think the 80D is the better camera, but either are more than capable of taking any of the shots in this thread IMO. Its the operators skill that gets amazing images, not the gear.
End of the day, i stand by my advice not to get the 80D just for ISO advantages. The 7Dmkii is a very, very capable camera.
Mike.P was talking about getting rid of his 7D mk1 for the 80D
Shot in Raw today for the first time with this camera. Uploaded the files but my computer won't read the RAW files nor will Lightroom. Any ideas?
The software from Canon will! I was amazed at the Canon software - last time I looked at it was when I bought my new 350D and it was not very impressive. It is now.Shot in Raw today for the first time with this camera. Uploaded the files but my computer won't read the RAW files nor will Lightroom. Any ideas?
In another post, I asked for help with the user manual for my Yongnuo YN14-EX macro flash. The reason being I couldn't for the life of me get the flash unit to work properly on my 80D.
It works just fine on my 5D MkIII.
I've read elsewhere of some third party batteries not functioning correctly in Canon bodies. Is this functionality issue starting to include accessories now?
Anyone else have this problem?
Possibly your menu settings not being right for whatever it needed to focus on ,this is a complicated camera in respect to its menu when used under adverse conditions .and it really does need thought as to what you intend to take with itI've recently got back from a safari where I took my 80d and Mk1 100-400, although I got some amazing shots I did have some focusing issues with the 100-400 when it's at about 200mm focal length.
For some reason the focusing was slow and would hesitate back and forth until after 20 seconds or so when it would finally focus, however if I changed to a shorter/longer length focused and then moved back to around 200 it was ok.
This was using the AI servo mode.
Just before I went I had an issue with the friction ring on the 100-400 so sent it off to Canon for a repair and service and it came back as being all in perfect condition, so I don't suspect an issue with the lens.
Has anyone else found this? or have any ideas?
