You can see the AF selection modes and points but not the metering mode.

Just a thought. You aren't talking about the AF drive modes are you? You cant see those in the VF.
So I've taken the plunge and ordered an 80D from HDEW to replace my 8 year old EOS 40D. I can't wait to get out shooting with a modern camera.
I purchased mine from HDew. The 3yr warranty is with them rather than the 12 month with Canon, as they are grey imports. My body came in a kit box, minus the lens, and an adapter plug for the charger. Live view is so you can compose your shot, rather than looking through the view finder, and with the articulated screen its makes it a whole lot easier when the camera is low down etc.Funds are growing nicely and I could be ordering soon but first a couple of questions.
Best place to purchase ? HDEW seem to be around £755 with 3 year warranty (not sure if that is standard) and used on eBay seem no cheaper.
What is "live view" ? Is that where you can see a long exposure shot "develop" on the screen as the time goes by or is it just so you can see your composition etc before you take the shot ?
Many thanks
Tony
I ordered mine on a Thursday and it arrived on the Monday. Enjoy.Taken the plunge and pressed the button
Think I need to be getting my 60D moved on sharply now to part fund it.
Ordered from HDEW and away this weekend so crossing fingers it may just arrive in time before we leave.
There's some great videos on YouTube telling you all about the 80D. With tutorials on settings and features etc. Well worth watching.Getting me worried now as I'm still reading the manual on the 60D lol
Many thanks, not sure if the basschat picture will meet the competition criteria but always good to get an early entry in.
WOW, great shot. How big is that?

I ordered mine on Friday and I've just been told that it's been despatched so I'll have it in my hands tomorrow. Very impressed with HDEW so far.I ordered mine on a Thursday and it arrived on the Monday. Enjoy.
Every time i go to order from HDEW i end up using Panamoz instead. I dont know how the two compare but Panamoz always seems a bit cheaper. One day i will get to use HDEW though.
