Canon 80D release date review specification
(24 megapixel, flipout screen, ISO 100-25,600, 45 cross-type AF points)
Canon 80D official announcement
The new Canon EOS 80d will have a 24 Mpix Aps-C sensor, fully moveable LCD panel, ISO 100-25,600, Digic 6 image processor.
The camera has a new 7460 pixel RGb+IR metering sensor.
The autofocus system is also brand new with 45 all cross type focus points. 27 of these are sensible up to f/8 which allows us to use an f/5.6 lens with an 1.4x teleconverter. The focusing system works until -3 EV in dark environment, it is similar to moonlight.
In live view stills shooting is available with servo af, which is a second time in any Canon camera.

The Canon EOS 80D has an interesting lens (a new 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 USM), which is the first Canon lens called Power zoom, and has a NANo USM focusing mechanism. This mechanism allows to control the lens from a Smartphone via Wifi, but for this a new small adapter is also needed which is called PZ-E1 Power zoom adapter which allows to focus the lens with much smaller increments. This adapter is only compatible with this new lens at the moment.
Flicker detection is also supported. The camera has a HD video at 60fps and a headphone socket.

Rumors guesses news about the Canon 80D camera
No Canon 80d camera yet, but can come in a near future. The near future can be in 2015 or more likely in 2016, or later.
The three possibilities for the new upcoming Canon 80D is the following:
1. Same camera, same sensor, as before and minor upgrades here and there.
This happened many time in the entry level segment in Canon land, but for higher end Dslr cameras Canon always wants to give some extra over the previous models. For example 4 years is needed to release the new Canon 7d Mk II in order to be a little better camera. The Canon 70d for example had a new Dual pixel live view AF, which is a significant improvement for people interested in video recording / film making. It is still an option though for the new Canon 80d, same or essentially the same or similar camera, little upgraded, refinded.
2. Functions inherited from the new Canon 7d Mk II camera, and perhaps other upgrades as well.
Let’s see what we have here. The sensor of the Canon 7d Mk II is a little better than the sensor of the 70d but the difference is not huge in terms of high iso performance or dynamic range. The biggest upgrade is the new autofocus system inherited from higher end models, with 65 all cross type focus points, fast 10 fps frame rate, precise focusing. This not means that the Canon 70d camera not precise in focusing, but seems the newer 7d Mk II is better. This option is perhaps the most likely out of the three. The 7d Mk II has an electronic compass and GPS as well. I don’t find these functions particularly interesting, they eats battery quickly, and for frequent travellers perhaps not good enough. Perhaps yes, I don’t know.
3. Some bigger upgrades, possible new sensor, new technologies, perhaps smaller pixel count, better high ISO performance.
It would be a most interesting. For example a 12 Megapixel sensor with significantly lower noise level. This is not sure to happen, because selling Full frame camera models always the top target for manufacturers, and smaller difference in high ISO would make crop cameras more appealing. Other possibility is a significantly better or different system sensor. For example a five layer Foveon like sensor. It would be a good option to try it in a lower level camera, not in the top model. There are many rumors about this one.
About the Canons recent sensors:
at that time when Canon used CMOS technology these sensors was the best on the market, but currently many manufacturers comes with better and better sensors. If the DXO mark numbers are correct, Nikon has a huge advantage over Canon and even micro 4/3 camera suppliers like Panasonic and Olympus is near if not ahead of Canon in sensor technology. Sony and Fujifilm is not worse either. My Nikon D7000 is lot less noisier than even the newest Canon 7d Mk II. There is some improvement but very slight.
What these suppliers missing is the lens lineup Canon has. In the FF segment the competition is not so high, mostly Nikon and Sony are the other competitors. Nikon ( or Sony ) better here as well in sensors in terms of high iso and dynamic range.
Canon mount lens table
I started to put together a big all Canon mount lens table, included third party and older manual focus lenses as well. The idea is to put all available lenses together for Canon mount. This page also can be accessed by Main menu-lens reviews tab as well, as through the below link:

Canon 80d specification guess
I see no point yet for a new Canon 80D camera. The Canon 70d is a very good all round camera with Dual pixel live view autofocus system, with articulated LCD screen at an attractive price point compare to the alternatives.
What would be nice to have more dynamic range, better high ISO performance, better video quality. At moment Canon 7d Mk II video quality lower than the Panasonic GH 4 quality according to dpreview samples, which means not very likely that the Canon 80d will be better in terms of video.
The big thing would be a better new sensor technology, which is awaited by many I guess. At Canon it will come most likely in the premium Full frame or Middle format segment first, just after at lower price points.
If Canon can make some groundbreaking improvement regarding sensor performance it would appear most likely in the 7d line first ( but who knows perhaps in the new Canon 80d, as the Dual pixel af appeared first in the Canon 70d ) after the Full frame models, than the lower price segment.

Canon 7d MK II
No news about the Canon 80D yet, but the new Canon 7d Mk II was announced. Seems the new 7d Mk II inherited many advanced functions from the higher end Full frame models. The price is very high for such a camera according to my judgment. The native ISO range is 100-16,000 there is no information about the real picture quality yet. Possibly the new Canon 80d will inherit some of the functions or more functions from the Canon 7d Mk II.
Latest news
What is most likely that the Canon 7d Mk II will be announced in Photokina this month. When the Canon 7d Mk II will be released probably this year, this give way to the new Canon 80d. It is interesting what the new Canon 80d can get from the technology used in the Canon 7d Mk II. There are not so exciting news yet, what will be new in the new 7d Mk II regarding sensor performance or new functions. The rumors speak about fixed LCD screen 20 Megapixel sensor, earlier rumors speak about three layer sensor and lots of new technology. Today they spoke about auto focus function up to f/8 (like the Nikon d7100 or Canon 1 series cameras), wide ISO range up to 51,200, and 65 all cross-type autofocus points. I guess it will be much more in the end.

The new Tamron is simply excellent and much more affordable than the other options, see in more detail in the review.

Introduction
Although the Canon 70D just recently released (Oct 2013) some of us thinking about the Canon 80D and what it would be like. Although the Canon 70D is an improvement compare to the earlier Canon Aps-C sized Dsrl cameras, but not really a real competitor of the Nikon d7100 in terms of image quality.
Canon 70D vs Nikon D7100
Datas according to the measurement of Dxomark laboratory:
Dynamic range: 11,6 EV Canon 70d vs Nikon d7100 – 13,7 EV
High iso: 926 Canon 70d vs Nikon d7100 1256
Colour depth: 22,5 bits Canon 70d vs Nikon 7100d – 24,2 bits
From the above comparison is obvious that there is a room for improvement, especially at High iso departent and dynamic range, where the Nikon is a lot better.
A dual pixel autofocus for video is also a nice feature(perhaps most of us video is not a priority in a still camera) but in speed is not up to Panasonic MILC cameras for example. The Canon 7d Mk II not released yet, perhaps Canon able to make a camera that can compete with the Nikon d7100, but perhaps wants to do this with a higher price. We will see soon.
