amateurs who feel they’ve

outgrown their entry-level model

and would like to take the next

step towards progressing their

photography. Before commenting

on how it performs and offering

our verdict, let us remind

ourselves of what’s new.

Features

The EOS 80D’s 24.2-million-pixel

APS-C CMOS sensor is replaced

by an all-new 32.5-million-pixel

CMOS chip, which is also used

inside Canon’s latest EOS M series

camera: the EOS M6 Mark II.

Whereas the EOS 80D offered

an ISO range of ISO 100-16,000

(expandable to ISO 25,600),

the EOS 90D’s sensor goes

one better in the way it shoots

between ISO 100-25,600,

expandable to ISO 51,200. As

we’ve seen on Canon’s latest fl urry
