Canon EOS 80D DSLR Officially Announced with 24MP Sensor

Canon has officially announced its prosumer DSLR camera; the EOS 80D with a newly developed 24.2-megapixel APS-C sensor.

The Canon EOS 80D is a new mid-range DSLR camera designed for capturing stills and video. The EOS 80D features a  24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 processor, alongside a new 45 all cross-type point AF system, native ISO 100-16,000 range, expandable to ISO 25,600, and fast responsive 7fps shooting rate.
