Canon EOS 80D Camera Birds in Flight Testing Cape Town

Grey Heron in Flight : Canon EOS 80D

A few sample images from the New Canon EOS 80D captured during Saturday's group Walkabout at Woodbridge Island

Enjoyed a nice Birds in Flight photo-walk yesterday with a great bunch of local photographers (who endured the wind to walk with me and even bought the coffee).

I was quite impressed with high(er) ISO performance and image quality of the Canon EOS 80D - as with my Canon EOS 70D / EOS 7D Mark II I use Auto-ISO for most of my Birds in Flight photography. In my opinion the new body perform as expected (by me) - between the Canon EOS 70D and Canon EOS 7D Mark II ito AF and general handling.
