Canon introduces digital DSLR camera

Canon launched the new EOS 80D digital DSLR camera recently, with advanced features to improve the professional photographer experience. The EOS 80 D which replaces the popular EOS 70 D comes with new EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM kit lens compatible with the newly developed Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1.

"We are already taking pre orders for the EOS 80D and the model will be available shortly at the showroom," said Suresh Herath, General Manager of Metropolitan Photohub (Pvt) Ltd, the sole authorised distributor for the full range of Canon cameras and lenses in Sri Lanka.

With Canon's advanced imaging technology, shooting vivid and expressive Full HD 60p movies is made incredibly simple on the EOS 80D, especially with its enhanced AF system. Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology, also available on Canon's newly launched flagship EOS 1D-X Mark II, enables users to switch focus from a foreground subject to a background subject quickly and simply by touch focus on the vari-angle touch panel.

With Movie Servo AF Custom Speed, users can achieve focus racking with adjustable AF speeds of 10 different steps.

Canon has launched a new kit lens with the EOS 80D, the EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, along with additional optional accessories geared to enhance the experience for photographers.

The new kit lens provides zoom range flexibility and is equipped with a new Nano ultrasonic motor (USM) to achieve high-speed, quiet, and smooth AF for shooting stills and movies.

Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore, Edwin Teoh said, "Following the success of the EOS 70D, Canon continues the quest in pushing the limits of imaging quality. The new Canon EOS 80D empowers photographers with greater creative possibilities, and will appeal widely to photography enthusiasts hoping to bolster their photography skills to the next level."

"Armed with a new kit lens and enhanced features such as the all cross-type 45-point AF system and 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, the EOS 80D is primed to deliver picture-perfect clarity and high image quality in every single frame," he said.
