Canon has announced the EOS 80D camera, the EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, and the PowerShot G7 X Mark II point-and-shoot.
The EOS 80D features a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 6 image processor, and is capable of up to 7 fps and Full HD 1080p60 video. Also impressive is a new 45-point AF system, and as expected, Canon has kept the dual-pixel AF system that was introduced with the EOS 70D.
The EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM uses a new “NANO USM” technology that supposedly combines USM and STM. The only thing of note for this lens is it can be used with a PZ-E1 Power Zoom Adapter to enable power zoom for video or remote shooting applications.
