I was just watching a video of The Everyday Dad talking about the Cannon
80D, and if it was worth buying in 2020? (That's literally the title of the video.)
...and he kept mentioning something that struck me he kept talking about
"ease of use." Now, yes this camera is from 2016 and it doesn't shoot 4k, or 120
frames a second, it doesn't have internal stabilization it's pretty old but that
term ease of use 100% does the Canon 80 do you have that now funny enough when I
first bought a camera that was something that was super important to me but it
was also something that no other tech or camera review channel would talk about
and that is how good this camera is and how good it shoots in Auto well don't
you worry because that's what this video is about I am going to revisit the Canon
a TD in 2020 in full auto let's go hey everyone welcome to the channel my
name's Tom if you're new here please hit that subscribe button and wing that
notification bell so you don't miss any future videos
so let's start this out right and I'm gonna say it I shoot anonymous stop it
nerds don't get me wrong I've used Manuel and I get it but I want to go
back to the everyday dad's term ease-of-use
that's what's appealing to me with this camera now back when I was vlogging it
was a no-brainer to put on auto strap a Joby tripod to this hit record and not
have to worry about anything I wouldn't have to worry about varying light
conditions f-stop ISO not that I knew what it meant back when I first picked
up this camera Auto was definitely a safety net for me but beyond being a
safety net it was really good it's good in video and it's good in photo do you
want to know a secret every paid gig that I've had since I
bought this camera here's the thing customers don't care and they'll never
notice if anything shooting in Auto has made me a better post editor in
Lightroom now chances are at this point you've done your research on the Canon a
TD and you know that as a 45 point all cross-type autofocus
system that provides high-speed highly precise autofocus and virtually any kind
of lighting it also has an intelligent viewfinder that provides clear and
comprehensive image data if you choose not to shoot in Auto now if you were to
crack this tank of a body open like an egg you'd be looking at a twenty four
point two megapixel aps-c CMOS sensor but don't do that because it would break
the camera and that would be silly you can also shoot in 60 30 and 24 frames a
second in stunning 1080p and just think about all the hard drive space you'll be
saving not shooting in 4k that's a pro not a common the one thing that gets
brought up quite a bit with the Canon DDD is its lack of clean HDMI out thus
limiting streaming or external recording because you'll either have a focus box
on your face or photo and video info down the sides of your screen well let
me show you something this is a live stream feed on a Mac and this is a live
stream feed on a PC there's been some significant updates to program software
in 2020 now giving you the option to run a clean HDMI out on the Canon a TD
there's ECAM on Mac and the EOS utility beta for Windows links to both can be
found in the description below you can download those and start streaming for
tonight with a sweet face cam as silly as it is one of the issues that I had
with the Canon a DD was actually the battery plate on the bottom when I was
vlogging C I would always have a speed plate attached to the bottom or have the
camera attached to a tripod the size of those plates would always hinder access
to that battery compartment but I easily pivoted away from that issue just by
picking up a vertical battery grip I now have side access to two batteries
and it also easily allows me to use an AC adapter for when I use my camera for
live-streaming or recording an absurdly long YouTube
video I'll leave you with this all footage that you've seen of me sitting
behind my desk talking about this camera or shooting b-roll of this camera has
been with the Canon 5d Mark for any other footage was shot with the Canon a
TD in full auto do I think you should buy
the cannonade IDI now in 2020 I don't think you should buy it new no and its
current price tag as a new camera I think your money would be better spent
somewhere else or simply picking up a used camera with more batteries or lens
options this is an incredible camera and has got me through over a hundred and
fifty YouTube videos I have no intention of retiring it anytime soon and if you
guys do plan on subscribing just know that every future video including this
one will be shot on the Canon ATD in falada peace
