Hi, i was using the 70D for video, and to change ISO i used the "shortcut" (C.Fn III) that let you change the ISO by holding the SET button and turning the Main Dial to change the value.

now i got a brand new 80d, configured for the same shortcut, but it only works in photo mode, not video mode. (SET + Main Dial change Shutter speed as if SET button was not pressed)

It's a bug perhaps? that was the easy way to change ISO while recording video...

80D firmware v1.0.1

After more research, i decided to go with the 80D. too much people with problems. i spoke with a guy that import cameras, and he stopped selling the 70D due to many problems and many many warranty exchanges.

He said some got problems in a month and a lot after a year.

yes, but I need a cam for video. and the 70D LVAF is great. this is mostly why I'm considering the 80D, due to the same LVAF.

i used a 7D yesterday and for video the 70D is way better. so I am between 70D and 80D.

I have a 70D for almost a year, using for video, recording around 1h of video every week. this week the image on LCD became all pixelated and corrupted, the camera started to freeze, now it just give an Err 70 and 80. will be sent to warranty.

i also have friends with 70D and some of them also had malfunctions with this camera. and also, i have the "luck" of getting one with the focus problem (using my 1.8 lenses i got around 20% of shots in focus), so I use my old 50D for photo (focus perfectly), and was using the 70D for video only.

my question: is the 70D still a good choice? the 80D is considerably more expensive here (brazil) and no magic lantern in near future (was using ML on 70D wonderfully), and don't know the long term reliability (or we will know in a year the 80D also give problems)

don't know if just got unlucky or this camera do not last as long as my old ones (i have 5+ years cameras with not a single hiccup)

thanks in advance

Anyone got problems with latest camera raw?

i did a few tests a week ago, worked great, but then i've reinstalled my pc, and now i have photoshop 2015.0.1 and ACR 9.2.0.486, and my dualIso's DNG show up really overexposed. (exposure slide can't fix it)

but they show properly when viewing with acdsee

im i doing something wrong? my camera is a 70D

You can also you the flash button to switch movie servo auto focus on and off quickly

maaan, came her to find a shortcut for this... thanks!

i think i will glue something on that button, cause is too deep and hard to press while shooting

custom function on buttons are only temporary focus disable, not permanent. the flash button is the one that did the trick
