The Canon 80D is rumored to be announced soon. As pointed out by Canon Rumors, reference to the Canon 80D appeared on the Canon USA website on its Digital Photo Professional support page for supported cameras and lenses with the Digital Lens Optimizer feature.
This should really come as no surprise, given that the Canon 70D is almost 3-years-old. Rumored features for the Canon 80D include a new AF system and more AF points. There is really a lot of room to grow the 80D between the Rebel T6s and 7D Mark II, so there could be more in store for it as well.
Update: I’ve found a few other articles on the Canon USA knowledgebase website that reference support advice for the Canon EOS 80D.
Notably, one of the articles confirms (no big surprise here) that the 80D offers NFC and WiFi (see below).
