What is your current camera, the 70D, not doing for you?

Probably not satisfying his need or want to get a new camera? What difference does it make anyway?!

Well, since can't seem to figure it out, I'll help you. If a person wants to upgrade a product, it helps to know what they are lacking in the current one. For example, let's say a person's current camera only has one memory card slot. The person feels really insecure about that one card failing and wants two. Another example would be ISO range. Let's say they are looking for the highest ISO setting available. These kinds of clues can help pinpoint what to suggest. Otherwise, it will be the usual UHH crapshoot with everyone suggesting the camera they own.
It might even boil down to "my photography sucks" and a new camera will definitely make me improve. Camera companies love this one.
So, I hope this assists you a bit in understanding why to ask such a question regarding what the current camera is lacking.

Actually, my reason for the what difference does it make anyway, has nothing to do with my personal lack of knowledge or understanding. It has to do with the many, many folks who, for some unknown reason, always try to advise people who have asked about upgrading, not to, and then go on about the askers ability and have they mastered their current camera and such.
I'm a firm believer in, if they want it and can afford it, then buy it. Whether or not they have mastered or outgrown there current camera is irrelevant. For those who can afford to, upgrading is a good thing. Good for the individual and good for the camera industry, and possibly good for the person who buys the old, but still decent camera, the asked sells after they get their new camera.

Sure but why ask? If you know what you want then buy it.

That's a very well thought out response to the responses thrown at you. Equally, the "what does the current camera not do for you?" is a valid question, if a little blunt and to the point. I have a 60D, a recent upgrade from my 50D. Doesn't make me a better photographer but SD cards are more convenient than the CF and higher resolution doesn't hurt. I'd love to "upgrade" to a 70D it must be better because it's newer. Our whole world revolves around the consumerism thing (sadly). Andrew.

The OP probably does have his next camera in his sights already but no harm in getting other opinions....that's exactly what the forum is all about.....I thought. One of the best parts of (consumer) life is the hunt for the holy grail.

R7 would be a whole new world for you with the eye AF for BIF.
Higher resolution as well.
It is not a marginal move but several generations jump.

The holy grail is a moving target and right now on the Canon field it's either the R3 or R5.

I agree in principle with what you are saying. Most of the stuff I own doesn't really address a real "need." BUT...the other side is that knowing what the requestor wants to be able to do, or to be able to do better or faster, certainly has the potential to drive more intelligent and applicable responses. It won't eliminate the "buy what I have" answers, but the others can be better directed.

I went from the 70D to the 90D. Allows me to use all the same lens that I have with more features.
