I am surprised no one mentioned the 7Dii. I am so happy with mine used mainly for outdoor action and landscape.

Then consider the Canon T7i. It will accept all Canon EOS lenses.

Note that some reviewers dub this camera as a camera for beginners, an opinion that I view as practical nonsense. With all its potential settings and its available configurations, this camera easily produces pro results.

Note that you should find a refurbished T7i for a cost lower than for a new one.

Good luck.

To offer my $0.02 worth:
Knowing what lenses you currently have is key.
Why stick with a Crop Sensor camera? Crop Sensor cameras are good for wildlife, Full Frame are good for portrait and night photog. Landscape can be done with either, so the determining factor in my mind is what lenses do you have?
If all Canon, are they EF or EFS or Both?
If they are all third party, for the most part, you are good with either Full Frame or Crop Sensor.
If the OP answered the lens question, I missed it. Sorry.

Be careful of gimmicks and features offered by Canon in their cameras. Look at the image quality spec's, not whether or not a camera shoots at 1/8000 or 1/4000. I doubt you would shoot at either high speed.
Low noise and dynamic range are key IQ spec's, especially for your new photography ventures.
If shooting outside a lot in poor weather and your lenses are weather sealed, then a weather sealed body is very important. If not, then weather sealed bodies are not very important. etc.
Is built in GPS really important? It's not like it is going to give you directions to get from one place to another. WiFi is also another option that may or may not be important. Only you know.

Also, look at refurb and used cameras and lenses. Good deals are available from Canon and the usual retail outlets.
Again, just my $0.02 worth.

There are differences between the 80D and the 77D; however they have the identical Dual Pixel CMOS AutoFocus system. The differences between these models are few, and the 77D is now available for $649 (body) with a full US warranty. Canon does not identify the 77D as a Rebel model; they call it the EOS 77D. The DIGIC 7 processor is a major improvement over the DIGIC 6.

The 77D is worth serious consideration.

I own the 77D, and I agree!😊😊😊

I considered the 80D but wound up buying the 77D because it had a later version processor (a year and half ago, don’t know about now). I don’t know if Canon did or didn’t make improvements in the processor that improved the focus capability, but I do know that the autofocus is amazing in its accuracy and speed. I figured that since I bought the camera for a specific event (50th high school reunion) I didn’t want to end up with unfixable shots of the group picture. I set it up in burst mode for about 6 sets of 10 (as I remember) and not one shot was out of focus.

One other feature I love that the 77D has is built in WiFi that works perfectly and quickly with my iPhones and iPads. This lets you make backup copies and provides remote actuation.

I upgraded from the Rebel t3i to the 6D a year ago and couldn't be happier. I wanted to upgrade from the cropped sensor to a full sensor. Do be aware though that this camera has no pop up flash(tighter body for keeping out moisture) & no rotating led screen..not sure why they went this route but I don't miss it. But this cam IS awesome in low light conditions and gives excellent results continuously.

Is 6D comfortable to hold? I've read a few home electronics guides by BestTechExpert while looking for a new camera but would like to know a bit more from the first-hand experience, pardon the pun.

VTdude

Lol...good pun. Yes it is very comfortable to hold. You get a feeling of solid worth while holding it..at least I do.

I upgraded from a T3 to 6D, but did not know that my EF-S lenses would not work on it, so it turned out to be an expensive upgrade. However, I love the 6D, and have entered the world of full frame photography.

So am I. I have a 6D and a 7Dii. Other than landscape and low light situations, I almost always grab the 7Dii. Used or refurbished, it should be available at your price point. Recommended.

I want to think all that applied to this thread. More information, the lenses that I own are a Tamron 28-300vc DI aspherical a canon 70-300 IS a canon 50mm prime and a 18-55 IS kit lens. The only EFS lens that I own is The kit lens. I hope I can get further information on a choice. I also own a speedlight, and most of my photography at the moment is done in the Pacific Northwest which does get rain about 7months out of the year.

I don't know the cameras you are looking at but I do know that when I take a class it often opens my eyes to areas that I had not anticipated. My suggestion is take all the advise you get but don't go purchase anything until you finish your classes just in case. Would be a shame to find you bought something for current desires and your photography desires took a different direction and the money is gone!
