you can probably see that I missed most of your info...I will reread the instruction after some sleep. :-)
THANK YOU! I have been trying to figure out what directions I am missing in this posting style. As you can see I am still up and foggy, worked 9 hours tonight get up by 9 everyday to take care of horses and when I am not doing that I am finishing a 100 ft privacy fence. I am pretty tired usually. I do so appreciate everyone's great suggestions, hints, what they use and all the info I learn on here.
I did read many comparisons and a video between the 2. Side by side the basics are pretty much the same but the 77D has a little weather protection, and except for some buttons and a meter on top of the 77D even the guy doing the video couldn't see much difference. Why did canon make basically the same camera?
I surely can understand your reasoning and pretty much agree with it. If I didn't have this trip that I have been waiting for for almost 20 years I would take more time.
thanks for the clarifications on the butterflies.
Thank you. I will definitely check it out. That is where I was going to get the T7i - refurbished of course.
I think I have replied to all your suggestions and will definitely heed those. Those who told me they use Canon camera and Tamron lens, thank you as well, helps to know that my research and ideas are pretty good ones. :-)
M + Auto- haven't tried that yet. I still have times when I shoot auto just to make sure I get the shot I am looking for and will not hesitate to use it. Thanks for your suggestion.
The improvements to this camera I stated earlier but speed and wifi are 2 reasons for the camera and sharpness for the lens. Even though I have been told I have a pretty good "eye" the sharpness is not there. Believe me this will be my last upgrade (I have other things that I want to spend my money on..lol) Which is why I came to UHH - I know you all have so much more experience and can give me the right advice or maybe options to consider so that this setup can last me 20 years.
I am not quite sure how to read the graph but I am very grateful for your explanation as well. Thank you.
I do have a wide angle Sigma that I bought 2 years ago on a trip to Maine to visit my daughter. I am happy with it but rarely use it. It will come with me to Vancouver because I am taking a seaplane ride over the Pacific Rim and definitely want that. Thank you for that reminder.
I have a T3i. I have been pretty happy with except for the lag and the lens is the standard 70-300.
Thank you. I will try that here. The butterflies have been abundant in my yard and they certainly give me plenty of opportunities to try that.
There is a very good camera shop here in Austin so I probably give rental a try. I would love to buy from them and keep our locals in business but their prices are higher than anywhere on the web. Thank you for the suggestion.
