Interesting, K … Oh, yes, I see!!! … The whole dock (steps, as well) - is/are under water!!!

Did the roads, nearby - get flooded as well, K?

I gave up on this Post about a week, ago … what did I miss? … anything important?

Who's the two juveniles, Silver?

Hope you don't mean me … I just turned 72 last Tuesday!

I put this up as a Challenge - hoping to get folks who live near water (like me) to put up their Dock pics!!!
Let's get on with it - can we? … I just had it moved from the Gallery (my mistake!) to the Challenges section

Sure, Knox … hope my comments helped steer you in a good direction …

Oh, yes … I see that now … thanks, J … here it is:

"Ok so I'm just learning photography and was set on the T7 I but after reading these articles should I go with the 77D please help"

I just assumed it was an error … I see what you mean, now … T7 in this sentence … T7i … is quite different!

Abaaz - whilst the Canon EOS Rebel T7 is a very capable-entry-level Canon camera in its own right - after all - it does use the latest 24MP sensor - it still uses the older Digic 4 CPU. The newer 77D and the Rebel T7i - use the Digic 7 and the newer SL3 - uses the Digic 8. As Richard has already pointed out, the 77D will perform better and faster than the T7, but at a price that's double that of the T7 (which comes w/ an 18-55.)

Yes, of course you may, Davy … wasn't actually sure of that, when I wrote it.

Thanks for being on top of it. 19 it is …

My 60D and T4i - only have 9 - and I thought they'd continued that thru the T6s/T6i - but, I'm wrong!

It's a shame those two aren't still around … between the bigger size, and advanced features - those two seem to be a better choice than the current versions (if the bigger form appeals to you - that is!)

BTW, Knox … if you DO use the Wiki page for comparing Canon models - note that it seems to've been put together in the UK rather than the USA - so, you won't find Rebel denotations in the table. Here's the T4i pg.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_650D

As explained on THIS page, at the top - Canon uses three labels, in various areas of the world. In the UK - they use numbers - thus the T4i is a 650D. In Japan - it's a Kiss something or other. If you bear in mind the T4i and 650D are the same model, and then - go up from there, you'll have it. For example - the T5i is the 700D, and the T6i is the 750D, and the T6s is the 760D, and the T7i, therefore - is the 800D - there! Got it?

Originally, Alan - I'd thought the EOS 77D was the ONLY Canon DSLR, thus far, with Stabilized Video, but, it turns out the Rebel T7i has it, too - so choosing between them, based on that feature, alone, is not at all feasible. It's true the Top-Deck LCD is much smaller on the 77D than Top-Deck LCDs are, on bigger Canon DSLRs - even the 80D, the 70D and the 60D - but, it most definitely does make a difference when using a Tripod - which is the Op's main concern. Being that is the case - any of the models which feature the larger Top-Deck LCD will be an asset. But, note - the only Rebel-named camera which features the Top-Deck LCD is the older T6s - but because it's a bigger camera than the 77D/T7i - it may have a slightly bigger form. (But not by much!)

Knox - a web page I've found useful for going back and forth comparing features is the Canon Wiki page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_77D

At the very bottom - there are some quite useful tables. One allows quick comparison of basic features of all Canon models. Another table compares all similar models produced by other companies. Another compares all models in other categories. Just use the blue hyperlinks to go to each Wiki page on that particular model.

Yes, indeed, Jerry!! … Doubt whether either will last long - particularly, that one with the 55-250 thrown in!!

Knox - every i-series Rebel since the T3i - has had the fully-articulating (flip-out) LCD screen. The T4i - added the Touch-Screen feature, as well (soon followed in the 70D and all models of that series since.)
The 60D was the first of that series with it, but lacked the Touch-Screen feature. The SL2 and SL3 also have the flip-out Touch Screen. (The SL1 had a fixed screen, though, as do both of the 7D models.) The 6D2 is the first FF Canon DSLR to offer the Fully-Articulating Touch Screen, altho' others do offer Touch.

Knox - just a few thoughts on this. Essentially - the two bodies are the same camera, but with some very minor differences. The obvious one is the inclusion of the Top-Deck LCD on the 77D, but, in order to do that, Canon had to make some changes. First off - the screen is much, much smaller, than the ones on the EOS XX series (50D, 60D, 70D, 80D) … and - ever since the 60D, the buttons have lined up corresponding to the display segments (don't think they do on the 77D) and, of course - the switch has been moved over to the left - behind the Program Dial (as on the 60D, et al) instead of being just behind the Program Dial on the right - as it is with all Rebels. Also, you have Stabilized Video - in the 77D - a God's Send - which you don't have in the 80D - a BIG plus. There are also some other minor control changes. There are many, many comparison tests already available on the Net - comparing the two models. Many put the T7i ahead on sharpness, and reproducing fine detail, but the faster processor - may actually obscure some of that. Basically, what it comes down to is this - go with the T7i - and you have a seemingly more capable camera, with the red Rebel legend on the outside of the body, or - forego that luxury in favor of the top LCD screen - which you will have in the T6S or any of the EOS XX series. But do note - the T6S/T6i is a bigger body than the 77D/T7i, and has only 9 Focus Points, whereas all the later models have 19. If money is your main concern, however, the T6i/T6s (refurb.) may suit your needs better. If a well-laid-out top-deck screen is your primary objective - the EOS 60D (sans Touch Screen) or the EOS 70D (with it) may be a more suitable choice. And, with the 90D on the horizon, with a rumored 30-32MP sensor, it might be more advisable to wait (but the price will be up there - around $1200-1300.)

Extended thoughts, relating to the switch movement. I have two Rebels - T3, T4i (first w/ Touch-Screen) and they are both easily maneuverable with the right thumb (I'm sure you've noticed that, too, Knox) but with the switch on the left - switching the camera on and off - becomes a two-handed operation. This does - sometimes - slow down your response time, particularly, if you're in the habit of continually turning the camera OFF, immediately after making your exposure, in order to conserve the battery. I must admit it doesn't much matter with the 60D (lacks Touch-Screen) as the battery lasts approximately 1150 shots! But, all the more recent Canon DSLRs will provide much less, as they ALL have Touch-Screens, now - which significantly reduces your total exposures. Again, this is yet another factor you might wish to consider, Knox. I just took out my 60D yesterday, on my walk, and I am much impressed by it, once again (I usually take out the T4i, or another) AND even used it with a NON-IS AF lens (Tokina 16.5-135) and was bowled over - literally - by the images - so much better than I get with EITHER of my Rebels - both of which - have stabilized lenses. But, doing the on/off on the left - IS - just - a little tricky!!!

You're welcome, Dave … glad you got it sorted out, already (potentially, anyway.)

This is my Calumet 4x5, Dave. As you can see, it's a Bogen - Model 3050 … prior to this - it used to support my Mamiya RB67 in the Studio, on a Dolly - which I still have, but I only take the camera out as is
- the Dolly's now detached, broken apart, and stored. It's aluminum - relatively light weight, and uses knobs to fasten. It also has a quick release, which, when pressed, allows the whole thing to go down or up.

Very nice, Joe! … Wonder why it's called "Hairy" ….
