looking for d80 w/18-135

If it is Canon, it is probably an 80D, (the D80 is an old Nikon...)

And what price range do you expect to get this for?

The Canon store Refurb dept has that combo for $976.65 with a limited time coupon code. (They do charge tax but if you select 3-8 day ground the shipping is free)

Warranty is 1 year, same as new in box.

I just ordered the body only for $679.15 plus tax. I am trading my 6D and 7DII to get the 5DIV so the 80D body will become my backup and max reach camera. I really like the 7DII but find that all of what I do can be done with the 80D and the newer sensor is something I want. I can live with the slower fps and lighter build. I use 7 fps "silent mode" and baby my gear anyway.

Just checked your link for Canon. Seems the refurbed 80D is now $799.00 and is out of stock. However, the refurbed 80D w/18-55mm lens is $779.20 and is in stock. Go figure. Usually it's the one that is out of stock that is less expensive.

Oops, just rechecked the website. Now the 80D w/18-55mm lens is out of stock. However, the refurbed 80D w/18-135mm is still in stock but for a hefty $1.079.20

They had an extra 15% off for Halloween. Over now. Next specials should be for Thanksgiving and Black Friday.

The one I ordered left the warehouse in Virginia yesterday and is scheduled to get to me Tuesday. I picked the free ground shipping.

80D does give great value for the price.
The 18-135 is a general purpose "walk around" lens in EF-S mount and there are three versions of it in the catalog.
I got one for my daughter but I use my EF 24-105L on both my FF and APS-C body for the "walk around" purpose. Mainly at events since the rest of the time I am either doing birds and bugs with either my 100-400L or my 180 macro.

Your T6 is the bottom of the line with an older sensor than the T6i and T6s. With Canon the model designated T'x' with no letter is always the least expensive bottom of the line beginner model. Often with the older sensor that was on the models ending with 'i' or 's' in the previous model series.

I purchased my 60D w/18-135mm lens during a Canon Black Friday sale a few years ago.

For a loooooooooong article with explanations of why this wildlife photographer uses which settings go here:
http://www.grantatkinson.com/blog/canon-80d-setup-for-wildlife-photography

He also has a video that is about 32 minutes right at the beginning of the article. He explains, has pictures of the camera and some pictures taken with it. Then attaches a bunch taken by another photographer in Africa to show results.
Just the setup article with pics is nearly 50 pages when I copied and pasted to print it, I got that down to 5 pages by deleting the pictures, leaving off the Africa pics and changing the font, spacing etc after pasting in Word.

Oh, one thing no one mentions: when I was putting in the date, time, copyright info if you make a mistake and need to delete a letter/letters, you push the trashcan/delete button on the camera and the text deletes one at a time.
