For sports/action shots ... why not look at a used or refurbished 7D MII, designed for action shots. It and the 70 -200 are an unbeatable pair. One other suggestion, but it will cost dollars, might be a longer focal length lense. I have the 7D MII, 5D MIII and the same lens.

I have a Canon T6i I want a second camera I have been doing Grand kids and other kids high School Soccer and Basketball games I am looking at the 77D and the 80D Which one is better for sports and just taking pictures.
1. I don't understand DIGIC 6 Image processor for 80D DIGIC 7 for 77D ???
2. 16xAPS-C for 80D or APS -C Image Sensor for 77D ????
3. 1/8000 to 30 sec for 80D and 1.4000 to 30 sec ???
I do have the Canon Lens that help out---
1. EF 70-200 f 2.8 L IS II USM this one I have been using for sports
2 EF 24-70mm f2.8 L II USM for pictures
3. EF 50 mm f/1.4 for pictures too
I just would like to get better pictures

A new camera won't give you "better" pictures!

However, experience, knowledge of Photography, understanding your camera's features and abilities will. Clearly, an artistic eye helps.

With that thought in mind, the 77d is an excellent camera. The DIGIC 7 processor is superb. The desirable features of the 77d are vastly imoroved low light performance (offers the opportunity to shoot at faster shutter speeds), super fast, improved AF system and a top quality 24MP sensor.

The 80d does have the 1/8000 shutter speed, but I doubt you would ever use it.
The 80d will cost you more and will offer you very little in added features or benefits.
Also, the 80d is heavier.

I own a 77d, and cannot be more enthusiastic in my recommendation.

You said sports. The 80D has better low light capability (1100 ISO compared to 950 for T6i) and has a burst speed of 7 FPS compared to 6 FPS. In sports that makes a difference. I would definitely take the 80 D over the 77D.

What do you NEED that the T6i does not do? the answer should help you pick a new body. Perhaps you need a new technique, different angle, not a new camera. I get GAS too but resist, T1i and T4i doing very well for me. Bob.

Keep your current gear and master it. Your skill is what will make a "better" picture.

The picture quality is pretty much the same from both cameras. The 77D is noticeably lighter and the controls are closer to what you're used to on the T6i. The 80D has weather sealing and a few more dials. Your L-series lenses are fairly heavy so they might balance a bit better on the 80D. However, as EF lenses they also designed for full-frame cameras with larger sensors than the cameras you have mentioned. Although they are excellent lenses, I have usually found them a bit disappointing when I tried them on my old T1i and my 80D. (I hasten to add that lots of people would disagree me about the L lenses being disappointing on cameras like the 80D.)

If it is within your budget, I would suggest renting both cameras to see how you like them and in particular to see if you think the pictures you take are better than what you have now. I would also consider renting several EF-S lenses such as the 18-135 USM and/or the EF-S 17-55 F2.8 as possible replacements for your EF 24-70. The EF-S lenses are designed for the smaller APS-C sensors on the T6i, 77D and 80D.

Good luck.

As stated by many, it takes practice and knowing your settings. I know from experience, or putting it in better terms, lack of experience. I’m still learning at a very slow pace, but learning none the less.

I have the 7D MKII, and the same 70-200 f/2.8L and it is an excellent combination for sports.

Whatever you decide, shop around there are some good deals out there.

Good luck.
