Well, perhaps that's why I like handling my Canon's. And with cameras I don't even have to tip them when stripped down to bare essentials! 
I did read in the Canon magazine PhotoPlus Spring edition a letter to the editor saying that the magazine needed to focus more attention on women photographers, so there's plenty of fingerpointing to go around.
At least so far, none of the camera makers have come out with a pro FF camera, in pink metal for the ladies and labeled it Lady Canon or Lady Nikon.
Remember the Lady Smith 9mm pistols in candy pink?

They're full frame sensors. Somebody may have indicated that due to the number of megapixels that they might perform like medium format cameras. That may be up for debate.
Thank you. The Canon's been available for awhile but as the folk on UHH get their mitts on the new D850, I'm sure they'll be some strong opinions about whether those two cameras are playing in the medium format leagues. Should be great fun.

Lenses with br br Absolutely no contest. The I Phone 7-10 would have a better camera than the one you are describing.
I don't want to side track the post, but I've seen in several different threads lately that the Canon 5DS/R and the Nikon D850 have medium format sensors. ????? I looked up the 5DS sensor size and it's CMOS, 36 x 24 mm. Isn't that just full frame?

I did think your response was very gentle and diplomatic. Thank you.

As a retired engineer, I found there are folks like myself and other Hogs that love reading technical articles, books, spec sheets and even the difficult, must flip back and forth from the diagram or figure and the description, of the typical owner's manual. I prefer reading and googling to asking questions.
That's really not good or bad, just personal preference. There's another group of folks every bit as smart and talented that prefer to ask experienced folks that know their sh!t rather than page through the "fine manual". I don't think that's good or bad, just their preference. So the OP got an online link to the fine manual and several nice explanations about shutter priority and life's good.

Maybe Verizon should change its motto to "Always in your wallet!".
Sorry for your trouble.

I don't remember the model but it was an Olympus 35 mm film camera I bought in '84 timeframe that you pulled open to reveal the lens and when you were done you pushed it back together to cover the lens. I got typical 35 mm prints.
That was about the time I bought a Mac 512. 😁😁
I don't think the questions are inane, it's just more fun reminiscing about the past instead of getting real work or chores done.

I do the vast majority of web browsing, UHH viewing, forum reading, location searching, carb counting (diabetes), puzzles, sudoku, and even an iBook or two from my iPhone. When I'm jogging or walking in the morning and a bird or bloom catches my eye, I'll take a picture with the iPhone on my hip. At home, I'll always grab my camera.
For my online classes or downloading photos, my laptop rocks!
I'll buy a new iPhone 2 or 3 years down the road or when my old iPhone can't get the latest IOS updates.

Of course you can. There is no warranty on the outcome however.
In one scenario, she may miss you. In another, she may know how to reload!

Or maybe she has a backup pistol!

Still learning but depending on the time available, I use Aperture priority and set the ISO to 100 to start. I'll pick my Av setting, and flip my LCD around to "chimp". I mostly use the top LCD and viewfinder to check the shutter. If it's too slow for handheld, I'll raise the ISO. I really like my viewfinder for taking the shot and then chimp to check. If lighting's tricky I'll bracket by half stops. I really enjoy using a button press and rolling the Main Dial to quickly change ISO, aperture, focus etc.

Right now I have a 34 inch man-made material (???) shoulder bag for my 80D and another smaller shoulder bag for old Rebel XT - still works great but I only keep it because I'd get nothing for it. I have numerous backpacks from my IT days so I'm considering buying a padded camera inserts for my favorite backpack or using the insert with one of my ammo bags.
In this area of the west, thieving grab and gos are MUCH more likely to go after stuff in an ammo bag than in a backpack or even a camera bag with Hasselblad emblazoned in gold lettering. So I'm thinking I won't use the ammo bags for anything other than firearms and ammo for the range.

Yes I read about the new iPhones but didn't stream the event. Strange, but since retiring, the only Apple devices we have are my iPhone 7 Plus and a 4 year old iPad. There's so much competition for laptops and heavy duty workstations, a large chunk of the population uses other devices with a Windows OS. But nearly everybody has and loves an iPhone. I'm planning to keep mine for a couple years at least, but I know without comparing, researching, don't remotely care about the phone camera, but my next phone will be another iPhone.
If you look at the numbers, Apple sells more phones than all their other products combined. I sure don't have the knowledge to know if that's a good thing or bad, but I guess even with the Steve Jobs audio inspiration, the company still has to keep investors happy.
Just saw the iPhone X on twitter - pretty cool and zoomy but I'm saving my coins for a better lens.

Raingear and appropriate rain protection for camera and lenses. We do occasionally get rain in the mountains and high desert. Hope you can catch the Balloon Fiesta in Albuquerque during your trip. It's a photographer's nirvana, especially the balloon glows before launch.

Your Canon 80D has a feature called 'Safety Shift' under the Custom Function Menu that will do what you are wanting to do.
Harold - that deserves a double thank you!
Exactly what I was looking for.
