This Camera is Loaded
I agonised over this camera, the 80D, or the 7D MK II, and this one serves my purposes perfectly. If you're familiar with Canon it should be easy to learn the 77D, and if not, just buy a dedicated book on it online, not expensive. I've been using a Canon 300mm f2.8L IS, Canon 100mm f2.8L IS Macro, 10-18mm, 40mm 2.8, 70-300mm IS II, 55-250mm IS STM, and they all work great on this camera. Fast focusing, and easy operation. The articulating touch screen monitor is fantastic, and video is a pleasure with this camera; transitions from one subject to another, such as a hockey game, or just kids dancing in the livingroom are smooth and hardly noticeable; just as good as you'll see on your TV with professional equipment. Far better than other brands I've used that don't live up to the manufacturer's claims, such as Sony, Panasonic, and Olympus. The video is outstanding on this camera, ideal for sports, wildlife, kids playing, or anything really. Another feature of this camera that is amazing for this price point is 6fps with a 27 frame RAW buffer, and unlimited jpeg continuous shooting. I do 90% wildlife and nature, and when I had a camera with 10fps, I set it at 5fps, because I shoot RAW exclusively, and the buffer filled quickly, and I missed much of the action, so the 6fps on this camera with the large buffer is perfect for what I do. This is my hobby, so I don't need a more robust body like the 80D and 7D MK II with weather and dust sealing. The 80D is $300 more than this camera, enough to buy the Canon 10-18mm; and the 7D MK II is $1000 more, enough to buy the Canon 100mm f2.8L IS Macro. First decide what your requirements are; this one meets mine and is within my budget.
