I am a photograph enthusiast (obvious, I'm writing in DP forums) that has not a lot of free time to take pictures due to job. I've been enjoying my old 450D for almost 8 years (around 50,000 shots) and I think the time to retire it has arrived.

Many of you will tell that 12MP are more than enough to take pictures. I probably agree. But comparing latest models of cameras with my own's quality there's a big gap. I frequently cut and stabilize pictures loosing some of those pixels... and I hate when I wanna print a A3 photo and the software tells me the quality could be better.

I've used it (most of those 8 years) with a Canon 18-200IS as walk-around lens. I'm not a professional to spend a lot of money in lenses nor have the time when I am in a trip taking photos to change lenses. I'd like but, being sincere, I can't.

Now, considering that upgrading is a must, what would you do? Would you buy the 750/760D or would you wait for a new model?

I cant see the T6 and T6s being replaced this year. All cameras are on delayed schedules with the shrinking. Sera market. Just like nikon's D300 was announced 2 years ago.

Canon usually announces new models by the beginning of the year.

No they don't. They announce when they are ready..

Do you think there will be a new sister in the family in the upcoming months? Are there any rumours of new models?

I don't even want to think in another brand... My 18-200 was an expensive lens and I wouldn't like to sell it. Anyway, if you want to recommend me about another brand, I will be grateful.

Thank you for the advices and sorry for my poor English.
