Is T6s Good for BIF?

I wanted to thank those who responded and helped me with my decision.

There were a lot of things I liked about the 80D over the T6s, but size in my small hand, weight, and cost were the main factors in my decision.

It should be a great upgrade to my T1i.

I found an international model body only for $668 US on Amazon.

Congratulations! I'm sure you will be delighted by your new T6s/760D.

I believe the T6s is a sleeper. If one looks past its Rebel-level operations/ergonomics, the T6s is fully capable of producing beautiful and detailed images from its 24MP sensor and DIGIC 6 processor. The T6s is much closer to the 80D in functionality than its simplified sister T6i.

I found a new US/Canada T6s body for CA$680. However, all prices are up by now.

Then I bought a used 15-85 for $392 on the marketplace.

Ah, one of my favorite EF-S zoom lenses. That is a very good price. Whenever f/3.5-5.6 is not a limiting factor, the 15-85 is crazy sharp from my experience.

I watched a lot of Youtube videos. One bit of advice on one of them stuck with me, "Buy the cheapest camera that has all the features you need, and spend the rest on lenses." I've wanted the 15-85 for some time and it's lighter with a better range for my style to carry around than the 17-55/2.8.

Wise advice, indeed.

Thanks again to all and happy shooting in 2017!

I enjoy your Oakland images (posted in another thread) taken with SL1 and 15-85.

Thanks, Kaso, for your kind reply and comments. I've always wanted to try the SL1. Those shots were with the T1i/500D. About 6 years before I upgraded bodies. Here's a quick shot from the Baylands today with the T6s and the 15-85.
