Re: ti1 upgrade to t7i/77D - big difference?

The 15MP sensor in the 500D (and 50D) was not a highlight in Canon's history and only lasted one generation. You will see a significant improvement with the current models.

How far do you push your shadows? If you habitually push 3 or more steps then get a Sony sensor, but up to 2 is absolutely fine even with the 18MP sensors in the generation after your 500d.

Don't forget that detail is not only about the sensor, it depends a lot on AF accuracy, so the autofocus microadjustment of the 80D (plus all the other action and raw-shooting advantages of that line) is worth considering.

Which lenses do you have?
