80D would be too heavy. Long hiking trips. T1i is almost too heavy already.

If i put shadows to 100 in Lightroom, how many stips is that?

Hmm, hard to say for sure, but a quick check on a landscape shot shows +0.4 steps on the Exposure slider in ACR gives about the same boost to the shadows as +100 on the Shadows slider, so that's not a lot really.

Lenses:

Ef-s 10-18

Ef 50f1.8

Sigma 100mm f2.8 macro

Old ef-s 55-250and 18-55

Not quite enough to lock me down to one platform.

True, and full frame is going to be too heavy and expensive with equivalent lenses.

I can't advise about options outside of Canon, but if you were to stay with the brand I'd look for a kit with the latest 18-55 and 55-250. Those and the 10-18 gives you a great focal length range and performance for a low price. If you're not in a hurry it might be worth waiting to see if the SL2 rumours come true.

I probably shouldn't wait for more rumours! I've been waiting since the ti2!

What do you think about this?

It sure doesn't make the 80D (I'm hoping the t7i will be similar) look that much better than the ti1.  In fact, it shows the ti1 outperforming on dynamic range at some ISO settings!
