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

LOL. A few more months won't matter.

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!

That's just one measurement (which won't matter if you're only pushing your shadows half a step), the difference in image quality is much more than that. I can't compare the 500D with the 80D, but in coming from the 450D to the 60D and now the 7D II, it's very clear how much more I can do with the raw files from one to the next, how much closer I can crop, and how much better the images look. DXO numbers don't tell you how your real world images will actually look.

But if you're stuck on having the biggest DR in the bunch, then sure, get a Sony sensor in the camera you like the most and live happily ever after.
