Re: Go for the 800d or 77d

Thanks! Interesting to hear that the G80/85 is not quiet as good in AF terms for sports. Had missed that.

Looking at my images of sports they are in the range of 70 to 130 and occasionally upto 200mm. Don't dare using the full 250mm due to softness at the ends apparently.  I do already own a nifty fifty.

Clear there is no doubt in your mind that the 77D/800D is the one to go for. It is stretching my budget, so I was going to opt out of the kit lens, and hope to reuse the existing lenses. To be honest I barely ever use the kit lens and prefer the EF 50 f1.8 II or the EF 55-250 IS.

Will these lenses be ok to use with the 77D ?

The only reason I have looked at the Panasonic model is for a slightly more compact package and for the 4K mode (images) 30fps. Must be great for picking the perfect shot for sports. However, if it is out of focus it is no good ;-).  I do prefer the Canon ergonomics with my large hands.

Really appreciate the feedback!
