Re: Go for the 800d or 77d

Reading between the lines I understand we are probably talking about different image qualities. I am coming from desperately shooting at 800 ISO with the 55-250 4.0/5.6 IS and hoping to get some entertaining material. I don't mind some noise and this can often be improved in post processing. So I am coming from quiet a dark place (literally)

Shooting with the 50mm 1.8 makes almost acceptable images indoors, which is why I hope the 77D with its 24MP and higher ISO will make a good crop panel image. And then still a little hope that the 55-250 will also be usable in some situations indoors.

I can see if I can dig up some examples. Fast glass would be great - the 85mm is very tempting as a good step up on a budget for sports photography.

Back to the G80/85 again. I did try the viewfinder but it felt awkward.... then trying the 77D it felt great  I am trying so hard to like smaller cameras too like the m5 or A6300 but they are just not so ergonomic I feel - have become comfortable with "truck size"  Also the text is really small on the LCD (yes, well over 40!)  I now have to consider such aspects too .

Again, thanks for your time !
