thats only thing i do not like on my sl1, only one af point i can trust, all others are a great chance that they will fail focus, only center one is precise and always, and i mean always, focus properly

and this will be only reason i would change my camera, beside mirror vibration, which maybe has strong feel because of small weight, but if i set to silent it's much better

It does appear to have a silent shutter option which I find very useful having enjoyed using it on the 6D . The 9 point AF will make me look hard at the T7i and 77D before making a final decision.

The 9 point diamond array is the same width as the 80D point array

Since I shoot 95% of my shots with the center point and recompose as necessary, this may not be an issue regarding the SL2 if it acquires focus quickly. The very capable live view it seems to have can make up for some of the 9 point system's weak spots in other areas. I wish they had included focus peaking but Canon seems to dole out that option sparingly.
