Re: SL2: A great addition to any Canon kit

I wouldn't rule out the 77D; it's $100 more, but, it's the same size and weight as the T7i, but you have that extra dial, eye sensor, and LCD readout. Extra dials aren't small potatoes if you're a P/Tv/Av/M user, and when I had my 5DIII, that LCD readout was NICE. You kinda get used to it, if only to check your battery level on a whim if you're doing any serious shooting.

Also, I don't know your budget, but if you're somewhat OCD about IQ, send in your 77D and lenses for calibration; the 77D doesn't have AFMA, but CPS can do it for a small fee. It's worth it if you do any portraiture or shallow DOF work.

Same is true if you push the button on the SL1 or T7i, none have AFMA, but just send it in with your lenses to CPS and pay their fee for calibration.
