For the life of me I don't understand why anyone would pick SL2 when T7i is only $200 more (in the USA). Now it may be larger $$$ difference in other countries but in the US the difference is only $200.

I did a couple of videos on youtube summarizing the difference, for example

but usually get a lot of grief in comments, mostly from owners of SL2. The truth is many of them did not even consider T7i.

I've shot surfing with T7i alongside my Sony A9, and got lots of great results

Yesterday I shot skaters at a local skatepark and T7i did amazingly for $799 camera in terms of AF.   I shot against the sun and had to lift shadows all the way up, and, while there was noise in the shadows, it was better than on many previous Canon cameras, this latest generation of 24MP sensors with Digic 7 processor, is pretty good.  I mean it is not Nikon good, but it is quite useable.   Here are couple of photos
