Thanks, R2. I always enjoy (and respect) reading your comments. But what sorts of image improvements might I expect if I were to upgrade bodies? I'm currently OK with my T2i's fps rate, and 18 mpxls.

And then how far up the "upgrade" line must I go to see a difference, and what will the differences be? Remember, it's the finished product that I care about....a lot more than the physical process of getting there. I guess I'm trying to talk myself into NOT upgrading bodies, yet by still using a T2i it's obvious such an upgrade has been a while.

I agree with R2.. your lens lineup is quite sufficient, and a newer body would add considerably better AF, DR, improvements to the back screen (to include touchscreen), and improvements with the Digic sensor processing (not to mention a much more modern sensor).

The T2i is no slouch though. It was made beyond what its numbers would otherwise suggest. But, cameras like the SL2, T7i, 77D, 80D will offer some rather substantial upgrades to the T2i.
