I whole-heartedly endorse the T7i, but I would be cautious with the 18-300, even if you can validate the compatibility. Know that any all-in-one lens like that is going to be a compromise. Chances are it will fall down - maybe significantly - at the pixel-peeping level, even if the prints at 4x6 or web sized images look good.

On the plus side, they are convenient and easy to use. They don't take up too much space, and aren't as intimidating as some of the alternatives.

Still, he would definitely get better image quality by splitting the range into two lenses if he can. (e.g. 18-55 and 55-250 STM's, or even a 70-300 IS).

Thanks for the response.

He eventually settled on the 80D with two lens, I think  the two you suggested.
