took only T7i (800D) on vacation
3

My wife took me on a short getaway to Mexico for my birthday. This time I decided to take just one camera - Canon T7i and just budget lenses, to see if it works out. I took T7i and 18-135STM, Sigma 17-50, 10-18STM and 50STM, as the only lenses.

Things I liked:

That EV-3 AF system that came from 80D is really good in terms of focusing in low light. It sees in a very dark.

Camera is very small yet comfortable to hand hold - there is space to grab the handle.  Unlike SL1 for example.

Things I disliked:

OVF vs EVF. Shooting photos on the beach midday, I have no idea if I got the shot, or I need to reshoot, since you can't really see much on display due to sun, and you don't have EVF. Having EVF is so much better as you can instantly see what you did wrong and make adjustments, or even have preview of your shot. Also shooting video midday, having EVF surely helps as well. This T7i I think is the last DSLR I will ever buy.
