Thank you everyone for the replies, and thank you for the warm welcome.

Yeah I will probably just wait for another sale on the T7i. Really sad I missed the bundled deal with the printer for $500 for black friday. I suppose there won't be another until...next black friday lol.

I had not thought about getting the SL2 until someone mentioned it. Doing a quick search, looks like its very similar but smaller and ligheter version of the T7i. Aside from the significantly less AF, is there anything else that would be a game changer? If not, maybe I should focus on finding a good SL2 deal and spending the $200 difference on a better lens or flash.

SL2 and a flash would be a great rig.

My wife hates my 80D cuz its big and heavy for her and takes up too much space on the coffee table... She doesn't mind the 1100D though.
