I see that there are many advances in the T7i but one thing it lacks is back button focus which I've come to like.

Are you sure about that? I would be extremely surprised. You can get the manual on line.

OK, I just found a number of online reviews that state that you can't do BBAF with the T7i. It's unfortunate that they are wrong (and are misleading people). It's also unfortunate that so many reviewers nowadays just parrot much of what other sites say, instead of doing their own background work.

StanNH is correct in stating that the T7i does not have a dedicated AF-ON button, but all of the recent Rebels can re-assign the ( * ) button to perform BBAF. In fact I do that on my M5 as well. It works a treat!

Thanks for clearing that up. I'm surprised that so many sites had the same misinformation. That's why I come here for the facts. So, it seems that the basic difference between the T7i and the 77D is the same as the T6i and T6s. That makes better sense.
