Canon 800d/ t7i vs 7d (first model)

Hi guys,

I happened to discover (shockingly!) that the nice little 800d has a 45pt AF system that has a wider coverage than my 7d's 19 pt AF! Not to mention, with the newer sensor, the dynamic range is very much improved as well.

Hence, I'm thinking of upgrading my camera for the above reasons. Has anyone got real life experience from using both cameras? Especially interested in the AF performance and camera operation (any lag from switching between playback and shooting modes, accessing menu, etc.?)

I do some freelance work covering events and product photography so it'll be nice to know that a camera is reliable enough.

Are there any downsides to switching from 7d to 800d besides the obvious like ergonomics, custom modes, fps, single sd card, which I can cope with tbh. It'll be super to get some inputs from you guys!!

Cheers.
