Hello everyone, i have been thinking to upgrade my camera as i have outgrown it. I have a canon t6 or 1300d with a sigma 17-70 2.8-4 plus 50mm 1.8. I have taken a lot of photos and i think i can continue to something more serious and reliable as i plan to travel a lot this year. My photos are mostly travel and landscapes and long expos. Here you can see some of my photos.

I was thinking of these alternatives:

1) New 80d with my current lenses plus adding the 10-18 stm

No

2) New Sony a7 (i or ii) plus buying rokinon 24mm 2.8

No

3) Used 5d ii or iii but i dont know which lens is good for travelling here (16-35 is too expensive)

No

4) Just buy the 10-18 and stick with my current setup and spend the money on more travelling.

Yes

My budget is 1k to 1.2k euros. Any suggestion is welcomed.

Invest that money into traveling to somewhere you've never been and use your current gear to create a new experience.

For everyone that will ask me what im missing right now: Well i dont miss neither faster fps or touch screen - tilt screen or any features like that. The only thing i would like is to upgrade my image quality while having more features would be nice..

Thanks for every upcoming answers.

Ask yourself, "Is upgrading your current gear going to make you a better photographer? Is anyone going to notice any changes in my image quality by buying a new camera? The upgrade to the 10-18 will certainly allow you to create more compelling images and why I'd go that route.
