Autofocus most likely limitations, my camera or lens? (Or me!)

Re: Autofocus most likely limitations, my camera or lens? (Or me!)

It has struck me that I’ve never plugged either my DSLR or lens in to anything for a firmware update. I was just reading about the Tamron firmware updates.  I’m not even sure  my lens doesn’t require an AFMA adjustment (which my body doesn’t have), but it seems OK for stationary subjects.

I’m reluctant to get a Canon DSLR body given they are stopping production or development now. However, an 80d, 90d, should work well for at least another few years before they break.

My T7i has scene modes and all sorts of beginner items on it, none of which I’ve ever used, nor ever will. The 7dii is just a bit too expensive for its age I feel, can’t justify 800pounds used. Not sure how to proceed! 80d is looking most likely.

It would be great to have som experience of someone who moved from a t7i or 77d to an 80d regarding autofocus performance?

I briefly considered selling up for a Fuji 100-400, but i don’t feel the out of focus parts on images look aesthetically pleasing on that lens for my taste.
