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

I’ve been having a look at the 80d in more details. It seems to have many additional useful features for my use case. For example, i discovered it has a silent shutter option, which YouTube shows is not silent, but is certainly a lot quieter!  Recently a small bird was a bit off put by my shutter sound, that’s useful. Although i do note it mainly for stationary subjects as its only 4 FPS.

Bigger VF, manual controls, more FPS, bigger battery, silent shutter, AFMA capability, autofocus customisation settings, min shutter speed. Although maybe its not much of An upgrade and If i want to shoot BiF routinely i should bite the bullet and get a used 7dii.  It’s just a lot of money for a camera so old that will Almost certainly never be replaced on the same mount in the future.
