Yep there is something aesthetically pleasing about the files from the earlier Canon Rebel series. My 700D is a good unit but I have found that the 1000D just produced really nice images with a little grain and it always printed well on Pearl or Matt finish papers.

+1

I also find the noise from my 1100D more tolerable than my 80D.

I can see the Canon marketing crew scratching their heads over that. What ? They want more grainy noise now!! And just when they thought they had it right with noise free sensors.

Hehe, ya I bet! I was pretty disappointed in the 80D's low light ability when I got it. IQ is good when the light is good but when the light is low it really falls apart. Hence my interest in a 6D....or 5d mkiii haven't decided yet

That is surprising.  I always found my 60D to be pretty good at 6400 ISO at the max.  Beyond that it falls off but coming from older cameras I was blown away.  Now I have a 6D2 and it is usable up to a bit over 8000 ISO in my opinion.
