Looking for an upgrade from 77d. Any recommendations?

Hey guys, I currently have the Canon 77d. I’m looking to upgrade and wondering if maybe the R7 is the way to go. I looked at the R10 and realized that most of the specifications are almost the same which led me to r7.

another thought that I had is that maybe I should just buy a better lens for my current camera. Spend the money on that one invest in it and get better image quality. Any recommendations?

I generally don’t take pictures of wildlife I live in New York City, so I take pictures of friends and family with the occasional landscape

Used lenses are good and a safe bet... depending on who you buy them from.  It's a roll of the dice to buy from a private party.  That's why I recommend a camera store, preferably one with a good reputation.  That's also why I suggest bringing your camera so you can test it out in the store.  By "testing it out" I don't mean take a shot or two... take a few dozen.  Check various focus points.  Check to see if all of the buttons on the side work correctly (usually manual/auto focus), check the aperture settings.  Look at the glass to make sure there are no scratches or dust inside the lens.  The camera shop I go to checks all of this stuff first.  Most do, but if you are unsure if your local one does, it doesn't hurt to check.  

You mention NYC.  Are you close to B&H Photo & Video?  Those guys are awesome to deal with!

Your decision is really vey easy as any R series camera will be a significant upgrade from a 77D. Get it with new RF lenses, too.
