upgrade from a 60D to an 80D?

[BlairW]

I own a 60D my only DSLR, I’m thinking about buying an 80D. my 60D would be a backup then. Is a 80D worth the upgrade? thanks, Blair

Brand N bakes in two things into their RAW files that Canon didn't in the past. Both of them impact Astrophotographers. One of them is the Black Point and the other is a median like noise reduction filter.

These two things baked into the RAW file were the most significant reason why Brand N scored better in the testing companies DR tests.

Google: Brand N* Mode 3 work around

* when Googling replace 'Brand N' with the appropriate company name

And a sensor patent (A/D) from December last year. But still I haven't found any proof that 80D has only on-chip.
