Upgarde EOS T5i

[manl4747]

I currently own a Canon Rebel EOS T5i. I would like to upgrade. I primarily use a Tamron SP24-70 mm f/28 lens. 

Here is what I am looking for:

I tend to blow up pictures into very large prints so I need something more pixels. 

I still like the autofocus and the dial on my T5i and would like to have something similar. 

Wifi capability

Although I don't typically do videos I still want video capability

I also want to make sure my lens will transfer over to my new camera. 

Would like a lighter weight of a camera.

You didn't give a lot of info, but assuming you are happy wit everything about your T5i, and just want more megapixels, a reasonably priced upgrade would be the EOS 77. B

You will be getting 24megapixels vs 18MP.

How large is very large to you?

30x24 or a little bigger is the size I print pictures.

I appreciate your recommendation. Will my current lenses fit into body if EOS 77?

I actually have been looking at canon 80D.

80D is a good camera.

Compare the features of any camera you are considering against each other and your T5i and decide what you need, what you don’t need and the price difference.

Any lenses that fit your T5i will work on the EOS77 or the 80D.

"80D is a good camera."

The 90D is better and what you should get. You have a beginner camera so a really nice upgrade is to a more pro oriented camera like the 90D.

"I primarily use a Tamron SP24-70 mm f/28 lens."

A good lens but not a great lens. A better lens for what you said you like to do might be the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Lens for Canon. It is a great lens! It is a reason alone to buy a 90D.

——————————


DSLR cameras do not come much lighter than the T5i. If you want light, then look at the T7i.

The best mid range camera is the 90D, which has a 220000 pixel metering sensor. Compare that to the 5D4 and 7D2 with 150000 pixels.

IMHO, I would much prefer the Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM Lens over the Tamron for what you are wanting to do. On a Rebel the Tammy just doesn't work as well as either of the two lenses I suggest.

 Actually I would rather see you get one of these lenses than a new camera.

This is not an upgrade from the Tamron 24-70mm f2.8.  So, forget that, it is more of a even trade if IQ was your goal. And, if weight is, it is also pretty close.

I'm just going to set this down and walk away from it.

"... it is more of a even trade if IQ was your goal..."

Short sighted!   It most certainly is an upgrade with more usable and favorable FL is your goal.

The EOS 1DX and 1D Mk IV both look amazing but might require some with a little more expertise on operations. I still use the dial on my T5i when deciding the picture I want to take and then make adjustments on my image in photoshop. 

What is your thoughts?
