Adding 80d to the stable...

I have a t3i and 60d, which I use fairly evenly. OK m pretty happy with the results I get other than in lackluster lighting which forces me to use a flash. Have nothing against using a flash, I'm just laying the groundwork. Does the 80d do a good HDR for stills such as for landscape work? What am I gaining weight n the still department real life? $1100 is a lot if the results aren't truly measurable. I'd like to hear from people.

Frodge, the 80D is a very capable camera, with some sensor improvements, but still a crop. For landscapes a used 5DII or 6D (or even better a 5DIII for a capable all rounder) in my opinion would fit the bill better.

I always play the mindgame of replacing my 60D with the latest crop. My 60D is my travel camera (with the 8-16 and the 18-200 tagging along) and my landscape camera (because I am on trips with it when I see landscapes). The high ISO performance and the better focus system of the newer 70D/80D have not proven to be tempting enough.

EDIT: Looking at your lens complement, I understand that going FF may be a bit expensive.

I agree with that..^^
I have a 60D also, I upgraded to the 6D for portrait work.. I only had my hands on the 80 in Costco but I think you would be much happier buying a used 5D2 for landscape stuff..
The 6D is good for portrait work and low light conditions. Thats the only reason I own it.. My 60 is for faster moving objects and wildlife now..

Thanks guys. I still really like the 60d. I think it's a fine camera in its own right. Maybe I'll hold off for a bit. I'm sure I'm just having gear list at this point. On another note, I've always been happy with the crop factor. Ff is not really in my budget or wants right now.

The remedy for gear lust is the decision to buy the EF 24-70 MkII...

It is expensive enough that you will not succumb to instant gratification, so you will not spend right away.

It is good enough to displace the desire to buy any other lenses in the range (unless you are into astro). So you don't get tempted.

If YOU ARE into astro, buy a 14 mm f2.8 prime!... It's cheap enough...

So, set your goals on the EF 24-70 MkII and start saving!...

Moving to ff is expensive
Crop can do great landscape
The 80d has good dynamic range which is useful for landscape

I don't do much landscape photography, but isn't the preferred method to bracket exposures in RAW? If so, I don't see how the 80D would improve results over those from the 60D.

That aside, I think that the 80D is a must buy if you do any video.

Bracketing is a way to improve dynamic range but with a cost, you need a tripod and no wind etc
If you can have better dr in camera it is useful for landscape and other cases

The various descriptions of "Gear Acquisition Syndrome" or GAS I'm reading do make me chuckle. I'm certainly not immune, but I have discovered another kind of protective barrier against GAS (aside from cash limits): When you already have a number of DSLRs, you already have a good breadth and depth in lenses, and so now the new camera is just one more in the stable, a better thing, but quite alike many other similar things ...

On this basis really unique things like lighting modifiers have become irresitably attractive -- such as the new Rogue white hexagonal grid insert. Or the new flash blaster. And so on. Stuff with novel new use, or never seen before.

Still! Wow, the 80D is an awesome camera, ultra late-modern, better at everything!

The 80d purportedly has the best detail to pushed shadow ratio of any crop currently due to the new sensor design. That provides more flexibility in reigning in the DR range you may find on a given landscape shot with a single shot.
