800d upgrade

I have an 800d and shoot mountain biking. Use it more for video but want a second body. Would a 80d be good or be much better. Im still stuck in the 1d mk3 days and the newer cameras take more learning but also cant fault them as i finally got my 800d set up and its working great

There are a lot of similarities between the 800D and the 80D. The 800D has a lot of 80D technology as the 800D was released after the 80D - but the 80D does have a slightly higher FPS, bigger body and has a higher shutter speed of 1/8000. The 80D would be a "modest" improvement, plus it claims weather sealing, whilst the 800D does not.

I am not much of an action shooter but I perhaps you would find a used 7D mkII to be "much better" than either 800D/80D with 10FPS and excellent sealing as a stills camera. And yes the 800D would still remaim great for video as a second camera.

Personally I think that the current 800D/77D/80D are great kit overall with what they can do and what they offer for the prices.

I think if you have mastered the 800D you won't have much issue with the 80D and probably some learning with the 7D mkII.

thanks, ill look into a 7d mkii
