Thank you so much for taking the time to reply and help! I appreciate it more than you know! I foresee myself doing a lot more photography down the road and potentially having it be a big part of my career, so I would rather invest in a nicer mid level camera now than drop a chunk of change on a camera I'm only going to feel like needs an upgrade after a year or so. After reading everyone's responses and some consideration, I'm 99.9% sure I'm going to go with the EOS 80D. A good friend of mine also has a Canon so we will be able to exchange lenses and such. Now the only challenge is finding the best deal

Thank you for the advice! My good friend has a Canon so I'm pretty sure that's the one I'm going to go with

Thanks for the reply! I'll keep that in mind!

.I have a standard run of the mill digital camera right now and I've made it work, but I'm looking for a huge upgrade so I can delve deeper into my passion .Street and Landscapes are the two I have to say most interest me. Portraits comes in a very close third .I will be going today to test them out in person. I feel like either way I could get used to the button layout, but I'm more concerned with choosing the overall better camera. So far I've had a lot of people say Canon EOS 80D, mainly because they prefer Canon over Nikon .No set budget after the camera purchase. I am however hopeful that I can find a bundle including camera, lenses, case, etc. on Black Friday with a discount. Fingers crossed .I would prefer to buy it new

Thank you for taking the time to reply and the tips!
