Canon never going to include these features into rebel unless they discontinue xxd series.PeterT said:kphoto99 said:By not including AFMA Canon has simply placed this camera as a Rebel without calling it a Rebel.
Yes, I totally agree.
I am very disappointed. I hoped that one of the reasons why they promoted its name from Rebel to xxD was the the inclusion of AFMA. All other features are just right for me, but no AFMA is a show stopper. While the size and weight (and partly the price) of 80D is another show stopper.
So I found no reason to upgrade and I a keep taking pictures with my old 450D and considering jumping into the m43 system.
If you replace 77Ds pentamirror with pentaprism, add bigger and better sealed body, bigger battery and AFMA you get camera that is nearly identical to 80D.
So I understand your statement as "Canon will never call successor to 80D - a Rebel". Whether it will be called Canon EOS 90D or Canon EOS Rebel 90D is not relevant. What is relevant is when will price of 80D drop from 1099€ body-only to 1099€ with a 18-135 STM? Since 77D is priced so close to 80D probably not soon.
