Canon 80D or 200D?

D-K · 2019-01-14 16:03:09

Looking to buy my first DSLR and trying to decide whether to go for the Canon 80D or 200D. I will mainly be using it to take photos, not that much video. 200D is far cheaper than the 80D but would I be better in paying that bit extra for the 80D if anyone has any thoughts? Thanks

Compact vs large body, affordable vs enthusiast. Kinda a weird question to ask, like should I buy a pickup truck or a vespa.

If you're going to be travelling then the 200D has the edge. If you want action shots the higher burst rate of the 80 is a big appeal. Arguably spend the 80D budget on a 200D + better glass.
