What other lenses do you own ?

For me micro AF adjustment is a must,that's why I was talking about 80D, otherwise the rebel is an excellent camera, I own one and can assure it is more than great, I even tested it, in the field versus fuji Xti and it was a clear winner (although comparison was unfair because of kit lens on fuji versus 15-85 on the rebel) aside absence of micro AF adjustment, absolutely no complaints about my rebel. and don't underestimate canon 18-135 USM was already great, micro USM autofocus should be even better, on the side of glass quality it's a clear winner with much lower price, you will barely need 55-250 and I suggest you skip it.

 

Hi Toni, I have fast glass from 24-70L through a 300/2.8 L. Unfortunately my uw zoom vanished with my rebel kit Depending where I'm going I'll bring this gear with me. But I'm really looking for compact easy to carry around camera, but with the ability to get a quality shot when needed. In that aspect it's better to have the 55-250 in my backpack for when I need a longer lens than not having a larger zoom at all. Also, if you look at the multi lens kit I was referring to, they're pretty much giving you the lens.

 

I'm still leaning towards a mirrorless for the application I'm looking for. Even the mtf is catching my attention. My friend I mentioned above takes great street photography pics with his. I think part of it is it being so inconspicuous. People think it's a P&S. He has a couple of ultra fast lenses too.
