Thanks for the replies!

 

Obican: Perhaps I should give the Fuji x-a20 a look? I skipped over it because it's not available at B&H or Adorama right now. A friend just sold his 5d and L lenses for a mirrorless Fuji. Shocked me, bu he loves it. I should see which model he got. I like retro easy to get to controls for sure. Review wise the 6300 appears to have a performance edge on the a10.

 

thxbb12: I can't seem to sell myself on the 4:3 systems. It may be all I need to carry around? The size and weight differences are definitely in the lenses. You'll surely stick out less with it. I do have a soft spot for Oly: my first real camera was an OM-2n.

      edit: I'll add that when by buddy takes out his Oly when we're at the pub nobody takes notice. 

 

toni-a: The reason I got the rebel originally is because I was tired of carrying around my heavier slr's. The 80D is a half pound heavier than the rebel. It's quite a bit bigger too. I've lugged around my 1d before....yikes that's a boat anchor. The T6I is still a consideration. As mentioned, I do have glass for it.

 

I got about a month before my next trip to sort it out.... decisions.

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.
