    Default I need a new DSLR camera body - help

    I'm looking for a camera body under $750. I have Canon lenses already.
    I'm completely out of date on camera technology. My typical photos are long exposures, landscape, sports (70-200mm F4), and more recently some portraits (50mm F1.4).

    I'm currently borrowing my brother's T3i. It seems fine to me. I like how simple the interface is and the noise at his ISOs has sure improved over the years.
    On Amazon, I'm looking at the T7 and T7i.

    Anything else I should be looking at?

    If you need to stay within the Canon system to use existing lenses, then the best "T" camera you can get if you're buying new would be your best bet. The T7i would be almost exactly in your price range ($739) and is decent. You could look at a 77d for less than $100 more, they are essentially the exact same camera other than a top LCD and slightly better external controls on the 77d - up to you how important that is.

    Both those lenses are full-frame as well, I am not sure if that is something that interests you but you can get a used 6D for around your budget.

    For landscape and long exposures, going full frame is certainly attractive. For sports though Canon's entry-level AF is a disaster until you get into the high end bodies, and I don't know how demanding your requirements are. If a T3i is working for you now though, then no matter what you buy is going to feel like an improvement. Do you even need a new camera? Can you regularly borrow your brother's camera or just buy that one off him for next to nothing? A used T3i is only about $200.
