Don't Buy the Canon EOS 77D + 18-135 IS USM Kit (At Least Right Now – Get the 80D Kit Instead)

If you're considering picking up what can aptly be described as Canon's beefed-up Rebel with the versatile EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens, there's an important piece of information that you should know before adding the EOS 77D kit to your cart – the higher-end EOS 80D kit with the exact same lens is the same price with its current $300.00 instant rebate in effect.

Just for good measure, here are a few points of comparison:
