Just returned from the Lake District which was the first serious outing for my 80D. I'm certainly well chuffed! Did a walk round Derwent Water starting in less than ideal conditions, but I got some cracking shots!!!! Very pleased, and the 18-135 USM is a peach!

I have the predecessor - the TZ70 - I think it is an excellent general purpose travel cam. It has aperture, shutter and program modes, together with full manual and 'Intelligent' Auto (never used this). Just bear in mind that min f number is 3.3 wide, 6.4 tele so the depth of field is not...

Thanks all for this really useful thread! Currently have a 550D with 18-55 and 55-250, plus a Tamron 18-270 as a travel lens. About to take the plunge and buy an 80D with kit 18-135 USM, plus a 430EX flash (I want to eventually do more portraist - I'll be getting a 50mm 1.8 for this once I...
