Is there a better DSLR priced around 70-72k than Canon's 80D. Nikon is not an option because...magiclantern!
Little background that may help
I have a Canon 550D for the past 6-7 years and its served me well. Recently I ordered a 10-18 and 50mm lens. So right now there are 3 decent lenses (including the 18-55 kit lens) and I'm happy with 550D except that it doesn't have a flip screen.
Vlogging is not possible with 550D hence the need for a new DSLR. I have spent the past few weeks looking at various other alternatives (including Canon's M50) but something or the other falls short somewhere.
My requirements
1. Flip screen that I can use for video-shooting self
2. Compatible with my existing lenses (I know even mirrorless cameras have an adapter where I can use old DSLR lenses but not sure if it affect the performance or outcome in any way)
3. Continuous Auto-focus while on Video (and a fast one at that)
4. Microphone, when mounted shouldn't interfere with flipscreen in any way (most mirrorless camera flipscreens interfere with the microphone)
5. Weather-proof (I wonder whether the lenses are already weather proof though, if not then does it make sense to have a weather proof DSLR?)
6. Good battery life (I guess this this is where 77D loses the race including few other areas)
7. Don't want to be guinea pig (a proven DSLR is better than a new product that may have hidden surprises)
My research says 80D makes most sense because I'll also be able to use existing lenses effectively and shoot some cool videos given I have a wide angle & prime lens already.
Looking forward to your thoughts!

I was expecting folks to confuse me further. Many thanks though, I was really confused.
