I have had a look and the variety in Canon dslr’s is huge these days and much more confusing than the Xd, XXd, XXXd models I was used to
Yes, indeed.
As far as I know two-digit bodies still are built tougher / better weather sealed.
Not sure if this is important to you.
Ideally you would try to get a chance to put various of these in your hands and see which one does "feel right" (this would be much more important to me than a lot of other factors).Can I check if people would recommend an older XXd body (with live mode and filming) or a 77d/750d.
..do you need live mode and filming?
Can I also ask what zoom lens people would suit my needs
..apart from the ones you already have?
What range would you like to cover?
I have a budget of £750ish
..for a body, or for a body and a lens?

I own a Canon 30d (Canon EF-S 17-85mm f/4-5.6 IS USM & EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens) which I bought some 10-11years ago predominantly for university (architecture). I very much enjoyed using it and although I predominantly shot in basic manual/auto modes was able to get the shot I wanted with post in photoshop as and when needed (correct perspective/general adjustments). I got my first iPhone after uni which gradually became my go to camera with rare exceptions (holidays, for work when the iPhone camera won’t suffice etc.).
I recently used the office 750d with EF-S 10-22 mm f/3.5-4.5 USM lens and it was an absolute joy to use. The quality of photo was exceptional and the technological advancements in the 12 years since the 30d was released made using it much more intuitive (live mode, filming, articulated screen etc.).
I’m expecting my first child in the near future and would like to be able to take some nicer photos to help document this (along with for work purposes) rather than the standard flat iPhone point and shoot photos that I have become accustomed to. I would also like to learn more than the basics to help realise nicer photos and do think the live mode with tutorials would help achieve this (I realise I might have fallen prey to the marketeer’s spiel).
I have had a look and the variety in Canon dslr’s is huge these days and much more confusing than the Xd, XXd, XXXd models I was used to (e.g.: 200d is more than comparable with 800d, 77d is somewhere inbetween the XXd and XXXd lines). Can I check if people would recommend an older XXd body (with live mode and filming) or a 77d/750d. Can I also ask what zoom lens people would suit my needs from the semi-lacking description above. Realistically I have a budget of £750ish but could stretch a little bit if needed.
Sorry for the ramble and big thanks in advance for any advice.
