Added (1). I put more emphasis on stills, I rarely do video. The touchscreen feature isn't a pro or a con for me. I care more about performance. The Nikon bundle I'm looking at is cheaper, includes more accessories, and equipment than the Canon's, I'm leaning more towards the Nikon since I will receive more for my money. Both cameras are pretty similar but I would like to hear from more experienced photographers. Cost matters to me but I don't want to skimp and go for the cheapest for the lesser camera.
A true upgrade would be away from "entry level" cameras to what is called an enthusiast camera like the Nikon D7200 or Canon 80D
Which you choose will be based upon the number of lenses you have for each system (it is highly unusual for someone to own both Nikon and Canon camera systems --- it is just not an efficient way to use you money wisely)
Neither the Nikon 7200 nor the Canon 80D come with lenses, so which lenses you have now will weigh heavily in your choice.
However, since you are looking more for the cost/value of camera bundles, you may find it interesting to see how the sensors of the D5600 compares to the Canon T7i/800D. Here is a link.
Two things you will notice: There have been no tests yet on the T7i/800D (substituted with the Canon 750/T6i) and that the older Nikon D5500 slightly outperforms the newer D5600 camera
As already pointed out, an upgrade that doesn't advance you to the next level is often going to disappoint.
Definitely it needs to be into the Nikon 7*** and Canon 80D territory. You will get way better performance, much better viewfinder and control without tedious 'menu-diving'. As it looks like you don't mind jumping ship and getting new system gear then a move to a Pentax K70 will take you more than half way towards those better cameras
These two cameras are very similar in features and quality. Maybe the biggest difference is the Nikon's battery is rated to take about 50% more photos per charge. So there's really little difference.
I would look back and try to see which camera I liked the better, the D50 or the T1i. That's the one I would get.
Have you seen the specification of Canon 77D camera? The canon 77D camera uses same sensor as of Canon 80D camera and available at lower price tag.
What you may want to upgrade to will depend to some degree on what lenses you currently own. If, however, you're not too heavily invested in a particular brand (lenses, other peripheral accessories, etc), then I'd suggest you MAKE the leap of faith and check out the Nikon D7100 and the Nikon D7200, compare FEATURES that you WILL use, and compare costs.
Normally, I'd suggest the Nikon D5200, which is the one camera that is worth ever dime insofar as features per dollar. But, you need something that you can grow into, not a mid-range entry-level camera like the D5200, as excellent as it is and how well-built it is. You need something that will allow you to grow and learn for a few years. Regardless, either the D7100 or D7200 will keep you occupied and happy for a number of years. Go to any big camera shop nearest you, ask to see both, hold them both in your hands, compare the ergonomics and how easy it is to reach the buttons, knobs, wheels, etc., for the features, functions and options before deciding. Ask the counter rep to explain the difference, the advantages and disadvantages of each. Be well informed before deciding so you won't have any future regrets.
Whether you choose Canon or Nikon will be up to your personal likes and dislikes but also consider this: Canon and Nikon have the widest variety of lenses for your future needs… That is mighty important, considering that there are other camera brands that also make great cameras their lens variety is limited because they're too expensive or they simply don't have the wide variety to choose from.
When you do get your camera, do yourself a favor, READ the camera's Instructions Manual so you'll be familiar with all the features, functions and options, where they are, when and how to use them so you can have full advantage of what the camera offers to assist you in getting the best possible images.
You won't feel an upgrade with those. Go for either a D7x00 or an 80D.
