Personally I would say that if you want to dabble in the fullframe world consider the 5D original second hand. Ideally the best option for you is the 5DMIII - its got the AF and the build quality along with the fullframe sensor - but its currently way outside of your budget (and if you had a budget that big I'd say go for a lens not another body at this stage). It's what you enjoy from the hobby and whilst you can consider taking it further to a profession the two areas are quite different in what you would need. You've currently a clear interest in wildlife and macro as your driving force so I would focus on those two areas. The only certancy is that new editions nearly always cost far more, so you can wait till summer when there might be a new release, but you'll likely have to save and spent far far more on the newer body. The 7D might be older and there "MIGHT" be a new version, but then again they'll be a new 6D and there is already a new 5DMIII so new versions are always going to come around. It might be an older body, but its a very solid design and feature set, heck the newer 5DMIII basically just copies the 7D AF system. Also, I do plan on testing out each camera at a local store as well, but I value the opinions of TPF members as well. P.S: I know the Nikon D600 is a great choice, but at this point I have too much invested in the 70-200 to warrant jumping ship. Again, the budget is a firm $1800, and I plan to purchase a body by mid next week. So, I know you've all got plenty of thoughts in your heads at this point. That said, while portraiture will be gaining traction, I would still like to be able to shoot wildlife regularly.
#Snapsort 5d mark iii vs 6d professional#
I'm good at stretching my equipment, I think I've done a decent job with the results I've gotten out of the T3i, but I need something that will let me step confidently into the professional arena at some point. Right now I need to look at utilizing what I've got, IE a very expensive piece of glass (70-200 f/4L IS), and getting the most flexibility, and highest image quality possible. Sure, at some point I hope to run a dual-format setup, but that is not anywhere in the near future. Similarly, the 6D is a scary prospect, as it seems largely untested due to being such a recent release. I struggle with the idea of upgrading to the 7D because its running the same sensor I am currently (albeit 2 of them), and the 600D's similar noise levels have grown annoying. So ultimately I am looking for the body that will give me the most bang for my buck in terms of IQ, durability, longevity, and will be able to meet my needs as a growing photographer looking to enter the semi-professional/professional bracket in the coming years.
While I'm not dead-set on going FF, I do think its an important move for me to make at some point.
I'd have to go out and buy a whole set of CF cards. Same sensor as my T3i, so I would question what the point would be besides better AF.
IQ looks like it could be an issue at higher ISOs, which would be a problem when I have to use it for portraiture on occasion. Its an older body, with a new version set to arrive this summer. I'm looking at the following bodies, for the following reasons (I'm leaving a lot of stuff out, this is what I see as being pertinent to my shooting style): As of this weekend I will no longer have a body, so turnaround is a priority here. My hope is to do it on the side at some point for a little extra, but I will say that my main shooting modes are those mentioned, macro and wildlife. I mainly shoot macro and wildlife, though in an attempt to force myself into branching out, I have made a significant investment in looking more seriously at portraiture. Just in time, I have shoots scheduled every weekend from here until April.
#Snapsort 5d mark iii vs 6d free#
I have a great offer that has been made for my T3i, so I'll be free of it as of this weekend and ready to move on. The T3i has served me faithfully, and it really is a pain to have to let it go (wish I could afford to keep it), but I've decided its high time to match my lens with an equally deserving body. Well if finally getting a fully functional 70-200 F4L IS has taught me one thing, its that I desperately want a better body.
