Hi,

I currently have a 7D and have had this since release. The camera has been great and served me well in many scenarios. It is now starting to show its age (low light photgraphy is becoming an issue) and my photography has changed. I used to shoot a lot of sport, now I shoot lots of family gatherings, candid and holidays.

My current kit is:
Canon 17-50 2.8 IS - Lens will be sold if full frame
Canon 10-20 - Lens will be sold if full frame
Canon 50mm 1.4
Canon 70-200/f4 IS
Canon 580ex ii flash

I am unsure where to go next, I would like to go full frame and also experiement with video. For me the 6D mark II seems like the obvious choice but its not getting a welcomed reception. Which leads me thinking do I have any other better choices? (5D Mark iii)

Thanks
Matt
 
Well I was looking at 6d mark ii or 5d mark iii prices and on import there not to far from each other.

I guess your right about reviews etc. I guess any full frame camera I chose will run circles around my 7D. The 5D has some feature like dual card slots which appeal to me.
 
The 7D's auto focus is very impressive and never misses a shot. Just when pushing the limits of light if can be really hit and miss. Im thinking of keeping it for when I do sport photography...

I think either one will be a great camera but the 6D II to me feels like a slight downgrade where as the 5D III feels like an upgrade, as the 5D has more professional features.
 
At the moment 5D III is looking like the one to get, as focus is better and dual card slots win it for me. Im hoping by the time I come to do this near Christmas the IV comes down.

Video is just a nice to have, and something I would do on a second shooter later on, If I decided I wanted it.
