New camera, replace 5D mkII or 6D

Thanks the ceremony and reception was there, it's a nice place when the weather is good. Done quite a few there now, bit of a pain that it's open to the public and students during weddings but not too much of a problem usually.

Nice photos Mr Tom.
re not knowing which is which,don't they have the same sensor? would a few more pixels make a difference?
thanks for posting

No different sensors. The 6D is slightly lower resolution and has slightly better high-ISO noise performance but there's very little between them.

Thanks

At a wedding I'd say the difference is probably not noticeable. I like the weightier feel of the 5D3 and we didn't really need to replace the 5D2. The better ISO performance and one hugely important feature for me (Auto ISO shutter speed settings) was enough reason.

That one feature alone has been worth the upgrade. I can literally see something happening, pick the camera up, click the shutter and it's going to be spot on with the minimum shutter speed set to 1/125. It wasn't ever that much of a problem with the 5D2 but there would be the odd time you'd see something unexpected happen and miss it due to having the ISO wrong. Those fractions of a setting at a wedding can be the difference between total missing a natural shot.

nice work mr tommo

i agree, the image quality between the two is hard to tell apart, though the auto focus system is noticeably different

i tried my 6D on a sports type day and it couldn't touch the 5D

though for still work , portraits etc it is fantastic

Thanks

How are you finding your 6D?

Here is another Wedding that was shot 4 weeks ago with the old 5D2 & 6D : http://kandlphotography.co.uk/the-ashes/lucy-dan/ I'd guess around 70% of those shots are from the 6D though. I think sometimes bodies are given too much credit.

Nice photos, thank you for sharing, along with your opinion

Thanks
