With the move to stabilized f1.4 lenses instead of f1.2 (or the rare f1.0), the 'need' to ditch the EF mount is even less.

Used 5D3s are not more than around $1600 on fleabay or even less for high shutter count examples. But of course there's always bundled battery grips and all kinds of other accessories that can drive up the listing.

6D original. Less high ISO noise than even a 5dIII and a better center AF point in low light. Which is the only point you'll be using on a 6D because its AF system suuuuuucccksssss.

Now that you mention it, I wonder why APS-H hasn't made a comeback in the mirrorless space.

Buffers/resolution = framerate. 1D III is 10 FPS. 1Ds III is only 5. APS-H for sports, wildlife, UFOs, etc.

It was on the ferry to the Statue of Liberty. I just got it out at arms length straight upwards. Red AF confirm in the VF is still visible so there you go

There's no RAW or JPEG or lightbulbs or lenses or UFOs overhead affecting anything. Its just different sensors, different BIOSes. Or rather the hardcoded procedures that dictate how signals from the sensor are handled. All your settings and profiles are just adjustments to these default values. Go ahead and dump them from the camera motherboards and inspect the code line by line if you want. The truth is out there.

Not bad, is this the 22 or the 24 wide open? Decent bokeh if it isn't. Speaking of bokeh though - I can't go back to crop because FF can do so much more, especially at apertures you don't normally consider portrait like f/4 (and I can't afford any 2.8 zooms):

I'd suggest something 85mm because while the 135 is great its also a bit tight for portraiture indoors - unless you're doing that sort of thing exclusively outdoors. See if you can't swing a 40mm pancake. The plain old 50mm is getting really long in the tooth and is pretty horrid wide open. The pancake on the other hand is totally usable wide open, aside from heavy vignetting.

Don't forget the in camera corrections for jpegs at least for certain bodies. Third party lenses don't get that.

f/4 doesn't suck nearly as much as it used to, high ISO performance having improved drastically in the last ~10 years.

A 400mm or even 300mm 2.8 with the TCs is probably more versatile? thats the best I got.

f/4 is the smarter choice these days with sensors getting better and better at high ISOs. Unless you are literally doing paid work, save the $ and your spine.

Sweet holy mother of jesus how things have changed. 10 years ago, Canon was the practically the ONLY choice for serious video work. 7D and 5Dii were used in The Avengers and I can't how you get more serious than that.

Where the hell is the 200-500 5.6? I know the Nikon one kinda sucks and there are obvious alternatives but my tammy 150-600 is "only" 6.3 by 500mm

Old rear end a7s ii is only 12MP but gets usable images up to ISO 102400. The video at ISO 51200 is still incredible. Good high ISO also lets you get away with just carrying f/4 across your range instead of breaking your back over heavy f/2.8 if moving around is involved.

BetterLekNextTime posted:Just duct tape four of these together and you'll have an unstoppable telephoto solution. I didn't even know these existed but I'm not paying $300 for a phone sensor. If they bump that up to a micro 4/3 or even 1 inch sensor, add more capture options, I'd seriously consider it.

Not sure you'll be able to spring a trade in the way you are thinking. Not many people with an older FF will want to give it up for a crop sensor DSLR. I know I don't. You'll probably be better off selling it and then buying the FF.

The 6D will have better high ISO performance than the 7D2. In fact, the 6D was even slightly better than the 5D3 for pure high ISO.

Not often mentioned great feature of the 7D is the full coverage and 1 to 1 magnification viewfinder. It is a true WYSIWYG viewfinder you don't get even in the 1D series.
