So my wife has agreed to buy me a new camera body + grip for Christmas (my birthday, Father's Day, Easter, and any other holiday until next Christmas). Now I just need to decide on which body. My budget has narrowed it down to 6D or the 7D mark II.
I mostly shoot sports, but this is my youngest chil's senior year so after this school year I will probably mostly do portraits, nature/macro, landscapes and the grandkids.
I have been careful to always buy lenses that would work on FF cameras (just in case), so all but the kit lens that came with my first DSLR will work on the 6D.
I currently shoot with a 60D so I would lose a bit of FPS, I do use continuous and it would suck to slow the shutter down, going from the 60D to the 6D I would lose .8 FPS. But I wonder if I wouldn't benefit more from the increased image quality of the 6D.
But then I go back to the AF system of the 7D mark II and think of some of the shots I've missed because of focus issues. In addition unless this camera ends up paying for itself, there is not much chance I'll be able to upgrade again for several years, so I wonder if I shouldn't go with the newest.
I am not a pro, no one is going to invite me to shoot a college or pro football game, although I may shoot some high school football next year, but I do want to get the best pictures I can.
I am going back and forth between the two, maybe leaning towards the 6D, but am a little worried because I have never used a FF camera before.
Help me decide please.
