I am planning to upgrade to a full frame sensor to help me with my goal of making a living from photography, mostly through portraits but want to stay open to all kinds of photography for now, but am having a hard time deciding...
So far I have been looking at either the newer Canon 6d or the older 5d mark II which are both around the same price used. And the Nikon d600 which is a little cheaper and recommended by a friend but I am a little nervous moving from Canon to Nikon as it's not going to be easy to move back again if I wanted to some day... I'm of course open to other suggestions I haven't thought about though.
For lenses I plan to get a cheap 28-85mm (about 100 euros for either canon or Nikon) and an 85mm 1.8 for portraits, everything including the body will be used of course, probably off of ebay.
What do you guys think? Any advice is hugely appreciated, I'm looking at spending around 1200 euros (1500USD) which is an absolutely huge amount of money for me at the moment so this is a huge decision for me to make.
