Hi
I have been shooting with my Canon SL1 for about 2 years now, before I shot maybe a year with a Nikon D3200. I have been planning on upgrading to full frame for quite a while now, and tried to amass a few full frame lenses before the move (like the Canon EF 100-400mm L).
I am trying to decide what kind of full frame I really need based on my uses. I like to do travel photography, and I really enjoy milky way photography. I was initially looking at the Canon 6D, as it is pretty much the most well known camera for astrophotography. However, even with my Canon SL1 and a small aperture (around 3.5-4) I can get pretty decent photographs of the Milky Way with surprisingly less noise then I had expected.
With a full frame camera I was also planning on buying a Rokinon 14mm F2.8, which should improve the brightness of the galaxy, and the wide angle combined with full frame allowing more exposure time.
I became very interested in the initial Canon 5D, as it has a very appealing price of around $300 or so used and I really don't need all the features of the Canon 6D (like GPS, WiFi). I just care purely about image quality. All over other various forums I see the main detractor of the 5D is just its age and feel, and I could care less about these qualities. I feel that it being a full frame camera should give it an improvement over my SL1 inherently.
Would the original 5D be suitable for my needs, and would it be a significant improvement over my SL1?
Thank you!
