Canon 90D vs 6d mark ii?

[Tatiana_]

Why not now take a time to sort through all the advice from people here. Put the thoughts of changing cameras on the back burner for a few days play with the kids
Then one evening when it’s quiet and the pro and cons of different cameras have stopped rushing through your mind make your choice
You will not be the first who has chased them selves round in circles trying to work out what they want.
If I sound like I am muttering.. I have just spent months on the FF vs crop canon 5dmk3 vs 7dmk2 which do I get question.

Good point. I will do that!

I have the 6D Mark II and it has been great. In addition to what you shoot, it also depends on what lenses you have and what you are willing to acquire. You'll love a full frame no matter what you get so long as there is good glass in front of it. Good does not mean overly expensive. My 85mm F 1.8 is great for portraits and the 55 mm F 1.8 can be too. Having said that, I have a few crop sensor cameras and use them just as often as the full frame. Just depends on the mission.

The best advice you will get on this site will usually be the series of questions you must ask yourself to make up your own mind based on what you shoot and others have provided that guidance is earlier replies. Have fun with whatever you upgrade to.

And NO, Canon does not make an EF-S 35mm lens, you have to buy the Yongnuo 35/2 lens.

Actually they do, and it has image stabilization and little lights built in (for macro pics), and I love mine. 35mm Canon Efs 35mm f2.8

Cool, and it's a macro.
I did not find it, cuz I was looking for something about f/2, for shooting gym sports.

Canon has made a modest 35 mm F / 2 lens for several decades now. It has never been that popular, but it is a solid performer for a relatively low price. It is well made, and has lived in the shadow of the fairly famous Canon EF 35mm f / 1.4.

geez that was the lens that I was looking for last year.

update, the USM lens is a $550 lens. That is why I did not find it. But based on the price, I do not think that is the lens that you are referring to.

I am absolutely in love with the Canon EOS 90D.
It is a really great DSLR and packed with features. But the same can be said for the M6 MK II. In fact, it is better in some areas. Canon has made it really hard for us.

One aspect I haven't seen covered here (and I'm prone to missing things) is the layout of the controls of the 90D vs the 6D.
How quickly can one change ISO on one vs the other?
If I remember my 40D correctly, I would modify aperture and shutter speed with a front dial and back dial which were pretty easily reached with fingers and I didn't need to pull my eye away from the viewfinder. I think ISO was a button on the top plate and then a dial to alter the setting.

Then there is weight and handling. Is there a significant difference between these choices?
Will you be less likely to carry it around if it weighs too much? Or is large and you have to struggle with large bag?
Does the grip feel "right" to you?
Does the full frame camera create significantly larger file sizes than the other? Computer speed and file storage need to be considered.

As the kids get older will you be needing to photograph their sporting events? If so the crop sensor camera might be better suited. I used the old EF 70-200 f/2.8 L lens on my 40D when our younger boy got recruited to varsity soccer and played in poorly lit stadia at night. Previously I used the old EF 70-300 (pre L days) for the greater reach.

I hope I've brought up some factors that you might also consider.

I don’t know about Image Quality, buts pecs look amazing. Other than it’s not full frame. Why can’t they make all that on a full frame????

Very good points, thank you. Something to consider.
