I'm struggling to decide on a camera, sensor size, mirrorless or SLR...Think you can help? ;)

[TimmyD11]

if I had more $$$ I would never use a zoom lens...ever

Well, wonder how much Canon 20mm and 30mm L prime lenses cost. Wouldn't have to be crazy fast for landscapes, although would be nice to have one fast one for dabbling in astrophotography.

Otherwise I'm thinking about the Canon 16 to 35 4.0 or whatever as my first lens in almost 25 years.

Forget auto HDR, say u got a great shot and u just wasted it because you only shoot jpeg...you can do HDR better than the onboard auto HDR...sorry Canon. If you shoot all raw you can do anything, you shoot auto HDR your stuck. Anyways you answered your own question, one is too old, one doesn't have the features you want. Canon no.

If I had $2500 and was hell bent on a dslr, I would buy a Pentax K1 and a fast 50mm prime.

 

[Dragster3]

Hell yeah...my real list...
K1. $2000
All used k lenses I can buy for $500 that's a lot of lenses...

Don't plan on getting everything all at once, that's my initial budget for body and one lens. Wide angle zoom or wide angle prime.

For now.

I wish more people would give their hypothetical setups...

It's always impressive when someone gets great shots with a crap setup...

You don't need fancy equipment, especially auto HDR...Use your cellphone if you want HDR for dummies.

I like the idea of HDR. There is nothing I hate more than a washed out sky.

I"ve been limited to my iPhone SE during the days lately...otherwise my walking around kit is a Domke shoulder bag, ugly black heavy canvas, unpadded, with a Nikon D610, the 24/2.8 Ai-S; the 50/1.8 G, the 85/1.8 G, the AF-D 180mm /2.8 ED~IF; the 70-300 VR-G; the 60 AF-D Micro~Nikkor; the Tamron 90mm f/2.8 AF-SP macro (25+ years old,plastic barrel);the lenses I shoot most shots per day are the 24,50,85,180,and 70-300.

Sure, but you need to Fix it... Not the camera.

So I just arranged to go back to Banff and Jasper next week. Can anyone suggest one great lens for landscapes if I purchase the 6D this weekend? I'm leaning towards the Canon 16 to 35 4.0 L unless I'm convinced there is something better in that price range or below.

 

[Dragster3]

I don't like big zoom lens...10-20 hsm, after that all prime...if your gonna go zoom buy used. That's my $0.02.

Well I could get a Canon 20mm and 28mm lens for the cost of that zoom but neither will be L lenses.
