I'm sorry create another 6D vs 5D3 thread as I know there are many, if the mods feel the need to move this somewhere else, or outright delete it. I understand.
I have visited this site for years, but never signed up to the forums, but here I am, as I have a conundrum that I haven't been able to find a clear answer to despite my months of research through these forms and other places on the internet.
Yes, that blasted eternal 6D or 5D3 question. Pros and cons for each, etc, we all know the tale of the tape. Here's my issue. Through my research, it seems to me that the majority of the people that are very happy with their 6D purchase are the ones moving up from a much older tech/system. Wether it be a 5D2, or a 40D, 30D, etc, they are cameras that use outdated tech by todays standards.
I, on the other hand, have a 7D, a camera that isn't that old in tech comparison. I am looking to make the jump to FF while keeping the 7D to use in tandem, as obviously, its still a very good camera in its own right. I am now extremely used to it's fantastic 19pt AF system, it's speed, and overall robustness. However, as I am starting to do more editorial photos and portraiture, I find that the image quality just isn't there for those uses. I also shoot weddings/events, sports, and landscape as well. I basically cover the gamut.
In my limited in-store experiences with both the 6D and the 5D3, I have found the the AF system in the 6D to be frighteningly archaic compared to the 7D. But, I have found the overall complexity of the 5D3 (beyond it's 61pt AF system) to be almost overwhelming. I don't use all the systems and settings in my 7D, so there's a good chance i'll never use all of the camera that is the 5D3, I'm not that big into video either.
As I said, my main objective here is image quality, and I know from reading many reviews on here and elsewhere, that the discrepancy between the 2 bodies is almost nil (being excellent quality for both), as is the same with high ISO performance, and the low light focusing (although it seems like the 6D may have a slight edge here).
I can see myself using the WiFi system on the 6D for proofing photos with clients on a larger screen on the fly. But that, and the price, are the only 2 main advantages from my perspective the 6D has over the 5D3. There are many things that bug me about the 6D, all of which have been discussed before (AF system, SD cards, burst frame rate, no joystick, etc) but I'm wondering if i'll be able to ignore those things (AF system specifically) and use the 6D where it shines, for its quality of image, and keep that extra $1400 that I could certainly use elsewhere.
I would like to hear from people people who might be able to share my perspective (7D owners looking to make the hop), and maybe shed more light on it.
Thank you!
Strangely, the same Canon does so in some markets, such as Asia. Will some customers are worth more than others?
