Hi All,
I am currently considering downsizing my existing camera gear and would like some advice and suggestions from other members.
Currently I have the following equipment:
6D Mark II
16-35 f4L
24-105 f4L
70-300 F4.5-5.6L
I mainly use my camera for holiday pics - probably 80 % of use, family shots including 2 yo grand daughter- 10% and night city scapes - 10%.
I originally had a 550D and was disappointed with the image quality when bumping the ISO up and upgraded to the original 6D which I was very happy with the image quality, but a bit bummed by the small number of focus points. I upgraded to the 6D Mark II as soon as it was released and have been very happy with it.
The only issue I have with the gear is the size and weight of the gear when dragging it all around on holidays.
I am currently considering downsizing and selling all of my DSLR gear (including lenses) and buying the M6 Mark II with the 11-22 and 18-150 EF-M lenses and possibly the 35 1.4 as well. I would also be getting the removable EVF.
I think from what I have read that the new crop sensor would provide close enough performance to the 6D M2 (I can accept 1stop worse ISO for equivalent image quality) and I know that the lenses won’t be as good as the L series I currently have, but will the be good enough?
I am not looking at the R or RP because if I do this the main goal is downsizing my gear and the size difference between my current gear and the R range would not be significant.
So people - am I missing anything? Is there any significant functionality that I would be missing? For those that have moved to the M series how have they found the image quality from the native lenses?
Money wise I stand to probably pocket $1000 after the change so the cost is not an issue.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Robert
