What are your new Gear Resolutions for 2016?
From the who is getting what list last year
As you can see this was a multi year list. This years resolutions.
Biggest surprises last year was getting a 7DII. It was a ridiculous price in the Canon refurb store and I could not resist. My A7II received a huge autofocus firmware update making my Canon lens actual autofocus on the camera. And after buying a 16-35 f4 L I came to the curious decision to just sell my 6D while I can get something for it. I now have a 7DII to use for wildlife. I finally upgraded my metabones III adapter to the metabones IV adapter. I was pleasantly surprised that my Tamron 28-75f2.8 now focuses on my Sony A7II.
The 6D, EOS M, and Nex6 are in a box being sent into Amazon for trade in.
Unless the Canon 5DIV knocks it out of the park I am waiting for the 6DII announcement before deciding on a new DSLR. I will compare it to the 5Dr and 5DIV before making up my mind. (I hope my early prediction that the 6DII will be released fall 2017 is wrong.)
I am really considering going m4/3 for a light travel camera. But that would mean three camera systems so the A6100 is more likely. This is especially true if it supports autofocus with DSLR lenses like the A7II and A7rII.
