there was no real option on the poll that fits me.The 5d4 is so early still in it's life cycle and I know that I'm probably not the only one with my mindset - the release time sucked for wedding shooters, or, it wasn't great for being an early adopter. For folks like me, the 5d4 came out right when income starts to dry up, and, wedding season in the northeast isn't exactly bumpin in the winter months. I'll happily purchase it this spring/early summer when funds are a bit more liquid and there are actual weddings to shoot. I've been renting it when needed but.
The 6d2 doesn't interest me much as something to purchase. Now with that aid, I do own a 6d. It's been my second body now for 2 years. I'd consider the 6d2 if it weren't for a few things, non of which has to do with the IQ, or in camera specs really -
Reason 1 and everything falls in this category, body size/button layout. I know my 5d3 like the back of my hand. I rarely have to stop to look and consider what I'm pushing. When i shoot with the 6d and 5d3, it's a game of stumbling around. having the image playback buttons on the opposite side, I know its there but i always stumble when i have to do it. Same with ISO, not in the same place. Those 2 things are really annoying enough to sway me away from considering the 6d2.
IQ wise the original 6d is great, i have a very hard time telling the difference between the 6d and the 5d3. The AF is limited, and I could deal with that if not for the body size/button layout.
I'm sure the 6d2 will be a fine camera. But for what I'm doing, unless they made the body larger (only way to get that row of buttons on the left side back, and have the top controls mirror the 5d3/5d4) its a no sale.
