To the OP: Welcome to CR. Nothing personal, but I will not tolerate another person using the term "ecosystem" for an imaging system consisting of cameras and lenses. Your cameras, etc. are not living organisms.

I think he meant, EOSsystem!

And since I'm on a rant here, to those who think they somehow sound erudite by using the term "price point," stop it -- unless you're discussing a marketing plan or strategy. The price you're going to pay for an item is only a "price point" to the marketing organization. To you, the buyer, it's just the price.

To whom are you referring to? Nobody in the entire thread, except you, used the word price point, unless they since edited it. Though I see no issue with someone using the term to describe the general price that a product would be sold for. It may not be strictly correct, but I find it less offensive than unnecessarily working in words like erudite.

I'm well aware of what it means, I just found its use amusing in a rant about what I would consider a common term, and turning it into an attempt to look educated.

Now you went and took my completely harmless post and added a negative connotation. Hardly the spirit there my friend.

Hi there

Just yesterday I read my monthly photographers magazine and there was a review on the all new Nikon D750. The spec-list matched 100% with the camera I'm waiting for Canon to release somewhere near (Nikon released 5 full-frames in the last year!).

The idea is clear, pick a Canon 70D, put a full-frame sensor in it, add a few extra focus points in it and you're done. Canon may brand it like the Canon 6D Mark II, but anyway I wan't to have it soon!

If I hadn't spent all the effort (and money) to get familiar with the Canon eco-system I would have switched already. I started in photography in 2006 with a 400D, Canon EF-S 18-55 f/3.5-5.6 II (which is still my only and main DSLR) but in the years I've invested into EF lenses and a flash (Canon EF 50 f/1.8 II (2006 and 2009 (first one broke when dropped), Canon EF 70-200 f/2.8L IS II USM (2013), Canon EF 16-35 f/4.0L IS USM (2014), YN600EX-RT (2014)).

So, I think I followed the saying - invest in glass first - quite well, but now I would like to attach a nice body to it without buying an "old" and expensive 5D mark III nor in a non-dual pixel 6D.

Are there other "prosumers" feeling the same way?

Kind regards

Hi,

A serious answer here... no calling people a troll... no trying to impress with erudite words that flow mellifluously off the tongue....

Yes, last year Nikon released a lot of DSLRs, and they were all good.... Canon released the 7D2, and it's good.... The odds are very high that next year Canon we the one releasing lots of cameras and Nikon will be hardly releasing any. My advice is to wait and see what happens.

The predictions for the future of Canon DSLRs is that the next round of FF DSLR updates gets DPAF and that the improvements in tech that came with the 7D2 will show up on the next FF cameras.... I think your FF 70D is the 6D2 and my bet is it's coming soon.
