Best lenses for canon 5D mark iii or 6D

[rafaelsynths]

so $8k to upload photos to instagram? an iPhone would do that better than a dslr. I am all for getting the best possible, but that seems a little overkill to me. I think that begs the question of what else do you plan to do with the camera? Family? vacations? I assume a little all of the above, in which case a 5diii is a great option.

Personally I like the suggestion of buying the 5diii plus kit lens then see where you spend most of your time FL wise and fill in from there. Obviously money isn't an object so you shouldn't need to rush out and spend it all at once.

The point isn't instagram. My girlfriend loves instagram, she's not to into my photography talk so I thought might as well get her a feature she would love and try getting into photography through the canon 6D.

I have a $8000 budget of getting a body and some lenses.
I love how the canon 6D has wifi so I can upload pictures directly to Instagram .
But the 5D mark iii has surpurb auto focus.
I'm mostly looking into carrying this camera through the city shooting street photography and portraits.
Help?
Just these two cameras please do not recommend me any other one.

You wrote elsewhere you don't have money to rent a dSLR so you are renting. Here you say you have a budget of 8k. What's going on here?

Oops sorry everyone!
I just wanted to know in simple terms what equipment to rent. I don't have money to buy a dslr so I'm renting.
Canon 6D or Canon 5D mark iii?
It's for walking around, street photography & portraits!
I've seen the 70-200 and that seems like a very good lens to rent out thanks
Yeah I would upgrade from the 7D to 6D for the Iso since the 7D has the same sensor as the t3i. But the burst rate is really useful for wild life and sports!

About 8 months ago he posted that he was going to fix up and sell for $20,000 a GMC truck that his father was giving him for HS graduation. They were to split the profit. Maybe that is the $8,000 budget and the truck hasn't sold yet.

OTOH, maybe he is dreaming and posts in his sleep ;D

Let him dream... I myself I'm dreaming I have a Nikon D800E. Oh well, but reality is I'm stuck with Canon and I don't have the money yet to buy an FF. So I just keep on dreaming while taking pictures with my 500D. ;D

My first DSLR was a Rebel XSi and my only lenses were the kit 18-55 and 55-250. I was in heaven and took tons of what I thought were great photos (only shot jpg and pp in Canon Image Browser).

I have a Mark II and Mark III. I am not a professional photographer and I shoot pics around town similar to what you describe that you intend to do. My main set up for most of my picture taking is 5DMkII or III with EF 135 f2 L. That lens is awesome for run and gun shooting which is what I do most of the time.
