I'd like to have those focusing points back.The Canon EF 2x III is sharper than previous incarnations and is a worthy accessory for compatible lenses. My eyes are 20/20 but I look at screens a lot, so I can miss it from fatigue.

Of course that can always be done with manual focus as well, but there is no focus peaking unless you get magic lantern, and I don't like magic lantern. Making it more obvious if I got the eye in focus or not. However recently I have been getting more into headshots and portraits where I need to be closer. I love my 6D, but I really like super sharp photos and the outside focus points almost always screw me. Because I sold my last one when I left Canon. I am about to get myself a 5D iii once again. If you need the focusing points, better to save up or sell something you don't need on craigslist and get the 5D iii. I don't think the 5D Mark ii ever got down below two grand, it might have reached 1800, not sure. I don't expect it to get much cheaper, even after the release of the 5D Mark iii. I always buy the battery grip, so really, this makes the 5D Mark iii 2200 dollars if you also buy the battery grip.

Some of them aren't and have an American warranty, but I'd pay the 500 more dollars with Amazon or something because I can trust that I can send it back.Īmazon and Best Buy's websites have the 5D Mark iii available with a free battery grip for 2500 dollars. They can be had for 2000 dollars new, but you take a chance with those eBay sellers. That's about all I can think of.ĥD mark iii is dropping in price, a new one right now is 2500 dollars. The 6D can do a lot of things the 5D Mark ii can't do, the 5D mark ii really doesn't have much happening that the 6D can't do. The 6D has options for bracketing 7 shots at one time. It will focus when the 5D Mark ii can't.īoth have one card slot, 6D has SD cards, cheaper and nowadays it could be argued the way to go.

The 6D's cross type point is faster and rated for much lower light. The 5D Mark ii has one cross type point, the 6D has one cross type point. It also has better options for video, the moire is the same on 5D mark ii and 6D, but 6D has the ALL-I and different options of the mark iii. The 6D's image basically is a 5D Mark iii. To me, there is no comparison, the 6D wins, even if one has to spend more money on it. I've owned the 5D Mark ii, 5D Mark iii, went away from Canon for a while, came back and now have the 6D. īut remember its a budget FF i was not nearly so impressed as when i first took the 7D out in the field but that superior IQ more than makes up for the budget build Personally i did not even consider the 5D2 with the advantages of the 6D. The ergonomics and build are not to the standard of the 7D nor is the weather proofing, its a fair weather camera. Take a look at the 6D advantages do you feel its more suited for the above ? I also had a 7D previously before replacing that with the 6D and I can definitely say that the 5D II better match the 7D's button layout than the 6D do. If I were to choose between the two on price I would pick the 6D but if you could get a mint condition 5D II for a good price then that is also a good option.

That said I still shoot the 5D II in dark venues at ISO 3200 without issues. I much prefer the 5D II's button layout and operation but the 6D wins with autofocus and high ISO. They are both excellent and I use them interchangeably in both weddings as well as studio and outdoor portraiture. Am I making a mistake looking at the 5D2? Should I just get a 6D? A 5D3 is above my budget, since I need some money left over for lenses. My question is, a used 5D2 and a new 6D are about the same price. I will be keeping my 7D for sports and wildlife. I like the control layout of the 5D2, since it more closely matches the layout of my 7D. My primary uses for the camera would be landscapes, portraits, and some astro (I have a tracking mount). I'm currently considering buying a used 5D2.
