    I'm looking at buying this for my first full frame camera. Should I consider any others in this price range?

    Hi Nikki and welcome to the forum.

    It is easy for someone else to spend your money for you. But in some ways your questions brings on more questions before anyone could answer it.

    What sort of photography are you doing? Or wanting to do? Are you buying new or used? What other cameras are you looking at?

    I am not sure of the pricing in your country, but have you looked at the RP? It is basically a 6d ii without the mirror box.

    Hi, welcome also Nikki, as you say this i your first full frame, does this imply you already have a crop etc? if so would you be carrying over lenses from previous system like adapted ef?

    Given that you look to have some money put into EF lenses already, I think that your direction of a 6d2 is a very suitable upgrade to your 450d and I can see it being the one you were naturally drawn too.
    The 5d line is a step up and if you can afford it. Even the early models used are great cameras, with maybe the one draw back on still shooting my mark 2 being the minimal number of focus points. That said I still use it regularly.
