Hello, I currently have a Canon 5D Mark II. This has been my primary camera for almost 9 yrs. I have enjoyed using it but since I am noticing some minor problems with it I would like to upgrade to another primary and used the 5D Mark II as a back up camera. My thought was a lighter weight full frame Canon DSLR. I would probably use it more for travel and hikes if it were a bit lighter. Currently my research has led me to the Canon 6D Mark II. Is there another full frame Canon I should consider? My lenses : Canon EF 24-105 mm IS USM Canon 17-40 USM Tamron 90 mm F/2.8 Samyang 14mm F/2.8 Any help or suggestions would be appreciate. Thanks!
Well I think for the money the 6dII is a great camera. If size is a big selling factor, I would probably go to a store and see how it feels in the hands the 6d and 5d lines are very close in size and maybe a 1/4lb difference in weight. If I was going to go with compact full frame I would go with the EOS R its far more feature rich, and just a little lighter yet then the 6dii. With both cameras you will be moving to a single SD card slot. The 6dII from what I saw also has all the focus points clustered towards the center which is a big draw back in my opinion. I may be getting the 5dIV myself this month as I am not 100% sold on going mirror-less with the R, but like you the MarkII has been my main camera for almost a decade. All three have great instant rebates this month before the holidays so definitely worth doing some side by side comparisons the next week or so and making your decision.
