The 5DmkIII had a shutter rated with twice as many operations, 200,000 vs. The 5DmkIII offered better AF for action photography, which again was something that I did not anticipate doing, not at all. Weather sealing was not a big selling point for me. But, a 6D is probably more robust against bad and inclement weather than I am. The 5DmkIII offered a better build than a 6D, with its' weather sealing. I had no intention of shooting video, which is a task that I would give the 6D low marks, compared to the 5DmkII or the 7DmkII. I have always shot mostly stills, with the occasional social event like family gatherings, both indoors and out.

I had quickly ruled out the 7DmkII because i wanted a full frame body. That is exactly the type of shooting that I expected to do when I purchased a 6D, over either the 5DmkIII or the 7DmkII. I currently shoot pretty much strictly photos no video, Landscape and urban is what i do mostly, decent amount of night shooting so low light is important. "Okay im upgrading to either the 5d mk iii or 6d but cant decide which one. I think one of thesse standard zooms would be your best choice for an initial purchase with a full frame body. There are some photographers who like to go outside of that range of focal lengths for portraits, so don't think of it as a hard rule, just as a guideline.Ī standard zoom lens, such as the EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, or one of the 24-70mm "L" lenses, could serve double duty as both a portrait lens, and a wide angle lens. On a full frame camera body, something between 50-100mm would be ideal for portraits, with an 85mm falling into what most consider nearly the ideal portrait focal length because of the depth of field you can get. I later purchased an auto-focusing EF 16-35mm, for more urban shooting on the "run and gun" pace of city life, which is the lens I would suggest for double duty shooting either of landscapes or cityscapes. I don't have the image quality of the Canon 14mm prime, but those details are only visible on a computer screen.
FOCUS POINT ON CANON 5D MARK III VS 6D MARK II MANUAL
Most of my landscape photos are shot from a tripod, so LiveView manual focusing was a natural fit with a manual lens. I felt I didn't need the auto-focus of the Canon lens that much, especially one without IS, which really isn't needed at that focal length. Instead I purchased a fully manual operated 14mm by Rokinon, which is great for landscapes and astrophotography, for about 1/6 the cost of the Canon EF 14mm f/2.8L II USM. I did not spend large money on a 14mm prime. A 14mm may not be a good lens for events, not unless the event is a BIG one, and you wanted to capture the mood and atmosphere. Interested to hear feedback on that as well.Ī 14mm would not be a good choice for portraits, not unless we're talking about group photos. the 14mm would be primarily for much of the landscape and urban shooting i do. Only a compulsive pixel peeper would ever care, and for portrait and event photography, there's no discernible wrote:Īppreciate the feedback.the 14mm wouldnt be for events or portraits.I have a 50mm 1.8 and plan on getting a macro.either 85 or 100. Ignore (politely, of course) those who tell you that you need prime lenses because they're better than zooms. (The flash won't cover its FOV.) If you really want/need a WA lens, consider one of the 16-35's, either the f/4 or the f/2.8. It's neither a portrait lens nor an event lens, and it's probably too wide to use indoors with flash. The worst that can happen is that you decide you can't live without the 5D3 after all, in which case the 6D will be a serviceable backup.īut I wouldn't buy the 14mm f/2.8. Given your constraints, I'd be inclined to buy the 6D and leave more money to spend on lenses. But i dont want to get the 6d and then regret not spending the extra 1000 on 5d mk ii.just trying to figure out whats worth it.thoughts? The plan is to start doing more portrait and event shooting (weddings, etc.) Price is a factor, I plan on buying canon 14mm 2.8 along with body and if i went with cheaper 6d i would probably buy another L lens at same time with money im saving.

Okay im upgrading to either the 5d mk iii or 6d but cant decide which one.
