5D2 or 6D?

[Cholentpot]

Not going to be a problem at all. For example, and version of 50 1.8 is lovely on any 5D or 6D. I used nothing else but 50 1.8 II on 5D for months.

Excellent!

My 50 1.8 is currently my primary portrait lens. It is dying though, gotta throttle the autofocus/manual switch every so often. Might get a yonguo to tide me over.

My 5DII satisfied my (amateur) needs. I traded a Rebel5Ti and stepped up to the FF format. It was my first FF DSLR. I liked the image quality, the Canon lenses, Canon image editing software. I didn't need or use autofocus much. I did find the "Live-view" screen very helpful with focusing, in particular when using a tripod, the liveview can provide a magnified section of the image for focusing, and the section can be steered around the frame. Eventually I traded the 5DII because I found the Canon G16 does everything I need and is pocketable. I think I got about $700 for the 5DII with low shutter count, just before Christmas.

I have no want for digital P&S these days. My phone covers that base, that or my Olympus Stylus or XA2.

Live view is nice, but it's even nicer after I installed Magic Lantern. Got focus peaking, focus confirmation, even split screen focusing if I needed it. Worth staying with Canon just for ML.

Thanks fellas!

I found a used 6D on B&H for $780 and change, condition 9. I think it was a steal but who knows. Off to full frame I go!

Thanks for the help!
