p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · 6D ?


I am currently shooting with a 5DII and am overall pleased with it’s performance, but need a back-up. Everything I shoot is in raw format and processed in Capture One. ISO 100, strobes, manual focus, tethered, from a camera stand, Zeiss lens. With the 6D being approx. ½ of the price of the 5DIII, what do you think? Please put yourself in my place with my requirements as I realize they are different than most.

The 6D is a great little camera with great IQ. Cant go wrong for what you seem to need it for. Some may suggest a Sony A7...

Same. An A7r would be a little more expensive, but can be adapted to your lens set and is capable of unparalleled resolving power in a 35mm camera, at a very low price.

Not knowing how you are firing your strobes, just understand the 6D does not have a PC Terminal built into the body, both the 5D2 and 5D3 do.

the 6D is superior to the 5D2 in most ways, but it does not have a PC sync and sync speed is at 1/160th. The IQ and nose control is amazing!

Thanks. I'm using a skyport. Price is a concern, but not the main reason that I'm thinking 6D, I just don't want to pay for features that I don't need. I've been shooting for 40 years and my first digital camera ( 1995 ) had a price tag of $50,000.00. Sad fact is I had 5 of them.

+1

I agree to this, except my 6D has sync speed at 1/180th.

I've read flash support for Sony is pretty bad FWIW, so might be worth looking into that if you go that route.

I'd get 6D for sure, and 5D II will become the backup I'd say. 1/180 and 1/200 are both equally lame, no neither here nor there
