Yes, maybe I forgot to mention I grew increasingly happy with the 6D over the years. I had to replace the camera body twice because the Card Slot / Car Reader would fail and the camera would freeze. It once did so during an event.
Then, switched to the Sigma Art lenses, and, paired with the 6D, they slowed me down quieter a bit. Both combined, I had a lot, a LOT, of focus issues, even after focus calibration.
That's why I've decided to start all over and give Nikon a chance.

Same questions I always ask on this sort of thing.
What problems are your customers complaining about with your current system that the change would fix?
What problems are you having with your current gear the other gear would solve?
How is the other gear going to bring you more clients, have your current clients spend more money or have them buy from you more frequently?
Will the other gear produce something that the clients are asking for you can't currently provide?
Is there ANY other tangible benefit to your business financially that the change would help with?
Everything you are saying here seems to be based on what others are saying and their feelings. I see nothing where you say YOU are disappointment or have a problem or your customers are unsatisfied with the images your current gear is producing.
I just updated from a 7D to a 7dII and a 6D . Right up till Christmas that 7 YO camera was shooting everything from sports to weddings to portraits and the only feedback I got from my clients was how much they liked the pics.
Only reason I updated was because the other camera's were getting old and had done loads of work so it was a reliability factor.
there was NOTHING wrong with the images and no real reason from a business POV to spend money ion a new cam other than it was getting real long in the tooth and I didn't want it to let me down. If they were still available, I would have bought the same body again. There was no problems with it no matter how much other might want to champion newer gear. The business and work I do hasn't changed so the equipment has not become less effective in any way.
If you think that you need to upgrade gear all the time because a lot of tryhards on forums crap on about self centered rubbish as a crutch for their own insecurities, you should think again and not be so easily taken in.
Sometimes I shoot on a 600D/ Rebel and my clients are still more than happy and don't give a dame what tool I use, as long as I produce the results and I do every single time because I rely on my skill and knowledge, not have the need for the gear to be a crutch.
No Doubt changing gear will cost you money so you should work out what the benifits of that new gear are and how they are going to increase your bottom line as well as what the return on investment time is going to be.
If there is none, then you are not looking at it as a professional business person but rather an amateur spending money on their hobby. ...Show more →
