My opinion....for what it's worth...The Nikon D500 and the 24-120mm. I have the D500 for several months and love it. I have a D750 as well, but grab the D500 most of the time. I use it primarily with the 200-500mm and the new Tamron 70-200mm G2. Unbelievable results. I also use a 16-35mm as that is about as wide (24-53 equiv) as I need to go. If I need wider, I use the D750. I just purchased a 24-120 after a successful opinion post here and can't wait for it to come. Good Luck!
Great feedback on the D500! I've heard many feel the same way. I'll be taking a look at my local camera store this weekend! Happy shooting

I had a quick look at your pictures under the link. Nice work!
Overall, for this kind of things, and looking mainly at the lenses, I think the Canon kit fits very well, with one solid zoom (I have had it for almost ten years now...), and two great primes, with a nice focal difference (and I could not praise the 135L high enough, especially for this kind of work).
Hey Xavier! Thanks for the feedback on my work, glad you enjoyed it.
I'm really gravitating toward this option. Shoot, I'd even consider a 5D Classic - just to revisit shooting and make things a little more challenging.

How come you don't list needing any strobes, or even flash? I would want at least two SB-900 and probably a couple of monolights with stands & modifiers as well.

Hey there Kent,
Great question - I did hold on to my speedlight kit. I have two SB800's, triggers and umbrellas!

Likely to go over a little over budget, but my advice is - since you'll have a 24-105 - is to go straight to the top and buy a mint 6D and 85mm f1.2L II off the buy and sell boards.
A 6D with an 85mm f1.2L II would be a strong contender for best combo in your portraiture and wedding shoots.
The 6D didn't cross my mind! I have rented the 85L II before back in college, that thing is insane. Not a bad price point either. Thanks Paul
