Woud you still recommend 5d?
Frame rate, auto focus, dual card slots, and shutter lag are all significantly better on the 5D3, which are very important features for a pro photographer.
For someone that doesn't do video, shoots mostly still subjects, and is comfortable shooting to one SD card (many photographers), then the 6D is the better choice at the cheaper price but if the 3 things I mentioned are important, I recommend saving up for the 5Dm3 like I did.
better, I don't think there is any question about that. But in every
other way these two are very comparably similar. The biggest advantages
of the D6 are it's price and built in WIFI/GPS, which if you added these
features to the 5D it would be a thousand dollars more than it already
is. I do portraiture and some events. I tend to think I might get more
usable, in focus shots, especially for weddings and perhaps with
restless children with the 5D. But is the difference so much it's worth
paying an extra thousand dollars? That's the big question. Saving a
thousand dollars could allow me the purchase of a new lens, or some nice
props. I am still very undecided!
Pick your focus point and hold then frame your shot.
I can not think of a time in the past 22 years of shooting that I would want the camera to decide what to focus on.
Just bought a 6D and I am selling my 5D Miii to buy a second 6D.
5D plus wifi = 2 6D's .... no brainier unless you are making thousands of dollars a month from your camera.
I'm going to miss my dual card slot but that is about it. And JPG In the camera for HDR.... Who would want to create a HDR in the field unless it was for fun. To do a good job in HDR it needs to be done in post.
My 2 cents :)
