I bought a MK2 instead, deciding that I would use it in the interim until the MK3 price dropped somewhat. Then Canon’s projected price started hitting the news streams, and I realized that the approximate $4000 price tag here in Canada after taxes was more than I was interested in paying. As I was getting close to having the money together, I realized that the MK3 was coming soon and that I might as well wait for it.
#Canon 5d mark iii vs 6d wedding photography full
I stopped buying lenses (always hard for me!) and started putting money aside for a full frame body. I was doing more and more professional work and felt that the improved image quality and low light performance would be worth the added bulk and cost. Going back almost two years ago I had decided that I wanted to transition from my crop sensor DSLRs to a full frame body.
I don’t earn my living from photography, but I do have a policy that all new camera gear that I purchase must be funded solely by photography proceeds. So why in the world did I choose Canon’s new “budget” (if you call a camera that costs more than $2000 budget!) full frame DSLR over the “serious” choice of the Canon EOS 5D MK3? I have been asked this very question multiple times, so that I felt that it was appropriate to respond here in a more extensive fashion.įirst, a little history. I have a fairly extensive kit of expensive equipment, and have the means to purchase a new camera body of my choice (although I don’t feel that I have 1DX money). Beyond that, I know from the response of those that I consider very accomplished photographers that my work is good.
I’ve been published more times than I can count on one hand and get regularly asked to do paying work. At this stage I am a somewhat accomplished photographer. I do photography for both pleasure and for profit, so I call myself a “semi-pro” photographer. Not on my RadarĪs many of you know, I am a full time pastor and a part time photographer. Updated on April 24th, 2013: I have enjoyed my 6D so much that I have now sold my 5D MKII and purchased a second 6D body.
