Should I buy a 6D or 5D4?
 
Currently I have a Canon 7D2. Lenses include the 100L and 100-400 II.
I shoot mostly birds (with the 100-400 II) and closeups of bugs
(right, with the 100L, but I also have the MPE65). Those are all FF
lenses. I'm throwing away more than 60% of the image. On the other
hand, I like the pixel density of the 7D2, and its burst speed.

So, should I buy a 6D or 5D3 or 5D4? Or just stick to the 7D2?

you're not throwing away anything.

On the other
hand, I like the pixel density of the 7D2, and its burst speed.


then keep the camera.

do you find the 7d2 limiting in any way? if not, then a new camera
isn't going to make much of a difference. it could be worse, given that
you like the pixel density and burst speed of what you have now.

Are you unhappy with your pictures? Most bird photogs are into heavy
cropping regardless of APS-C vs FF...

Hello Wally.
My preference is to be happy with my present camera unless /until it can't
do what I want.
For example, I've changed from a camera with average and selective metering
to one that also had spot metering. The fastest speed isn't used a lot but
does mean that I get the photo I want, rather than almost getting it.

Regards, Roger.

Firstly, how can anyone say what is right for you?

That aside, if you want a full-frame camera you obviously cannot stick
with your 7D. If you have EF-S lenses and want to save money you stick
with the 7D; those lenses will not fit the 5D/6D. The 7D is a good
camera, used by plenty of pros. If you're getting good results with it
(and you definitely should be) and you don't care about the smaller
sensor, stick with it.

I have a 6D and 5D Mark III and a 5D Mark IV. Sometimes I want a
lighter camera and I use the 6D. Often I use a tripod and I am more
likely to grab the 5D. It's quite hefty with the battery grip
installed. And recently I bought an M5 with the 18-150 and the 28mm
macro. It's an incredible camera at its size point.

Thanks to all who responded. I agree with everything you guys said.

I'm quite happy with the 7D2. But I have some spare cash in the bank
and was thinking how I might spend it. From what I can see, FF is not
going to give me much benefit. But hey, maybe I was overlooking
something. So I thought I would see if I could raise some ideas.

But your responses confirm that I should keep the money and stick with
what I have.

It might not have been so. A few years ago I was shooting macro with a
Canon 70-300mm zoom and a 500D closeup lens. I was getting darn good
results with it too. But I had some cash and decided to get the 100mm
L. And it was significantly better than the old rig. So sometimes one
can overlook something and miss out.

And that's why I thought I would ask my question about possibly moving
up to FF.

there's a big difference between a true macro lens and using a closeup
lens on a zoom lens, a non-ideal combination.

And that's why I thought I would ask my question about possibly moving

I kept out of the thread because I had no idea what you like to shoot,
and am am not familiar with Canon's line.
I frequently do WA. That's why I got my FF D800.
The drawback is that it's low light capability, while decent, could be
better. I got a D500, which is an APS C, with a much higher shutter
speed, than my FF. I use it for zoo and wildlife shooting, and my FF for
landscapes.

Well, if I got up the nerve, with the electronic shutter on my X-T2 I
could push shutter speed to 1/32000 sec. I just haven't put myself in a

If you want to get that sort of rate out of a Nikon FF you will have to
buy a D4S or D5.

There are a whole bunch of factors controlling frame rate. With the
D800/D810 Nikons the inhibiting factor is the massive file size.

There is a reason the FF Nikons best suited for high frame rate sport
shooting are the D4S 16MP(10fps) and D5 20MP (11fps). The D800/D810
while having great resolution is limited to 4fps before the buffer just
chokes on those fat NEF files.

The question I have is, just how important is a very high frame rate for you?

I found that where the target is passing through a practical capture,
or composition window, at an airshow, or motorsport event for example a
5 to 11 frame burst is the most that is actually practical. I typically
end up with a usable burst of 5 to 8 frames, and can find a single
frame, or perhaps two to work on.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/apoel49w3s05ota/screenshot_48.jpg

When I have shot an event such as the triathlon cyclists making a slow
climb towards me up an extremely steep hill, Cl at 4-5fps is just fine,
8-11fps is too much, and just over-kill.

results with it too. But I had some cash and decided to get the 100mm
L. And it was significantly better than the old rig. So sometimes one
can overlook something and miss out.

And that's why I thought I would ask my question about possibly moving
up to FF.


I kept out of the thread because I had no idea what you like to shoot,


I should have mentioned - birds and bugs.

The 800 doesn't go to 10 fps.


If you want to get that sort of rate out of a Nikon FF you will have to
buy a D4S or D5.

There are a whole bunch of factors controlling frame rate. With the
D800/D810 Nikons the inhibiting factor is the massive file size.


Couple that with a much slower rate when using the SD card over the CF
card. According to a Lexar tech rep I met, the SD interface in the D800
is slower than the CF interface.



There is a reason the FF Nikons best suited for high frame rate sport
shooting are the D4S 16MP(10fps) and D5 20MP (11fps). The D800/D810
while having great resolution is limited to 4fps before the buffer just
chokes on those fat NEF files.

The question I have is, just how important is a very high frame rate for
you?


If you are satisfied, great. I would think that the higher frame rate
gives me a chance of getting the wings of a bird in just the right
position. I am NOT saying that a lower FR is not good for animals & birds.

I found that where the target is passing through a practical capture, or
composition window, at an airshow, or motorsport event for example a 5
to 11 frame burst is the most that is actually practical. I typically
end up with a usable burst of 5 to 8 frames, and can find a single
frame, or perhaps two to work on.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/apoel49w3s05ota/screenshot_48.jpg

When I have shot an event such as the triathlon cyclists making a slow
climb towards me up an extremely steep hill, Cl at 4-5fps is just fine,
8-11fps is too much, and just over-kill.

So, should I buy a 6D or 5D3 or 5D4? Or just stick to the 7D2?

Firstly, how can anyone say what is right for you?

That aside, if you want a full-frame camera you obviously cannot stick
with your 7D. If you have EF-S lenses and want to save money you stick
with the 7D; those lenses will not fit the 5D/6D. The 7D is a good
camera, used by plenty of pros. If you're getting good results with it
(and you definitely should be) and you don't care about the smaller
sensor, stick with it.

I have a 6D and 5D Mark III and a 5D Mark IV. Sometimes I want a
lighter camera and I use the 6D. Often I use a tripod and I am more
likely to grab the 5D. It's quite hefty with the battery grip
installed. And recently I bought an M5 with the 18-150 and the 28mm
macro. It's an incredible camera at its size point.
https://www.flickr.com/photos/primeval/33826784322/

Thanks to all who responded. I agree with everything you guys said.

I'm quite happy with the 7D2. But I have some spare cash in the bank
and was thinking how I might spend it. From what I can see, FF is not
going to give me much benefit. But hey, maybe I was overlooking
something. So I thought I would see if I could raise some ideas.

But your responses confirm that I should keep the money and stick with
what I have.

It might not have been so. A few years ago I was shooting macro with a
Canon 70-300mm zoom and a 500D closeup lens. I was getting darn good

You are making a good decision, to keep using your APS-C.

BTW I didn't realize that your shoo flies with a cannon. :-p

Which it shouldn't be, but if you are shooting Ch, one would think that
that if one slot was performance downgraded, you would select the
medium which performed best. Even then the difference between the two
isn't going to be the biggest factor in slowing down the Ch rate, it is
still going to be the file size and the ability for the buffer to
clear. The 4fps rate found in the specs is the performance ceiling, not
a big issue in a studio, or for landscapes.

Thanks to all who responded. I agree with everything you guys said.

I'm quite happy with the 7D2. But I have some spare cash in the bank
and was thinking how I might spend it. From what I can see, FF is not
going to give me much benefit. But hey, maybe I was overlooking
something. So I thought I would see if I could raise some ideas.

But your responses confirm that I should keep the money and stick with
what I have.

It might not have been so. A few years ago I was shooting macro with a
Canon 70-300mm zoom and a 500D closeup lens. I was getting darn good
results with it too. But I had some cash and decided to get the 100mm
L. And it was significantly better than the old rig. So sometimes one
can overlook something and miss out.

And that's why I thought I would ask my question about possibly moving
up to FF.


I kept out of the thread because I had no idea what you like to shoot,


I should have mentioned - birds and bugs.

You did.

The 800 doesn't go to 10 fps.

If you want to get that sort of rate out of a Nikon FF you will have to
buy a D4S or D5.

There are a whole bunch of factors controlling frame rate. With the
D800/D810 Nikons the inhibiting factor is the massive file size.

Couple that with a much slower rate when using the SD card over the CF
card. According to a Lexar tech rep I met, the SD interface in the
D800 is slower than the CF interface.

Which it shouldn't be, but if you are shooting Ch, one would think that
that if one slot was performance downgraded, you would select the medium
which performed best. Even then the difference between the two isn't
going to be the biggest factor in slowing down the Ch rate, it is still
going to be the file size and the ability for the buffer to clear. The
4fps rate found in the specs is the performance ceiling, not a big issue
in a studio, or for landscapes.


There is a reason the FF Nikons best suited for high frame rate sport
shooting are the D4S 16MP(10fps) and D5 20MP (11fps). The D800/D810
while having great resolution is limited to 4fps before the buffer just
chokes on those fat NEF files.

The question I have is, just how important is a very high frame rate for
you?

If you are satisfied, great. I would think that the higher frame rate
gives me a chance of getting the wings of a bird in just the right
position.

Probably. It is just one method for capturing that magnificent miracle
shot, but still no guarantee. There are additional factors involved,
incuding, but not limited to stuff such as AF-C tracking.

I am NOT saying that a lower FR is not good for animals & birds.

I found that where the target is passing through a practical capture, or
composition window, at an airshow, or motorsport event for example a 5
to 11 frame burst is the most that is actually practical. I typically
end up with a usable burst of 5 to 8 frames, and can find a single
frame, or perhaps two to work on.

When I have shot an event such as the triathlon cyclists making a slow
climb towards me up an extremely steep hill, Cl at 4-5fps is just fine,
8-11fps is too much, and just over-kill.

There is a difference between shooting live critters and cars.

Are not pilots, drivers, and cyclists live critters?


Most of the time their vehicles are the subject. The expressions on the
planes and cares do not change.


However, for some odd reason the expressions on cyclists seem to change
quite often.

Different cyclists, therefore different expressions?
